《五首叠歌》的分析与启示——梅西安音乐创作中印度素材的运用技法

The Analysis and Illumination of "Five Rechants"——The Application Techniques of Indian Material in Messiaen's Musical Composition

在法国当代极具影响力的作曲家梅西安的音乐创作中有着强烈的"印度情结"。《五首叠歌》是梅西安唯一一首十二声部无伴奏混声合唱作品,同时又是梅西安"特里斯坦三部曲"之一,在梅西安的创作中占据重要地位。本文以《五首叠歌》的个案分析为例,从印度传统音乐的两大基本要素——拉格(音高)与塔拉(节奏)入手,尝试概括梅西安创作中印度音乐素材运用的技法特征,以此折射出梅西安在处理素材与技法时的创作理念。

Messiaen, most influential contemporary French composer, displays an intense ＂India complex＂ in his musical creation. ＂Five Rechants＂ is his only 12-voice unaccompanied mixed chorus work and is also one of his ＂Tristan Trilogy＂, and therefore occupies an important position in his composition. This paper makes a case analysis of ＂Five Rechants＂ and tries to summarize Messiaen＇ s technique features of Indian music material application in his creation from two basic elements of traditional Indian music-Raga （pitch） and Tala （rhythm）. These features reflect Messiaen＇s creative ideas in dealing with material and technique.
