樂曲解說

關係一詞被定義為人和事件之間的紐帶或聯繫。 《關係》用於獨奏小號和樂團，包括作曲家詹姆斯·柯諾和教育家阿爾佛雷德·沃特金斯之間的幾務聯繫，該作品也是獻給阿爾佛雷德·沃特金斯的。這眾所周知的樂曲被演奏（特別是沃特金斯先生的學生），因為這首曲子呈現兩種主要的音樂背景——一個充滿活力和敏捷的諧謔曲，出現在開頭和結尾，與富有表現力的民謠主題形成鮮明對比。首演（和錄音）的獨奏者是阿爾佛雷德的兒子克里斯托弗沃特金斯。對於獨奏者和樂隊來說，這是一部精心製作且有益的作品。

The word nexus is defined as a tie or link between people and events. Nexus, for solo trumpet and band, includes several links between composer James Curnow and educator Alfred Watkins, to whom the work is dedicated. A well-known theme (particularly to Mr. Watkins’ students) is drawn upon as the piece utilizes two primary musical settings – an energetic and agile scherzo that appears in the beginning and again at the end, contrasted with an expressive Ballad theme. The soloist at the premiere (and on the recording) is Christopher Watkins, Alfred’s son. This is a well-crafted and rewarding work for soloist and band alike.
