Lute-Book Lullaby 鲁特琴 摇篮曲

Lute-Book Lullaby》是一首令人惊叹的圣诞颂歌，在 21 世纪之交首次引起了人们对亚历山大-埃斯特朗日音乐的关注。受屡获殊荣的室内合唱团 Tenebrae 委托，这首优美的混声作品将甜美的 "摇篮曲 "歌词与萦绕心头、令人回味的女高音独唱形成鲜明对比。丰富而神秘的和声让人联想起梅西安和豪厄尔斯，反映了勒埃斯特朗日早年在牛津接受的合唱训练。

原文简介:
Lute-Book Lullaby is the stunning Christmas anthem which first brought the music of Alexander L’Estrange to our attention at the turn of the 21st century. Commissioned by award-winning chamber choir, Tenebrae, this beautiful mixed-voice composition contrasts a sweet “lulla, lullaby” refrain with a haunting and evocative soprano solo. The rich, mysterious harmonies, reminiscent of Messiaen and Howells, reflect L'Estrange's early musical training as a chorister in Oxford. Recorded by Tenebrae for Signum Records on a CD entitled Mother and Child, conducted by Nigel Short. Lute-Book Lullaby is part of Faber Choral Signature Series which introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of living composers, offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
