String quartet no. 1 (2015) 弦乐四重奏 芬尼卡·盖尔曼版

亚历克斯-弗里曼（Alex Freeman）从一位地质学家朋友给他看的一系列照片中找到了弦乐四重奏（2015）的最初灵感，这些照片拍摄的是岩层中的en échelon矿脉。这部单乐章作品的开头是以拨弦单音点缀的开放式弦乐，让人联想到晶莹剔透的东西，随即又以类似快速卡恰（Caccia）的手法注入了跌宕起伏的抒情线条。作品的中段在松散的慢板素材中变得更加悬浮，这些素材基于一种抒情卡农（prolation canon）技法，由多层次的自由、富有表现力、抒情甚至是挽歌式的音乐组成，以不同的速度流动。当作品结束时，这些素材汇聚成一种有节奏的脉动静止和一种近乎合唱般的陈述"

原文简介:
Alex Freeman found initial inspiration for his string quartet (2015) in a series of photographs a geologist friend showed him of en échelon veins in rock formations. The open strings punctuated with pizzicato unisons that begin the single-movement work call to mind something crystalline and shimmering, which is immediately infused with tumbling lyrical lines in something of a rapid caccia technique throughout. The middle of the work becomes more suspended in slower material loosely based on a technique of prolation canon, comprises layers of free, expressive, lyrical, and even elegiac music moving at different speeds. As the work concludes, the materials converge in a rhythmically pulsating stasis and an almost chorale-like statement.
