自由，是 每 天 看 到 海 洋 邊 際的日出 是每晚數 著 滿 天 繁 星 入 睡 小時候我們總是喜歡仰望天上的白雲，天馬行空的幻想出各式各樣的動物在天空飛翔。 不知由什麼時候開始，我們習慣了大都市的忙碌，日復日過著公式化的生活，漸漸地失 去兒時的創造力和想像力，更加忽略身邊美好的人和事，試問我們有多久沒有抬頭仰望 天空，欣賞天空微妙的變化？ 在構思《動物嘉年華》音樂會的過程中，我們期望能在傳統音樂會的演奏模式上尋求突 破，除了加入更多不同的音樂元素外，我們將音樂融入戲劇，為聖桑的《動物嘉年華》 注入全新的故事、為每個樂章的角色注入新的生命。在雄仔叔叔及導演王敏豪先生的帶 領下，在排練的短短幾個月間，我們學會了放下自己，放低自我──音樂從來不只是 聽，不只是用心感受，更可能幫助你我編寫自己的故事，塑造與眾不同的自己。 是次音樂會在有限資源和人手下得以成功舉行，有賴各贊助人、合作伙伴的鼎力支持。 衷心感謝雄仔叔叔、導演王敏豪先生、燈光設計師顏凱翔先生、舞台監督鄧藹玲小姐、 多年來 La Sax 一眾兄弟姊妹無私的奉獻，台前幕後所有工作人員，以及各曾經協助本團 的機構與團體，讓我們繼續將色士風的魅力宣揚開去，並用音樂啟發更多人的心靈。 動物們正向著更廣闊的天空出發，去尋找它們一直嚮往的自由⋯⋯ 歡迎您和我們一同踏上旅程。

導 演的話 DIRECTOR’S NOTES 關於色士風。是一種令人著迷的樂器。除了是結構精良，外表美觀，更是擁有接近人類的聲音元素， 多變的情感演繹都接近著人類靈魂之深處。無論在古典、流行及爵士音樂都受到廣泛採用。 關於動物。人類自視為萬物之靈，像是地球上的唯一主人，彷彿所有動物都要看著人類的生存而決定 命運。然而，動物有自主的權利嗎？我們只求無限發展的同時，可以跟動物做朋友，為他們著想嗎？ 關於這個演出。這是一個有趣的表演形式，結合了演奏，扮演及說故事。在現今新媒體的發展下，智 能手機、平板電腦及電視機盒讓人們足不出戶便可以得到資訊又享受娛樂。親身進入劇場或演奏廳的 體驗非新媒體的虛擬性所能媲美，希望透過今次特別的機會讓聽眾得到新體驗。特別感謝李俊亮先 生、雄仔叔叔、燈光設計師顏凱翔先生及 La Sax 的邀請。

節 目 P RO G R A MME 羅 西 尼 Gioacchino Rossini / 陳 中 豪 編 Jeffrey Chan arr. 《 威 廉 泰 爾 》序 曲 : 終 曲 WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE：FINALE 《威廉泰爾》序曲是一個共有四個段落的管弦樂作品，由意大利作曲家羅西尼於1829年根據 大文豪席勒的戲劇《威廉泰爾》所寫的。戲劇描述瑞士人民無法容忍奧國暴政，於是發起革命 推翻政府。音樂會將演出最後一個段落，由高音色士風及次中音色士風帶領展開序曲，描繪瑞 士人重奪領土的喜悅，勝利帶來的激昂。雖然故事中沒有出現馬或騎兵，但序曲的旋律則成為 了港 人 耳 熟 能 詳 的 《 賽 馬 曲 》 配 樂 。 This is an orchestral suite with four sections. Rossini was inspired by Friedrich Schiller's drama William Tell and composed this piece in 1829. The drama is about the Swiss revolution to fight against the dictatorship of the Austrian government. Its last section, the Finale, has a thrilling opening fanfare and then a galloping theme.

It describes the scene of the Swiss soldiers' victorious battle to liberate their homeland from Austrian suppression. The section is in a vivace (very quick and lively) tempo to expresses the glory and exhilaration of the victory. Although there are neither horses nor cavalryman in the story, this movement is widely adopted in popular media to denote galloping horses, including the conventional theme song of horse racing in Hong Kong.

帕 斯庫里 Antonino Pasculli / 程 家 慧 編 Chemie Ching 《 蜜 蜂 》LE API

arr.

帕斯庫裡是一位意大利作曲家，在十八歲時，他已經是巴勒莫音樂學校的雙簧管教授和英國管 教授。他的作品對演奏者的技巧要求十分高，因而令他的作品總是很難被演奏。此曲寫於 1905年，原是寫給雙簧管和鋼琴，它不同於高沙可夫的《野蜂飛舞》，也就是要求演奏者以 循環呼吸的方式演奏，因此樂句不會被呼吸而中斷。全曲以琶音、音階和顫音令樂曲組成極長 的句子 ， 緊 密 而 不 間 斷 。 Pasculli was an Italian composer who began his career as an oboist at the age of eighteen. His ground-breaking composition style requires players to have exquisite virtuosity that his compositions has always seen to be onerous to perform in modern days. This piece was written in 1905, originally composed for the oboe and the piano. Similar to Rimsky Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumble Bee, this piece is one of Pasculli well-known works that exploit extensive techniques. The structure of the piece resembles arpeggios, scales and trills in extreme long legato ties. Circular breathing is a vital element in this piece that requires players to produce a continuous tone without interrupted by breathing in.

邱 玉鳳 Yau Yuk Fung 《 奇 利 斯 漫 步 》 PEPERONCINI STROLL* 描述充滿朝氣閃爍的小辣椒在紐約的街道上遊玩，他一邊帶著小雨傘，一邊敲打著路上的擺 設，對四圍的事物感到好奇。他掛著興致勃勃的樣子不慎走進黑暗的小巷，心情變得越來越擔 憂。經 過 迂 迴 曲 折 的 路 程 ， 最 後 仍 成 功 找 回 原 路 離開小巷，繼續在大城巿中快樂地遊玩。 This music describes a vigorous red chili who strolls around the streets in New York city. The curious red chili walks with his small umbrella and taps on the sidewalk to enjoy the glamorous city view. In the middle of his way, he gets lost on a dark alley and starts to feel worried. After trudging through many devious routes, he finally finds his way back to the crowded main streets and continues his enchanting journey in the big city. *委 約 作 品 Commissioned work 13

埃利 斯 Alfred James Ellis

《 雞 》 THE CHICKEN

《雞》是 由 爵 士 色 士 風 手 A lfr ed J a mes E llis 所 寫的爵士放克經典，在占士布朗1969年於唱片《爆 米花》中發行。其後，著名低音結他手傑可帕斯透瑞斯多次翻演，令此曲成名。他為此曲加上一個騷 靈前 奏 ， 並 灌 錄 於 他 的 唱 片 《 邀 請 》 和 《 生 日 音 樂會》內。樂曲中藍調式的和弦進行以及不斷重覆的 的低音聲 部 ， 使 它 成 為 即 興 演 奏 會 上 常 會 演 奏 的 樂 曲。 This is a jazz funk standard written by jazz saxophonist Alfred James Ellis. It was first released on James Brown's single The Popcorn in 1969. The tune was prominently covered and made famous by jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius. Pastorius added a “Soul Intro” to the tune and interpolated it in his live albums Invitation and The Birthday Concert. With a blues-like progression and an easily recognisable bass line, The Chicken became a funk music staple at jam sessions.

Now let’s enjoy the sensational solos improvised by our saxophonists!

《威尼斯狂歡節變奏曲》 （選段）

VARIATIONS GONDOLANTES SUR LE CARNAVAL DE VENISE (EXCERPTS) 主題 Thème I. 清掃煙囪 Ramonage II. 引用 Citations V. 美女與野獸 La belle et la bête

VII. 沙律 Salade de thèmes IX. 搖擺 Swingin’ X. 啤酒節 Fête de la bière

這是一首寫給色士風四重奏的變奏曲，此曲包括了一個主題及十個變奏，這些變奏是根據法國作曲家 阿爾班的《威尼斯狂歡節》之主題而寫的，而主題則來自於一首家傳戶曉的法國民間樂曲《我的帽子 有三隻角》。阿爾班所寫的變奏曲原是寫給短號的，其後很多作曲家將此曲改編給不同樂器。音樂會 將演奏其 中 六 個 具 特 色 的 變 奏 。 This is a piece written for saxophone quartet which comprises a main theme and ten variations. The variations are based on a theme excerpted from the piece Le Carnaval De Venise (The Carnival of Venice) by a French composer Jean-Baptiste Arban. The theme of Le Carnaval De Venise was originally a popular folk song My Hat, It Has Three Corners. Based on the folk tune, Arban first composed the variations for cornet solo. After then, many composers arranged the piece for different instruments. In this concert, six of the variations will be performed.

聖 桑 Saint-Saën / 陳中 豪 編 Jeffrey Chan arr.

《動物嘉年華》

THE CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS

這是聖桑最受歡迎的管弦樂组曲，以各種樂器來模擬動物的聲音與神情，親切而可愛。不過在首演之 後，聖桑卻下令除了《天鵝》之外，其他樂段禁止演奏，也不承認曾經出版。直到聖桑過世，各界才 又將其翻攪而出，受歡迎程度至今不減。全曲有十四段音樂，描寫包括鋼琴家在內的十三種動物，其 中也多處 引 用 了 其 他 作 曲 家 作 品 中 的 著 名 旋 律 。 你 又喜歡這個改編給色士風重奏樂團的版本嗎？ Saint-Saëns referred to this colourful witty piece as a “Grand Zoological Fantasy” and he wrote it in 1886, but refused to let anyone perform it during his lifetime. It was finally published in 1922, the year after he died. The next-to-last part, The Swan has become a very famous piece by itself and was the only part Saint-Saëns let musicians perform. Each of the 14 movements is a picture of a different kind of animal (although Saint-Saëns include pianists and music critics in his zoo). We wish you would love this arranged version for saxophone ensemble!

》 THE PINK PANTHER

arr.

此作品來自1963年的電影《傻豹》的主題曲，由美國電影和流行音樂作曲家曼西尼所寫。電影原是關 於一個倒霉的法國警察，後來傻豹這角色大售歡迎，更有牠自己的電視卡通片，至今仍為最著名的卡 通音樂作品之一。這個版本是托馬羅受到巴比麥菲林的無伴奏合唱版本啟發後所編的，通過加入 「s huffle fu nk」的 律 動 、 具 標 誌 性 的 即 興 演 奏 和 中間倍速的部分，為曼西尼的原曲注入新的活力。 Written by Henry Mancini, this piece was originated from the film The Pink Panther who talks about a hapless French policeman. The film soon became eminent and had its own cartoon television series The Pink Panther Show. Its theme music remains as one of the most famous cartoon compositions of all time.

This arrangement is made by Mike Tomaro, who was inspired by Bobby McFerrin’s a cappella recording of Pink Panther.

Combining a “shuffle funk” groove, the signature riffs from the original and a double-time middle section, this arrangement infuses new vitality into the Mancini’s favourite.
