The Short-toed Lark And The Cetti's War 梅湘

"奧利維耶-梅西安的《鳥類目錄》共 7 冊，收錄了他在 1956 年至 1958 年間創作的 13 首鋼琴曲。每一卷都涉及一種特殊的鳥類以及這種鳥類在法國的典型產地。樂曲不僅描述鳥類，還描繪鳥類周圍的環境，如其他鳥類、該地區的風景、色彩和溫度。 第 1 冊 - Le Chocard des Alpes（阿爾卑斯雛雞） - Le Loriot（金黃鸝） IH Le Merle Bleu（藍岩鶇） 第 2 冊 - Le Traquet Stapazin（黑耳麥雀） 第 3 冊 - La Chouette Hulotte（黃褐色貓頭鷹） - L'Alouette Lulu（木雲雀） 第 4 冊 - La Rousserolle Effar（黑耳麥雀 第 4 冊 - La Rousserolle Effarvatte（蘆葦鶯） 第 5 冊 - L'Alouette Calandrelle（短趾雲雀） - La Bouscarle（塞蒂鶯） 第 6 冊 - Le Merle de Roche（岩鶇） 第 7 冊 - La Buse Variable（禿鷲） - Le Traquet Rieur（黑須雀） - Le Courlis Cendré（卷尾鴉） 如上所述、 第 5 卷主要介紹短趾雲雀和塞蒂鶯。其中，短趾雲雀代表普羅旺斯的原野，塞蒂鶯則代表夏朗德地區。 由於一些複雜的技巧要求，這些樂曲的演繹需要較高的鋼琴水準（高級）。 奧利維耶-梅西安（Olivier Messiaen，1908-1992 年）是法國管風琴演奏家和作曲家，熱衷於鳥類學，是本世紀最重要的作曲家之一。受日本音樂的啟發，他的作曲方式非常特別，他的作品以其複雜性、二度性、有限轉調的和聲、色彩和附加節奏而著稱。他創作了許多與鳥類學和鳥鳴有關的作品，包括 7 卷本的《節奏、色彩和鳥類學論文集》"

原文簡介:
“The Bird Catalogue by Olivier Messiaenis a set of 7 books with 13 pieces for Piano composed between 1956 and 1958. Each volume refers to a special bird and to the region where the bird is typically from in France. The piece not only describes the bird, it also depicts its surroundings, such as other birds, the landscape of its area, the colours and the temperature. Book 1 - Le Chocard des Alpes (Alpine Chough) - Le Loriot (Golden Oriole) IH Le Merle Bleu (Blue Rock Thrush) Book 2 - Le Traquet Stapazin (Black-Eared Wheatear) Book 3 - La Chouette Hulotte (Tawny Owl) - L'Alouette Lulu (Wood Lark) Book 4 - La Rousserolle Effarvatte (Reed Warbler) Book 5 - L'Alouette Calandrelle (Short-Toed Lark) - La Bouscarle (Cetti's Warbler) Book 6 - Le Merle de Roche (Rock Thrush) Book 7 - La Buse Variable (Buzzard) - Le Traquet Rieur (Black Wheatear) - Le Courlis Cendré (Curlew) As mentioned above, this 5th volume focuses on the Short-toed Lark and the Cetti's Warbler. The first one, the Short-toed Lark represents the wilderness of Provence and the Cetti's Warbler, the Charente area. The interpretation of these pieces requires a strong level in Piano (upper advanced), due to some complex technique requirement. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer who was passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony with limited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong, including the 'Treatise on rhythm, colour and ornithology' in 7 volumes.”
