樂曲解說

此曲主題是歌仔戲的其中一個曲牌，屬於新調，名為「狀元樓」，又名「慶高中」。在六O年代，電視進駐各家庭，而電視歌仔戲也隨之興起，當時便創作了許多新的曲調以配合劇情中各種不同的需要，由於有別於過去常見的「七字調」、「都馬調」，因此這些新創作出來的曲牌就被統稱為「新調」，而他們往往也被拿來當作流行歌曲演唱。
本曲共分為三段，分別是：稍快、中板、極快。第一段配以固定的伴奏形式，將主題拆散、細分、反覆而成；第二段，以節慶的氣氛將主題完全呈現，清楚地表現出來，並以卡農、對位的技法譜寫；第三段較為激烈，主題再次被拆散，且與第一段完全不同，此段還譜寫了定音鼓的獨奏，並在結尾添加TOM TOM的華彩樂段。這首曲子的主題雖為調性，然而在和聲方面添加了許多不一樣的聲響；在打擊樂部分，也使用了許多西方的民俗樂器，讓曲子更添加風味，也一展幻想曲的多變性。

Rhapsody on a Theme of Taiwan Opera The Theme of this work,” Rhapsody on a Theme of Taiwan Opera”, which is one of the song of Taiwan Opera, belong to New Songs﹝新調﹞, named Chuang-Uian-Lou﹝狀元樓﹞or Ching-Kau-Chuong﹝慶高中﹞. In 60’s, by the TV’s popularization, the Taiwan Operas were introuded to everyone. So, a lot of songs were written by composers that time, cooperating the need in any kinds of the plots of the operas. In order to distinguish the ancient songs, we called these songs” New Songs”. This work was separated into three parts: they are” Allegro”─”Moderato”─”Vivace”. In the First part, I used the same patterns to accompany the melody, and using some technics such as Repetition, Diminution, and Sequence, etc. to recreate the theme. In the Second part, I would like this part festival-like, and you will hear the theme clearly,it performed in all kinds of ways. The Final part is intense. The Theme was separated again, but it is absolutely different from the first part. Besides, I also wrote the solo part for Timpani, and Tom-Tom showing their cool performing. Although this work is tonality, I made some different sounds in harmonic. And in the percussion parts, I tried to use Congas and Tom-Toms making different style and show any possibility of this traditional song. I deeply wish everyone will enjoy the joyfulness of the song.
