序
誰的手劃破一切,誰的心流淌着一片腥紅。鮮艷如紅碩花朵,直到有天指尖輕碰竟像重新撫摸一個春天。刺戳與撫平,如同踟躕和流動,或是游離和歸宿之間,我們總是迷失而後抵達。
所有千迴百轉,由零碎交織當下,牽引過去,延伸無限。因為我們要是能靠近作為與不作為之間的距離,或許自能在禱文的句末,瞥見燈塔上一絲救贖的靈光。從彼方也從自己雙手築起避難所,重新俯拾,以年月轉念來修復那曾以為無法癒合的傷口。
OVERVIEW
NOĒMA proudly presents its second headline concert, ‘Those Wounds in the Midst’. It will feature the Hong Kong premiere of To the Hands, a composition by the acclaimed young American composer Caroline Shaw, recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in Music and multiple Grammy awards. Shaw crafted this piece as a direct response to Ad manus from Buxtehude’s 17th-century masterpiece Membra Jesu nostri.
At its core, Shaw’s composition poses the poignant question, ‘What are those wounds in the midst of your hands?’ This motif links the two works, guiding our exploration throughout the programme. Contemporary composers draw inspiration from Renaissance masters, crafting new pieces that dialogue with existing polyphonic writings. Through this juxtaposition of musical interpretations of shared texts, we delve into the concepts of ‘hand’ (representing action) and ‘wound’ (representing consequence). The ‘hand’ also symbolises acceptance, resonating in the texts of In manus tuas and Infelix ego. NOĒMA will be joined by the Cong Quartet in presenting these intertwined themes, promising an enriching evening of music and contemplation.
