Three High Places for Solo Cello 大提琴(含钢琴伴奏)

"戈登-赖特是我一生的挚友。三十年来，戈登和我分享了我们两个最大的爱好：音乐和阿拉斯加。戈登是我的音乐合作者、隔壁邻居、环保主义者和露营伙伴。这些小品是我们友谊中三个时刻和地点的音乐素描。和阿拉斯加一样，戈登也是个大块头。他总是以自己的方式生活。他的死也如他所愿。我们发现他躺在丘加奇山脉小屋的甲板上，蜷缩在他最喜欢的白桦树旁，眺望特纳根臂对岸的复活谷和希望小镇。- 约翰-路德-亚当斯

原文简介:
“Gordon Wright was the friend of a lifetime. For thirty years Gordon and I shared our two greatest passions: music and Alaska. Gordon was my musical collaborator, my next-door neighbor, my fellow environmentalist and my camping buddy. These miniatures are musical sketches of three moments and places in our friendship. Like Alaska, Gordon was larger than life. He always lived his own way. And he died just as he would have wanted. We found him lying on the deck of his cabin in the Chugach Mountains, curled up against his favorite birch tree, looking across the waters of Turnagain Arm toward the Resurrection Valley and the tiny settlement of Hope.” - John Luther Adams

This music contains no normal stopped tones. All the sounds are produced as natural harmonics or on open strings. There are no harmonics higher than the sixth. So these sounds should be clear and resonant. Even so, balancing the harmonics with the open strings requires careful attention.

The durations of the individual pieces are given at the end of each.

The total duration of the set is about ten minutes.
