50年代的新创歌曲,朴素无华而充满朝气,如:《歌唱二郎山》、《远航归来》、《勘察队员之歌》、《敖包相会》、《九九艳阳天》、《草原之夜》等等。开国歌曲,如:王莘词曲的《歌唱祖国》,郭沫若词、马思聪曲的《中国少年儿童队队歌》,袁水拍词、瞿希贤曲的《我们要和时间赛跑》,招司词、瞿希贤曲的《全世界人民心一条》,马可词曲的《我们工人有力量》等,雄壮豪迈、大气从容。加上苏联歌曲,少数民族歌舞曲,传唱具有广泛的群众性,催人振奋。在公园,在学校工厂,常常听到手风琴伴奏下的合唱声。西洋音乐、歌剧水准也都有提高,如1958年诞生的由何占豪、陈钢作曲的著名的小提琴协奏曲《梁山伯与祝英台》就是融合了优美的越剧曲调创作的、中西合璧的顶级名曲。各地民歌、广东音乐、新奏乐曲如京调、紫竹调、花好月圆、少数民族舞曲等,汇成大流,在上海纷纷制成“中国唱片”,传播到全国各地。。。。

我之所以說是蘇聯歌,因調子及處理手法,是有濃厚的俄羅斯風格。究竟是中央音乐学院那两位教授呢,他們在50年代或文革時出了什麼問題,命運又是怎樣呢,很有興趣知道。

Steven,

Who are we to condemn anyone who struggles to have a living? We are no saints, anyway.

Frankly, I prefer Minnelli's interpretation to Hawroth's. The reason? Well, we say in German "Da gibt es mehr Pep drin." Roughly translated into English: There is more get-up-and-go in Minnelli's interpretation.

That movie contains a lot of the time when Germans were in dispair, not easy to be understood by those who don't care about history. However, it is striking alone with the performance of Liza Minnelli. Most Chinese wouldn't like the life style of her role in this movie, I guess. But I was pretty impressed when I first saw the movie about 30 years ago. There was a scene when she stormed in a library and yelled that she was pregnant. That was something! Still, there was a show when she was playing a girl in love with a chimpanzee while the other actor sang something like "Why do you have anything against my loving him? He is not even a Jew." Well, it isn't easy to understand what is behind the statement. But, it is a nice movie. Sensitive people can learn a lot from it.

該平反的已平反了,除非是死不悔改的 Jul 31, 2007

看那《远航归来》影版的歌譜,上面的作歌、填詞人的名字就是沒有了。是不是因為聽來像蘇聯歌便有問題,正如《何日君再來》一樣,日君=日軍,便成賣國歌曲了,作曲家也受迫害,反被台灣的鄧麗君唱紅了。

就是等到此君的到來,為他平反,此君就是姓鄧的,不過是麗君。

『劉雪庵生於1905年,卒于1985年,終年80歲。這個年齡可以說是高壽,但對他來說卻無法用“享年”一詞,因為他生命的最後三十來年時光,幾乎沒有享受到“生”的樂趣。1957年,劉雪庵被劃為右派,撤銷了他的中國音樂學院副院長職務,堂堂教授,降職成為圖書館的資料員,文革中再遭到了滅頂之災。他的罪名是反革命、漢奸,他的作品被斥為黃色、反動。1980年,老友謝孝思來京探望,見到了住在殘破的陋室裏中風癱瘓、淚流滿面、哽咽難言的劉雪庵。給劉雪庵帶來巨大災難的原因是什麼呢?最主要的原因就是那首《何日君再來》,而把那首歌的罪名完全架在劉雪庵頭上,又恰恰是一個冤案!

電影劇作家潘孑農1986年撰文回顧了這首歌的創作過程:1936年,藝華影片公司拍攝廣告宣傳歌舞片《三星伴月》,導演方沛霖請劉雪庵為影片寫一首當時流行的探戈曲。劉寫成後,導演心血來潮,未徵得劉雪庵同意,就讓編劇黃嘉謨填了唱詞。劉雪庵看到詞後,覺得有些段落粗俗,曾向友人表示不滿,但礙于情面,未公開提出異議。潘文認為,其時上海尚未淪陷,不能說這首歌是“為漢奸做宣傳”,先有曲後填詞,詞句頹廢消極了些,又與劉雪庵何干!這個見證人反“右”以後也被張春橋打入冤獄,1981年才有機會向媒體披露真相。站在另一角度、立場看,這披露真相就是替劉“翻案”,曾幾何時,“翻案不得人心”也是一句重要的語錄呢。』

「何『日軍』再來」doesn't make sense at all. Using this as an excuse to persecute a musician/composer was ridiculous. But my question is: Why did people let it happen? 我的答案:養狗當然要縱容狗兒發威,否則牠們怎會乖乖接受那種無償的勞動?!

What the hell is good of a rehabilitation?! 翻案不是不得人心,而是鎮不住人心。有些人就是以為老百姓需要嚇唬,不斷提醒他們誰能定他們的生死。其實,老百姓聰明得很,只是不願意在非不得已的情況下正面對著幹而已。

何日君再來 (一﹑二) : 本是1936年劉雪庵在一次上海音專同學聯歡會的Tango即興作品﹐翌年“ 77事變”前夕﹐上海藝華影業接受了生產三星牙膏的中國化學工業社的資助﹐拍攝了一套由周璇主演的歌舞片“三星伴月” ﹐導演找來黃嘉謨 (筆名: 貝林) 填上詞而成為主題曲“何日君再來” 。1941年﹐李香蘭也曾灌唱﹐李回日本後於1952年也曾再度灌唱了國語/日語的雙語版。1978年再被鄧麗君灌唱而令此曲風行至今。不過劉雪庵卻曾因作此曲被冠為“為漢奸作黃色反動歌曲” 而受害無窮﹐歌曲本是寫一對戀人在離別之前的依依不捨之情﹐但是何日“君”再來﹐在當時的政局底下﹐站在中國 (國民黨/共產黨) 與日本不同的立場下也可以有不同的詮譯 (抗日歌曲/歡迎日本皇軍/歡迎國民黨)。1957年劉雪庵被錯誤劃為右派﹐文革中又遭到殘害﹐妻子喬景雲為了保護丈夫被人不斷朝她的肚子和下體踢去﹐直到她陰部大量出血﹐後來更一病不起。“何日君再來”事件要到三中全會後才獲平反﹐而劉雪庵在1985年3 月15日黯然離世。

今宵離別後 何日君再來 喝完了這杯 請進點小菜
人生難得幾回醉 不歡更何待

今宵離別後 何日君再來

玉漏頻相催 良辰去不回 一刻千金價 痛飲莫徘徊

人生難得幾回醉 不歡更何待

今宵離別後 何日君再來

停唱陽關疊 重擊白玉杯 殷勤頻致語 牢牢撫君懷
今宵離別後 何日君再來 喝完了這杯 請進點小菜
人生難得幾回醉 不歡更何待

今宵離別後 何日君再來

ふたリ並んで 寄り添いながら
ささやきも ほほえみも
楽しくとけあい 過したあの日
ああ いとし君 いつ 又帰る

早上離家,看到門前那株玫瑰,只剩下一朵花,想起這詩、這首歌。

Wikipedia: The Last Rose of Summer is a poem by Irish poet Thomas Moore, who was a friend of Byron and Shelley. Moore wrote it in 1805 while at Jenkinstown Park in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Sir John Stevenson, 1761-1833, set the poem to its beautiful melody and it was published in a collection of Moore's work called Irish Melodies (1807-34). It was made popular in the twenty first century in a recording by Charlotte Church and the Irish Tenors.

This melody was used extensively throughout Friedrich von Flotow's opera "Martha," first performed in 1847 in Vienna. According to the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1954), this opera was a remodelling from a ballet written in conjunction with Burgmuller and Deldevez and produced in Paris in 1844 as "Lady Henriette." It stands to reason, based on the evidence, that Flotow made liberal use of Stevenson's melody.

It is sung in the Musical group Celtic Woman by Meav NiMhaolchatha

Sarah Brightman - The last rose of summer
'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions are faded and gone;
No flow'r of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them;
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead. -- [see remark below]

So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away!
When true hearts lie wither'd,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

这是 Heintje (Hendrik Nikolaas Theodoor Simons,1955 年生) 年轻时唱的歌曲。这小子其实是荷兰人,但唱的尽是德语歌曲,唱到今天还是德语歌曲 (2006 年推出“男人就是太善良了”Männer sind einfach zu gut)。

Letzte Rose in unserem Garten,
die verborgen im Laub ich fand,
willst noch immer auf Sonne warten,
doch der Herbstwind weht uebers Land.
Laengst verwelkt sind alle Blumen,
all die Pracht ging laengst dahin.

Letzte Rose in unserem Garten,
so alleine musst du verbluehen,
La la la......

Laengst verwelkt sind alle Blumen,
all die Pracht ging laengst dahin.
Letzte Rose in unserem Garten,
so alleine musst du verbluehn,
so alleine musst du verbluehn.

Oh! who would inhabit this bleak world alone? Aug 2, 2007

每天上班,都是由陳嬸駕車,我口中就是哼著夏日最後的玫瑰這首歌,她沒有問我的原因,但她知道我的心情,當日,我就是指著屋前那孤獨的玫瑰,說起這首歌。覺得人的怨懟、仇恨、敵視、競爭就是孤單的根源,在這個世界,人不能孤立地生存,就算有玫瑰的嬌艷、芳香,又與誰分享、訴說呢。人是聰明的動物,沒有解決不了的關系,不是人與人之間的爭斗,讓這個世界熱鬧起來,而是因為這不願去消解的紛爭,令人孤獨、苦惱。卡門,是要聽的歌。

King of the road

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues
I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children and all of their names
Every handout in every town
And every lock that ain't locked
When no one's around

I sing
Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

Roger Miller also wrote the music and lyrics of his Tony Award-winning musical "Big River". I've mentioned it before in the Pig Year thread if I remember correctly.
