The Sacred Harp 豎琴 總譜

大衛-利普塔克選擇了亞倫-科普蘭（Aaron Copland）在《阿巴拉契亞之春》、《牛仔競技》和《比利小子》等多部美國音樂作品中最廣為認可和讚譽的路線來創作這部作品。利普塔克從著名的形音符集《聖琴》中選取了一首讚美詩《奇妙的愛》作為靈感來源。異型音演唱既激烈又奔放，主要使用開放四度和五度的歌曲，並以特定的調式或模式為基礎。利普塔克在作曲中使用了這一早期素材，創作出了一部具有獨創性和音樂深度的作品"

原文簡介:
David Liptak chose a route to writing this composition that has been most widely recognized and acclaimed by Aaron Copland in his various settings of Americana such as Appalachian Spring, Rodeo and Billy the Kid. Liptak took, as his source of inspiration, the tune "Wondrous Love," a hymn chosen from the well-known shaped-note collection, The Sacred Harp. Shaped-note singing was both vigorous and unrestrained, primarily using song with open fourths and fifths, and based in a particular key or mode. Liptak's compositional use of this earlier material has created a work with originality and musical depth.
