The Sacred Harp 竖琴

戴维-利普塔克选择了亚伦-科普兰（Aaron Copland）在《阿巴拉契亚之春》、《牛仔竞技》和《比利小子》等多部美国音乐作品中最广为认可和赞誉的路线来创作这部作品。利普塔克从著名的形音符集《圣琴》中选取了一首赞美诗《奇妙的爱》作为灵感来源。异型音演唱既激烈又奔放，主要使用开放四度和五度的歌曲，并以特定的调式或模式为基础。利普塔克在作曲中使用了这一早期素材，创作出了一部具有独创性和音乐深度的作品"

原文简介:
David Liptak chose a route to writing this composition that has been most widely recognized and acclaimed by Aaron Copland in his various settings of Americana such as Appalachian Spring, Rodeo and Billy the Kid. Liptak took, as his source of inspiration, the tune "Wondrous Love," a hymn chosen from the well-known shaped-note collection, The Sacred Harp. Shaped-note singing was both vigorous and unrestrained, primarily using song with open fourths and fifths, and based in a particular key or mode. Liptak's compositional use of this earlier material has created a work with originality and musical depth.
