Sonya's Lullaby 摇篮曲
Lullaby(摇篮曲)'这个词的意思是催人入睡的咒语",奥利弗-克努森在其 6 分钟精致钢琴曲《索尼娅的摇篮曲》的曲目说明中解释道。索尼娅是我的女儿,1977 年 10 月写下这首曲子的第一张草图时,她才四个月大,正患有失眠症。 从形式上讲,我希望这首曲子不言自明--但也许值得一提的一点是,勃拉姆斯、斯克里亚宾、科普兰和卡特等作曲家对乐器最低音区产生的泛音的和声利用,对钢琴写作产生了最初的刺激。 索尼娅的摇篮曲》构成了克努森室内乐作品三部曲的中心板块,该三部曲还包括为小提琴和钢琴创作的《秋天》,以及为双簧管和弦乐三重奏创作的《康塔塔》"

原文简介:
‘The word Lullaby is used in the sense of an incantation to sleep’ explains Oliver Knussen in a programme note for his exquisite 6-minute piano piece Sonya’s Lullaby. ‘Sonya is my daughter, who was a four-month-old insomniac in October 1977 when the first sketch of this piece was written. Formally the music is, I hope, self-explanatory – but perhaps it is worth mentioning that an initials stimulus toward the piano writing was the harmonic exploitation of overtones produced from the lowest register of the instrument by composers as diverse as Brahms, Scriabin, Copland and Carter.’ Sonya’s Lullaby forms the central panel of Knussen’s triptych of chamber works which also includes Autumnal for violin and piano, and Cantata for oboe and string trio.
