臺灣作曲家陳茂萱二十九首藝術歌曲詮釋與分析

Abstract

人類不可能離開音樂，這是本能；也不可能離開創作，因為這是人類發展自己至最大極致的方式。陳茂萱融合中西音樂元素，發展獨特的中式音樂語法，他曾提到，臺灣的音樂必須有自己的東西，不能一昧移植西方特色，並且認為音樂是一種開放的藝術，每個人因為其接觸的背景不同會對音樂產生主觀的解釋，在音樂的獨創性也會有所差異。所以，陳茂萱對於「民族性」的題材非常重視，從他創作歷程當中了解其中的使命與堅持，進而發展至本土音樂基礎訓練教材的編撰以及賦予藝術歌曲的定義與傳承價值，這都足以顯現陳茂萱在這片所愛的土地上所付出的點點滴滴。 筆者期望從陳茂萱的創作思維為出發點，以藝術歌曲創作歷程作探討，依序以緒論、陳茂萱個人生命史、音樂作品、演出紀錄、個人創作歷程、藝術歌曲創作內涵、二十九首藝術歌曲分析、鋼琴合作與詩意的結合等面向做基礎架構，搜集、整理相關重要歷程資料作為保存紀錄，希冀珍貴創作經典雋永。Humans can not leave music in that it is an instinct; nor can they quit creating things in that it is the way how human beings develop themselves to the fullest. Chen Mao-Shuen merges the elements of Chinese and Western music, developing it into a unique Chinese music grammar. He once said that Taiwanese music must have its own things instead of featuring the traits of Western music. He also considers music a type of open art. Due to different backgrounds, everyone has his or her own interpretation of music as well as the originality when creating music. Hence, Chen Mao-Shuen valued the materials about national character a lot. From the sense of duty and persistence he had when creating to the compilation of local music basic training materials along with defining the artistic songs and the merit of passing it down, all of the above present what Chen Mao-Shuen has given for the land he love.

The writer expects to embark on Chen Mao-Shuen’s mindset and further explore the creating process of artistic songs. The basic frame are listed below in sequence: introduction, the biography of Chen Mao-Shuen, music, performance records, personal creating process, contents of artististic songs creation, analysis of twenty-nine artistic songs, Collaborative Piano and the poetic cooperation. By searching and collating related information in order to reserve the records, we hope the classics can be remained forever.
