The Four Noble Truths are the most basic expression of the teaching of Buddha and therefore still form the guidelines for Buddhists to this day. The four truths are Dukkha, which describes times of major stress in our lives - birth, aging, desire and death; Samudaya which describes those parts of our life that induce stress, feeling, craving, desire; Nirodha which tells us how to eliminate those aspects of our lives which induce stress and Magga which describes the eight didciplines which can help us eliminate the origins of stress from our lives. It can be seen from these over-simplified definitions, that the Four Noble Truths fall into two pairs, the first two describingthe origins of stress and the second two describing how we can reduce stress. To reflect this, the four movements of this work are also combined into two pairs - two quick movements and two slow movements. A fascinating work from this great English composer.

De kern van de leer van Boeddha ligt in The Four Noble Truths (de vier edele waarheden: Dukkha, Samudaya, Nirodha en Magga) - ze vormen de leidraad voor boeddhisten. Deze vier edele waarheden vallen in twee paren uiteen: de eerstetwee beschrijven de oorzaken van lijden en de volgende twee geven aan hoe we het lijden kunnen tegengaan. Om dit te weerspiegelen heeft Philip Sparke de vier delen van deze compositie ook gecombineerd in twee paren - twee snelledelen en twee langzame delen.

In The Four Noble Truths ('Die vier edlen Wahrheiten') hat sich Philip Sparke mit den vier Grundbegriffen der Lehre Buddhas befasst und sie in ein eindrucksvolles viersatziges Werk umgesetzt. Die Einteilung der Begriffe in zwei Paare - die Ursachen und die Reduzierung von Belastungen im Leben eines jeden Menschen beschreibend - spiegelt sich in zwei schnellen und zwei langsamen Satze wider. Lassen Sie sich auf dieses faszinierende Werk des grossen englischen Komponisten ein!
