Serpents of Wisdom for horn in F and piano 凯斯肯 法国号 钢琴 法国号 (含钢琴伴奏) 朔特版

这首曲子的标题来自诺曼-麦克凯格（Norman MacCaig）的《凯尔特十字架》，这首诗将更早时期的象征符号栩栩如生地展现在人们面前，这些符号被雕刻在石头上，以抽象的形式缠绕和编织。我的脑海中还浮现出盘绕的蛇和盘绕的角的形象。这首乐曲的开头乐句是整首乐曲的主要音乐素材，是一个强烈而充满活力的乐句，我希望通过它来捕捉凯尔特十字架上这些高贵生物的精髓。编织和缠绕的概念在乐曲的展开过程中起到了重要作用。约翰-卡斯

原文简介:
The title of this piece comes from ‘Celtic Cross’ by Norman MacCaig, a poem that brings to life the symbols of an earlier time, carved in stone, entwined and plaited in abstract forms. The idea of a coiling serpent and the image of the coiled horn also came together in my mind. The opening phrase of the piece is responsible for much of the musical material for the whole piece, a strong and vibrant phrase that I wanted to capture something of the essence of these noble creatures on Celtic crosses. The idea of plaiting and entwining plays an important part in the unfolding of the piece. John Casken
