Preview: 'A Prussian Requiem' from Hubris: Choral Works by John Powell
The haunting, wordless keens of despair that overtake the oratorio’s heartbreaking final passage, “The Gift,” are set to its opening melody, time-stretched from march to dirge.
Taken altogether, “A Prussian Requiem” represents Powell’s explorations of European classical romanticism from “La Belle Époque” that the First World War brought to an end to the minimalism and atonalism of today – from Maurice Ravel to Philip Glass, Claude Debussy to John Adams. But it also represents his determination to find new, more accessible vocabularies for contemporary classical music.
映画音楽家ジョン・パウエルによる純クラシック風声楽集。『プロイセンへのレクイエム』は、第一次世界大戦の開戦100周年を記念して嘱託されたもの。ワーグナーからペルト、ヴァスクスにも似たアプローチが散見される。
