Descend to Earth 彼得版

英国作曲家肯-伯顿（Ken Burton）被 18 世纪奴隶和作家菲利斯-惠特利（Phyllis Wheatley）的诗歌所吸引，创作了他的作品《降临大地》（Descend to Earth）。2020 年大流行病和种族压迫的双重困扰与惠特利简洁的诗歌产生了共鸣，诗歌的开头让人想起圣诞节/假日的季节。这首为 SSAATTBB 无伴奏合唱团和男中音独唱而作的作品将在许多主题各异的节目中占有一席之地。这是受 VOCES8 委托为其 2020 年的 "伦敦现场 "音乐节创作的，并由他们与男中音罗德里克-威廉姆斯合作首演

原文简介:
British composer Ken Burton was drawn to the poetry of 18th-century slave and writer Phyllis Wheatley for his piece Descend to Earth. The dual troubles of pandemic and racial oppression in 2020 resonate with Wheatley’s concise poem, the start of which recalls the Christmas/Holiday season. Written for SSAATTBB unaccompanied choir plus baritone solo, Descend to Earth will have a place in many programs with varied themes. It was commissioned by VOCES8 for their LIVE From London festival in 2020 and premiered by them with baritone Roderick Williams.
