艾爾徹《安魂曲》之指揮詮釋研究

Abstract

馬爾科姆・艾爾徹( Malcolm Archer, b. 1952 ) 為英國當代作曲家，艾爾徹的《安魂曲》( Requiem ) 是根據佛瑞( Gabriel Urbain Faure, 1845-1924 ) 的《安 魂曲》為藍圖，並於一九九二年完成創作。艾爾徹的《安魂曲》編制為女高音 獨唱、男中音獨唱、混聲合唱，並搭配管風琴伴奏;全曲包含七個樂章:《進 堂曲與垂憐曲》( Introit and Kyrie )、《奉獻曲》( Offertory )、《歡呼歌》 ( Sanctus )、《慈悲耶穌》( Pie Jesu )、《羔羊讚》( Agnus Dei )、《上 主，求祢拯救》( Libera Me, Domine )和《進入天國》( In Paradisum )。 本論文透過作曲家生平的探究及樂曲創作背景，分析曲中各樂章之組成架構，並藉由實際排練與指揮展演整部作品，盼能對艾爾徹的《安魂曲》做更全面性且深入地暸解。依據研究者初步觀察，國內目前還沒有此作品的展演紀錄，期許透過本作品之探討與研究，可以和國內的指揮者分享交流，並為國內的指揮學習和合唱音樂推廣盡一份心力。Malcolm Archer (b. 1952) is a contemporary British composer, he has composed "Requiem" and completed it in 1992, based on “Requiem” composed by Gabriel Faure (1845-1924). Archer’s “Requiem” was composed with a soprano solo, a baritone solo and mixed chorus with organ. The entire work includes seven movements: "Introit and Kyrie", "Offertory", "Sanctus", "Pie Jesu", "Agnus Dei", "Libera Me, Domine" and " In Paradisum" . The compositional structure of each movement in the entire work is analyzed in this thesis. The composer’s entire life and the background in which Archer composed his music was researched. Through the actual rehearsal and performance of the entire work, Archer's “Requiem” was understood more comprehensively by the conductor. At present, there is no record of the performance of this work in Taiwan. I hope I am able to share some information with conductors through this thesis, and to contribute and promote in the field of choral music and conducting studies.
