李姆斯基．柯薩可夫交響組曲《天方夜譚》作品三十五之探究與指揮詮釋

Abstract

《天方夜譚》(Scheherazade)創作於一八八八年，為李姆斯基‧柯薩可夫(Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov, 1844-1908)最具代表性的管絃樂作品之一。其共分為四個樂章，以阿拉伯故事《一千零一夜》作為啟發而寫作完成，各樂章於首演時皆具有標題，分別為：「海與辛巴達的船」(The Sea and the Sinbad’s Ship)、「卡蘭達王子的故事」(Prince Kalender’s Narrative)、「年輕王子與公主」(The Young Prince and Princess)、「巴格達的慶典－海－船撞上有青銅騎士雕像的峭壁」(Festival at Baghdad-The Sea-The Ship Breaks against a Cliff Surmounted by a Bronze Horseman)，而在首演後李姆斯基‧柯薩可夫便刪除了標題，希望聽眾以自己的想像力去完成對於樂曲畫面的勾勒。 本論文以作曲家背景與其音樂理論著作為出發點，將《天方夜譚》整首曲子作深入的探究，並且將其應用於實際排練與演出當中。透過排練與演出，整理出樂曲中所需注意的重點以及處理的依據。期許能為後續喜愛該作品以及計畫演出的後進有參考的依據。Scheherazade, composed by Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) in 1888.

It comprised of four movements, each movement has a title when it was premiered: The Sea and the Sin bad’s Ship, Prince Kalender’s Narrative, The Young Prince and Princess, Festival at Baghdad-The Sea-The Ship Breaks against a Cliff Surmounted by a Bronze Horseman. However, after performance, Rimsky-Korsakov deleted the title to let audience can imagine by theirselves. Based on the composer's background and his musical theory, this thesis makes an in-depth exploration of the whole piece of Scheherazade and applies it to practical rehearsals and performances.
