女高音嚴翊樺演唱《 一池萍碎》@一色一香 " A Pond of Scattered Duck weeds"

作曲/composer:羅永暉 Law Wing-fai 女高音/Soprano:嚴翊樺 Margaret Yim 單簧管/Clarinet:梁志承 Leung Chi-shing 「一色一香」借著名崑劇藝術家孔愛萍的精湛戲曲功底,演繹多首意境深邃的中國古典詩詞,展現孔老師的唱腔、吟誦及舞韻的造詣。「一色一香」的舞台宛如一個靜謐清幽的園林,主角如玉漫步盤遊、遇物感興,逐步開展多番吟詠與唱誦。只覺目所見、耳所聞原是虛無縹緲,不過夢幻泡影,冉冉帶來生命的感悟與昇華。蓮台上,妙音琴弦輕掃,上師禪步引領下,如玉白衣飄袂,恬然在琵琶與吟唱聲中,進入靜觀默照的空寂境界。 「意境音樂劇場」是羅永暉近年的藝術創作意念與方向,藉現代劇場的表現手法及環繞著自然音色的中國樂器,結合詩、歌、樂、舞及各種視覺元素,營造耐人思酌的東方意境和韻味。首齣「落花無言」以敦煌意象出發,於2014年底上演,而「一色一香」則採用戲曲元素,作出另一番美感的探索與嘗試。 “Beyond the Senses” features the renowned Chinese Kunju opera artist Kong Aiping in her ground-breaking re-interpretation of classical Chinese poetry. Set against a serene garden, Kong, as the main character, wanders around and starts to recite and sing about the scenery around her. She eventually realizes that what she sees and hears are but illusory and unreal, and slowly comes to achieve enlightenment. On the stage, amidst the voice and light strums of the pipa, all enter into a realm of meditation and contemplation. ​ “Beyond the Senses” is composer Law Wing-fai’s second Atmospheric Music Theatre production, drawing its inspiration from Chinese Kunju opera. Utilizing multi-media elements such as poetry, songs, dance and visual elements to complement the natural timbres of Chinese musical instruments, Mr. Law’s “atmospheric music theatre” hopes to cultivate a mood for reflection as well as a taste of Oriental aesthetics. Presented by Wuji Ensemble, this production was premiered in Hong Kong in June 2016 to a full-house audience, and will now have a limited run in London for 1 performance only.
