音乐的魅力 (原创） (多图和歌词)

我特喜欢看电影《音乐之声》，尤其是看电影一开始时 Maria 在山顶上唱 “ The Hills are alive with sound of music”, 她情不自禁地张开双手转圈，歌颂及拥抱美丽的大自然。我昨天在 YouTube 上找到此歌并贴链接如下，可惜没有电影里的视频。

第一次看此电影是我做研究生时在所里的小电视的频幕上，当时的英文水平太差，没听懂几句话，我印象最深的听懂的一句话是“ my stomach is noisy” 当孩子们骗他们爸爸是去摘蓝莓而不是去看 Maria 时遭到罚饿肚子时大男孩说的。但里面的音乐和歌我们懂，也会唱“ Do Re Mi ”和“ Edelweiss”( 雪绒花) , 而且学唱这些歌也帮助了我们学英语。

后来几年后，我在澳首都堪培拉时又看了好两遍，逐渐听懂了不少，因为听懂了，就更喜欢听“ The Hills are alive with sound of music” 。刚查了 Wikipedia ，发现此歌在美国电影学会评出的最好的 100 支电影歌曲中排第十位。（ 1 ）

这电影真是天才性的创作，把音乐的魅力表达得淋漓尽致。电影获得五项奥斯卡奖包括最佳影片奖， 它也是有史以来最受众人喜爱的音乐片。（ 2 ）

影片显示了音乐能够使七个没有母爱的，不懂音乐，淘气的孩子们转变成爱音乐，懂礼貌，能表演的好孩子，在 Maria 巧妙地用音乐因势利导下。她教音乐的方式真妙，孩子又正好是七个，对上音乐的七个音符，电影的编剧真是太聪明了！影片中以各种类型的音乐贯穿全片，有 Maria 对着碧绿的高山，清水和蓝天发自内心喜爱的歌（ A ），修女们对 Maria 无可奈何（头疼，因为常找不到她）的叙说， Liesl 和 Rolf 表达羞涩初恋的心声， Maria 教孩子们对音乐感兴趣的循循善诱的歌，和在 Maria 带领下他们表演的许多活泼快乐的歌（ B ， C ， D , G）， Maria 和上校相爱心灵交换的抒情之歌，最后他们一家表演的对祖国的热爱和对德国侵略者的鄙视所唱的民族老歌“ Edelweiss” （ E ），这也是整个电影达到最高境界的时候。

总之，此音乐片用大师般的艺术手法表现了音乐的魅力（ F ）：音乐的优美赞颂能使人们更加感受到大自然美丽的意境，音乐的多种表达方式能表现出人的性格，品质，爱和恨，人性的闪光（上校的坚强， Maria 的活泼性格和教育孩子的才能等），而且帮助 Maria 来引导和熏陶孩子们，使他们健康成长，懂得欣赏音乐并培养演出的才能，更好的是音乐把枯燥无味的家变成充满笑声可爱的家；音乐还使奥地利民众能用优雅深情的民族老歌来对付侵略者，凌云正气战胜邪恶！

（ 1 ） The song was ranked tenth in the American Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest Songs in Movie History. （ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music_(song) ）

（ 2 ） It won a total of five Academy Awards including Best Picture in 1965 and is one of the most popular musicals ever produced. The cast album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. （ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music_(film) ）


七个没有母爱的，不懂音乐，淘气的孩子们

The Hills are alive with sound of music （ Lyrics ）

The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more

B ． Sound Of Music (Do Re Mi)

Tea, a drink with jam and bread


[Maria:]
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti
[spoken]
Let's see if I can make it easy

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

C ． MY FAVOURITE THINGS （我最喜爱的东西）

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

E ． The Sound of Music – Edelweiss ( 雪绒花 )



Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white, clean and bright
You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever

G.  So Long, Farewell

From "The Sound of Music"
Words by Oscar Hammerstein 2nd
Music by Richard Rodgers

There's a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too,
And up in the nurs'ry an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "coocoo".

Regretfully they tell us,
But firmly they compel us
To say goodby to you.

So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, good night,
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, adieu,
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.

So long, farewell, Au'voir, auf wiedersehen,
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
So long, farewell, Auf wiedersehen, goodbye,
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye,
Good bye

I'm glad to go,
I cannot tell a lie.
I flit, I float,
I fleetly flee, I fly.

The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye,
Goodbye!
