2004〜2007年南聲社的儀式活動及其音樂研究

Abstract

在臺灣傳統音樂以及戲曲裡,都有所謂的保護神或是此樂種創造者的說法,在南管中則是以孟府郎君為其代表。南管文化圈所包含之儀式的範圍是非常廣泛的,其包括祭祀郎君與先賢之春、秋二祭以及各類生命儀禮等之婚喪喜慶。 本文序論的部份主要是介紹臺灣南管館閣的概況,及南聲社的歷史沿革、當代成員的社會背景,以及南聲社在臺灣南管館閣中的情形;再者,將南管中之儀式類目、音樂及相關之文獻和研究等做一回顧。 本文共分三章;第一章:南管館閣所舉行之儀式概況,主要乃針對存在於南管文化圈中之各類儀式做一概略性的介紹;本章分為三節來討論,分別為儀式性質的分類、喪葬的儀式與結婚的儀式。第二章:南聲社所舉行之各種儀式,本章分做三節,分別以郎君祭、館閣社員之生命儀式(其中包含弔喪儀式、結婚儀式、祝壽儀式等)、社區廟宇之各種儀式來探討;本章主要討論的對象為南聲社之各種儀式,同時也會加入臺灣各館閣之儀式音樂及儀程異同之部份,作一個概略性的描述。第三章:儀式音樂分析,本章分為四節來討論,本章節主要是透過樂曲之性質及功能來分類,並以此了解儀式中音樂所使用之場合及功能;再者,透過過場音樂之比較,以呈現南管文化圈中,館閣演奏之時間及裝飾音之差別。 儀式是祭祀行為中具體化的表現,受信仰支配的影響下即使社會不斷的變遷,儀式行為也能夠完善的被保存而不流失,對於受到社會文化影響的南管音樂而言,儀式音樂中的郎君祭,也是南管音樂中保存較完整的音樂系統。因此本文主要探討的,就是這些南管音樂中儀式性較強的音樂,是如何在社會變遷與異文化的衝擊影響下而得以保存下來,又是如何運作及如何地傳承。並希望能藉此尋求更多的理論以及探討上的突破,以一個新的觀點去看,在一個時代階段性的文化下,所帶給人們不同的省思及呈現,以及其在音樂或是在儀式行為上的改變,並重視各種遺留下來的音樂、行為,及其呈現在社會各層面的現象。
Legend has it that there are some sorts of gods or originators existing in traditional Taiwanese music and dramas, especially Mon Fu Lang Jun in Nan-Kuan. Lang Jun Ji-this ritual itself involves comprehensive scope; however, unavoidably, its form and structure may be changed as time goes by. A ritual is a concrete presentation of worship. Even though the society changes constantly under the influence which is dominated by religion, the process of ritual can be still preserved without vanishing. Influenced by society and culture, Lang Jun Ji in Nan-Kuan as ritual music is quite a complete music system. Hence, this essay mainly discusses how Lang Jun Ji, which owns stronger ritual elements in Nan-Kuan works, and how it can be preserved and inherited under the effects of social diversity and culture shock, since the process and music of Lang Jun Ji may partly be lost because of changes in society. By means of this I hope I can also seek the breakthrough for more theoretical and advanced progress, using a new point of view to exam the reflection that today’s culture brings to us and the changes on music and presentation of rituals. Also we have to respect all kinds of music and behaviors left, and how they present themselves in every part of the society as well. Finally I will using my theoretical discussion applying to explain Nan-Kuan.
