Description

[Machine Translation] Jack Bodie ( 1944 ) is highly regarded as one of New Zealand's leading contemporary composers. Many of his works deal with current issues, including his opera "Alley," which is based on the life of the New Zealand social activist Leewi Alley. The aria sung by the elderly Alley, who has lived a life of physical exertion to improve the poor conditions he saw Chinese laborers working under, recalls his own youth, and is movingly sung with a Chinese twang. The aria "My Name is Mok Bong," inspired by the Cambodian genocide, and "Balarang," derived from Javanese gamelan music, will be sung by a female violinist from Japan. Meditation" is dedicated to a Japanese female violinist, and "Poems of solitary delights" is based on Japanese poet Akebonan Tachibana's "Dokuraku Gin," a collection of poems that begins with the words "The joy of music. All of them are exotic, mysterious and beautiful.

Description in Japanese

ジャック・ボディ: パララン-愛と戦争の歌 他 / ケネス・ヤング(指揮)/ニュージーランド交響楽団

ジャック・ボディ(1944)は現代ニュージーランドに於ける有数の作曲家の一人として高く評価されています。彼の作品は時事問題を扱ったものが多く、ここに収録されている歌劇「アレイ」も、ニュージーランドに実在した社会活動家レウィ・アレイの生涯を描いたものです。彼は劣悪な環境で働いていた中国の労働者の姿を見たことにより、それを改善すべく、体を張って生きてきた年老いたアレイが、自分の若い頃を思い起こして歌うアリアは、中国風の響きを纏いながら感動的に響きます。カンボジア虐殺からインスパイアされた「私の名前はモック・ボン」、ジャワのガムラン音楽から派生した「バララン」。日本の女性ヴァイオリニストに捧げられた「瞑想曲」そして日本の歌人、橘曙覧の「たのしみは」で始まる歌集「獨樂吟」を元にした「Poems of solitary delights」。どれも異国情緒溢れる神秘的で美しい作品です。
