Frammenti da 'Chiara'

这首为两支对唱女声合唱团创作的作品，旋律自由飘逸，和声光彩照人，大部分时间都在低沉的钢琴声中度过，作品中的一个词'chiara'（意大利语中的'清晰'）以及其他一些语言中的对应词都是对这个词的探索。克努森有些隐晦地写道，这首作品 "与圣克莱尔、天使和大炮有关"。这首作品的氛围令人震撼--稍纵即逝、令人魂牵梦萦、难以捉摸，近乎神秘--这使得《Frammenti da 'Chiara'》这首他唯一的合唱作品成为重新发现的好时机"

原文简介:
Mostly inhabiting a hushed pianissimo, the free floating melismas and luminous harmonies of this work for two antiphonal choirs of female voices explore one word: ‘chiara’ (‘clear’ in Italian) and its equivalents in a few other languages. Knussen, somewhat cryptically, writes that the piece ‘has something to do with St Clare, angels, and canons.’ The striking atmosphere – fleeting, hauntingly elusive and almost mystical – makes Frammenti da 'Chiara', his only choral work, ripe for rediscovery.
