''The Cook The Thief His Wife & Her Lover'' is the twelfth album release by Michael Nyman and the ninth to feature the Michael Nyman Band. It is the soundtrack to the eponymous film by Peter Greenaway. The album includes the first commercially released recording of ''Memorial'' (Greenaway heard a radio recording of the original performance that has not been commercially released), and this is the only piece discussed in the liner notes, to the point that the lyric sheet for "Miserere" (based on Psalm 51), the song which Pup the kitchen boy sings, is misidentified "Memorial." "Book Depository" is one of Nyman's many waltzes. Nyman does not here identify the origin of ''Memorial'' as a bass ground from Henry Purcell's ''King Arthur'', but he does so elsewhere, including on ''After Extra Time''. The liner notes primarily note the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster that occurred during the work's composition and became what the work was about and a discussion of the premiere of the work in a disused nuclear power plant in Yainville before Paul Richards's painting, ''The Kiss'', and its ultimate "dismantling," preventing it from being used to commemorate the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. There is some music in the film that is not included on the soundtrack album: the love theme for Michael and Georgina, which is "Fish Beach" from ''Drowning by Numbers'', the song ("Something Sometime Soon") performed as a show in the restaurant, or a doubly pulsed variation of ''Memorial'' that occurs about halfway through the film. Edits of "Memorial" appear throughout the film, with the entire twelve minute movement accompanying the final scene and end credits, but one variation is uniquely created for the film. ==Track listing== # "Memorial" – 12:07 # "Miserere Paraphrase" – 5:44 # "Book Depository" – 5:41 # "Coupling" – 5:17 # "Miserere" – 11:32 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「The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (soundtrack)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
