Abstract
The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ has served as the source for innumerable musical creations spanning the centuries, including a colorful array of compositions inspired by The Seven Last Words of Christ. This musico-theological analysis is an attempt to describe how Part I of Pamela Decker’s epic work for solo organ, The Seven Last Words and Triumph of Christ, artfully communicates the power, depth, and beauty of Christ’s timeless words by way of pitch, rhythm, texture, registration, and use of pre-existing melody.
几个世纪以来,耶稣基督的生、死和复活一直是无数音乐创作的源泉,包括一系列受《基督最后的七句话》启发的丰富多彩的作品。这篇音乐神学分析试图描述帕梅拉·德克尔(Pamela Decker)为独奏风琴创作的史诗作品《最后的七句话和基督的胜利》(The Seven Last Words and Triumph of Christ)的第一部分是如何通过音高、节奏、织体、音域和对已有旋律的使用,巧妙地传达了基督永恒话语的力量、深度和美丽。
