A Preliminary Study on the Relations between Music and Language in Wagner's Opera Composition Theory

瓦格纳认为,歌剧的音乐创作必须以达意为目的,必须将语言的意境完美地表达出来。瓦格纳以诗歌为例,将音乐与语言这两种不同的表述形式,通过语调和语音将它们联系了起来。明确的阐述了音乐与语言的主次关系,发现了音乐中的语言性。本文将从一,音乐与语言的背景;二,音乐与语言的主次;三,音乐的语言性三个方面来分析瓦格纳音乐与语言之间的关系特点。

According to Wagner,the aim of music creation in opera is to express the feeling,to fully present the artistic conception of the lyric language.Taking poetry as an example,Wagner finds out the relationships between music and language,two different ways of expression,by means of tone and pronunciation.He further explains the hierarchical relationship between music and language with a discovery of the language features of music.This paper attempts to make an analysis of Wagner＇s relationship between music and language from the following three aspects： the background of music and language,the hierarchy of language and music,and the language features of music.
