MUS106 Final Project: 贴作品

MUS106终于要做final project了, Dmitri给了三个选择:a) 写一首艺术歌曲,歌词自己选,风格模仿十九世纪初浪漫主义时期的作曲家,比如舒伯特,舒曼等人;b) 写一首五分钟左右的钢琴曲,尽可能运用现代派和爵士乐元素,胡堆音符也可以,但是堆得要有音乐性;c) 选一部作品来分析,写论文。 

我选了a.  歌词选用叶芝的《当你老了》:

当你老了,头发白了,睡意昏沉,
 炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和,
回想它们昔日浓重的阴影。


多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰, 
爱慕你的美丽,假意和真心;
只有一个人爱你朝圣者的灵魂,
爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹。

垂下头来,在红火闪耀的炉子旁,
凄然地轻轻诉说那爱情的消逝,
在头顶上的山上它缓缓地踱着步子,
在一群星星中间隐藏着脸庞。 

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

两个晚上完成的,贴作品在此〜〜我觉得旋律写得还行,和声也作了很多陈规之外的尝试, 但是钢琴伴奏有些笨拙。虽然谱面是降E大调,但很多地方我都用D-flat代替了D-natural, 借以揉进降A大调的mixolydian mode,这样整首曲子的色调就有了明暗变化。此外我觉得这首诗有个open ending, 所以旋律也相应地来了一个,在5而不是1上结束。总之比起上学期写的两个无比2B的小片断,还是长进了不少,Congrats to myself~~~^_^
