Become Ocean for Orchestra 管弦乐团

"多年来，我的管弦乐变得更简单、更宽广。Clouds of Forgetting, Clouds of Unknowing（1991-95 年）包含四种不同的音乐质地。In the White Silence（1998 年）有三种。为路-哈里森》（For Lou Harrison）（2002 年）将其缩减为两种。在Dark Waves（2007 年）中，我终于找到了一种。当我第一次听到这首曲子时，我就开始想，我是否能在更长的时间内保持类似的声音。这就是Become Ocean，一首关于存在的浩瀚、深邃和神秘潮汐的冥想曲"

Become Ocean

原文简介:
“Over the years my orchestral music has become simpler and more expansive. Clouds of Forgetting, Clouds of Unknowing (1991-95) contains four different musical textures. In the White Silence (1998) has three. For Lou Harrison (2002) reduces this to just two. In Dark Waves (2007), I finally got to one. When I first heard that piece I began to wonder if I could sustain a similar sound for a longer span of time. The result is Become Ocean, a meditation on the vast, deep and mysterious tides of existence.

The title is borrowed from a mesostic verse that John Cage wrote in honor of Lou Harrison's birthday. Likening Harrison's music to a river in delta, Cage writes:

Listening to it we become ocean.

Life on this earth first emerged from the sea. And as the polar ice melts and sea level rises, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may quite literally become ocean.”
