Sonya's Lullaby 搖籃曲

Lullaby（搖籃曲）'這個詞的意思是催人入睡的咒語"，奧利弗-克努森在其 6 分鐘精緻鋼琴曲《索尼婭的搖籃曲》的曲目說明中解釋道。索尼婭是我的女兒，1977 年 10 月寫下這首曲子的第一張草圖時，她才四個月大，正患有失眠症。 從形式上講，我希望這首曲子不言自明--但也許值得一提的一點是，勃拉姆斯、斯克裡亞賓、科普蘭和卡特等作曲家對樂器最低音區產生的泛音的和聲利用，對鋼琴寫作產生了最初的刺激。 索尼婭的搖籃曲》構成了克努森室內樂作品三部曲的中心板塊，該三部曲還包括為小提琴和鋼琴創作的《秋天》，以及為雙簧管和絃樂三重奏創作的《康塔塔》"

原文簡介:
‘The word Lullaby is used in the sense of an incantation to sleep’ explains Oliver Knussen in a programme note for his exquisite 6-minute piano piece Sonya’s Lullaby. ‘Sonya is my daughter, who was a four-month-old insomniac in October 1977 when the first sketch of this piece was written. Formally the music is, I hope, self-explanatory – but perhaps it is worth mentioning that an initials stimulus toward the piano writing was the harmonic exploitation of overtones produced from the lowest register of the instrument by composers as diverse as Brahms, Scriabin, Copland and Carter.’ Sonya’s Lullaby forms the central panel of Knussen’s triptych of chamber works which also includes Autumnal for violin and piano, and Cantata for oboe and string trio.
