The Seas of Kirk Swarf op. 281 for bass clarinet and strings 马克斯威尔．戴维斯 竖笛加管弦乐团 朔特版

由圣马格努斯音乐节委托创作并于 2007 年首演的《柯克斯沃夫的海》与作曲家的许多作品一样，灵感来自马克斯韦尔-戴维斯居住的奥克尼群岛。 Kirk Swarf 是奥克尼桑代岛（Sanday）外两座无人居住的小岛 Holms of Ire 附近的一片海域，顾名思义，岛上有一座被毁坏的小教堂。作曲家解释说，有两种海在这里交汇互动--一种是来自西面韦斯特雷（Westray）的较狂野的海，另一种是较平静的海，结果即使在平静的日子里，也会突然掀起巨浪，产生非凡的戏剧效果"

原文简介:
Commissioned by the St Magnus Festival and first performed there in 2007, The Seas of Kirk Swarf, like many of the composer’s works, draws inspiration from the Orkney Isles where Maxwell Davies lives. Kirk Swarf is a stretch of sea off the Holms of Ire, two small uninhabited islands off Sanday, Orkney and as the name suggests, on shore is a ruined chapel. The composer explains that two kinds of sea meet and interact here at this point - the wilder sea from Westray to the west, and a calmer sea, resulting in huge waves suddenly rearing up, even on calm days, with extraordinary dramatic effect.
