Symphonie Nr.4 ‘Los Angeles’ 佩爾特．阿爾沃 交響曲 總譜 環球版

洛杉磯愛樂樂團藝術總監查德-史密斯（Chad Smith）長期以來一直希望委約阿爾沃-派特創作一部新作品。2007 年 2 月，當洛杉磯愛樂樂團向阿爾沃-派特提出這一想法時，這一建議恰逢其時。當時，派特正在創作一部古老的斯拉夫教會教規，其中包含對守護天使的祈禱--與 "洛杉磯 "的聯繫令人難以抗拒。派特希望看到這部作品由世界上最好的交響樂團之一--洛杉磯愛樂樂團在其音樂總監埃薩-佩卡-薩洛寧（Esa-Pekka Salonen）的指揮下，在當代最激動人心的音樂廳之一--沃爾特-迪士尼音樂廳演奏，這進一步激發了他接受委託的想法。在總監克裡斯-萊瑟姆（Chris Latham）的不懈努力下，坎培拉國際音樂節（Canberra International Music Festival / Ars Musica Australis）和悉尼音樂學院（Sydney Conservatorium of Music）作為聯合委託方加入了該專案。帕爾特花了這麼長時間（37 年）才創作出他的第四交響曲，這可能會讓人感到驚訝。第三交響曲於 1971 年問世，當時正值轉型期，派特尚未完全形成他至今仍在使用的 "丁丁納布利風格"。自從形成這種風格後，帕爾特就再也沒有寫過任何在範圍或結構上可稱為 "交響樂 "的管弦樂作品。他將第四交響曲稱為 "洛杉磯"，以此來紀念他作曲生涯中的這一重要階段。第四交響曲》吸收了帕爾特為絃樂隊創作的《這些話......》，該作品於 2008 年 5 月在哥本哈根首演。正如之前在帕爾特的一些早期器樂作品中看到的那樣，文本的所有參數（音節數、語氣、標點符號等）在作品結構中起著決定性的作用。阿爾沃-派特曾將第四交響曲《洛杉磯》獻給米哈伊爾-霍多爾科夫斯基"

原文簡介:
Chad Smith, Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, has long nurtured the desire to commission a new work by Arvo Pärt. When the Los Angeles Philharmonic submitted this idea to Arvo Pärt in February 2007, the suggestion came at precisely the right moment. Pärt was working at that time with an ancient canon in Church Slavonic containing a prayer to a guardian angel - the connection to 'Los Angeles' was irresistible. Pärt was further inspired to take the commission by the idea of seeing this work performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, one of the best orchestras in the world, under its music director Esa-Pekka Salonen, and in the Walt Disney Concert Hall, one of the most exciting concert buildings of our time. The Canberra International Music Festival / Ars Musica Australis and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music joined the project as co-commissioners, thanks to the committed work of director Chris Latham. It may come as a surprise that it has taken so long (37 years) for Pärt to produce his fourth symphony. Symphony No. 3 emerged in 1971, in a time of transition before Pärt had fully developed the 'Tintinnabuli style' which he still employs today. Since developing this style, Pärt has not written any orchestral works which could be called 'symphonic' in scope or structure. With Symphony No. 4, which he calls 'Los Angeles', he creates a reference to this essential phase in his compositional life. Symphony No. 4 incorporates Pärt's These Words… for string orchestra, which was premiered in May 2008 in Copenhagen. As was previously seen in some of Pärt's early instrumental works, all parameters of the text (number of syllables, inflection, punctuation etc) play a decisive role in the structure of the composition. Arvo Pärt has dedicated Symphony No. 4 'Los Angeles' to Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
