約翰‧杜克《來自海上》聯篇歌曲之研究
Abstract
約翰‧杜克(John Duke，1899－1984)是二十世紀美國現代最重要的作曲家之ㄧ，他身處於兩次世界大戰不安的時代，當時正值「美國詩詞文藝復興」(American poetic renaissance)風潮蔚起的之際，受到美國詩詞無形的影響，杜克靈活運用二十世紀文學及詩詞的素材，融合了當代音樂的創作元素，使美國藝術歌曲有了新的面貌。接觸杜克早、中、晚期部分的藝術歌曲後，發現歌曲的歌詞素材是以採用美國女詩人狄斯德爾（Sara Teasdale，1884－1933）的詩為最多，但國內針對杜克的美國藝術歌曲研究並不易取得，而以「狄斯德爾與音樂」為主題的研究更是缺乏，因此本論文將探討由杜克引用狄斯德爾的詩，並與詩篇同標題而完成的聯篇歌曲《來自海上》。
本論文共分為五章，除了第一章緒論外，第二章談論杜克的生平背景
，並對不同時期的選詩偏好和音樂創作風格做一深入的分析。第三章是論詩人莎拉‧狄斯德爾的生平背景，以及她一生具有代表性的七本詩集，進而論
述詩篇「來自海上」的創作背景。第四章則是針對杜克《來自海上》聯篇歌
曲，進行抽絲剝繭的音樂分析，從曲式、和聲、調性、聲樂旋律、鋼琴伴奏、歌詞解析和演唱技巧等方向，了解音樂與詩詞之間相融的樂念。第五章是筆者研究此論文的總結。
John Duke (1899-1984) was one of the most important contemporary composers in the U.S. in 20th century. Living in the disturbing era between two World Wars, a period when American poetic renaissance was booming, and being influenced by American poets, Duke made good use of materials of 20th century literature and poet. He combined elements of music creation at that time and gave American art songs a new look. After looking through Duke's early, mid and late art songs, most elements found in his works were poets of Sara Teasdale(1988-1933), an American poetess. However the research of Duke's American art songs is difficult to find domestically, and those based on "Teasdale and Music" were even fewer; therefore this research focus on the song cycle "From the Sea," which Duke derived from Teasdale's poet and shared the same title. There are five chapters in this research. Chapter one: introduction. Chapter two: discussion of Duke's biography and in-depth analysis of his favor in selecting poets in different periods and the styles of music creation. Chapter three: the biography of Sara Teasdale and her seven most representative poets; then describing the creation background of poet "From the Sea." Chapter four: a detailed musical analysis of Duke's song cycle "From the Sea;" through aspects of musical form, harmony, tonality, vocal melody, piano accompaniment, analysis of lyric and singing skill to understand the concept of the combination of music and poet. Chapter five: conclusion.
