芭芭拉．約克(Barbara York, 1949- )，是二十一世紀美國著名的現代作曲家，她的作品形式多元，除了室內樂、鋼琴及樂器重奏的作品外，寫給管樂的獨奏曲更是數量眾多。其中芭芭拉．約克已出版的作品中低音號的作品數量高達十一首，是目前創作最多低音號作品的作曲家，而這首結合古典與藍調音樂的《低音號協奏曲：戰爭與謠言》(Concerto for Tuba“Wars and Rumors of War”)是芭芭拉．約克以親身經歷的故事加以創作，也讓這首協奏曲也成為低音號重要曲目之一。在國內外尚無出版關於芭芭拉．約克的相關書籍與網路資料，在資料缺乏的情況下，筆者透過芭芭拉．約克自己的個人部落格及書信往來的機會中了解她的生平、創作背景與理念。本篇詮釋報告將分為五章，第一章緒論說明研究動機、研究方法，第二章芭芭拉．約克生平與音樂風格的探討，第三章創作背景與樂曲結構分析；第四章演奏詮釋探討，第五章結語。
