Pietro Mascagni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pietro Mascagni (December 7, 1863 – August 2, 1945) was an Italian composer most noted for his operas. His 1890 masterpiece, Cavalleria rusticana, caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and singlehandedly ushered in the Verismo movement in Italian dramatic music. However, though it has been stated that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, this is inaccurate. L'amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres. In fact, Mascagni himself claimed that at one point Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria (cf. Stivender). It is certainly a better vehicle for a popular lyric soprano.
Mascagni wrote a total of seventeen operas and operetta, several orchestral and vocal works, as well as songs and piano music. He enjoyed immense success during his lifetime, both as a composer and conductor of his own and other people's music. If he never repeated the international success of Cavalleria, it was probably because Mascagni refused to copy himself. The variety of styles in his operas—the Sicilian passion and warmth of Cavalleria, the exotic flavor of Iris, the idyllic breeze that ventilates the charming L'amico Fritz and Lodoletta, the Gallic chiaroscuro of Isabeau, the steely, Veristic power of Il piccolo Marat, the overripe postromanticism of the lush Parisina—demonstrate a versatility that surpasses even that of Puccini.
謝謝你的推薦和精彩的評論,尤其喜歡你說的這一句:“用他整個青春的感覺在寫。”
我想,青春是人的一生中充滿理想抱負憧憬的階段,是如此的美好而又浪漫。然而,人生的不同階段也有其獨特的魅力,人的一生才如此的豐富,世界才如此的多彩。
再次感謝你的分享,祝你周末快樂,

謝謝你的分享。我沒有看過電影《陽光燦爛的日子》裏,剛剛去網上讀了關於這部電影的相關介紹,摘錄了薑文片首處極為個人式的旁白。
“北京,變得這麽快:20年的工夫它已經成為了一個現代化的城市,我幾乎從中找不到任何記憶裏的東西。事實上,這種變化已經破壞了我的記憶,使我分不清幻覺和真實。
我的故事總是發生在夏天,炎熱的氣候使人們裸露得更多,也更難以掩飾心中的欲望。那時候好像永遠是夏天,太陽總是有空伴隨著我,陽光充足,太亮了,使我眼前一陣陣發黑……”
Good night,
Rebecca
電影《陽光燦爛的日子》裏當馬小軍在金燦燦的夕陽暮色下獨自一人徘徊於房簷屋頂之間,以及最後馬小軍被昔日的朋友們孤立後仰麵躺在空蕩蕩的遊泳池裏,背景裏都會響起一段優美舒緩而又帶點憂傷的樂曲,那是意大利作曲家馬斯卡尼(Mascagni,1963-1945)創作的獨幕歌劇《鄉村騎士》裏的一首間奏曲。
弦樂合奏出的溫暖而又傷感的旋律配上電影的慢鏡營造出了一種如夢如幻的氣氛,很好的表達出少年馬小軍青春期的孤獨與惆悵。據說薑文當年就是聽了這首樂曲之後才萌生了拍這部電影的念頭。
這段音樂還曾經出現在另外兩位大師級導演的電影裏。
馬丁·斯科塞斯的《憤怒的公牛 》(Raging Bull) 開場的慢鏡裏,羅伯特·德尼羅身披拳擊外套,獨自一人在拳台上躊躇滿誌的錯步揮拳。佛朗西斯·科波拉的《教父III》(The Godfather III)裏,艾爾·帕西諾飾演的第二代教父獨坐在幽暗的房間裏淒涼的垂首死去。這兩個電影鏡頭,同樣的配上了《鄉村騎士》間奏曲。
我在網上查到了意大利作曲家馬斯卡尼創作的獨幕歌劇《鄉村騎士》裏的間奏曲相關介紹,和你分享,供你參考。
《鄉村騎士》是意大利作曲家馬斯卡尼(Mascagni,1963-1945)創作的獨幕歌劇《鄉村騎士》裏的一首間奏曲,彼德羅·馬斯卡尼,26歲創作的《鄉村騎士》這部歌劇使他一舉成名,轟動整個歐洲,成為意大利著名的音樂家。
《鄉村騎士》以意大昨西西裏島普通農民的現實生活為素材,敘述了農民圖裏杜婚後仍與從前的女友羅拉來往,令他妻子桑圖紮非常憤怒。桑圖紮將此事告訴羅拉的丈夫,兩個男人決鬥,圖裏杜被殺。
歌劇《鄉材騎士》之所以能取得成功,其主要原因有三:一、它選擇了現實生活中的題材,反映了普通人民的生活,給人們留下極其深刻的印象;二、音樂描寫極其粗獷,而且歌詞與音樂也結合得十分協調,使之與劇情相適應;三:劇中所有的音樂都采用了意大利風格的優美旋律,這使馬斯卡尼的音樂天才在這部作品裏得到了最充分的施展。
《鄉村騎士》雖然是一部獨幕歌劇。其中卻不乏優秀的唱段和優美的旋律,其中陽為著名的就是那段《鄉村騎士》的幕間曲。另外,桑圖紮的詠歎調《聽我說,媽媽》和圖裏杜的詠調《媽媽,那些烈酒》等常在音樂會上演唱,深受歌劇愛好者的鍾愛。
《鄉村騎士》的村民合唱和間奏曲,合唱曲的明快,間奏曲的婉約,尤其是間奏曲格外甜美,突顯西西裏民歌風尚,弦樂如潺潺溪水,漸漸加入的豎琴等的彈撥,宛若溪水在晶亮的鵝卵石上跳躍,陽光在它們身上一閃一閃的,猶如小精靈一般款款飛舞,讓人沉浸在恬靜的夢境中。兩支曲子加起來才短短15分鍾,因為短而美,是世人都深深感觸到的“此時無聲而甚有聲”的境界,它可以將你帶到中世紀油畫般的鄉間和農舍中,去盡情地沐浴那個大師層出的時代所帶給你的暢想與歡樂。
