奥古斯特·克莱因扎勒在其涵盖其职业生涯的诗集中,捕捉到了西方最伟大音乐的精髓。
在《西方音乐史》中,奥古斯特·克莱因扎勒以其富有节奏感、诙谐幽默、充满活力的风格,捕捉了伟大歌曲和艺术家们难以言喻的力量与美感,以及我们对它们产生强烈共鸣的感受。在这本诗集里,音乐与生活、与风景,以及我们通过音乐铭记的人物密不可分。
诗人栖居于音乐家的思想和环境中;他聆听着爱德蒙德·德·波利尼亚克公主沙龙里的琶音,并通过贝拉·巴托克聆听着蜂鸟的鸣叫。克莱因扎勒的诗歌不仅包含着与他所描写的作品相同的铿锵之美,还蕴含着我们与之相关的那些时刻的活力与复杂性——一个人人生的配乐如何由它所谱写的场景定义,反之亦然。
从约翰·柯川到安妮·莱诺克斯,从歌剧到比波普爵士乐以及其间所有的广告歌曲和旋律,《西方音乐史》描绘了音乐在人的生活中创造和包含的广泛意义和记忆。
In a career-spanning selection of poems, August Kleinzahler captures the essence of the West’s greatest music.
In A History of Western Music, August Kleinzahler’s rhythmic, wry, kinetic style captures the ineffable power and beauty of great songs and artists, as well as the potency of our response to them. In this collection, music is inextricable from life, from landscape, and from the people we remember through it.
The poet inhabits the minds and milieus of musicians; he hears arpeggios in the salon of Princesse Edmonde de Polignac and listens to the vibrations of a hummingbird through Béla Bartók. Kleinzahler’s verse not only contains the same sonorous beauty as the compositions he writes of but also the vitality and complexity of the moments we associate with them―the way the soundtrack of one’s life becomes defined by the scenes it scores, and vice versa.
From John Coltrane to Annie Lenox, from opera to bebop and all the jingles and melodies in between, A History of Western Music is a portrait of the vast range of meaning and memory that music creates and contains in one’s life.
