Shakespeare Pictures

在担任皇家莎士比亚剧团音乐总监和室内作曲家期间，奈杰尔-赫斯为 20 多部作品谱写了音乐。赫斯从三部作品中选取了音乐，组成了一个 12 分钟的套曲《莎士比亚的画像》。它以《无事生非》喧闹的序曲开始，随后是《冬天的故事》中描绘美丽雕像的对比鲜明的慢板乐章，然后是《元老院的入口》，展现了西泽罗马的巨大盛况。这部作品非常适合演奏过并喜欢赫斯作品《东海岸图景》的乐队。这部管乐组曲于 2008 年受伯明翰交响管乐团委托创作。现在，原曲经过扩充和重新配器，形成了新的交响管乐团三乐章组曲。

原文简介:
While Music Director and House Composer for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Nigel Hess wrote music for over twenty productions. Hess has taken music from three works to form a 12-minute suite called Shakespeare Pictures. It begins with the boisterous overture to Much Ado About Nothing, followed by a contrasting slow movement depicting the beautiful statue from A Winter’s Tale before displaying huge pomp of Caesar’s Rome with The Entry to the Senate. This work is ideal for bands that have played and enjoyed Hess’s work East Coast Pictures. This wind band suite was commissioned in 2008 by Birmingham Symphonic Winds. The original music is now expanded and re-orchestrated to form a new three-movement suite for symphonic wind orchestra.
