Tread Softly 弦乐四重奏

轻声踏步》的灵感来自两个截然不同的来源：中世纪早期西班牙的宗教音乐和黛比-洛克的艺术作品《重走你的路--布里斯托尔 I》。虽然相隔一千多年，但这两个来源却有一个共同的特点--在静态的形式中蕴含着强烈的运动感。在早期的西班牙音乐中，这种运动感体现在延长旋律的使用上，而在洛克的作品中，这种运动感则通过中心图像看似移动的网状形式表现出来。轻声踏上》通过使用一种主旋律姿态，自始至终缓慢但持续地转换，探索了 "静中有动 "的理念"

原文简介:
The inspiration for Tread Softly came from two contrasting sources: the religious music of early medieval Spain, and Debbie Locke’s work of art ‘Retracing Your Steps - Bristol I’. Although over a thousand years apart, these two sources share a common feature - a powerful sense of movement enclosed within a static form. In early Spanish music this manifests in the use of extended melisma, and in Locke’s work it is depicted through the seemingly moving, web-like form of the central image. Tread Softly explores the idea of movement within stasis through the use of a main melodic gesture that transforms very slowly, but constantly, throughout.
