| 解説 | ルチアーノ・チェザリーニによる追悼作品です。ブルガリア民俗舞曲のリズムと旋律を基に、アルフレッド・リードへの敬意を込めた力強くも哀愁を帯びた音楽が展開されます。複雑な拍子やリズム変化が特徴で、活気ある踊りの要素と叙情的な旋律が対比的に描かれます。演奏技術を要求しつつ、追悼の情感と民族的色彩を融合させた意欲作です。 (出版社のオリジナル解説） Bulgarian Dances is a free rhapsody， divided into four distinct movements based on famous Bulgarian folk songs. These songs have a very old tradition and stem from both the antique world of Byzantium and even earlier in the ancient and mysterious civilization of the Thrace region. In the beginning they were monodic songs， then diaphonic， with characteristic dissonances of major and minor seconds which make them unique. What also makes these songs so fascinating are seductive and complex irregular rhythms. The composer， while remaining faithful to the original spirit of the songs， has not hesitated to broaden the musical ideas， enriching them and making them more suitable to the rich palette of colours of contemporary concert bands. A terrific modern addition to the band repertoire. |
