Thus, ''Chant de Linos'' is based on the mythological musician Linus, who taught music to Orpheus and Heracles.〔 Jolivet described the work as an ancient Greek mourning chant consisting of laments interspersed with cries and dances.〔〔 In the work, the laments are usually in 5/4 while a strongly accented ostinato in 7/8 sets the dance sections apart.〔 The piece is based on an archaïc sounding modal scale (G, A flat, B, C sharp, D and F).〔 Although it is in one movement, it comprises several parts. After the improvisatory introduction, there are four main sections with variations, differing meters and tempos. They can be sketched as follows〔''André Jolivet's Chant de Linos (1944): A Sentential Analysis, Thesis by Bryan Arthur Guarnuccio, Graduate College of Bowling Green State University, August 2006. ()〕 *Section A – slow in 5/4 *Section B – moderate in 3/4 *Section C – fast in 7/8 *Section D – moderate in 7/8. The overall structure is AB A’B’ CD A’’B’’ C’.〔 The work displays a wide range of techniques including flutter-tonguing, extreme dynamic changes, and irregular phrases.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chant de Linos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
