臺北市立國樂團-CD-源

來自新加坡的王辰威，擅長融匯不同民族的文化與語言入樂；他在臺北故宮博物院看到的商代禮樂器展覽，引發創作《商銅》打擊樂協奏曲的靈感，樂曲中運用大量打擊樂器形成的磅礡聲響，樂手除了演奏樂器，還以上古漢語的音韻朗誦詩經片段。馬來西亞籍作曲家江賜良創作的《桂枝湯》，以細膩的樂段設計，展現中醫調理的細微變化過程，樂思令人拍案叫絕。生長於加拿大的何啟榮，音樂具備深刻的表現力，為中阮與國樂團而寫的《水龍吟》，以美妙的樂音織體描繪東方水龍傳奇，是他為龍年出生的愛女而作的樂曲。臺灣作曲家王韻雅，則透過《旋灣》二胡協奏曲如歌的旋律，寫出南臺灣蔚藍海洋的波光掠影，傳遞對高雄西子灣的無限想像。

《源》專輯匯集的是作曲家生命經驗、首演獨奏家的音樂詮釋，以及指揮家與樂團的共同智慧結晶，而這些都只是自我與大自然萬象的一種觀點。我們冀望您以另一種文化詮釋觀點來聆賞專輯，願《源》如好風好水，源遠流傳，潤澤您的心靈與感官。

Preface-

The entire procession of a musical performance is this: composition-performance-appreciation-criticism. composition and performance (the supply) have always had the prerogative of interpretation. However, in today's multicultural, multidisciplinary, diversified society, with music aficionados and critics (the demand), does this absolutist prerogative still hold?

Origin collects the works of four contemporary composers in their prime, all hailing from different countries with different cultural backgrounds. Each has taken inspiration from his own life experiences or cultural observations in composing concertos for four Chinese instruments:Chinese percussion, Zhongruan, Dizi, and Erhu, bringing us a rich perspective on Chinese music.

Singaporean composer WANG Chenwei excels at integrating the cultures and languages of various ethnic groups into his music. Finding inspiration in the exhibition of musical instruments from the Shang dynasty at Taipei's National Palace Museum ,WANG composed the concerto for Chinese Percussion Bronze Age of Shang. Playing his ability to integrate, he conveys the majesty of his source material through a large number of Chinese percussion instruments. One unique touch he added to this piece was having the musicians recite fragments from the Chinese classic Book of Poetry using ancient pronunciations. In Cinnamon Twig Decoction, Malaysian composer Simon KONG Su Leong takes a page from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with its subtlety in diagnosis and conditioning, giving the piece a meticulous design that has listeners hanging intently on every note. The Canadian-raised Vincent HO, who has been lauded for his profound expressiveness, composed The Water Dragon Concerto for Zhongruan and Chinese Orchestra, which depicts the legend of the Eastern Water Dragon, all in a beautiful musical tapestry. HO wrote the piece on the occasion of his daughter's birth in a year of the dragon. Taiwanese compose WANG Yun-Ya's Xuan Wan Erhu concerto conveys the imaginative power of Kaohsiung's scenic Sizihwan bay through a glimpse of southern Taiwan's turquoise waters.

Origin also brings together these composers' life experiences, the musical interpretations of premiere soloists, and the emergent wisdom of the conductor and orchestra. And this is all just one view of the self and the myriad of nature. We hope that you listen to Origin from the cultural interpretation of your choice. Like good wind or good water, Origin is best when spread and shared, as it nourishes both soul and sense.
