《幽兰逢春》的创作之路

A Look at the Composing of Spring Coming to the Secluded Orchid

《幽兰逢春》是浙派笛子大师赵松庭先生的最重要的作品之一,在众多的习笛者中,是演奏学习最多的一首。作者从周恩来总理赞美昆曲的一句话联想到自己的艺术生涯和生活经历,以兰花逢春的比喻来抒发自己对总理的怀念和对美好生活的向往。借昆曲曲牌《二郎神》为音乐动机,作者从曲式结构,调式和声,主题题材以及旋律等方面进行发展,从而创作出了一部感人至深的音乐作品。

The Chinese flute solo of Spring Coming to the Secluded Orchid is one of the most important musical compositions of Mr.Zhao Songting,a flute master of the Zhejiang School.It is also one that enjoys the greatest importance and largest popularity among Chinese flute players.Associating the praises lavished on Kunqu opera given by Premier Zhou Enlai with his own art career and life-history,the composer expressed his deep feelings toward Premier Zhou and his yearning for a better life by making an analogy to the secluded orchids that welcomed spring.Taking the Chinese God of Erlang Shen,a qupai（generic term for a fixed melody used in traditional Chinese music） of Kunqu Opera,as the source of inspiration,the composer finally arrived at a touching piece of music work by enriching his compositions in terms of musical structure,tuning and sound,themes and melodies,cantus,etc.
