Descend to Earth 彼得版

英國作曲家肯-伯頓（Ken Burton）被 18 世紀奴隸和作家菲利斯-惠特利（Phyllis Wheatley）的詩歌所吸引，創作了他的作品《降臨大地》（Descend to Earth）。2020 年大流行病和種族壓迫的雙重困擾與惠特利簡潔的詩歌產生了共鳴，詩歌的開頭讓人想起耶誕節/假日的季節。這首為 SSAATTBB 無伴奏合唱團和男中音獨唱而作的作品將在許多主題各異的節目中佔有一席之地。這是受 VOCES8 委託為其 2020 年的 "倫敦現場 "音樂節創作的，並由他們與男中音羅德里克-威廉姆斯合作首演

原文簡介:
British composer Ken Burton was drawn to the poetry of 18th-century slave and writer Phyllis Wheatley for his piece Descend to Earth. The dual troubles of pandemic and racial oppression in 2020 resonate with Wheatley’s concise poem, the start of which recalls the Christmas/Holiday season. Written for SSAATTBB unaccompanied choir plus baritone solo, Descend to Earth will have a place in many programs with varied themes. It was commissioned by VOCES8 for their LIVE From London festival in 2020 and premiered by them with baritone Roderick Williams.
