Prière G major op. 158 聖桑斯 大調 大提琴加鋼琴 朔特版

卡米耶-聖桑在創作《A 小調第一協奏曲》作品 33 時，寫下了大提琴文學的經典之作。但這位法國音樂家還為這一樂器創作了其他作品：更多的獨奏作品、第二協奏曲、兩首奏鳴曲、鋼琴伴奏組曲以及他最著名的作品《動物狂歡節》中的獨奏樂章：天鵝。這位元法國音樂家不僅創作了一系列室內樂作品和小型作品，還創作了管風琴作品，這也是他音樂生涯的開端。在為管風琴創作了兩首幻想曲之後，聖桑最終於 1919 年為大提琴和管風琴創作了作品 158《Prière》（他的祈禱）。這首曲子曲調簡單，朗朗上口： 開頭的康塔貝舞曲緊接著富有表現力的中段，最後回到安靜的開頭。一年後，原出版商又出版了小提琴改編曲，作品 158 之二，與大提琴版曲調略有不同，管風琴聲部與小提琴聲部一致，結尾也有所改動。這兩個版本都具有沉思的特點，非常適合音樂會或禮儀演出。管風琴部分是為雙手動樂器準備的--作曲家自由標注了幾個踏板音符--這樣普裡埃也可以在鋼琴上演奏"

原文簡介:
When writing his Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33, Camille Saint-Saëns wrote a classic of the violoncello literature. But the French musician even wrote other works for this in-strument: further solo works, a second concerto as well as two sonatas, a suite with piano accompaniment and the solo movement from his probably best-known work, The Carnival of Animals: the Swan. The French musician completed his extensive oeuvre with a series of chamber music pieces and smaller works, but also wrote compositions for the organ, for the instrument he had started his musical career with. After two fantasias for organ, Saint-Saëns eventually wrote his Prière, his Prayer, for violoncello and organ, Op. 158 in 1919. It is a simple and catchy tune: The cantabile beginning is followed by an expressive middle section which leads back to the quiet beginning. One year later, the original publisher also published an adaptation for violin, Op. 158bis which differs from the violoncello version in small corrections, an organ part adjusted to the register of the violin and a modified end-ing. Due to their meditative character, both versions are ideal for concert or liturgical per-formances. The organ part is meant for a double-manual instrument - the few pedal notes being marked ad libitum by the composer - so that Prière can also be performed on the piano.
