Description

[Machine Translation] This popular series introducing the latest American wind band works features works by three composers: Schwantner, a Pulitzer Prize winner, Maslanka, who is very popular in Japan, and Bryant, who studied composition with Corigliano. Schwantner's "Luminosity" is a title that refers to the luminosity of a celestial body. In order to show the brightness of light in sound, percussion and piano are placed at the front of the stage, with brass and woodwinds behind them, creating a rich and vivid instrumentation. Maslanka's "Hosanna" is based on a chorale by J.S. Bach, to which he added his own expression. The work is diverse, including quotations from his own compositions. Bryant's music is known for its high performance quality and its unique flavor, with its bold use of dissonance and shimmering lyricism. The Logic of All Dreams" is part of a larger series, "The Alchemy of Quiet Places," which also includes piano and percussion for an exuberant sound.

Description in Japanese

ALCHEMIZE-錬金術 吹奏楽のための音楽 / キャサリン・A・ランド(指揮)/南ミシシッピ大学ウィンド・アンサンブル

アメリカの吹奏楽最新作を紹介する人気シリーズ、今アルバムにはピューリッツァー賞受賞者シュワントナーと、日本でも高い人気を誇るマスランカ、コリリアーノに作曲を学んだブライアントの3人の作品を収録している。シュワントナーの「ルミノシティ」は天体の光度の意味を持つタイトル。"光の明るさ"を音で示すために、打楽器とピアノがステージ前部に配置され、その後ろに金管、木管楽器が並ぶ目にも鮮やかな楽器編成を取り、豊かな響きがもたらされている。マスランカの「ホザンナ」はJ.S.バッハのコラールを元に、彼自身の表現を加えたというもの。自作からの引用も含めた多彩な作品。ブライアントの音楽は高いパフォーマンス性で知られ、不協和音を大胆に配しながらも煌めく抒情性が感じられるユニークな味わいを持っている。この「全ての夢のロジック」は大規模な連作「静かな場所の錬金術」の中の1曲で、ピアノ、パーカッションなども駆使した華やかな響きが楽しい作品。
