Plainsongs for Peace and Light

《和平與光明的平原之歌》是喬納森-哈威的最後一部作品，以寧靜安詳為主。在這部作品中，哈威重新審視了自己創作的基本要素--疊加平原歌的線條，享受音符與音符之間的簡單碰撞，並通過對卡農的精心運用創造出豐富、超凡脫俗的音色。哈威是一位元始終擁抱並尋求最新音樂技術的作曲家，但無伴奏合唱團的簡約風格成為他一生的不變追求。保羅-康威（Paul Conway）在《Tempo》雜誌上撰文指出，這部作品 "低調但極富感染力，令人如癡如醉"。該作品為 SATB 混聲合唱，共 16 個聲部"

原文簡介:
Predominantly hushed and serene, Plainsongs for Peace and Light proved to be Jonathan Harvey’s final work. It sees Harvey re-examining the very fundamentals of his craft – superimposing lines of plainsong, relishing the simple clash of note against note and creating rich, otherworldly sonorities through an elaborate use of canon. Harvey was a composer who always embraced and sought-out the very latest in musical technologies but the simplicity of the a cappella choir became something of a constant to which he returned throughout his life. Writing in Tempo, Paul Conway noted this work’s ‘understated but extremely affecting, numinous power’. The piece is for mixed voices of SATB in 16 parts.
