与韩德尔的《弥赛亚》和英国的《战争安魂曲》一样,埃尔加的《格隆休斯的梦》是英国最重要的音乐作品之一。这部由最近被神化的英国神学家和诗人约翰·亨利·纽曼撰写的强有力的文本讲述了一个垂死的人,他的生命行为正在上帝面前被调查。在音乐中,埃尔加以一种动人的方式将英国的优雅与瓦格纳的细节相结合。

Together with Handel's Messiah and Britain's War Requiem
, Elgar's Gerontius's dream is one of the most important British musical
works written. The strong text, written by the recently sanctified
English theologian and poet John Henry Newman, tells of a dying man
whose life's actions are being investigated before God. Elgar in the
music combines British elegance with Wagnerian detail in a touching way.

音乐历史上的今天
1900年8月13日,“这是我最美好的一面;至于其他,我吃饭、喝水、睡觉、恋爱、憎恨、同别人一样;我的生活曾经像蒸汽,而现在不同了。但是‘这个’,我看见并且了解;若我有什么值得你们怀念,便是这个。”埃尔加结束了《吉隆修斯之梦》(The
Dream of Gerontius)。
爱德华·埃尔加(Edward
Elgar,1857年-1934年),英国作曲家、指挥家,1857年6月2日在伍斯特郡莫尔文希尔斯区布罗德希思出生。他父亲是一个乐器店店主兼圣乔治教堂管风琴乐手。埃尔加成长在浓厚的音乐环境中。但主要靠自学,15岁的时候他想去德国莱比锡留学学习音乐,但是由于经费不够,只好在他父亲的商店工作,并参加了社区的一个音乐俱乐部,在乐队里当小提琴乐手。1885年继承父职任教堂管风琴师。在他29岁的时候,他认识了大他8岁的前市长亨利·罗伯兹爵士的女儿爱丽丝,3年之后两人结婚。在妻子的鼓励和疏通下,埃尔加集中精力进行音乐创作,1890年,以序曲《弗鲁瓦萨尔》引起人们的注意。并搬到伦敦发展,进入音乐圈子。但是初期并不成功。不久因为健康原因又返回家乡。
直到埃尔加将近40岁的时候,他才有了一些作曲家的名气。他为地方音乐节谱写音乐,并逐渐被人重视。1899年在他42岁的时候,他的第一部交响乐作品《谜语变奏曲》获得出版,并在伦敦由德国指挥家Hans
Richter指挥首演,获得成功。1900年他又创作了清唱剧《杰龙修斯之梦》(根据红衣主教约翰·亨利·纽曼的诗词谱曲)。这两部作品被誉为英国音乐开始复兴的标志。1901年他创作了他的5首《威仪堂堂进行曲》的第一首(最后一首创作于1930年),好评如潮,英国国王和王后也出席他的音乐会。这奠定了他作为当时英国最成功作曲家的声誉。此后他又写了序曲《在伦敦城中》(1901)、清唱剧《基督使徒》(1903)和《王国》(1906)等一系列作品。1902年到1914年之间,他四次访问美国。1904年他获得爵士称号。1905年到1908年他在伯明翰大学任教。1908年他的《第一交响曲》一年之内演出了一百场。1911年他的《第二交响曲》上演,同年他获得功绩勋章,此后专注于大型器乐曲的创作。如
《小提琴协奏曲》(1910)、交响练习曲《福斯塔夫》(1913)、《大提琴协奏曲》(1919)等。1912年他又搬到伦敦居住。1920年后,由于妻子去世,很少有重要创作。1924年被封为英王御前音乐教师。1931年成为从男爵。1934年2月23日卒于伍斯特。

Today in the
history of music
August 13, 1900, "This is the best of me;As for the rest, I eat, drink,
sleep, love, hate, and be like other men;My life used to be like steam,
but it's different now.But 'this', I see and understand;If there's one
thing you'll miss about me, it's this."Mr. Elga ended 'The Dream of
Gerontius.
Edward Elgar (1857 -- 1934) was an English composer and conductor. He
was born on June 2, 1857, at Broad Heath in Malvern Hills,
Worcestershire.His father was a music shop owner and organist at St.
George's church.Elga grew up in a heavy musical environment.At the age
of 15, he wanted to study music in Leipzig, Germany. However, due to
lack of funds, he had to work in his father's shop and joined a music
club in his community, where he played the violin in the band.He
succeeded his father as church organist in 1885.At the age of 29, he met
Alice, the daughter of Sir Henry Roberts, a former mayor eight years his
senior, and they married three years later.Encouraged and encouraged by
his wife, Elgar concentrated on his music and in 1890 came to attention
with the overture Frouisar.He moved to London and moved into music.But
the early days were not successful.He soon returned to his hometown for
health reasons.
It was not until elgar was nearly forty that he became famous as a
composer.He wrote music for local festivals and was gradually taken
seriously.In 1899, at the age of 42, his first symphonic work,
Variations on a Riddle, was published and premiered in London by the
German conductor Hans Richter.In 1900 he wrote the oratorio The Dream of
Geronsius (based on the poetry of Cardinal John Henry Newman).These two
works have been hailed as the beginning of a Renaissance in British
music.In 1901 he composed the first of his five grand Marches (the last
of which was written in 1930) to rave reviews, and the King and Queen of
England attended his concerts.This established his reputation as one of
the most successful British composers of his time.He then wrote the
overture In the City of London (1901), the oratorio The Apostle of
Christ (1903) and the Kingdom (1906).He visited the United States four
times between 1902 and 1914.He was knighted in 1904.He taught at the
University of Birmingham from 1905 to 1908.In 1908 his Symphony No. 1
was given a hundred performances in one year.His Second Symphony was

from then on he concentrated on large instrumental pieces.For example,
violin Concerto (1910), symphonic etude Falstaff (1913), Cello Concerto
(1919) and so on.He moved to London again in 1912.After 1920, due to the
death of his wife, there were few important works.In 1924, he was
appointed music teacher of the King of England.He became a baronet in
1931.He died in Worcester on 23 February 1934.

埃尔加清唱剧《杰龙修斯之梦》 |
|
|
|

埃尔加(Edward
Elgar,1857-1934)是19世纪末20世纪初英国著名作曲家。其作品风格大体属于晚期浪漫派,有多部器乐,声乐作品传世。清唱剧《杰隆修斯之梦》是埃尔加最著名的声乐作品之一。
这部清唱剧以神学家兼诗人约翰·亨利·纽曼(John Henry
Newman,1801-1890)的一首同名长诗为歌词。纽曼是英格兰人,原在英国国教任职;后皈依罗马天主教,并逐渐成为一名红衣主教。其长诗是用英语写成。作品表达了一个叫杰隆修斯的人在临终时进入梦境,梦见其灵魂远行,碰到了天使,也遇到了魔鬼。当他面临最后的审判时,他是带着得救的希望离开的。原诗发表于1865年,并受到好评。
埃尔加的这部清唱剧是为一位男高音,一位女中音,一或两位男低音独唱,两个合唱队和一个大型管弦乐队而作。由男高音演唱杰隆修斯,女中音演唱天使,男低音演唱神父及另一位痛苦的天使。尽管作曲家本人并不喜欢“清唱剧”这个标签,但后世根据作品的总特点,还是把她归为清唱剧。作品于1900年在伯明翰市政厅首演,以后逐渐成为二十世纪经典的合唱作品之一。
作品由下列两大部分共十三个分段组成:
第一部分(Part I):
1. 序曲(Prelude);
2. 耶稣,玛丽亚 – 我快要死了(Jesu, Maria – I am near to death);
3. 唤醒你,我那昏厥的灵魂(Rouse thee, my fainting soul);
4. 神圣强大的神(Sanctus fortis, sanctus Deus);
5. 开始基督徒的生活(Proficiscere, anima Christiana);
第二部分(Part II):
1. 我去睡了(I went to sleep);
2. 那个家族的一个成员(It is a member of that family);
3. 但是你听!我感到激烈的喧嚣(But hark! upon my sense comes a fierce hubbub);
4. 我看到的不是那些假精灵(I see not those false spirits);
5. 但是你听!盛大而神秘的和谐(But hark! a grand mysterious harmony);
6. 你的审判正在临近(Thy judgment now is near);
7. 我要在审判之前走(I go before my judge);
8. 轻轻而明确地赎回的灵魂(Softly and gently, dearly-ransomed soul)。
与通常的清唱剧不同的是,两大部分之内的分段之间没有明显的休止。全曲用时约95分钟。
这部清唱剧的主角无疑是男高音演唱的杰隆修斯,他的唱段很多,并充满了戏剧性的变化和起伏,表达了主人公内心的矛盾,痛苦,及最后的解脱。而女中音和男低音分别演唱的天使和神父像是重要的配角,他们和主角之间有不同的呼应及对唱,重唱等。合唱队更多是配合几位独唱,营造并烘托相应情节和气氛。
在我们这个“合唱经典”的系列里,前面已经欣赏了不同历史时期的多部清唱剧,都是宗教题材,包括巴洛克时期巴赫的《圣诞节》,亨德尔的《弥赛亚》;古典主义时期海顿的《创世纪》;以及浪漫主义早期门德尔松的《以利亚》。这次欣赏的埃尔加的《杰隆修斯之梦》与前面欣赏过的这些清唱剧最明显的不同是其晚期浪漫派的音乐风格,简单概括地说,就是感情表达更为强烈,夸张;音乐的强弱起伏更大;速度的变化更多;调性的变化更频繁;和声的“色彩”更丰富,等等。当然这些都是超级概括,实际作品的细节是丰富多彩,变化万千的,需要仔细聆听,仔细感受。 |

Till
Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche |
|
|
|

This
symphonic poem was written in 1894.Thiel Alan Spiegel is also a
real historical figure.The story is in the author's anonymous
book tyre Allen Spiegel in Brunswick, which is very popular in
Europe.The 19th century saw the return of a new book, entitled
The Legend of Tyre And Lamgoldchuk, which turned the mischievous
Alan Spiegel into a 16th century Flemish hero.It was first
performed in 1895.Beginning with "Jovially", the violins play
"Once upon a time, there was a prankster", the horn plays the
theme "He called the Funny Till", and the oboe, clarinet and
bassoon enhance to a peak.As the orchestra played, the clarinet
played the happy "bogeyman" in Thiel's position.Then Thiel goes
on adventures, with a brisk trot after mischief spots. "He seems
to have thought of a trick, and, in disguise, tiptoes forward
again.Then to show the market, Thiel rode into the market,
causing chaos, women and children screaming and running away,
swinging his whip from left to right ", and then "wearing fairy
tale shoes that can walk seven miles with one step" to escape,
hide, peeking out mischief.Then, in his friar's garb, Thiel
talks about morality, clarinet, violin, then horn, trumpet,
violin, to show his uneasiness in talking about morality.The
rapidity of the solo violin, The Thiel's motive, suggests that
Thiel wants to dispel this uneasiness, and the clarinet is the
Thiel's theme, which means "The horseman Didion, courteously
gallant to the fair lady."Thiel fell in love with one of the
beauties and offered to marry her, but she refused.The brass
became a declaration of thiel's determination to "take revenge
on all mankind" after his rejection.The clarinet and rend
scholars, whom Thiel posed complicated questions, the woodwind
Canon presented polemical questions, the scholars argued, and
Thiel turned away from them in disgust, singing pop songs
cheerfully.In the development part, it shows that Thiel finds
fun in various pranks, and finally only little drum shows that
he does all kinds of immoral things, and is finally arrested for
absurd cruelty.The serious motive showed that he was brought to
trial, but he still whistled contempt. When sentenced to death,
the motive of death was strengthened, and Thiel went trembling
to the gallows.As the music comes to an end, a happy opening
melody suddenly reappears, indicating that Thiel's life is over,
but that his mischief lives on in such stories as "a long, long
time ago," culminating in a Thiel theme. |
