曼彻斯特作曲家David Önaç创作了新作《大西洋安魂曲》，将历史保险文件与天主教礼仪及奴隶制见证相结合，以纪念在大西洋奴隶贸易中丧生的被奴役非洲人。1这部时长40分钟的五乐章作品融合了当代古典音乐、爵士乐、福音音乐及大西洋两岸传统音乐元素。1作品的创作灵感来自劳埃德保险公司的历史文件，以及1791年Polly号帆船上的一起事件——一名被怀疑患天花的被奴役妇女被绑在椅子上、塞嘴后被船长下令扔入海中。1
《大西洋安魂曲》由文化遗产慈善机构Culture&委托创作，劳埃德保险公司提供赞助。1作品将在伦敦LSO St Luke's音乐厅进行首演，由伦敦交响乐团和BBC歌手团演出，格莱美奖获得者指挥家Malcolm J Merriweather执棒。1
Manchester-based composer David Önaç has created a new work titled Atlantic Requiem that combines historical insurance documents with Catholic liturgy and testimonies of slavery to commemorate Africans who died in the transatlantic slave trade.1 The forty-minute, five-movement composition will have its premiere on Sunday at LSO St Luke's concert hall in London, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and BBC Singers under Grammy Award-winning conductor Malcolm J Merriweather.1
The work draws inspiration from Lloyd's of London insurance records and eyewitness accounts from 1791, including testimony about an enslaved African woman who was suspected of having smallpox, bound to a chair, gagged, and thrown overboard by the captain of the slave ship Polly.1 Önaç's composition weaves together contemporary classical music, jazz, gospel, and musical traditions from both sides of the Atlantic.1 The piece was commissioned by Culture&, a cultural heritage charity, and is supported by Lloyd's insurance company.1
