Larghetto for Orchestra and other works 麦克米伦．詹姆士 管弦乐团 总谱 博浩版
这本出版物在同一封面下介绍了为各种管弦乐评分的各种短篇作品。《Larghetto for Orchestra》是麦克米伦为他著名的无伴奏混声合唱团《Miserere》（2009年）所作的管弦乐作品（2017年），该作品用拉丁文谱写了《诗篇》第51篇'神啊，求你怜悯我，照你的大怜悯'，这是格雷戈里奥-阿莱格里在17世纪著名的忏悔文本。Mémoire impériale》是为纪念爱丁堡大学音乐学院 1994 年成立一百周年而委托苏格兰作曲家创作的约翰-里德（John Reid）将军的进行曲《老高卢》变奏曲之一。里德将军（1721-1807 年）曾是爱丁堡大学的法律系学生，也是著名的长笛演奏家和英国军队进行曲作曲家，他要求每年举办一次音乐会，演奏他的一首或多首作品。2012 年为布里顿交响乐团创作的《One》是一首单旋律作品，其中的单行线在乐器间传递，随着它的出现和发展而呈现出不同的色彩。For Sonny》（2011 年，2013 年首演）和《Ein Lämplein verlosch》（2018 年，2019 年首演）原本是为弦乐四重奏而作的简短私人纪念曲目，在此重新改编为弦乐管弦乐。近一个世纪前，最后 36 名居民从英伦三岛最偏远的圣基尔达群岛撤离，该群岛位于美丽而崎岖的苏格兰西海岸，与世隔绝。时隔 86 年后，圣基尔达的音乐被重新发现，并由特雷弗-莫里森（Trevor Morrison）在苏格兰一家护理院录制。这些歌曲由多位苏格兰作曲家 "重新演绎"，录制成 Decca 唱片，萦绕在耳边的旋律为人们提供了与所谓 "世界边缘之岛 "的最后联系。麦克米伦的《希尔塔》由弦乐队现场演奏，并迭加了特雷弗-莫里森的录音。作品的情感共鸣远远超过了其简单的构思"

This publication presents under one cover various short works for sundry orchestral scorings.Larghetto for Orchestra is MacMillan’s orchestration (2017) of his celebrated Miserere for a cappella mixed choir (2009), a setting in Latin of Psalm 51, ‘Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy’, the penitential text famously set in the 17th century by Gregorio Allegri. The Larghetto orchestration was commissioned by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in celebration of Manfred Honeck’s 10th Anniversary as Music Director.Mémoire impériale is one of a number of variations on General John Reid’s march tune Old Gaul commissioned from Scottish composers to mark the centenary in 1994 of the Faculty of Music at Edinburgh University. The Faculty was established following a bequest by General Reid (1721–1807), a former law student at the University and a renowned flute player and composer of marches for the British Army, and he asked that an annual concert be organised at which one or more of his compositions be played.Composed in 2012 for the Britten Sinfonia, One is a monody in which a single line is passed around the instruments, painting it with different colours as it emerges and develops. Lasting only a few minutes, its singularity is maintained until blossoming in the last few bars.For Sonny (2011, orch 2013) and Ein Lämplein verlosch (2018, orch 2019) are short, private memorial tributes originally for string quartet and here rescored for string orchestra.Hirta was composed in 2016 as part of Decca’s The Lost Songs of St Kilda project. Nearly a century ago, the last 36 residents were evacuated from the most remote part of the British Isles, St Kilda, an isolated archipelago off the beautiful and rugged western coast of Scotland. After 86 years, the music of St Kilda was rediscovered, recorded in a Scottish care home by Trevor Morrison, an elderly man who had been taught piano by an inhabitant of St Kilda. The songs were ‘reimagined’ for the Decca album by various Scottish composers, the haunting melodies offering a last link to the so-called ‘island on the edge of the world’. MacMillan’s Hirta is performed live by string orchestra, overlaid by Trevor Morrison’s recording. The emotional resonance of the piece far outweighs the simplicity of its conception.
