Present Shadows 钢琴五重奏

Present Shadows》的灵感来自早在十一世纪就保存在手稿中的旧西班牙礼仪圣咏。它旨在传达一种停滞感，而这正是原始旋律的旋律结构所唤起的，并通过使用循环装置、缓慢转换的和声主干以及建立中心焦点来实现这一目的，迫使音乐不断回到开头的素材

作曲家: Efthymiou Litha

原文简介:
Present Shadows is inspired by Old Hispanic liturgical chant preserved within manuscripts dating from as early as the eleventh century. It aims to convey a sense of stasis, which the melismatic structure of the original melodies evokes, and does so through the employment of cyclical devices, a slowly transforming harmonic backbone, and the establishment of central points of focus, forcing the music to continually return to the opening material.
