馬勒《第二號交響曲》與其基督宗教之世界觀探究
A Study of Mahler's Second Symphony and His Worldview of Christianity
摘要
理解馬勒的音樂宜著手自他的世界觀，尤其是基督宗教的面向，他的猶太人特質與性格影響他看待世界的方式，並延伸為其世界觀點中的各種境界，《第二號交響曲》兼而有之，是窺其堂奧的佳例之一。馬勒以器樂也以文詞經營此交響曲：傳統中有創新的作曲手法以及文詞的簡潔使用互相襯托，參照《少年魔號》、Friedrich Klopstock（1724-1803）的《復活讚美詩》、他自己加增的填詞以及樂曲解說等，都有助於解析馬勒的世界觀。馬勒填詞中的「死而後能生」已然展現他的基督宗教的信念，末兩詩節則明言其成聖觀點。藉由分析《第二號交響曲》定能發掘音樂中涵括的死亡、復活與成聖歷程，一如馬勒在1893年所言：前兩闕交響曲凝淬了他所有的內省與生活歷練，用心領會或能洞悉馬勒的人生。

The task of understanding Mahler's music is best begun by examining his worldview, especially his Christianity. His Jewish heritage and personality influenced his perception of life, which incorporated elements of religion, art, and metaphysics. These elements were extended to the various realms of his worldview, and his second symphony, known as the Resurrection Symphony, excellently embodies the intersection of these realms. Mahler crafted this symphony with careful attention to both instrumentation and lyrics, allowing innovative composition techniques and traditional texts such as Des Knaben Wunderhorn and Klopstock's hymn ＂Auferstehung＂ to complement each other. His own additional lyrics and musical commentary are essential in understanding his worldview. While Mahler's creation of the line ＂I shall die to live!＂ clearly demonstrates his Christian faith, the last two stanzas express his perspective on apotheosis. Thus, the analysis of the Second Symphony aims to discover how Mahler expresses his worldview through musical composition; namely, his views on death, resurrection, and apotheosis. In 1893 Mahler claimed the in his first two symphonies he had written ＂in [his] own blood, everything that [he had] experienced and endured＂; just as he stated, these symphonies are essential embodiments of his individual thoughts and experiences, and a thorough examination of them will shed much light on Mahler's life.
