漢宮秋月_出水蓮04 Autumn Moon over the Han Palace

漢宮秋月

試聽http://blog.xuite.net/musicswan/lotus/10707418


琵琶文套曲,描寫封建時代被選入宮中的女孩們,離別了父母兄弟與家鄉故土,一入宮院,既失去自由,還要強作歡笑或歌或舞。雖然身處亭台樓閣,錦衣玉食,然而一言一語.一舉一動都需遵循封建禮法,再也見不到父母兄弟,更談不上家庭與愛情。歷代文豪詩人描述宮女苦悶心情的詩文,各種地方戲曲說唱,演唱宮怨的劇目唱篇都很多,古代琵琶家也以宮女為題材創作了這首文套曲。此曲的特點是在樂聲中處處流露發自宮女內心的哀怨之聲。同時也有每逢佳節倍思親,中秋月夜,宮廷中歌舞聲聲,宮女們思念不絶之意。



Autumn Moon over the Han Palace


Under the feudal system, the young, poor girls who were selected to serve in the palace left their family and home and lost their freedom. But they had to force themselves to seem cheerful, entertaining the palace by singing and dancing. Even though they were given a luxurious life with exquisite chambers, fine clothes, and gourmet food, their behavior had to be restrained and follow the rigid rules of that time. They were never to see their parents, let alone to have their own family or a lover.


This subject—young maids who worked for royal families in palaces—was explored in poems, stories, operas and theater pieces, and in this set of tunes composed by several pipa masters. This work is filled with a sorrowful voice that seems to come from deep in these young maids’ hearts, and expresses their yearning to meet with their parents on Mid-Autumn Holidays when surrounded by the endless exuberant feasts in the palace.
