| 解説 | ベルト・アッペルモントは吹奏楽や管弦楽作品で知られる現代オランダの作曲家です。本作は彼による吹奏楽作品で、聖マーガレットの受難と奇跡を描いたドラマティックな音楽が展開されます。荘厳で力強い旋律と劇的なリズムが特徴で管楽器群の掛け合いや豊かな和声により物語性と感情の深みを表現します。演奏会で聴衆に感動と緊張感を伝え、叙情的かつ壮麗な音楽世界を体感できる一曲です。 (出版社のオリジナル解説) This work was inspired by the 3rd/4th century legend of Margaret of Antioch. Margaret was very devout, and lived as a shepherdess in the countryside. When the city prefect Olybrius proposed to her, on the condition that she would give up her faith, she refused and was eventually put to death. To evoke the archaic early-medieval atmosphere, Bert Appermont has used two Gregorian Kyries. In addition, influences from old music (such as old modes and parallel fifths) and Carl Orff’s work are present. This four movement piece is an epic symphonic poem-like work with an incredible expressiveness and is ideal for a thematic concert or a contest. |
