No. 42 (In the Alps - an animated concert) 音乐会 总谱 朔特版

第 42 号（阿尔卑斯山）"也许最适合描述为一部情节剧。它结合了许多令我着迷的主题：文本叙事与音乐叙事的关系、歌剧史、早期电影、十九世纪的戏剧实践，以及阿尔卑斯山地区的民间和流行音乐。年轻的 Bobli 住在无法攀登的山峰下的村庄里。他天生是个哑巴，靠吹小号与世界交流。Bobli 听到女高音的歌声飘到山谷里。女高音听到 Bobli 的小号曲调被风吹向她。就像任何一部值得尊敬的情节剧一样，文本和音乐相结合，描绘或暗示了一场广泛的戏剧冒险，在这部作品中，从创世（或大爆炸）开始，有孤独的生存、乡村生活场景、一些木工活、许多山羊、单相思，最后以注定失败的追求结束。 在现场表演中，[随演出材料提供的]文本将以无声电影字幕的形式投射在音乐家身后的屏幕上

原文简介:
No.42 (In the Alps) could perhaps best be described as a melodrama. It combines many of the subjects that fascinate me: the relationship of text narrative and musical narrative, the history of opera, early cinema, the theatrical practices of the nineteenth century, along with the folk and popular music of the Alpine region.A girl (the soprano), stranded on top of an un-climbable mountain peak as a young baby, is taught to sing by the mountain animals. Young Bobli lives in the village far below the un-climbable peak. He was born mute and communicates with the world by playing the trumpet. Bobli hears the soprano's song drifting down into the valley. The soprano listens to Bobli's trumpet tunes blown up to her by the wind. They are both enchanted.The three acts are separated by interludes describing how three animals experience time passing in relation to a musical tempo.Like any self respecting melodrama the text and music combine to depict or imply a wide ranging theatrical adventure, in this piece starting at the Creation (or the big bang), a lonely existence, scenes of rustic village life, some carpentry, many mountain goats, unrequited love, and ending in a quest destined to fail. In a live performance the text [provided with the performance material] is to be projected on a screen behind the musicians in the style of silent movie intertitles.Richard Ayres
