Pietro Mascagni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pietro Mascagni (December 7, 1863 – August 2, 1945) was an Italian composer most noted for his operas. His 1890 masterpiece, Cavalleria rusticana, caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and singlehandedly ushered in the Verismo movement in Italian dramatic music. However, though it has been stated that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, this is inaccurate. L'amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres. In fact, Mascagni himself claimed that at one point Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria (cf. Stivender). It is certainly a better vehicle for a popular lyric soprano.
Mascagni wrote a total of seventeen operas and operetta, several orchestral and vocal works, as well as songs and piano music. He enjoyed immense success during his lifetime, both as a composer and conductor of his own and other people's music. If he never repeated the international success of Cavalleria, it was probably because Mascagni refused to copy himself. The variety of styles in his operas—the Sicilian passion and warmth of Cavalleria, the exotic flavor of Iris, the idyllic breeze that ventilates the charming L'amico Fritz and Lodoletta, the Gallic chiaroscuro of Isabeau, the steely, Veristic power of Il piccolo Marat, the overripe postromanticism of the lush Parisina—demonstrate a versatility that surpasses even that of Puccini.
谢谢你的推荐和精彩的评论,尤其喜欢你说的这一句:“用他整个青春的感觉在写。”
我想,青春是人的一生中充满理想抱负憧憬的阶段,是如此的美好而又浪漫。然而,人生的不同阶段也有其独特的魅力,人的一生才如此的丰富,世界才如此的多彩。
再次感谢你的分享,祝你周末快乐,

谢谢你的分享。我没有看过电影《阳光灿烂的日子》里,刚刚去网上读了关于这部电影的相关介绍,摘录了姜文片首处极为个人式的旁白。
“北京,变得这么快:20年的工夫它已经成为了一个现代化的城市,我几乎从中找不到任何记忆里的东西。事实上,这种变化已经破坏了我的记忆,使我分不清幻觉和真实。
我的故事总是发生在夏天,炎热的气候使人们裸露得更多,也更难以掩饰心中的欲望。那时候好像永远是夏天,太阳总是有空伴随着我,阳光充足,太亮了,使我眼前一阵阵发黑……”
Good night,
Rebecca
电影《阳光灿烂的日子》里当马小军在金灿灿的夕阳暮色下独自一人徘徊于房檐屋顶之间,以及最后马小军被昔日的朋友们孤立后仰面躺在空荡荡的游泳池里,背景里都会响起一段优美舒缓而又带点忧伤的乐曲,那是意大利作曲家马斯卡尼(Mascagni,1963-1945)创作的独幕歌剧《乡村骑士》里的一首间奏曲。
弦乐合奏出的温暖而又伤感的旋律配上电影的慢镜营造出了一种如梦如幻的气氛,很好的表达出少年马小军青春期的孤独与惆怅。据说姜文当年就是听了这首乐曲之后才萌生了拍这部电影的念头。
这段音乐还曾经出现在另外两位大师级导演的电影里。
马丁·斯科塞斯的《愤怒的公牛 》(Raging Bull) 开场的慢镜里,罗伯特·德尼罗身披拳击外套,独自一人在拳台上踌躇满志的错步挥拳。佛朗西斯·科波拉的《教父III》(The Godfather III)里,艾尔·帕西诺饰演的第二代教父独坐在幽暗的房间里凄凉的垂首死去。这两个电影镜头,同样的配上了《乡村骑士》间奏曲。
我在网上查到了意大利作曲家马斯卡尼创作的独幕歌剧《乡村骑士》里的间奏曲相关介绍,和你分享,供你参考。
《乡村骑士》是意大利作曲家马斯卡尼(Mascagni,1963-1945)创作的独幕歌剧《乡村骑士》里的一首间奏曲,彼德罗·马斯卡尼,26岁创作的《乡村骑士》这部歌剧使他一举成名,轰动整个欧洲,成为意大利著名的音乐家。
《乡村骑士》以意大昨西西里岛普通农民的现实生活为素材,叙述了农民图里杜婚后仍与从前的女友罗拉来往,令他妻子桑图扎非常愤怒。桑图扎将此事告诉罗拉的丈夫,两个男人决斗,图里杜被杀。
歌剧《乡材骑士》之所以能取得成功,其主要原因有三:一、它选择了现实生活中的题材,反映了普通人民的生活,给人们留下极其深刻的印象;二、音乐描写极其粗犷,而且歌词与音乐也结合得十分协调,使之与剧情相适应;三:剧中所有的音乐都采用了意大利风格的优美旋律,这使马斯卡尼的音乐天才在这部作品里得到了最充分的施展。
《乡村骑士》虽然是一部独幕歌剧。其中却不乏优秀的唱段和优美的旋律,其中阳为著名的就是那段《乡村骑士》的幕间曲。另外,桑图扎的咏叹调《听我说,妈妈》和图里杜的咏调《妈妈,那些烈酒》等常在音乐会上演唱,深受歌剧爱好者的钟爱。
《乡村骑士》的村民合唱和间奏曲,合唱曲的明快,间奏曲的婉约,尤其是间奏曲格外甜美,突显西西里民歌风尚,弦乐如潺潺溪水,渐渐加入的竖琴等的弹拨,宛若溪水在晶亮的鹅卵石上跳跃,阳光在它们身上一闪一闪的,犹如小精灵一般款款飞舞,让人沉浸在恬静的梦境中。两支曲子加起来才短短15分钟,因为短而美,是世人都深深感触到的“此时无声而甚有声”的境界,它可以将你带到中世纪油画般的乡间和农舍中,去尽情地沐浴那个大师层出的时代所带给你的畅想与欢乐。
