【音樂】 弦二協奏曲

“弦二”表達二胡的兩根弦，“弦二協奏曲”即是兩根弦所演奏出的音樂。這首協奏曲強調的是生活在現今社會中，一直接收不同的資訊與外來的刺激，使心靈、情緒、精神皆受到極大的起伏落差…。回想過去單純、簡單的生活，期望能沉溺在幻想的世界中，跳脫出現實的生活情緒。　　樂曲採傳統曲式「快－慢－快」三樂章型態，第一樂章的引子以小二度不斷重複音型，相同樂器在樂團兩側互相呼應、重疊音響。以京劇西皮旋律的素材來表達現代的衝突矛盾。第二樂章為兩段式，第一段呈現憂鬱的風格，第二段則節選台灣歌仔調與台灣民謠為旋律發展，並加入華彩變奏樂段。第三樂章為迴旋曲方式寫成，特別是在中間樂段轉入一個小二段體的浪漫旋律，象徵電影使用雙倍快轉技術帶過繁鎖的陳訴，最精采的部分又放慢播放那般，其後再回到快板的主題結束。（本曲榮獲文建會23年民族音樂創作獎，協奏曲組第三名。）
The erhu has only two strings, though it makes music that can express a great deal. This concerto attempts to emphasize how the various information and stimuli one receives in the modern society can create huge spiritual, emotional and mood fluctuations. It is with longing that we look back on the simple past, hoping to struggle free from reality and indulge forever in that fantasy world. The piece is in a traditional "fast-slow-fast" tri-movement form. In the introduction of the first movement, a repeating minor second figure is heard on the same instruments placed at cither sides of the orchestra, building up the sound. Materials drawn from a traditional opera melody express the conflicts and paradoxes ofmodernity. The second movement is in two sections. The first is melancholic in character； the second develops melodies extracted, from Taiwanese opera and folksongs with cadenza variations. The third movement is in rondo form, with a small binary romantic melody inserted in the middle. This structure is inspired by a technique used in movies that represents the mundane parts of a narrative at double-speed, but plays the highlights in the middle at normal or even slower speed.（This piece won Third Prize in the Erhu Concerto category at the 23 Council of Cultural Affairs Traditional Music Composition Contest.）
