Wooden Miniatures Woodwind Quintet 木管五重奏 木管乐器

Wooden Miniatures》是华盛顿州立大学为纪念该校图书馆扩建而委托创作的。大部分作曲工作是在 1994 年 4 月和 5 月完成的。这部作品献给了Solstice管乐五重奏，他们在1994年8月图书馆扩建落成典礼上进行了首演。由于该作品是为庆祝仪式而创作的，因此我们的目标是创作出积极向上的音乐。由于演出时间有限，有必要压缩一些音乐思想。我们的目标是创作出一首既有完整作品的感觉，又短小精悍的乐曲。木制小品》分为三个乐章：I. 《桃花心木做的》色彩明快绚丽；II.柚木大象》更多的是忧郁和反思；III.黄杨木制成》以进行曲式的赋格开始，随后是第一乐章的素材。标题是一个文字游戏。这三首木管小品可归类为 "木制小品"，但随后我开始联想到图书馆，尤其是个人图书馆，以及书架上不时出现的木雕人像和书挡，这让我想起了我祖父在他的图书馆里收藏的木制大象。(华盛顿州普尔曼，GWY）

原文简介:
Wooden Miniatures was commissioned by Washington State University in commemoration of the WSU Library Addition. Most of the compositional work was done in April and May of 1994. The work is dedicated to the Solstice Wind Quintet and they presented the premiere performance at the dedication of the Library Addition in August of 1994. Since the work was composed for a ceremonial occasion, the goal was to create positive and uplifting music. Since the time frame available for the performance was somewhat limited, it was necessary to condense some of the musical ideas. The goal was to create a piece which had the feeling of a complete work, yet was short and concise. Wooden Miniatures is in three movements: I. Made of Mahogany features brilliant, sprightly colors; II. Teak Elephants is more melancholy and reflective; and III. Fashioned from Boxwood begins with a march-like fugato followed by a return of material from the first movement. The title is a play on words. Three short pieces featuring woodwinds can be categorized as “Wooden Miniatures”, but then I began to think about libraries, especially personal libraries and the carved wooden figures and bookends sometimes found on the shelves, and I was reminded of the wooden elephants which my grandfather kept in his library.
