The Water of Lethe for violin, viola, violoncello and piano 细川俊夫 钢琴四重奏 大提琴钢琴 朔特版

Lethe'在古希腊语中的意思是'遗忘'。据说在希腊神话中，冥界有几条流淌的河流，莱特河就是其中之一，逝者喝下河水，可以消除前世记忆，为灵魂转世重新设定。我想创作既无开始也无结束的音乐，就像一条静静流淌的河流，用声音来比喻水。在爱中，在悲伤中，在人类的每一件事上，时间用他的翅膀洒下莱特河的水。(W. S. Landor) 细川敏夫

原文简介:
‘Lethe’ means ‘oblivion’ in ancient Greek. It is said that in Greek mythology there are several rivers flowing in the underworld; River Lethe is one of them, and the deceased drink the water from there to erase memories of their previous lifes and to reset themselves for the reincarnation of their spirit. I would like to write music with neither a beginning nor an end, like a quietly flowing river, where sound is a metaphor for water. ‘On love, on grief, on every human thing, Time sprinkles Lethe’s water with his wing.’ (W. S. Landor) Toshio Hosokawa
