Abstract
回顧筆者十幾年學習揚琴的歷程，發現早期演奏的曲目多為大陸的作品，臺灣的作品相對較少，直到近幾年揚琴在臺灣迅速發展，原創揚琴作品開始受到重視，多位優秀的臺灣青年作曲家紛紛投入創作，並嘗試將在地所得的文化素材融入創作中，這也使筆者對臺灣當代揚琴作品產生興趣，進而促成此次研究。本篇以林心蘋《稻香情》與任重《天黑了》做為研究主題，希望透過筆者自身所學的專業，對作品的創作手法及理念進行探究，提出符合作曲家原意，又不失個人演奏想法的最佳詮釋。關於本文研究之相關文獻，目前已蒐集到多篇論文，文中也針對林心蘋與任重的音樂學習及創作歷程進行過研究；另外，關於樂曲素材之相關文獻，也蒐集到多本書籍、期刊、論文及網路資料，內容針對《稻香情》與《天黑了》創作時所用素材，包含了卑南族作曲家陸森寶與他的作品《美麗的稻穗》、作曲家林福裕與他的童歌作品《天黑黑欲落雨》，以及爵士音樂風格特點之所有素材相關文獻。透過蒐集來的文獻及訪談作曲家所得資料進行歸納整理與分析，協助筆者理解作曲家創作手法與理念，並以演奏者角度做樂曲詮釋探討。研究結果顯示，林心蘋為擅長以故事畫面創作的作曲家，在《稻香情》中她利用旋律來鋪陳，描繪出戰場中士兵思念故鄉之情及打仗時忐忑不安的情緒；而任重擅長將臺灣童歌與民謠做改編創作，這首《天黑了》結合了臺灣童歌《天黑黑欲落雨》旋律與爵士音樂的特點元素，形成兼具臺灣文化及爵士風格的創新作品。在詮釋演奏上，林心蘋本身具備揚琴演奏能力，她將自身經驗套入創作中，使《稻香情》有較多揚琴技術上的難度；而《天黑了》相對較無過多專業演奏技巧的問題，但也需費心思鑽研如何詮釋出樂曲中爵士風格特點，因此兩首作品也分別有著不同的困難之處需克服。
The nature of Chinese music, in particular Yangqin (Hammering string instrument originated in Chinese music) literature development, most of the compositions and standard repertoire originated in Mainland China (China). Until the last decade, local Taiwanese composers started to focus on expanding the Yangqin repertoire carried by the rising popularity in Yangqin society in Taiwan.This is a study of two original repertoire composed by local Taiwanese composers written for Yangqin, correspondingly “The Remembrance of Rice Scent” by Hsin-Pin Lin and “Dark Sky” by Zhong Ren. Particular attention is paid to analyzing and examining the compositional skill both composers applied and introducing how, taken together, the author’s interpretation as a performer answering the skeleton idea from each composer in a musically legitimate way.Multi-approaches research was held to study composer’s music learning and composing background. Reference taken from books, articles, dissertations and online sources, in order to review the inspirational materials implied to the repertoire, which involved additional repertoire “Beautiful Rice Ear” by Sen-Bao Lu with his strong indigenous Puyuma cultural heritage, folk song “The Cloudy Dark Sky” by Fu-Yu Lin, jazz music characteristics and style.The analysis revealed two distinct approaches taken by each composer. The compositional style of Hsin-Pin Lin is identified as visual depiction oriented. Melodies and musical settings in “The Remembrance of Rice Scent” depicted a miserable scene in warfare from a viewpoint of a soldier in homesick suffering. In addition to implying the composer’s own Yangqin performance insight, the technical level is comparatively more demanding in this musical example. Zhong Ren emphasized on experimenting musical style by matching Taiwanese folk tunes and jazz music characteristics in “Dark Sky”, which created a successful example of localized jazz composition that emerged in Chinese music settings. Performers should articulate the jazz influence and style for the purpose of replicating the authentic compositional idea.
