知道這個拉托維亞作曲家Pelecis是在Kremer遠離家園專輯中的一首寫給小提琴鋼琴的協奏曲，是一個擅長寫美好旋律的作曲家。他的音樂也許不若許多現代作曲家繁瑣，但是卻十分動聽。

相對於同是三小國愛沙尼亞前輩作曲家Arvo Part，他的名氣明顯低上許多，但是相對於Part長於和聲的經營， Pelecis甜美的旋律更是會讓人感到喜悅。


GEORGS PELECIS COMMENTS:

Music is written for one of two main reason: either to make some intellectual address to the listener, or for the sake of music itself. I feel closer to the second. All my creative inspiration comes from music, the nation of euphony as an embodiment or reflection of the ideal. Aspiration to that ideal is the most important theme of my work.

My musical language and idioms are undoubtedly influenced by what I have learned and enjoyed of past musical culture, those expressions of melody, rhythm, harmony which follow a line from the ars nova of the 14th century, through the music of 17th century Italy, Germany, England and France, up to the music of our own time. Folklore also contributes to that fund of understanding.

There is nothing stylized - or even polystylistic - about my music. I have no clear sense of “old” or “contemporary”. For me, all great and irresistible music is simply the gleam of the ideal and represents the psychological drama of a mind confronting the unattainability of that ideal. To that extent, and though the inner circumstances are very different. I feel common cause with the Beethoven of the last sonatas.

The word “ideal” may even be too high-flown. It might be simpler to speak of the feelings of joy and delight which can be given by music. I give the title “All the Family is Singing” to my collection of songs, in order to give a sense of the joy of shared music-making.

I have no desire to stylize older music's, but simply to give life to music as a principle of euphony and to maintain it as long as possible. In that, I am “contemporary”, I think. In any case, the most attractive aspects of older music are usually the most transient, and the best themes in classical music are exhibited only briefly.

My favorite contemporary composers are Arvo Paert, Vladimir Martynov, Alexander Gugel… I also feel a kinship with minimalism and the repetitive style, particularly in the music or Steve Reich. However, such a superficial conception of musical beauty confuses me, and I’m disturbed by the pagan spell-weaving, and narcotic-schizophrenic persistence of musical material which are characteristic of minimalist works.

But I value the extension of musical time and beauty and would love to offer whole concert programs of works. This is not jealousy or fear of competition. It is simply important to recognize that at a concert, a listener’s feelings, far from being confronted by an indivisible aesthetics or united intention, are conditioned from moment to moment by a different creator’s point of view. During the concert, the voices of different works and thus different composers mustn’t be allowed to crowed out or smother one another.

十九世紀末二十世紀初的英國，突然湧出了好幾位世界級的作曲家，在先後愛爾加與布列頓的萬丈光芒之下，還有許多許多，包括：霍斯特、華爾頓、佛漢威廉斯、巴克斯(Bax)......等等。一定有許多人覺得如此說有公允，但似乎事實仍是如此。不過在他們之間，藏有許多美好的寶藏等待愛樂者挖寶，而不是只有吹管樂的而已，其中華爾頓的第一號交響曲則是我愛不釋手的作品，會瘋起來的一首交響曲。 ...繼續閱讀
