樂曲解說 亞蘭•哈查都量： 〈斯巴達克斯與弗麗吉亞的緩板〉，選自《斯巴 達克斯》第二號組曲 撰文│沈雕龍（柏林自由大學音樂學博士）

哈查都量在1955年時，將這部芭蕾舞劇改編成四 首《斯巴達克斯組曲》，其中最有名的一首單曲就 是第二號組曲中的第一首〈斯巴達克斯與弗麗吉亞 的緩板〉。在整部主要被戰爭與不安氣氛壟罩的舞 劇中，這一段斯巴達克斯與妻子弗麗吉亞分別逃出

《斯巴達克斯》是俄國作曲家哈查都量（ Aram

Khachaturian, 1903–1978）創作於1954年的三幕芭 蕾舞劇，劇情敘述的是，羅馬共和國末期（前73 年－前71年），身為色雷斯國王的斯巴達克斯被羅 馬人俘虜，淪落為角鬥士，為反抗羅馬人的殘暴對 待，斯巴達克斯領導其他角鬥士和奴隸揭竿起義， 然而，最後由於反抗軍自身的內鬨，斯巴達克斯終 究抵擋不了羅馬軍隊的襲擊，壯烈成仁。歷史上， 斯巴達克斯所領導的起義，是古羅馬三次奴隸戰爭 中規模最大的一次。哈查都量的《斯巴達克斯》， 可以說是二戰後俄國最成功的芭蕾舞劇之一，連蕭 士塔高維契都稱讚這部作品到：「這部芭蕾作品中 最有價值的，就是音樂中沛然莫之能禦的表現力、 說服力和靈巧性」。

羅馬人控制後相逢的緩板音樂，顯得格外突出。淒 美的主題，以個別的樂器接續又交疊地獨奏而出， 轉進一陣具有危機感的段落後，又以整體絃樂托著 銅管樂器的輝煌重回主題，讚頌著自由與愛情的綻 放。最後，小提琴再一次娓娓地獨奏出主題，宛如 斯巴達克斯與弗麗吉亞之間的私密絮語。

Her works have been performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Taiwan Philharmonic, the Taipei Symphony Orchestra, the National

By this time, she had borne him a son, the King had come to love her, and he finally renounced his categorical hatred of women. The Queen had in the meantime won the love and gratitude of the people as well, and they named her Scheherazade, which means “Savior of the City.”

Rimsky-Korsakov, with his masterful ability to exploit dazzling orchestral colors and sonorities, was just the composer to set these tales to music. Scheherazade, his four-movement “narrative” of scenes from the Arabian Nights, was written during the summer of 1888. It was first performed in St. Petersburg on October 22, 1888 with the composer conducting.

NIKOLAI RIMSKY-KORSAKOV: Scheherazade, Op. 35

By Robert Markow The two hundred or so dramatically linked stories that constitute the Thousand and One Nights (or Arabian Nights) originated in Eastern lands centuries ago. The stories were handed down over the years and embroidered by each storyteller in his or her own fashion. A raconteuse named Scheherazade provided a convenient framework on which to drape a rich and colorful tapestry of these stories, folk tales, poems and dramatic narratives. In the form she related them, we are indebted to the misogynistic Persian king Shahriar.

Having been outraged by his faithless wife, Shahriar resolved to avenge himself on the entire female population of his city. Each night he would marry a beautiful young woman, only to kill her the following day. After some time, a girl of exceptional charm, wit and intelligence came forward with a plan to end this reign of terror. She offered herself to the King as his next bride, and the King gladly accepted, though he warned her that she would die on the following day. When bedtime approached, the girl began to relate an enthralling story to the King, but broke off just at the most exciting part, with a promise to continue the next day. The King postponed her execution so as to hear the outcome of this story, but the girl repeated her tactic the following night,

A lengthy description of each movement would serve little purpose; the individual imagination must be free to roam. Nevertheless, one cannot miss the recurring “voice” of the lovely, seductive, mysterious Scheherazade, represented by a sinuous theme played by the solo violin, just one of the many tantalizing touches of orchestration found in the magnificently colored score.
