复杂的单音——读秦文琛的交响诗《五月的圣途》有感

Complicated Note - Thoughts on Qin Wenchen’s Symphonic Poem Pilgrimage of May

本文从D音出发,探讨了脚步、祈祷、膜拜、命运、合唱以及由它们的展开所形成的光芒、火等七个主题的渊源、发展和它们之间的相生关系,并揭示了与中国传统音乐结构中层层推进的方法及李斯特交响诗中主题变形技法的相通之处。作者独具匠心的处理,既获得了作品所要求的叙事性,又避免了较明显的“西方味”的结构感。

Starting from the note D, the author tackles such elements as steps, prayers, worships, destinies, chorus and the light and fire shed by their development, concentrating on the seven themes’ origins, developments and their mutual derivative relations.
