诗神远游

作品说明

The song feels infinite in the air, the picture in the earth, the poem in the air and the earth; For its words have meaning that walks and music that soars. -- Tagor This art song collection features settings of Chinese and American poems exploring similar themes from different perspectives. Beginning with the renowned Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, the cycle explores recurring themes such as the moon, childhood, and spring. The vivid imagery in each poem suggests opportunities for various kinds of vocal settings. In the Chinese language, the word for "poetry" (诗歌) encompasses both poems and songs—revealing an inherent musicality in ancient Chinese literature. Nearly all classical Chinese poems were composed with the intention of being sung. In the realm of Western classical music, the art song offers a parallel form, where literature and music converge to create a deeply expressive medium. The cycle’s title is drawn from a book by Zhao Yiheng exploring cross-cultural dialogue between Chinese and American poetics, demonstrating how different languages and traditions shape—but also reflect—similar human experiences and perceptions of the world. 歌声在空中感得无限，图画在地上感得无限，诗呢，无论在空中，在地上都是如此；因为诗的词句含有能走动的意义与能飞翔的音乐。 --泰戈尔 这套艺术歌曲集以中美诗歌为背景，从不同视角探讨相似的主题。从唐代著名诗人李白开始，这套组诗探讨了月亮、童年和春天等反复出现的主题。每首诗中生动的意象都为各种声乐形式提供了可能性。 中文中的“诗歌”一词既包含诗歌，也包含歌曲，展现了中国古代文学与生俱来的音乐性。几乎所有中国古典诗歌的创作都是为了歌唱。在西方古典音乐领域，艺术歌曲提供了一种平行的形式，文学与音乐在此交融，创造出一种富有深度的表达媒介。 这套组诗的标题取自赵一衡的著作，该书探讨了中美诗歌的跨文化对话，展现了不同的语言和传统如何塑造——同时也反映了——相似的人类经验和对世界的感知。
