慈運理(Huldrych Zwingli, 1484-1531)是宗教改革時期,與馬丁路德(Martin Luther, 1483-1546)、加爾文(Jean Calvin, 1509-1564)並列的幾位改革者之一。臺灣因爲有不少路德教派的教會,加上後世透過巴赫(Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750)的馬丁路德音樂改編,一般對路德音樂並不陌生。而加爾文的韻文詩篇,近來也有幾篇論文刊出。倒是慈運理的音樂作品,對國人而言尚屬陌生。 本文將以瑞士聖詩學者顏尼(Markus Jenny, 1924-2001)歷經30年的研究成果爲依據,試圖針對近年來德語區的慈運理音樂研究、慈運理的音樂觀和音樂創作,做有系統的整理與分析,期能些微填補國內宗教改革音樂研究的空缺,爲日後宗教改革音樂的深入探討,略盡棉薄之力。
Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531), Martin Luther (1483-1546) and Jean Calvin (1509-1564) were three great reformers in the period of Church Reformer. In Taiwan, people are familiar with Lutheran music because of many established Lutheran churches here plus the arranged Lutheran musical works by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) afterwards. In regard to Calvin's Metrical Psalter, some papers have been seen in recent years. But, Zwingli's musical works are still quite strange to us. To make up this gap in studying on musical compositions of these three great reformers, the purpose of this paper is therefore trying to aim at systemizing and analyzing Zwingli's musical studies, opinions and compositions in German-speaking areas recently, based on 30-year-researched results of Markus Jenny (1924-2001), Swiss Hymnologist. Hopefully, this paper can provide some useful information for those who want to further study on the music of Reformation in the future.
