秦川朝望迥,日出正東峰。
遠近山河淨,逶迤城闕重。
秋聲萬戶竹,寒色五陵松。
客有歸歟嘆,淒其霜露濃。

《望秦川》之書法作品 |
James Barnes |
"The finale (fourth movement) represents a rebirth of spirit, a reconciliation for us all. The second theme of the last movement is based on an old Lutheran children's hymn called "I am Jesus' Little Lamb.""
【譯文】第四樂章代表著精神的重生, 對我們所有人的一種調和。這個樂章的第二個主題來自一首古老路德教派的兒童聖歌"I am Jesus' Little Lamb"。
This hymn was sung at Natalie's funeral. The last stanza of the song reads:
【譯文】這首聖歌在 Natalie 的喪禮被唱誦。歌曲的最後一節如下:
Three days after I completed this symphony, on June 25, 1994, our son Billy Barnes was born. If the third movement is for Natalie, then the finale is really for Billy, and our joy in being blessed with him after the tragic death of his sister.
【譯文】在我寫完這首交響曲的三天後,也就是1994年的六月二十五日,我們的兒子 Billy Barnes 出生了。若第三樂章是寫給 Natalie 的,最後一個樂章就是獻給Billy,在他姊姊死亡的悲傷後與我們的喜樂一同被他的到來而祝福。
