歌剧《莎乐美》人物主导动机及其和声处理的戏剧表达

Dramatic Expression of the Leitmotifs of Characters and Their Harmonic Treatment in Salome

歌剧《莎乐美》是由德奥晚期浪漫派作曲家理查·施特劳斯创作的独幕歌剧,他创造性地继承了瓦格纳歌剧创作中的“主导动机”手法,从歌剧内容和人物性格特征出发,将剧中人物的主导动机在音高关联性、调性布局以及多样化的和声处理方面都进行了巧妙设计与组织,准确诠释了剧中的人物形象、人物关系和事件发展过程,与戏剧情节达成了高度契合,从而使人物主导动机及其和声处理对戏剧性的准确表达起到了重要作用。

The opera Salome is a one-act opera written by Richard Strauss,a composer of late Romantic period in German and Austria.He has creatively inherited the"leitmotif"method initiated by Richard Wagner.The leitmotifs of the characters are elaborately designed and organized from the aspects of the relevance of pitches,distribution of tonalities and diversified harmonic treatment,based on the context of the opera and the personality of the characters.The image of characters,their relationship and development of the stories are therefore precisely illustrated and highly matched with the plot,which in return make the leitmotifs and the harmonic treatment become important elements of a precise theatrical expression.
