劉聿容聲樂演唱會 (含輔助文件：藉歌唱技巧來詮釋音樂與詩之結合─以班傑明•布瑞頓《在這島上》op.11為例)

Abstract

二十世紀初期的作曲家以美學為出發點，賦予人聲許多深淺不同的色彩，使此豐富的色彩變化成了近代音樂作品的一大特色。英國作曲家及詩人因受到當時社會變遷的衝擊，開始創作個人風格較為強烈的作品。本文將深入探討這時代轉變下的當代詩作之意境與樂曲風格之結合，並在融合傳統與近代之歌唱技巧下的音色變化來作樂曲詮釋，以作曲家布瑞頓與詩人奧登於1936年完成的《在這島上》此部連篇歌曲為例。

此連篇歌曲的研究，分為六章，簡單討論在英國社會變遷的文化背景下對音樂與詩的影響、作曲家與詩人的個人背景、以音色變化為主軸之歌唱技巧的歷史演變與特色，然後藉此深入詮釋歌曲中的詩與音樂結合之意境，並且參考作曲家親自演出的當代錄音以及本人的演唱經驗來作單曲分析與詮釋。期望提供讀者深刻地了解近代藝術歌曲之精神以及演唱詮釋的參考。

In the beginning of the twenty-century, composers provide coloration for human voice from an aesthetic perspective, which results in the major characteristic of modern musical artistry. Influenced by heavy social vicissitude at that time, British composers and poets start to compose works with intensely personal style. By using composer Benjamin Britten’s song cycle On This Island, op.11 as an example, this thesis will discuss composer and poet’s artistic concepts, as well as provide an interpretation based on the traditional and modern coloration and singing skills.

There are six chapters in this thesis. In the beginning, the influence of English social vicissitude on music and poems is discussed briefly. Background of composers and poets will be described. Further, the historical evolution and characteristics of coloration vocal skills will be analyzed, which leads to the ample explanation of the unity of music and poems. Moreover, analysis and interpretation are referred to composers’ recording performed by Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears and the author’s personal performing experience. Hopefully, this study can offer readers a reference for studying and performing the modern British art songs.
