Adam’s Lament 佩尔特．阿尔沃 挽歌 总谱 环球版

阿尔沃-帕特多年来一直对阿托斯的圣西罗安（1866-1938 年）的生平和作品着迷。早在 1991 年，西洛安的著作就启发了帕特为弦乐队创作的《西洛安之歌》，"我的灵魂向往主......"。帕特的新作《亚当的哀歌》再次以西鲁安的文字为基础，其中这位修道士哀叹亚当失去天堂的痛苦。西洛安的素描和文字极富诗意，是俄罗斯诗歌中最重要的作品之一。用俄语演唱的文本的内容和结构决定了音乐的走向，甚至是最微小的细节。标点符号、音节数量和词的轻重缓急在创作中都起着决定性的作用。

原文简介:

Arvo Pärt has been fascinated by the life and work of St Silouan of Athos (1866-1938) for many years. As early as 1991, the writings of Silouan inspired Pärt to his composition Silouan's Song, 'My soul yearns after the Lord ...' for string orchestra. Pärt's new work Adam's Lament is once again based on a text by Silouan, in which the monk laments Adam's pain over the loss of paradise. Silouan's sketches and writings are of great poetic power, and represent some of the most significant works in Russian poetry. The content and structure of the texts, which are sung in Russian, dictate the course of the music down to the smallest detail. Punctuation, syllable counts and word emphases all play decisive roles in the composition.

For me, the name Adam is a collective term not merely for the whole of humanity, but for each individual, regardless of time, era, social class or religious affiliation. And this collective Adam has suffered and lamented on this earth for millennia. Our ancestor Adam foresaw the human tragedy that was to come and experienced it as his own guilty responsibility, the result of his sinful act. He suffered all the cataclysms of humanity into the depths of desperation, inconsolable in his agony. Arvo Pärt
