Byzantium 提佩特 总谱 朔特版

迈克尔-蒂佩特在描述是什么吸引他选择了 W. B. 叶芝的两首关于拜占庭的诗歌时说。叶芝的两首关于拜占庭的诗歌吸引他的原因，让我们得以一窥他当时的想法，拜占庭作为一种自我更新模式的魅力显而易见：'这首诗歌本身的结晶强度为将其语言意象融入音乐提供了挑战；[而且]我完全认同其对人工制品概念的强调，这些人工制品蕴含的价值可以与日常世界的无常和人类心脏跳动的复杂性相匹配。(迈克尔-蒂佩特）

原文简介:
Michael Tippett’s description of what drew him to the longer of W. B. Yeats’ two poems on Byzantium gives us a glimpse of what was going through his mind as the fascination of Byzantium as a mode of self-renewal becomes evident: ‘The crystalline intensity of the poem itself offered a challenge in setting its verbal imagery to music; [and] I identified completely with its emphasis on the notion of artefacts, enshrining values that can be set against the impermanence of the everyday world and the complexities of the human beating heart.’ (Michael Tippett)
