《萬鷺翔雲》 作曲｜趙俊毅 指揮｜安敬業 場次｜時光隧道下的兩端VIII ─ 南洋繽紛 日期｜2025.08.31 地點｜嘉義縣表演藝術中心 演藝廳 本作由台灣嘉義民族管弦樂團委約創作，首演於2025年嘉義民族音樂節。本作品取材自台灣嘉義太興山谷中每年秋季黃頭鷺南遷的自然景象。儘管作曲者並未親歷現場，靈感卻源自紀錄片與影像資料中的群鳥飛行畫面——一種如霧、如潮的生命流動感，在腦海中漸漸演化為一部印象主義色彩濃厚的樂章繪卷。 整部作品並不直接描繪事件或具體時間線，而是通過音樂構建出一種「觀看」與「感受」的體驗，既是對自然生態的想象投射，也是一種內在心境的抒發與回響。 I. 引子：晨霧初散 開場以碎片式旋律與多層織體交錯展開，音響如同晨光中的山谷輪廓，朦朧卻充滿生命感。其間貫穿一段近似「繞口令」般的旋律動機，以不斷變化的重復穿梭其中，在模糊與流動之間建立微妙的張力。整體氣質更近似印象派畫作的色彩構成，而非傳統意義上的動機發展。 II. 主題展開：白羽之境 主題段落並非圍繞單一旋律構建，而是由數個旋律片段交替展開，彼此之間以動機素材為紐帶，在不同音色中輪流呈現，營造出層層流動的結構感。主旋律中某些音高動機貫穿全段，雖不顯眼卻為整體帶來內在連結。 III. 中段：遠歌浮現 在晨霧般的背景中，悄然浮現台灣民謠〈一隻鳥仔〉的旋律意象。不同於原曲的輕快，本段以山歌式悠遠的音調，勾勒出某種逝去或未及的情感投影。 IV. 慢板：凝望與懷想 前段旋律中的某條線索在此段以更寬廣、更莊嚴的形態重現。音樂展現出內斂而深層的情緒，如同面對遼闊景色所激起的懷念、沈思與感慨。 V. 再現：翔雲之勢 音樂由靜轉動，先前的主題片段重新聚合，並推向高峰。音響層層疊加，形塑出群鳥振翅而起、翻湧如浪的景象，音響漸趨壯闊，令人震撼。 VI. 尾聲：餘音與遠影 終段回歸寧靜，烏群逐漸遠去，音樂也隨之淡出。而〈一隻鳥仔〉動機再次現身，並以人聲輕唱呈現，為整部作品留下不同層次的共鳴——不懂是自然的回響，也似人心之聲。 本作在生態題材中融入印象派式筆法與民間旋律思維，既非紀錄亦非寫實，而是一幅借由音樂編織的心象風景。 “Clouds of Soaring Egrets” Composer: Zhao Jun-Yi Conductor: An Jing-Ye Program: At Both Ends of the Time Tunnel VIII — Nanyang Vibrancy Date: August 31, 2025 Venue: Chiayi County Performing Arts Center, Concert Hall Commissioned by the Chiayi Traditional Orchestra (CTO), this work premiered at the 2025 Chiayi Ethno-Music Festival. The piece is inspired by the annual autumn migration of the Cattle Egret (Bubulcus coromandus) through the Taixing Valley in Chiayi, Taiwan. While the composer did not witness the event in person, the inspiration blossomed from documentaries and visual archives—a fluid, tide-like movement of life that evolved in his mind into an Impressionistic musical scroll. Rather than a literal depiction of a timeline, the composition constructs an experience of "watching" and "sensing." It is both an imaginative projection of nature and an internal resonance of the soul. I. Introduction: The Morning Mist Dissipates The opening unfolds with fragmented melodies and multilayered textures, mimicking the silhouettes of a valley in the dawn light—hazy yet vibrant. A "tongue-twister" melodic motif weaves through with shifting repetitions, creating subtle tension between ambiguity and flow. II. Theme Development: Realm of White Feathers Instead of a single melody, this section is built on alternating melodic fragments linked by motivic materials. They surface across different instrumental colors, creating a layered, structural sense of movement. III. Middle Section: Distant Song Emerges Amidst the misty background, the melodic imagery of the Taiwan folk song "A Little Bird" quietly surfaces. Departing from the original’s brisk pace, this section adopts a distant, mountain-song-like tone, sketching a projection of nostalgia or unspoken emotion. IV. Adagio: Gaze and Reflection A thread from the previous melody reappears in a broader, more solemn form. The music reveals an introspective and profound depth, akin to the contemplation and longing stirred by a vast, breathtaking landscape. V. Recapitulation: Soaring Through Clouds The music shifts from stillness to motion as previous themes reassemble and build toward a climax. Layered sounds evoke the sight of thousands of Cattle Egrets taking flight like surging waves—a grand and breathtaking sonic spectacle. VI. Coda: Lingering Echoes and Distant Shadows The finale returns to tranquility as the flock recedes and the music fades. The "A Little Bird" motif reappears, this time presented through soft human chanting, leaving a resonance that is both an echo of nature and a voice from the heart. Blending Impressionistic techniques with folk melodic thinking, this work is neither a documentary nor a realistic depiction, but a landscape of the heart woven through music.
