來聽上一張專輯The Milk-Eyed Mender中的"Sprout and the Bean"。很少聽到以豎琴為主調的流行歌曲呀。
Joanna Newsom, "Sprout and the Bean"
Sprout and the Bean
I slept all day
I woke with distaste
And I railed
And I raved
That the difference between
The sprout and the bean
It is a golden ring
It is a twisted string
And you can ask the counsellor
You can ask the king
And they'll say the same thing
And it's a funny thing
Should we go outside
Should we go outside
Should we break some bread
Are y'interested
And as I said
I slept as though dead
Dreaming seamless dreams
Of lead
When you go away
I am big-boned and fey
In the dust of the day
And in the dirt of the day
And the danger, danger drawing near them was a white coat
And the danger, danger drawing near them was a broad boat
And the water, water running clear beneath a white throat
And the hollow chatter of the talking of the tadpoles
Who know th'outside
Should we go outside
Should we break some bread
Are y'interested
非常有趣的曲子,大家聽聽看吧。這是曾經裸體(就是光溜溜)舉辦演奏會的鋼琴家顧爾達Friedrich Gulda創作的<<�大提琴與管樂團協奏曲>>Konzert für Violoncello und Blasorchester。這個編制酷吧,樂風也滿溢濃濃爵士色彩。早年以演繹貝多芬著稱的顧爾達晚年似乎比較鍾意爵士樂,會寫出這樣的曲子也不意外啊。
很好聽的,就當成被我拐聽聽看吧。
First Movement: I. Overture
Second Movement: II. Pastorale
Third Movement: III. Cadenza
Fourth Movement: IV. Menuet
Fifth Movement: V. Finale: March
這首曲子當初是顧爾達為大提琴家席夫Heinrich Schiff所寫。這裡擔綱大提琴的則是新生代的Gautier Capuçon,場合是阿姬舉辦的"Martha Argerich In Joyful Remembrance of Friedrich Gulda"顧爾達紀念音樂會。
