Beautiful Passing Concerto for Violin and Orchestra 麦基 协奏曲小提琴管弦乐团 小提琴加钢琴 博浩版
作曲家注：《美丽的逝去》分为上下两部，中间以小提琴快板隔开。前半部分是小提琴与乐队之间强烈对比的互动。乐队表现出一种群体心态，一种既可怕又有趣的集体歇斯底里。与其说它是恶意的，不如说它是机械的，对小提琴的细微差别视而不见。这种麻木是一种威胁，但就像瓷器店里的公牛一样，只要有足够的距离观察，也会觉得有些滑稽。渐渐地，乐团中的一些成员听到了理性的声音，开始支持小提琴。在一段快板之后，小提琴以飘逸的细腻给乐队留下了深刻印象，随后小提琴又开始了自己的粗暴演奏，其粗暴的三连音让乐队和独奏者第一次达成了共识。与第一部分不同的是，在第二部分中，他们保留了各自的个性，但又朝着共同的目标合力前进。这部作品的隐喻是小提琴掌握了自己的命运，与乐队竞争、指挥并最终放手。这一隐喻源于我的经历，在创作这首曲子期间，我亲眼目睹了我母亲掌控自己的命运，甚至预言了她放手的那一天，预言了她死亡的那一天。她对我说的最后一句话是：请告诉所有人，我有一个美丽的逝去

原文简介:
Composer's notes:Beautiful Passing is in two halves separated by a violin cadenza. The first half deals with the interaction between the sharply contrasting materials of the violin and the orchestra. The orchestra develops something of a group mentality, a mass hysteria that is both scary and funny. It isnt so much malevolent as it is mechanical and oblivious to the nuance of the violin. That insensitivity is threatening but like a bull in a china shop, also somewhat funny to observe with enough distance. Gradually, a few members of the orchestra hear the voice of reason and become supportive of the violin. After a cadenza that impresses the orchestra with fluttering delicacy the violin introduces its own version of brutality crushing triple stops which command, for the first time a consensus between the orchestra and soloist. In this second part they retain the individuality but conspire toward common goals, unlike the first part.The governing metaphor of the work has to do with the violin gaining control of its own destiny, competing with, commanding and ultimately letting go of the orchestra. This metaphor arises from my experience, during the composition of the piece, watching my mother gain control of her destiny to the point of predicting the day she would let go, predicting the day of her death. Her last words to me were Please tell everyone I had a beautiful passing.- Steven Mackey
