「水」作為自然界中普遍存在的物質，具有豐富的特徵及象徵意義。從古自今，許多文人藝術家在創作中喜歡透過水意象，以表達自己的情感、思想和觀念，為作品注入更加深刻且豐富的內涵。涵蓋水的文學藝術作品不計其數，而本文探討的軸心為笛曲中水的音樂形象塑造，故筆者特別選自以水作為創作主題之作品，分別是俞遜發《匯流》及任重《瀲灧》作為研究對象，並通過文獻蒐集、訪談及樂曲分析與詮釋加以探究。本文的結構大致可分為以下幾個部分：第一章主要闡述本文研究的思路、相關文獻的回顧及開展此研究應採取之作法；第二章通過梳理了解水與文學藝術的交融歷程，同時探索水與音樂間的關聯性；第三、四章重點闡述兩位作曲家的生平及創作歷程，並探析兩首樂曲的創作手法及演奏詮釋；第五章通過兩首作品比對，探討兩位作曲家塑造水的音樂形象手法上的異同；第六章總結出這項研究的目的及成果。經由此次研究，可充分瞭解水在樂曲中的體現，進而使筆者在演奏上能更富想像的詮釋出水的自然神韻。
Water, omnipresent in nature,carries with it a myriad of characteristics and symbolic interpretations. It has been an enduring source of inspiration for countless writers and artists from antiquity to the modern era, who express their emotions, thoughts, and ideas through the versatile imagery of water, thereby infusing their works with depth and richness. The exploration of water motifs in literature and art is vast, but this thesis narrows down the scope to the musical representation of water imagery in dizi compositions. Specifically, it investigates two water-themed dizi pieces –“Confluence”by Yu Xunfa and “Lianyun”by Ren Zhong. The research methodology includes literature review, interviews, and an analytical and interpretive study of the musical compositions.
This thesis is structured as follows: Chapter One outlines the research objectives, reviews the relevant literature, and articulates the research methodology. Chapter Two delves into the historical intertwining of water with arts and literature, and explores the connection between water and music. Chapters Three and Four offer a detailed account of the biographies and creative histories of the two composers, and provide an analysis of the compositional techniques and performance interpretations of the two works. Chapter Five juxtaposes the strategies employed by the two composers in crafting the musical imageryof water in their compositions. Finally, Chapter Six encapsulates the objectives and findings of this study.
This research enhances our understanding of how water is represented in music, thus empowering artists to interpret the natural allure of water with an enriched imagination in performance.
