王郁馨聲樂演唱會(含輔助文件: 羅倫《和平之詩》作品研究與詮釋探討)

Abstract

本文乃針對筆者畢業音樂會所演唱的曲目—羅倫之《和平之詩》作樂曲分析及演唱詮釋方面的探討。被《時代》雜誌譽為「世界最佳之藝術歌曲作曲家」的羅倫，是當代傑出的美國作曲家及作家，作品涵蓋很廣，其中歌曲作品數量更多達五百多首，歌曲作品中亦富涵濃厚的法國風味。《和平之詩》是羅倫於1953年旅居巴黎時所寫的，歌詞選自十五和十六世紀的法文詩，在這組作品中探索法國戰爭與和平的議題，主題及音樂創作手法皆是非常具有法國特性的，是為中音所寫的一組的聯篇歌曲，亦是羅倫歌曲中罕見的法文歌曲。本文將藉由演唱詮釋的分析與探討，了解羅倫如何展現他的作曲理念與手法，將法國詩歌的精神傳達出來，不但希冀對於個人的演唱表現有所精進與助益，同時也為研究羅倫藝術歌曲者提供參考資料。此聯篇歌曲並非音樂會的常見曲目，因此希望藉此題目的研究，使國人對其創作手法及風格有正確的認知，並予以羅倫的法文歌曲獲得應有的重視。

This study aims to analyze and interprete Ned Rorem’s work Poémes pour la paix demonstrated by the author in her graduate concert. Honored as “the world’s best composer of art songs” by《Times》, Rorem is a remarkable American music composer and writer. Rorem has composed more than 500 vocal works. General audience can easily appreciate the French style in many of his works. Poémes pour la paix was written in 1953 while Rorem had his sojourn in Paris, the lyrics were selected from French poetry of the 15th and 16th century, with a consistent theme of war and peace. The selection of French poetry is uncommon in Rorem’s works, for he is usually devoted to English literature. This work, written for medium voice, is thought-provoking in both content and compostional style. The analysis of this work was done in hope of providing understanding for singers and future researchers interested in Rorem’s works. May hap, this study will pique more interests of audiences interested in Rorem’s French works.
