O Magnum Mysterium Brass Ensemble 啊偉大的神跡銅管

程式說明 "O Magnum Mysterium》是馬歇爾-拉特（Marshall Rutter）為紀念妻子特裡-諾爾斯（Terry Knowles）而委約創作的，自 1994 年由洛杉磯合唱大師合唱團首演以來，已在世界各地演出數千場，並錄製了數十張唱片。我還為獨唱、鋼琴或管風琴（由簡-索恩葛籣在作曲家伴奏下錄製在《西北之旅》上）、男子合唱團和銅管樂團改編了這部作品；羅伯特-雷諾德（H. Robert Reynold）為交響管樂改編的這部令人驚歎的作品最近由桑頓管樂交響樂團在明尼阿波利斯首演。幾個世紀以來，作曲家們一直從《O Magnum Mysterium》這首優美的樂曲中汲取靈感，這首樂曲描繪了新生的國王在卑微的動物和牧羊人中間誕生的情景。在我的這首作品中，上帝對溫順者的恩典和對聖母的崇拜得到了肯定，並通過一首寧靜的歌曲表達了內心深處的喜悅。- 莫頓-勞裡

原文簡介:
Program Notes: “O Magnum Mysterium,” commissioned by Marshall Rutter in honor of his wife, Terry Knowles, has had several thousand performances throughout the world and dozens of recordings since its 1994 premiere by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. I have also arranged the work for solo voice and piano or organ (recorded on Northwest Journey by Jane Thorngren accompanied by the composer), men's chorus and brass ensemble; H. Robert Reynold's stunning adaptation for symphonic winds was recently premiered in Minneapolis by the Thornton Wind Symphony. For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium text depicting the birth of the new-born King amongst the lowly animals and shepherds. This affirmation of God's grace to the meek and the adoration ofthe Blessed Virgin are celebrated in my setting through a quiet song of profound inner joy. - Morten Lauridsen
