節目介紹 第一部有聲電影《爵士歌手》（The Jazz Singer）於1927年面世，在此之前近40年的「默片年 代」，電影都是無聲的。但「默片」並非真的完全無聲，每逢有電影上映，電影院都會安排在 現場配上音樂，由鋼琴或樂隊伴奏。因此聲音一直與影像相結合。不同的是，1927年以後的電 影，聲音是與電影一同播放的，而不是由電影院提供。現時興起了一股以管弦樂隊現場為電影 伴奏的潮流，不僅是復原那些「無聲」電影，即使今天的賣座電影都這樣做。它們的原聲配樂 被視為電影重要的組成部份。我們不得不承認，銀幕上炫人的影像也好，哀怨纏綿的場面也 好，加上龐大的管弦樂團伴奏，是最好不過的視聽享受。 難怪電影製作人除了特別委約古典樂作曲家（例如康高特和佛漢．威廉士）或專門的電影配樂 大師（例如近來的一批，包括霍爾納、哥德史密斯、蕭爾、艾夫曼以及今場有樂曲演奏的約 翰．威廉斯）為電影配樂外，還採用了著名的古典樂曲來配合他們的影像。在這場音樂會，我 們會一起聆聽這些作品，而且由盤古開始⋯⋯ 那時世界混沌一片。然後，一陣小號聲中，太陽正慢慢在一顆行星的邊沿出現，原本只是一線 曙光，最後光芒萬丈，普照四方。
李察．史特勞斯（1864–1949） 選自 《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》 I
序
1960年代末，寇比力克（Stanley Kubrick）正在拍 攝史詩式的科幻片《2001 太空漫遊》（2001: A Space Odyssey），他原本想委約諾爾夫（Alex North ，曾為寇比力克的《斯巴達克》一片配曲） 創作配樂，但後來卻採用了古典和當代的管弦樂和 合唱曲來呈現片中宏大的場景。匈牙利作曲家利蓋 第（György Ligeti）詭異的《安魂曲》被用以描述 月球上神秘的石板，還有小約翰．史特勞斯最著名 的圓舞曲《藍色多瑙河》（稍後再詳述）。開首昂揚 的號曲來自後浪漫主義時期的作曲家李察．史特勞 斯最早期的交響詩《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》。這首 音樂與片中的影像，都成為了時代的標誌。 在澎湃的銅管和沉重的定音鼓渲染下，寇比力克的 日出情景顯得更為壯觀。這也是因為李察．史特勞 斯這作品受到了尼采哲學的啟發，即凡人可變為超 人，也就是神，這一概念與寇比力克的科幻故事結 8
合得可說天衣無縫。《查拉圖斯特拉如是說》也許 是尼采最有名的著作，甚至讓史特勞斯為它寫了一 首半小時長的交響詩。
華格納（1813–1883） 選自《女武神》 女武神之騎 《2001 太空漫遊》面世後 10 年，美國導演哥普拉 （Francis Ford Coppola，其父是底特律交響樂團的 長笛手，也是一位電影配樂家）把握越戰的題材， 在1979年拍成了「幻影般」的電影《現代啟示錄》 （Apocalypse Now）。哥普拉同樣聰明地以音樂襯 托壯觀的場景，最好的例子是連串直升機在水面上 掠過的畫面，在此哥普拉採用了古典音樂中已經膾 炙人口的「女武神之騎」。 這首音樂來自華格納的四部系列歌劇《尼伯龍的指 環》（The Ring of the Nibelung）中第二部的第三
幕，即最後一幕，其中一位女主角是布倫希特 （Brünnhilde），她是神王沃旦（Wotan）與土地女 神所生的長女，她和她的八個妹妹都是女武神 （Valkyrie，德語die Walküre），職責是將在戰鬥中 死去的英雄帶到瓦爾哈拉（Valhalla）神殿。華格 納的第二部歌劇就是以她們為題。女武神本身的名 �有��選戰死者的神�的��。在這�，華格納 音樂的場景設在一塊大石上，女武神乘著飛馬，在 戰場上檢拾陣亡武士的遺骸。
莫扎特（1756–1791）
至於哪一部電影採用了這首音樂呢？說起來還真不 少。首先是法國新浪潮導演高達（Jean-Luc Godard） 的 經 典 之 作 《 斷 了 氣 》（ A Bout de S o u f f l e ）， 然 後 是 荷 里 活 製 作 的 《 綠 卡 情 緣 》 （Green Card） ，述說一位法國人嘗試在美國居留， 以及《天魔特攻 2 ：鬼魅兵團》（Hellboy II: The Golden Army）。還有薛尼波勒（Sidney Pollack） 導演、羅拔烈福和梅麗史翠普主演，獲得 1985 年 奧斯卡金像獎的《非洲之旅》（Out of Africa）。 巴利（John Barry）為影片創作了配樂，但莫扎特 的單簧管協奏曲卻用於全片最浪漫的一刻：來自 ��的獨身女�逃到了��，在那��到了�地的 獵人，兩人開始墮入愛河。
選自 A大調單簧管協奏曲，
K622 II 慢板
作為古典音樂最偉大的作曲家之一，莫扎特的作品 被選作電影配樂一點也不奇怪。例如 1967 年，瑞 典導演威德伯格（Bo Widerberg）成功的藝術片 《今生今世》（Elvira Madigan） ，就採用了莫扎特第 21 鋼琴協奏曲的慢樂章，而樂曲也因為這套電影 而廣為人知。但我們演奏的慢樂章來自莫扎特最後 創作的一首協奏曲，即單簧管協奏曲的第二樂章。 這部作品寫於莫扎特臨終那年，是為朋友斯塔德勒 （Anton Stadler， 1753-1812）寫的，之前莫扎特 也曾為他寫過單簧管三重奏、單簧管五重奏以及歌 劇《狄托的仁慈》（La Clemenza di Tito）中的單簧 管和巴賽特單簧管（basset clarinet ，較現代單簧 管長，可以吹奏較低音域）的部份，這部歌劇在 1791年9月5日於布拉格首演，斯塔德勒正是演奏 者之一。 單簧管協奏曲事實上是為巴賽特單簧管而寫的。莫 扎特於 1791 年 10 月 7 日寫給妻子的信中提及正在 埋首撰寫最後的迴旋曲樂章。 D 大調的第二樂章 （慢板）像絲絨一樣順滑，獨奏者一吹出主題就馬 上令人沉醉其中。在擺蕩的弦樂伴隨下，樂曲進一 步鋪展開來，像柔和的歌劇詠嘆調一樣情深款款 （如《女人�》��其中一段，四位主角之一在愛 的幻想之中如痴如醉）。短暫的 A 大調中段讓出空 間使獨奏者得以炫耀跳音和裝飾音。結尾則回到開 首莊重、簡樸而充滿嚮往的主題。
柴可夫斯基（1840–1893） 我們以俄國作曲家柴可夫斯基的作品結束音樂會的 上半場。他的芭蕾舞劇《天鵝湖》和《羅密歐與茱 麗葉》幻想序曲都是根據愛情悲劇改編的，而他情 感充沛的音樂也成為了電影導演們採用的對象。
選自 《天鵝湖》組曲 I 第二幕場景 III 小天鵝之舞
柴可夫斯基創作了三部芭蕾舞劇音樂，第一部便是 《天鵝湖》（其他兩部是《睡美人》和《胡桃夾 子》）。 1875 年，他受莫斯科皇家劇院的總監委約 創作此劇，主題可能來自柴可夫斯基四年前為外甥 們的家庭演出撰寫的故事，那時他的弟弟穆迪斯特 （Modest）在劇中飾演王子。 齊格飛（Siegfried）王子在黃昏打獵的途中，看到 一群天鵝變成少女，他愛上了其中的公主奧杰塔 （Odette）。她告訴王子，她和她的同伴被邪惡的繼 母與惡魔羅特巴爾德（Rothbart）下了魔咒，只有 以死為盟誓的婚約才可以解除。她們只能在晚上回 復人身，白天則變成天鵝。在定親舞會上，齊格飛 被惡魔和他女兒奧吉利婭（Odile）騙了，他在跳 起民族舞蹈的時候，向假裝成奧杰塔的奧吉利婭求 婚。後來惡魔與奧吉利婭逃走，而以為被出賣的奧 杰塔也離開了。齊格飛冒著風暴去找她，但她最後 9
卻在他懷中傷心地死去。湖水在黎明時淹沒了他 們，而奧杰塔的同伴再次變成了天鵝。
柴可夫斯基的作品明顯沒有完全依照莎士比亞原作 的故事脈絡，但卻能將該套悲劇最哀感頑艷的氣氛 表現出來：當一對不幸的戀人命喪黃泉之後，兩個 敵對的家族才意識到錯誤，停止了他們的爭鬥。樂 曲開展之後不久，我們會聽到一段簡單的管樂聖詠 般的四部合奏，代表幫助羅密歐與茱麗葉的那位教 士，然後是一段由刺促的和弦引進的 B 小調的快 板，代表那兩個敵對的家族。斷斷續續的圓號襯托 著中提琴和英國管的獨奏，奏出著名的降D大調愛 情主題。教士主題和愛情主題再交替出現，之後巴 松管、中提琴和大提琴在沉重的定音鼓聲之上哀怨 地奏出由愛情主題演變出來的旋律⋯⋯最後樂曲由 四下極強的B大調和弦劃上句號。
《天鵝湖》在1877年 3 月舉行首演，觀眾反應不冷 不熱，但後來該劇卻成為經典的芭蕾舞目，受到 觀眾的熱烈歡迎。很自然地，任何值得一看的、 關於芭蕾舞的電影都會採用其中的選段。此處只 舉五個例子：從 1940 年代起，就有《魂斷藍橋》 （Waterloo Bridge ， 1940 年，由慧雲李和羅拔泰 萊主演）以及著名的奧斯卡得獎電影《紅菱艷》 （The Red Shoes ， 1948 年，由莫伊拉．希勒主 演），後者講述一位飽受折磨的女芭蕾舞蹈員要面 對殘酷的現實（起初她以為未婚夫死了，情緒極 為低落，後來又要在愛情與事業之間作出選擇）。 哪齣電影採用過這部作品為配樂呢？首先有庫克 60年後，則有達爾德里（Stephen Daldry）執導的 《跳出我天地》（Billy Elliot，2000年，占美．貝爾 （Georg Cukor）在1936年執導的《羅密歐與茱麗 葉》。大家也許覺得奇怪，較近期改編自莎士比亞 主演），講述一位出身自工人家庭的男孩如何努力 這部愛情悲劇的電影都沒有採用柴可夫斯基的作 成為芭蕾舞蹈員。該片最後一幕，便是男孩長大 品，但它卻在其他電影�出現，有些電影的題材� 後，在倫敦的舞台上飾演富有男子氣概的天鵝， 乎與它沒有什麼關係，包括《浴血滾球場》 他的父親和兄弟也出現在觀眾席上。然後有《最 後的舞者》（Mao’s Last Dancer ，2009年），這是 （Rollerball ， 1975）、《反斗智多星》（Wayne’s World）第一及第二集，甚至占士邦片《鐵金剛勇 根據李存信的真人真事改編。李存信從中國的農 破太空城》（Moonraker，1979） ！ 村中被選拔學習芭蕾舞，最後在侯斯頓和澳洲的 芭蕾舞團擔任領舞。 2010 年，又有阿羅諾夫斯基 （Darren Aronofsky）執導的《黑天鵝》（Black Swan），它又回到《紅菱艷》那種關於備受折磨的 藝術家的題材。 莫扎特（1756–1791）
選自 G小調第25交響曲，K183
《羅密歐與茱麗葉》幻想序曲 柴可夫斯基的《羅密歐與茱麗葉》乃根據莎士比亞 的名著而創作，是史上最著名的古典音樂作品之 一。樂曲原來有三個版本，最後一個版本是最著名 的。 1869 年，業餘作曲家巴拉基列夫（Mily Balakirev）不但向柴可夫斯基提議採用這部莎士比 亞名著來創作一套交響樂作品，而且還把自己對曲 式，甚至曲調的意見，也一併向他提出，結果柴可 夫斯基還真的採用了那些音調。但在開始時柴可夫 斯基或許覺得有點困難，但被巴拉基列夫呵責一番 後，柴可夫斯基六星期後就完成了這套作品， 1870 年 3 月 16 日首演不久，柴可夫斯基便修改了 作品，十年之後他又重新改寫。 10

《羅密歐與茱麗葉》的主題橫跨了中場休息，下半 場開首的節目，就出現於 1996 年雷曼（Baz Luhrmann）執導的《羅密歐與茱麗葉之後現代激 情篇》，由狄卡比奧（Leonardo DiCaprio）和克萊 爾．丹妮絲（Claire Danes）分飾主角。莫扎特的 音樂充滿戲劇性，絲毫沒有鬆懈的一刻，因此相當 適合雷曼這部有關現代美國的影片，故事發生在維 羅納沙灘（Verona Beach），描述年青幫會成員的 鬥爭。 但作品也出現於著名的傳記式古典音樂電影《莫扎 特傳》。它講述莫扎特的天才受到另一位宮廷作曲 家的嫉妒。這部電影原本是彼得．謝弗爾（Peter Shaffer）大獲好評的劇作，它在 1979 年於倫敦的
國家劇院上演時，令觀眾嘆為觀止，後來又在倫 敦西區和紐約百老匯出盡風頭。故事從莫扎特幼 年開始，一直說到這位放縱不羈的作曲家最後潦 倒而死，薩里埃利（Antonio Salieri）則將他視為 競爭對手。電影中，薩里埃利在晚年聲稱毒害了 莫扎特，但卻承認莫扎特是更偉大的作曲家。 1984 年根據此劇製作的電影，在一絲不苟的資深 導演霍曼（Miloš Forman，他在今年4月去世）執 導下，每個角色都顯得甚為飽滿。 謝弗爾和劇作原來的導演霍爾爵士（Sir Peter Hall） 以及霍曼都用上了好些莫扎特作品。我們演奏的是 莫扎特第 25 交響曲的首樂章。作品寫於 1773 年 末，霍曼將之用於電影的序幕。樂曲開頭緊湊、充 滿動力的切分音節奏和 G 小調（在莫扎特所有的交 響曲中，只有兩首採用了小調，這是第一首），恰 如其份地為莫扎特短暫而悲劇的一生設定了基調。
巴伯（1910–1981）
弦樂慢板 我們的節目表上，此前只有《現代啟示錄》一部 電影是關於戰爭的。我們現在再次回到這個題 材。這首作品彷彿是回憶的同義詞，它充滿了沉 思的味道，雖然故事的背景是和平時代，卻又讓 人忐忑不安。 美國作曲家巴伯 1936 年撰寫此曲時，正憑普立茲 獎學金，在大西洋另一端的羅馬美國學院進修， 當時他創作了弦樂四重奏（作品11），其中的第二 亦即最後一個樂章是一首令人迷醉的降B小調「甚 慢板」。樂曲在平穩的四分音節奏支持下，逐漸推 向高潮，最後淒婉地終結。之前的第一樂章是B小 調忙碌的快板，意大利指揮家托斯卡尼尼（Arturo Toscanini ， 1935 年作曲家梅諾蒂將他介紹給巴伯 認識）後來建議巴伯將這個樂章改編成獨立的弦 樂作品。
曲，911恐怖襲擊後的紀念活動同樣採用了這首作 品。神聖莊嚴的樂音，又啟發了巴伯在 1967 年將 旋律配上《羔羊頌》（Agnus Dei），成為一個合唱 版本。 1986 年，在奧利華．史東（Oliver Stone）執導 的、慘烈的電影《殺戮戰場》（Platoon）中，巴伯 舒緩的樂曲與悲傷的戰爭場景形成鮮明的對比， 查理辛（Charlie Sheen）飾演的泰萊（Chris Taylor） 前�越�執行第一次�事��，在那�他的�戰 排隊友比起越共更為殘酷，也成為了他的敵人。
小約翰．史特勞斯（1825–1899）
《藍色多瑙河》，作品314 現在讓時光倒流，我們回到本場音樂會的第一部 電影，寇比力克的《2001太空漫遊》，當一個原始 人把骨頭拋開的瞬間，它神奇地變成了一艘長型 的太空船，圍繞地球運轉。此時，電影配上了小 約翰．史特勞斯的《藍色多瑙河》。寇比力克及其 設計特別效果的團隊又把鏡頭一轉，再帶出另一 個飛行物，顯然這是地球軌道上的太空站，而莊 嚴的圓舞曲則烘托出銀河系的廣闊無邊。 《藍色多瑙河》以合唱曲展開它的生命， 1867 年 2月首演時，是為維也納的男聲合唱協會創作的， 而蹩腳的歌詞則由一位叫做魏爾（Josef Weyl）的 文職警察和業餘歌手所寫，內容是讚美在維也納 新近建成的弧形街燈（維也納，多快樂/ 我讚美你 的甚麼？ / 弧形街燈 / 這兒仍是那麼黑暗！）。 直到貝克（Karl Beck）為之重新撰寫了有關多瑙 河的歌詞，甚至作純音樂演奏時，這首作品才變 得膾炙人口。
托斯卡尼尼繼而在 1938 年 11 月 5 日於紐約指揮首 演了作品的擴大版，馬上得到了聽眾的讚賞。其 後在二次大戰多次的國家悼念儀式，以及羅斯福 總統、甘迺迪總統的葬禮上它都被指定為葬禮 11
約翰．威廉斯（1932年生） 選自《星球大戰》組曲 I 主題音樂 III 帝國進行曲 V 大殿及結尾曲 這場音樂會最後一套樂曲，原本就是為電影撰寫 的。美國作曲家約翰．威廉斯的成就，遠遠不止 於電影配樂，他對現今的管弦樂創作也頗有影響 力。他和史提芬．史匹堡的合作為人稱道（例如 《大白鯊》、 《奪寶奇兵》 、 《侏羅紀公園》等等），另 外他為盧卡斯的《星球大戰》撰寫的配樂，也膾 炙人口。這原來是一部低成本的製作，卻風靡全 球，現在還一直在拍續集，還有獨立成章的星戰 故事。大家準備好回到「遙遠的時空」了嗎？讓 我們一起啟程吧！ 大家對劇情一定很熟悉，它講的是邪不能勝正，小 人物打倒了強大的帝國，我們眼前是一個個英雄、 英雌，例如天行者路克、他的老師奧比旺．肯諾 比、莉亞公主、浪人漢索羅，還有一些討人喜愛的 非人類角色：尤達、R2D2、C3PO和丘巴卡。 1999年，首部影片面世20週年的時候，被重新命 名為《四：新希望》，星戰前傳系列也開始陸續推 出。由於首三部星戰電影均甚受歡迎，約翰．威 廉斯在 1997 年將配樂改編為五個樂章的組曲，搬 到音樂會演出。我們選取了其中三個樂章來結束 這場音樂會。 開首的主題音樂，在一輪號曲之後，把我們直接 帶到由簡單的方程式組成的主題：兩下長音，一 組較快的三連音，一個長音再來一個短音。整段 進行曲重複之前，是一段簡短的弦樂，由敲擊樂 以其無間斷的節奏支持，但音樂最後逐漸消散， 像霍爾斯特（Gustav Holst）詭異的「土星」 （這是 《行星》組曲�的一章，���有�於�空的音樂 都從此曲得到啟發）。然後敲擊樂再次出現（就如 霍爾斯特的「火星」那樣），進行曲也重複了一 遍。最後大提琴帶領的、較短的莉亞公主主題打 斷了進行曲，但進行曲並沒有完全消失，隨即又 在曲末湧現（之前有一段彷如西貝遼士作品的弦 樂頌歌）。 12
第三樂章「帝國進行曲」出現於第二部電影《帝 國反擊戰》中，黑武士維達在音樂的襯托下登 場。敲擊樂和弦樂敲出了「火星」一曲般的節 奏，銅管樂則吹奏出進行曲的主題，就算後來的 配器較為稀薄，也不能將之掩蓋。音樂蘊含著一 種壓迫的、危機四伏的感覺，特別在圓號隆隆響 起的時候。 最後我們適切地回到第一部電影最末的場景。當 反抗軍推毀了維達的死亡星球後，天行者和漢索 羅回到雅汶四號衛星，在大殿受到萊亞公主授與 英雄勳章。很自然地，樂曲是以號曲展開，由敲 擊樂和尖銳的弦樂襯托。它就像典型的英國維多 利亞和愛德華時期的進行曲那樣，採用了艾爾加 《威風凜凜》（Pomp and Circumstance）進行曲和 沃爾頓（Walton）的兩首加冕進行曲的風格。威 廉斯在此為我們寫出了厚重的、更為流暢的弦樂 主題，圓號在其上方帶出了影片的主旋律。雙簧 管和長笛獨奏，在粼粼的小提琴、大提琴以及低 音大提琴的撥弦伴奏下，改變了樂曲的情調，但 及後音樂再次趨向莊嚴，以影片的一系列主題曲 收結。實際上這是對標題音樂的呼應，進行曲、 莉亞公主的主題以及最後的衝刺把全曲帶到了 結尾。

Programme Notes Only after the “Talkies” came in, with The Jazz Singer in 1927, was the previous near 40-year history of the “moving picture” termed the “Silent Movie” era. But they had never really been “silent” because whenever there was a moving picture show, there was sound – whether provided by lonely pianist or bigger ensemble. Sound was always integral to the spectacle. And the only difference after 1927 was that the sound came with the moving picture, and was not provided by the cinema proprietor. Even more curious, then, the current craze of showing films with live orchestral accompaniment – and not just restored “Silent” movies, but the latest blockbusters too, their musical soundtracks recognised as an important, integral part of the whole. And let’s face it, there can be no better match for the visual splendour on screen than a whole orchestra playing at full tilt one moment and with hushed, intense intimacy the next. So it is no surprise that, as well as commissioning new scores from classical composers (Korngold, Vaughan Williams and the like) and specialist film composers (such as the current crop: James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith, Howard Shore, Danny Elfman and, as we will hear, John Williams), directors have mined the catalogue of great classical works to accompany their images. That is what we will investigate in this performances, starting at the very beginning of time.... It all starts in darkness then, at the sound of the trumpet, you can see the edge of the sun appearing over a planet, coming out of an eclipse with streams of light blinding in every direction.
Richard Strauss (1864–1949) From Also Sprach Zarathustra I Introduction
In the late 1960s, when Stanley Kubrick was filming his epic science-fiction film 2001: A Space Odyssey, he had intended it to have a specially composed score by Alex North (who had worked with Kubrick on Spartacus). However in the end Kubrick opted for classical, contemporary orchestral and choral music to underpin the big scenes of the film. In addition to Hungarian composer György Ligeti’s eerie Requiem used for the unveiling of the mysterious stone slab on the moon and Johann Strauss’ most famous waltz, On the Beautiful Blue Danube (more of that later),
Kubrick used the slow fanfare from the very opening of Also Sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spake Zarathustra) by German late-Romantic composer Richard Strauss for his title sequence. The music, together with the image, has become iconic. Kubrick’s solar dawn becomes even more spectacular backed by Strauss’ swelling brass and pounding timpani, all the more so because Strauss’ inspiration was philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s idea of man evolving into superman, literally becoming God, which ties well into Kubrick’s science fiction vision. Also Sprach Zarathustra is perhaps Nietzsche’s most famous publication, not least because Strauss fashioned a half-hour orchestral tone poem out of it. 13
Richard Wagner (1813–1883) From Die Walkure Ride of the Valkyries In 1979, just over a decade after 2001’s 1968 release, American director Francis Ford Coppola (whose father Carmine was both a flautist in the Detroit Symphony and a film composer himself), took the Vietnam War by the scruff of its neck and fashioned it into a “phantasmagorical ride” of a film, Apocalypse Now. Amidst the spectacular imagery Coppola also cleverly used music, no better than in the sequence of a flight of helicopters coming in over the water, which Coppola accompanied with an already popular piece of classical music, Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries. Originally, this stirring music comes from the opening of the final (third) act of Wagner’s second instalment of his epic four-opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung. One of the main characters is Brünnhilde, the eldest daughter of the god Wotan by the Earth Goddess, Erde. She and her eight sisters are the Valkyries and Wagner’s second opera in the cycle is named after Brünnhilde as the eldest Valkyrie (in German, die Walküre). The name literally means “choosers of the slain” and when humans die in battle, the Valkyries take the dead heroes to Valhalla. Wagner’s music here sets the scene atop a rock as the Valkyries, on their flying horses, collecting dead warriors from the battlefield.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) From Clarinet Concerto in A,
K622
II Adagio
There can be no surprise that the classical composer par excellence, one Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, has often been adopted for use in film. Indeed one instance – in 1967, for Bo Widerberg’s Swedish art-house cinema success Elvira Madigan – Mozart’s Piano Concerto No 21 is now popularly 14
known by the film’s title, because of Widerberg’s use of Mozart’s exquisite, tender slow movement. But we hear the slow movement of Mozart’s last concerto – the one for clarinet – composed in the last year of his life for his friend Anton Stadler (1753–1812), for whom he had already written the Clarinet Trio, the Clarinet Quintet and the clarinet and basset-horn obbligato parts in La Clemenza di Tito, which Stadler played at the première in Prague on 5 September 1791. The concerto – actually for basset clarinet (which adds four semitones to the bass of the normal clarinet’s range) – was Mozart’s last completed piece, writing to his wife on 7 October 1791 to his wife Constanze that he was orchestrating the final Rondo. The slow, middle movement, an Adagio in D major, is silky smooth and rapt with the soloist introducing the theme immediately, over rocking strings before unfolding the music with ever more elaboration. It is like a gentle operatic aria, full of feeling (from Così Fan Tutte, perhaps, where one of the four young protagonists is lost in an amorous reverie, misplaced or otherwise). The middle section, briefly in A, allows the soloist more space to shine, with jumps and ornamentations, before eventually returning to the sublime simplicity of the opening, yearning theme. And so which films use this music? Well, amidst a whole host, including Jean-Luc Godard’s classic of the New French Wave, A Bout de Souffle (Breathless), Hollywood’s take on a Frenchman (Gérard Depardieu) trying to get permission to stay in the US, Green Card, and even Hellboy II: The Golden Army, there is Sidney Pollack’s Oscar-winning 1985 romantic blockbuster starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep: Out of Africa. It was John Barry who composed the film score, but it was Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto that accompanied the most tender moments of the burgeoning love affair between Danish spinster Karen von Blixen escaping to Kenya and local big-game hunter, Denys Finch Hatton.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) We end the first half with pieces by Russian composer Tchaikovsky. Both his ballet The Swan Lake and his fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet are based on dramatic stories encompassing tragic love affairs, and his emotional music has provided rich pickings for film directors.
From The Swan Lake Suite I Scene from Act II III Dance of the Little Swans
The first of Tchaikovsky’s three ballet scores (The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker followed), The Swan Lake was a commission in 1875 for a full-length ballet from the directors of the Imperial Theatres, Moscow, and the subject may well have been developed from a family entertainment that Tchaikovsky had devised four years earlier for his sister’s children on a similar theme, when his brother Modest played the Prince. Prince Siegfried, while out hunting at dusk, sees a flock of swans turn into maidens and he falls in love with Odette, the swan princess. She tells him that only a marriage vow made under the threat of death can release her from the spell that her evil stepmother and Rothbart have put on her and her companions, which leaves them only to resume human form during the night, spending the daylight hours in the form of swans. But, at his betrothal ball, Siegfried is tricked by Rothbart and Odile. The Prince, during the national dances, proposes to Odile who is disguised as Odette. Rothbart and Odile flee, as does the real Odette, believing she has been betrayed. Siegfried fights his way through a storm to find her, but she dies of grief in his arms and the waters of the lake rise over both of them as the dawn breaks and Odette’s companions once again appear as swans. While its première, in March 1877, was rather tepidly received, it has since become one of the mainstays of any ballet company and ever-popular
with audiences. Not surprisingly any ballet film worth its salt is likely to include excerpts from it. I will mention just five. From the 1940s, both Waterloo Bridge (1940), with Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor, and Powell and Pressburger’s famous Oscar-winner The Red Shoes (1948), starring Moira Shearer, have a tortured ballerina facing up to harsh realities (in the first thinking her fiancé is dead and falling into destitution; in the latter finding herself torn between her vocation and her lover). From 60 years later we have Billy Elliot (2000), directed by Stephen Daldry and starring Jamie Bell, which follows the persistence of a young working class boy to make it to the top of his profession: the final overwhelming scene is the adult dancer taking his place as a virile swan on the London stage, with his father and brother in the audience. Mao’s Last Dancer (2009) is a similar, real-life story following the life of Li Cun-xin who was plucked from a Chinese village to study ballet, eventually dancing as a principal in both Houston and Australian Ballets. In 2010, Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan returned to the tortured artist motif, channelling The Red Shoes.
Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture Perhaps one of the most famous of all pieces of classical music, Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet – based on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy – actually exists in three versions, although it is the last that is the famous one. Encouraged in 1869 by the amateur composer Mily Balakirev, who not only suggested the subject of Verona’s tragic lovers to Tchaikovsky but also freely offered ideas as to the form it should take and what keys to use (which Tchaikovsky did stick to), Tchaikovsky prevaricated to start, but after Balakirev’s chiding, completed the work in six weeks. After the première on 16 March 1870, Tchaikovsky immediately revised it and did so again 10 years later.
15
Rather than following Shakespeare’s story explicitly, Tchaikovsky evokes the atmosphere of this timeless tale of the young, star-crossed lovers coming from rival families. The opening wind chorale begins the work in simple four-part harmony, which depicts Friar Laurence (the priest who helps and marries Romeo and Juliet), before stabbing chords open a fast (Allegro) section in Balakirev’s favourite key, B minor. This represents the feuding families and it reappears throughout the piece. Next comes the famous “love” theme in D-flat major, for solo English horn – from the oboe family – and violas, with a pulsing horn call beneath. This reappears (in D major) after the Friar’s theme has acted as a counterpoint to the feuding theme. The feud appears one last time before dying away, leaving only a funereal timpani tread over which bassoons, violas and cellos intone a tragic variant of the love theme... Four fortissimo bars of B major chords end the work. And where can you hear it in the cinema? Well there is Georg Cukor’s 1936 Romeo and Juliet with a starry cast of Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard in the title roles, along with John Barrymore (Mercutio) and Basil Rathbone (Tybalt). You may find it odd that more recent cinematic versions of Shakespeare’s “star-crossed lovers” do not use it; but other films have, including some unlikely candidates given the nature of the music: Rollerball (1975), Wayne’s World I and II (1992 and 1993 respectively) and even James Bond in Moonraker (1979)!
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) From Symphony No 25
in G minor, K183 I Allegro con brio
Romeo and Juliet straddles the interval, as the music that opens the second half was featured by Baz Luhrmann in his version Romeo + Juliet in 1996, with the lovers played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Mozart’s music of high drama, which never lets up its pace, seems perfectly to match Luhrmann’s updating to modern-day America, as the background to the warring youth gangs of Verona Beach. But it also featured in perhaps classical music’s most famous biopic, Amadeus, which saw the life Mozart through the envious eyes of another court composer. First an acclaimed stage hit by Peter Shaffer, which wowed London’s National Theatre audiences in 1979 then took the West End and Broadway by storm, plotted the genius and wilful (almost childish) character of Mozart to his poverty-stricken death, as seen through the eyes of a self-confessed compositional rival, one Antonio Salieri (played on stage by Paul Schofield, Ian MacKellen and Frank Finlay among others) – who in old age claimed he had poisoned Mozart as only he recognised he was a greater composer. The 1984 film, opulently designed under the critical eye of veteran director Miloš Forman (who died in April this year), had F Murray Abraham as the scheming Salieri and Tom Hulce as Mozart. Shaffer, the play’s original director Sir Peter Hall and film director Miloš Forman all used a number of Mozart’s works. We hear the opening movement to Mozart’s Symphony No 25, composed in late 1773, which Forman used at the beginning of his film. From the urgent, propulsive opening syncopated rhythm and the minor key (G minor) – the first of only two in his whole symphonic output in a minor key, this aptly sets the scene for Mozart’s tragically short life.

Samuel Barber (1910–1981)
Johann Strauss Jr (1825–1899)
Adagio for Strings
On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Op 314
Only one of our previous films has been about war (Apocalypse Now), but we return to that subject with our next piece. Indeed it has become synonymous with remembrance, given its contemplative balm, even though it was conceived in albeit uneasy peacetime. American composer Samuel Barber composed what we know as his Adagio for Strings in Rome in 1936, where he was studying at the American Academy in Rome on a Pulitzer fellowship. It was originally the second, final movement of his String Quartet, Op 11. This rapt but uplifting B-flat minor Molto Adagio (with its steady even-crotchet underpinning, slow burn to the central climax and heartfelt dying away) followed a bustling B minor Allegro, but it was the conductor Arturo Toscanini (to whom Barber had been introduced in 1935 by fellow composer Gian Carlo Menotti) who suggested that Barber should arrange the Adagio for full string forces. Toscanini himself conducted the première of this expanded version in New York on 5 November 1938 and – although it was an immediate success – its adoption for occasions of national bereavement during the Second World War, and later at the memorial services for both Presidents Roosevelt and Kennedy ensured its particular place in the repertoire. The aftermath of the shocking events of 11 September 2001 was a case in point, and the spiritual nature of the music inspired Barber himself in 1967 to set to it the words of the Latin Agnus Dei for chorus. In Oliver Stone’s harrowing 1986 film Platoon, Barber’s soothing music contrasts with the psychological battles Charlie Sheen’s naive Chris Taylor has to withstand on his first military posting to Vietnam, where his platoon is more of an enemy than the Vietcong.
Now we find ourselves in a time-warp, as we return to our first film, Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and to that pivotal movement when the bone thrown by one of the early hominids miraculous turns into a long space craft orbiting earth, all to the strains of Johan Strauss Junior’s waltz The Blue Danube. Kubrick and his special effects team (surely never bettered) pan back to take in other craft, notably the orbiting space station, in some stately galactic waltz. Yet at its première in February 1867, The Blue Danube was a choral waltz, and – bizarrely now because it is so popular – was not very successful. Unveiled by the Viennese Men’s Choral Association it boasted somewhat crass lyrics by Josef Weyl, a police clerk and amateur singer, praising the recent introduction of arc lights on the streets (Vienna, be gay/And what for, I pray?/The light of the arc/Here it’s still dark!), but when it was supplied with new lyrics (by Karl Beck) about the Danube and then, particularly, when played without words, it became perhaps the most famous waltz of all.
John Williams (born 1932) From Star Wars Suite I Main Title III The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme) V Throne Room & End Title To end we have music actually written for the cinema, although you can tell how influential American composer John Williams has been from orchestral music for the concert platform. Famous for his collaborations with Steven Spielberg (Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and many more), Williams is also synonymous with that “galaxy far far away”, fashioned by George Lucas’ Star Wars,
17
perhaps the most successful B-movie ever, still producing prequels, sequels and stand-alone Star Wars Stories. So, are you ready to be transported into another dimension, “a long time ago”? Well, then, let the titles roll! You know the story: it pitches good against evil, the underdogs against the mighty empire, where we are introduced to such heroes, heroines and characters as Luke Skywalker, his teacher Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia, the maverick Hans Solo, and some favourite non-human characters: Yoda, R2D2, C3PO and Chewbacca. Given the success of the first three films, in 1997 – the 20th anniversary of the first film, which was renamed IV A New Hope when the prequels came along in 1999 – John Williams fashioned a suite of five movements from his scores for the concert platform. We hear three of those movements to end the concert. The opening title sequence of the original 1977 film, after a brief fanfare, throws us straight into the main, rousing theme, built out of the simplest of formulas – two long notes, a faster triplet, a long note and a short one. The strings take over briefly before a return to the full march, underpinned by a battery of percussion with its insistent tattoo, but the music dissipates, akin to Holst’s eerie Saturn (from his Planets Suite, from which all cinematic space music seems to come), before the percussion start again (a nod surely to Holst’s Mars), and the march returns. The final interruption is for the cello-led, much softer theme, which introduces Princess Leia, but the march is never far away and returns quickly to sweep all before it, though not before a surging string paean that sounds like Sibelius. The third movement, The Imperial March, introduces Darth Vader in the second film The Empire Strikes Back. While the percussion and strings hammer out the Mars-like rhythm, the brass intone the march theme, which even softer instrumentation later on can not disguise – there is something overpowering and dangerous about the music, especially when the horns come pealing in. 18
Finally and fittingly we return to the final scene of the original Star Wars, where – after they have triumphed in the destruction of Darth Vada’s Death Star – Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, back on Yavin IV are honoured with bravery medals by Princess Leia in The Throne Room. It starts with a fanfare (what else?), and another rousing trumpet theme, later joined by trombones, underpinned by percussion and stabbing strings. This is like the peculiar march tradition of Victorian and Edwardian Britain (a different sort of Empire) à la Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance Marches and Walton’s two Coronation Marches, where the tub-thumping march section is contrasted with a noble central section. Here Williams offers a sumptuous string theme, more flowing, over which horns introduce the film’s main theme. Solo oboe and flute, over shimmering violins and cello and bass pizzicato alter the mood, but the music builds again majestically and ends with a catalogue of the film’s main music, in essence a reprise of the main title, complete with march, Princess Leia and a climactic surge to the end.
