麻豆约拍

P盲rt was a great admirer of Benjamin Britten and was shocked when Britten died aged 63 in 1976: less than a year later this piece received its premiere. The music is like a slow cascade of tears, with strings from their highest note to the double bass's lowest 'weeping' for Britten's death. At the end we hear .... a distant bell.
