Symphony No.3: 'Silence' 麦克米伦．詹姆士 交响曲 总谱 博浩版

这部作品的灵感来自日本伟大作家远藤周作（1923-96 年）的小说《沉默》。他在书中提出了深刻的哲学问题，并与 2000 年前最痛苦的问题之一 "我的上帝，我的上帝，你为什么抛弃了我？"产生了共鸣。远藤的 "沉默 "是上帝面对人类无情本性所产生的可怕事件时的沉默：酷刑、种族灭绝、大屠杀。不过，对远藤来说，这种沉默不是不存在，而是存在。作曲家沉默的空虚和孤独蕴含着可能性和力量。在这首单乐章交响曲中，音乐与静默之间的联系是显而易见的；作品在静默中开始，高潮是一个延长的费尔马塔。最后是一小节的沉默--这是整部作品的构思和隐喻点"

原文简介:
The inspiration for this work came from the novel Silence by the great Japanese writer, Shusaku Endo (1923–96). His book asks profound philosophical questions and resonates with one of the most anguished questions asked 2,000 years ago, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Endo’s ‘silence’ is the silence of God in the face of terrible events springing from the merciless nature of man: torture, genocide, holocaust. For Endo, though, this silence is not absence but presence, a notion that has many musical analogies. The emptiness and solitude of a composer’s silence is nevertheless pregnant with the promise of possibility and potency. The connections between music and silence are made palpable in this single-movement symphony; the work begins in silence and the climax is a prolonged fermata. The final event is a bar of silence – the conception and metaphorical point of the entire work.
