樂曲解說

本曲旋律取自河北滄州民歌《對花》與《放風箏》，樂曲序奏以熱鬧而富有變化的節奏闖入，4/4拍、3/4拍、7/8拍交相輝映，進入以雙簧管為領奏的《對花》主題，與長笛和巴松管的齊奏構成一問一答的樂句性格，呼應歌詞中蘊含的問答趣味。隨著音樂織度逐漸密集，最後在一陣雷霆萬鈞的收束中進入行板樂段。

行板樂段所用的《放風箏》為起源於河北等地的傳統曲藝「蓮花落」，其中最具特色的音樂元素，莫過於使用「七件子」（右手擊打兩塊大竹板，左手擊打五塊小竹板）伴唱，在管樂團編曲中，編曲家巧妙地使用木魚和響板模仿七件子的演奏，伴奏著悠揚而溫婉的民歌主題；最後樂曲再次引入熱鬧的開場，以主題再現的方式結束這一首恢弘與雅緻兼具的民歌編曲。（羅夫著）

The melody of this piece is derived from the folk songs “Can You Guess What Flower It Is” and “Flying a Kite” from Cangzhou, Hebei Province. The music begins with a lively and varied rhythm, with 4/4, 3/4, and 7/8 beats alternating. It then transitions into the theme of ” Can You Guess What Flower It Is” led by the oboe, with a call-and-response structure between the flute and bassoon, echoing the playful question-and-answer nature of the lyrics. As the music develops, the texture becomes denser, culminating in a thunderous conclusion before transitioning into a moderate tempo section.

The moderate tempo section features “Flying a Kite,” originating from traditional folk art forms of “Lotus Falling” in Hebei and other regions. One of the most distinctive musical elements is the use of “seven pieces” (striking bamboo boards with both hands) as accompaniment. In the arrangement for concert band, the arranger cleverly uses woodblocks and xylophone to mimic the sound of the “seven pieces,” accompanying the melodious and gentle folk song theme. The piece concludes by reintroducing the lively opening theme, ending with a grand and elegant arrangement of the folk song.(Luo Fu Work)
