The Death of Oscar 麦克米伦．詹姆士 总谱 博浩版

奥斯卡之死》（2012 年）是一首微型音调诗，取材于吟游诗人奥西安的传说及其儿子奥斯卡之死。在奥西恩的传说中，奥斯卡向国王凯尔布瑞发起单挑，虽然取得了胜利，却因伤势过重而死，他的父亲和爱人为他哀悼。詹姆斯-麦克弗森（James MacPherson）在 18 世纪收集的这些传说的真实性一直存在争议，但毋庸置疑的是，它们对苏格兰和凯尔特文化的认知产生了巨大影响，尤其是在海外--受到拿破仑和托马斯-杰斐逊等政治人物的推崇，并启发了从门德尔松（Mendelssohn）的《芬戈洞穴》到歌德（Goethe）的《少年维特之烦恼》（Die Leiden des jungen Werther）等浪漫主义艺术家"

原文简介:
The Death of Oscar (2012) is a miniature tone poem drawing upon the legend of the bardic poet Ossian and the death of his son Oscar. In the legends of Ossian, Oscar challenged the High King Cairbre to single combat and, though victorious, died of his wounds and was mourned by his father and lover. These tales collected by James MacPherson in the 18th century have long been debated as regards their authenticity, but what is not in doubt is the massive influence they had on perceptions of Scottish and Celtic culture, particularly overseas – admired by political figures such as Napoleon and Thomas Jefferson and inspiring Romantic artists from Mendelssohn in Fingal’s Cave to Goethe in Die Leiden des jungen Werther.
