论山西民歌的后现代化——为《黄河儿女情》荣获“文华奖”而作

早在五十年代一曲由诗人阮章竟填词的《妇女自由歌》,由歌唱家郭兰英首唱后便传遍全世界,这首歌的曲调是由我省中部祁(县)、太(太谷县)秧歌中的《苦伶仃》、《割莜麦》、《卖烧土》、《大挑菜》四支民歌组成的。从此优美委婉的山西民歌被中、外听众所发现所熟悉所接受,并称赞不已,名声为之大振。再追溯到抗日、解放战争及社会主义建设时期,广大音乐工作者非常重视对山西民歌的搜集整理及研究,并填写新训加以推广,流传于各解放区乃至全国,为党的宣传工作建立了不可磨灭的历史功绩。进入七十年代后期,由于港台流行歌曲象潮水般涌入大陆,这对山西民歌来讲不能不说是一个不大不小的冲击。
