Reflections Ten Solos for Guitar

出版社:Songburd Music
商品描述:
Reflections is a set of ten solo pieces for classical guitar that focuses on connecting compositional ideas and moments expressed in the framework of each piece of this collection. Vesta, Gaia and Lakshmi assume some connection to mythology as these titles take their names from three notable Roman, Greek and Hindu goddesses. Vesta, Gaia and Lakshmi are classical pieces, but they are not without jazz influence, using the major scale modes to convey a sense of mood and atmosphere that is commonly found in impressionism. Pulse No. 1 and No. 2 follow the idea of maintaining a steady beat over changing meter to influence the way the music is perceived. The melody at the end of Pulse No. 1 creates the melodic material of Pulse No. 2, which can be thought of as an extension to No. 1. Inspired by minimalist and popular music these pieces are not melodically and harmonically complex, and what makes them of interest is how the feeling of the beat is different in each piece. Chiasma Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are pieces that find common ground in “linking,” created by using similar compositional devices such as chord shapes and patterns, which gives the impression of crossing over or exchanging information from one piece to another. Sleeping Muse is a three-movement work inspired by the famous 1910 bronze sculpture of Constantin Brâncuși’s “Sleeping Muse,” with each movement expressing some reflection or meditation on Brâncuși’s work, illustrating the notion of drifting off to sleep, dreaming and waking, while characterizing the impact of our dreams on reality. Synesthesia is a highly chromatic piece with distantly related harmonic progressions that gives the listener the sense of seeing the different colors in the score and/or hearing the colors in the music. The abstract nature of these pieces encourages the performer to reflect and draw their own conclusions of imagery and story within the music.

《反思》是一套由十首古典吉他獨奏曲組成的作品集，其重點是在這套作品集的每首曲子的框架中將作曲思想和所表達的時刻聯繫起來。

《灶神》、《蓋亞》和《拉克希米》這三首曲子的名字分別取自羅馬、希臘和印度教中三位著名的女神，因此與神話有一定的聯繫。 灶神》、《蓋亞》和《拉克希米》是古典樂曲，但也不乏爵士樂的影響，它們使用大調音階調式來傳達印象派中常見的情緒和氛圍。

Pulse No.1 和 No.2 遵循了在改變節拍的同時保持穩定節拍的理念，從而影響音樂的感知方式。 脈衝 1 號》結尾的旋律創造了《脈衝 2 號》的旋律素材，《脈衝 2 號》可視為《脈衝 1 號》的延伸。 受極簡主義和流行音樂的啟發，這些樂曲在旋律和和聲上並不複雜，它們之所以引人入勝，是因為每首樂曲的節拍感都不盡相同。

Chiasma Nos.1、2 和 3 是在 "連接 "中找到共同點的樂曲，它們通過使用類似的作曲手段（如和絃形狀和模式）來創作，給人一種從一首樂曲跨越到另一首樂曲或交換資訊的感覺。

沉睡的繆斯》是一部三樂章作品，靈感來自 1910 年康斯坦丁-布拉庫西（Constantin Brâncuși）的著名青銅雕塑 "沉睡的繆斯"，每個樂章都表達了對布拉庫西作品的反思或沉思，詮釋了沉睡、做夢和醒來的概念，同時描述了夢境對現實的影響。

Synesthesia 是一首高度半音化的樂曲，和聲的進行遙相呼應，讓聽眾有一種在樂譜中看到不同顏色和/或在音樂中聽到不同顏色的感覺。

這些作品的抽象性質鼓勵演奏者對音樂中的意象和故事進行思考並得出自己的結論。
