旋律与“音乐的灵魂”

Melody and "Soul of Music"

本文认为:旋律是最具体的"抽象的具象"、"意象"或"性格",它既是一种"有形的静物态"也是一种"无形的动物态"。音乐的灵魂是一部音乐作品"音响结构"动态中"非物质"性的思想、精神内涵,它存在于作曲家、演奏家以及欣赏者的精神创造和重建之中。文章从哲学、美学的视角对旋律以及"音乐的灵魂"之几个方面做了剖析,并且随着时代变迁,旋律概念的变化也提出了一些认识和看法。

Melody is the most concrete ＂abstract embodiment＂, ＂image＂ or ＂character＂. It is not only one kind of＂the visible static state of matter＂ but also one kind of ＂invisible moving state of matter ＂. Music soul is ＂the non-material＂ spiritual connotation in the moving state of ＂the acoustic structure＂ in a music work, which exists in the minds of composers, performers and listeners during their spiritual creation and reconstruction. The article discusses melody and ＂soul of music＂ from the angles of philosophy and esthetics. It also proposed some understanding and the view to the changing concept of melody along with the times change.
