大江东去——中国惠州近代音乐先驱青主及其歌曲创作

The Yangtze River Flows Eastward——On QING Zhu,a Pioneer in Modern Music in Huizhou China and His Works

青主是我国三十年代初对当时乐坛有着较深刻影响、积极宣传"为艺术而艺术"的代表人物。青主自幼受到中国传统文化思想的影响,他以为动人的音乐往往是一首首音诗,音乐家也首先是音乐的诗人,其美学思想、观点至今影响着中国的音乐教育。此外,青主将西方作曲技术与中国古典诗词完美结合的艺术形式,还体现在《大江东去》等艺术歌曲创作中,尤其《大江东去》堪称为我国艺术歌曲的经典之作。这在当时不仅是一种尝试、探索与创新,拓展了中国民族音乐的旋律语言,而且首开和创造了中国音乐新语境的先河。

QING Zhu was a representative in 1930s in China who had a far-reaching effect on music circles and actively spread the idea ＂art for art＇s sake＂.Growing up under the influence of Chinese traditional culture and thinking,he regarded pieces of moving music as poems and certainly musicians as poets.His aesthetic views and thoughts have influenced Chinese musical education so far.Furthermore,he combined western composing techniques with Chinese ancient poems perfectly to compose artistic songs like the Yangtse River Flows Eastward,a classical artistic song in China,thus developed language of melody in Chinese national music and first opened a new contert in Chinese music.This was really a new attempt,a trial and an innovation at that time.
