柯普蘭《阿帕拉契之春組曲 / 十三件樂器版本》之研究

柯普蘭(Aaron Copland, 1900－1990)是美國現代音樂史上重要的作曲家之一。當他開始創作音樂時，一般美國作曲家們正抓住偉大的德奧系統不放，美國音樂的特點還很薄弱。然而，此時柯普蘭卻已在心中思考：如何能創作出具有美國特色的音樂。 1943年他與名舞蹈家瑪莎．葛蘭姆（Martha Graham, 1894-1991)合作，寫下了一齣單幕芭蕾音樂《阿帕拉契之春(Appalachian Spring)》。雖然音樂形式簡單、旋律表達自然，卻能同時顧及音樂內涵的豐富性，因而大受美國大眾歡迎。自此之後，柯普蘭幾乎已經成為美國音樂的代名詞。《阿帕拉契之春組曲 / 十三件樂器版本(Appalachian Spring Suite / Version for 13 Instruments )》是柯普蘭從原來的芭蕾舞劇音樂中，選出較具音樂性的八個段落改編而成，段落間各具音樂特色，節奏以及和聲上變化多端，充分展現出二十世紀現代創作手法。此篇詮釋報告，筆者希望藉由文獻的整理及探討，延伸至作品的樂曲分析，以便對於這首美國音樂的代表性作品，能有組織架構上的完整了解。其次，藉由指揮技巧的分析，以及樂團排練的原則，將此樂曲做主體性的質性探討，期使進一步實際指揮演奏此曲時，能運用研究的心得，尋找令人感動的演奏現象。
