樂曲解說

「台灣民謠映像」取材源於兩首早期台灣民謠：「望你早歸」以及「阮若打開心內的窗」。創作此曲來自於兩個動機：作曲者本身為台南一中校友管樂團常任指揮，特為該團首次於國家音樂廳演出之音樂會創作一首具有代表性的作品；另一動機乃作曲者任教國內大學音樂欣賞通識課時，有感於年輕一代學生對早期台灣民謠不甚熟悉，故選擇以此作為創作題材，祈願喚起年輕人對優美而寓意深遠的台灣民謠能有新的感動。

作曲者並未選擇數首台灣民謠串聯，而刻意選擇此兩首民謠做為素材，利用作曲手法將此兩首民謠巧妙連結。在音樂上，採用平行調的轉換（由f小調轉為F大調）來代表心境上的轉變；在動機上，兩首民謠開頭的前五個音，除了調性不同外，於音程上完全相同，有極高的相似性。故在曲中的銜接段落，作曲者刻意將這兩首的相同動機做了並列、重疊或切割的處理，最後一段則以多聲部對位做為結束。另外較為特別的是，作曲者在樂曲的開頭與銜接處，於音樂意境上使用許多留白。不同於一般西方管樂曲傾向厚重而飽滿的音響，作曲者希望這首樂曲可以讓聽眾有更多聽覺冥思的空間。

此外，作者還希望透過這個作品傳達某些寓意。第一段「望你早歸」象徵台灣人悲情的過去，但第二段「阮若打開心內的窗」則像徵台灣人在艱困的環境之下，仍不向命運低頭，終能打開心窗樂觀面對人生。作曲者祈願在優美的旋律深遠的寓意下，我們都能拋開過去的傷痛而迎向人生的光明面！

“Reflections of Taiwan Folk Songs” is based on two early Taiwan folk songs: “I Hope You Come Home Early” and “Ruan Ruo Opens the Window in his Heart.” The composer himself is the permanent conductor of Tainan No. 1 High School Alumni Wind Orchestra, and he created a representative piece for the orchestra’s first performance in the National Concert Hall; Another motivation is that when the composer taught the general music appreciation course in domestic universities, he felt that the young generation of students were not familiar with the early Taiwan folk songs, so he chose this as the theme of his creation, hoping to arouse the young people’s new touch to the beautiful and profound meaning of Taiwan folk songs.

The composer did not choose a number of Taiwan ballads in tandem, but deliberately chose these two ballads as the material, using composing techniques to connect these two ballads artfully. In music, the parallel key conversion (from f minor to F major) is used to represent the change of mood. In terms of motivation, the first five notes at the beginning of the two ballads, except for the difference in tone, are exactly the same in interval, and have a very high similarity. Therefore, in the cohesive paragraph of the song, the composer deliberately juxtaposed, overlapped or cut the same motive of the two songs, and the last paragraph ended with multi-part counterpoint. What is more special is that the composer uses a lot of white space in the musical conception at the beginning and the beginning of the music. Unlike the usual western wind music, which tends to be heavy and full of sound, the composer hopes that this piece will give the listener more room for auditory meditation.

In addition, the author also hopes to convey certain moral through this work. The first paragraph “I hope you will return early” symbolizes the sad past of the Taiwanese people, but the second paragraph “Ruan Ruo opens the window in his heart” is like the Taiwanese people under the difficult environment, still do not bow to the fate, and finally open the window to face life optimistically. The composer wishes that with the melody’s profound meaning, we can all put aside the pain of the past and turn to the bright side of life!
