The Keening 麦克米伦．詹姆士 总谱 博浩版

为大型管弦乐团谱写的《Keening》只是麦克米伦的第二部管弦乐作品，创作于 1985-87 年间，当时他还是杜伦大学约翰-卡斯肯（John Casken）的学生。作曲家解释说，"keening "是一种与哀悼有关的声乐哀歌，存在于爱尔兰、苏格兰北部和其他文化的民间传统中。这部作品的大部分内容取材于盖尔哀歌曲调 "我悲伤的原因是伟大的"（Great is the Cause of My Sorrow），通常被称为 "Murt Ghlinne Comhann"（《格伦科哀歌》）。这部 25 分钟的乐谱一直由作曲家保留到 2010 年，2014 年在作曲家的指导下由 BBC 苏格兰交响乐团首演。这是当今最杰出的作曲家之一为管弦乐曲目增添的重要作品"

原文简介:
Scored for large orchestra The Keening was only the second of MacMillan’s orchestral works, written between 1985–87 when he was a student of John Casken at the University of Durham. The composer explains that ‘keening’ is a form of vocal lament associated with mourning, found in folk traditions of Ireland, northern Scotland and other cultures. Much of this work is based on the Gaelic lament tune ‘Great is the Cause of My Sorrow’, often known as ‘Murt Ghlinne Comhann’ (The Lament for Glencoe).This 25-minute score was withheld by the composer until 2010, and it received its first performance in 2014, with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under the composer’s direction. A significant addition to the orchestral repertoire by one the leading composers of today.
