樂曲解說

〈流浪者之歌〉又名《吉普賽之歌》。小提琴獨奏曲中不朽的名篇。薩拉薩蒂的作品自始至終十分講究效果和技巧，都是純粹的小提琴作品。這一首樂曲是薩拉薩蒂所有作品中最為世人所熟悉的名作，它那迴腸盪氣的傷感色彩與艱澀深奧的小提琴技巧所交織出來的絢爛效果，任何人聽後都會心蕩神馳不已。吉普賽民族在世界上分佈廣泛，起源於印度，是不定居的流浪民族，世世代代過著清苦而又飽受歧視的生活，但這個民族活潑、樂觀、能歌善舞。作者薩拉薩蒂運用十分恰當的手筆描寫了這一民族性格的幾個側面，並使小提琴的旋律性與演奏技巧性得到相當完美的結合。原曲為管絃樂伴奏，本曲為管樂團伴奏之版本，由香港知名作曲家游元慶所親自編配的，整曲效果突出，除了給小提琴獨奏外，也可以給低音木琴獨奏，更可以展現出此曲不同的風味。

Zigeunerweisen’, also known as “Gipsy Airs,” is an everlasting classic for violin. Pablo de Sarasate’s (1844-1908) composition for the violin highly demanded both the expression and technique. Zigeunerweisen is above all the most celebrated repertoire. Audiences overwhelmed by the magnificent acoustic with significant pathetic atmosphere and virtuosity of skill. Gypsies (called Romani nowadays) reside widely through the world, originate from the northern India subcontinent, persist a nomadic mode of living with generations under poverty and discrimination. Nevertheless, the ethnic group is still famous for its lively, optimistic character with great talent for music and dancing. The composer portrayed several aspects of Romani’s nature with appropriate arrangements, leads to the perfect combination of melodic and technique character of violin. The original version is with orchestra accompanied, the arrangement is for concert band, adapted by celebrated Hong Kong composer Yuen-hing Yau with a brilliant effect. The arrangement can also be adapted to Marimba solo, with distinct savour.
