《波光。樂語》2025年度音樂會 Annual Concert

【曲目介紹 Program Introduction】

《Sea of Wisdom》智慧之海

此曲是由日本和歌山縣岩出第二中學委託創作，於和歌山縣管樂大賽首演，曲長大約七分半鐘。歌山縣讓人印象最深刻的景色就是「白濱海岸」及「三段壁」，因此，這首曲子便是由腦海中所描繪的山海景色，交織而成。

作曲家認為海這種美且廣大的景色，絕對是和我們人世間最大的力量（智慧）共同存在的，只要聽眾與演奏者懷著這種想法去聆聽與演奏，一定會從音樂中感受到幸福的力量。

音樂一開始，由「早晨的海」揭開序幕，由豎笛模仿海鷗的叫聲，感覺船揚帆啟航緩緩的駛出港口，中低音聲部將主旋律帶入，並擴大發展，就像是船行駛在寬廣的大海一般。接著，中音薩克斯風演奏出優雅的獨奏片段，彷彿大海如母親般眷顧著我們的溫情。中段，進入了三段壁的風光，低音銅管切分的節奏就像是海浪不固定的拍打著峭壁，而高音木管快速的音群就如同海浪與峭岸相互撞擊時所迸濺的浪花，時而澎湃，時而璀璨晶瑩。最後，作曲家將主題再次導入，然後以輝煌之勢結束。

This piece was commissioned by Wakayama Prefecture’s Iwade Second Junior High School and premiered at the Wakayama Prefecture Wind Ensemble Competition. Spanning approximately 7 minutes and 30 seconds, the composition draws inspiration from Wakayama’s most iconic landscapes: Shirahama Beach and Sandanbeki Cliff. The piece intertwines vivid mental imagery of these breathtaking seascapes.

The composer believes that the grandeur and beauty of the sea embody a profound coexistence with the greatest forces (wisdom) of human existence. Listeners and performers, by embracing this perspective, can find happiness and fulfillment through the music.

The piece opens with “The Morning Sea”, where clarinets mimic the calls of seagulls, creating a sense of ships setting sail and gradually leaving the harbor. The middle and low brass then carry the main melody, expanding it to evoke the sensation of a ship cruising across the vast ocean. A smooth and elegant solo by the alto saxophone follows, symbolizing the motherly warmth and care of the sea.

In the middle section, the scenery transitions to the dramatic Sandanbeki Cliffs. The rhythmic syncopation from the low brass captures the unpredictable waves crashing against the cliffs, while the high woodwinds’ rapid flourishes emulate the sparkling spray of waves hitting the rocky coastline. The interplay alternates between power and brilliance, encapsulating the ever-changing beauty of the sea.

Finally, the composer reintroduces the main theme, culminating in a resplendent and triumphant conclusion.
