偉哉小朋友
尋找與 石燭凝翠 相關資料時，不意間發現一個 關於頭城的田野踏查的網頁 ，敘述者的口吻親切有趣，內容也很豐富，順著發掘，居然是 二城國小某師生小隊 的 傑作 ！wow, 不知道現在的小學教學是否健康化了？否則以當年的填鴨式教育，這種作業八成是老師的教學陰謀呢~~ 假如我的小人之心是多餘的，那麼這樣的摸索與呈現令人感到無比欣慰。

好走‧好舞
過了媽祖廟，前頭走來一位這條路上不曾見過的老嫗，頗有氣質喔... 她和氣的與老街居民打招呼，還非常甜美的讚美一位妙齡少婦。他們問她怎麼這麼「罕行」？之前不都走下崁(青雲路)那邊？ 老婦人笑笑說：『現在不愛走那邊了，車禍...』 想：這個小鎮上擁有 禁忌之地 的也不僅僅我。 我由和平老街，經過開蘭舊路，並走上一小段國小前的人行道，最後來到鎮上最大型的瞎拼中心... 單行1.2 Km, 好走。 在屬於「轉去」的所在留連好一會兒，也拍了些照片，啟程「來轉」。在車站前靜思三秒，決定了 另一條好走的路 。 穿越一座鋼板牆，入眼還是那棟有著紅色門與矮牆的優雅破落房舍。仔細端詳，發現她有許多足以被探討的元素，不過...今天俺沒空。 轉身，前方有位老伯也在這條車馬稀的小徑散步。 在尚未決定好該左右張望的給他假裝錯過...還是低頭凝思的拒人千里... 笑容與不夠剛毅的頸骨已經柔軟的給他點落去！呃，這大概是小鎮漫步必然會有的反射動作吧？ 收拾笑臉，突然發現！平實人家最引人會心一笑的街頭生活藝術。 將好喝的珍珠奶茶扔在一旁，俺將這一幕晾衣柱共舞貪婪入鏡。 剛剛打過招呼的老伯大概不放心一位古怪女子的鬼祟舉動，笑著疑惑著慢慢跺過來... 喔，原來正是街頭藝術家！聽完俺噁心八啦的推崇，他還高興的提示曬衣服的時間通常在一大早。喔嗬！ ps: 經老伯解說，原來那棟優雅破落房舍是以前火車站長的宿舍。而且小徑上放眼所及的房舍大都屬於鐵路局。 Created with flickr slideshow .

回覆刪除我前幾天還想：哇，讓monique配了樂之後，回過頭來讀舊文居然不會無聊了耶~
這首歌盪氣迴腸，仔細一聽，頗有水鬼聖歌的味道，尤其最後一段哪~~hihi~~
There goes my father
He's looking at the sky
He heard of some travellers
Who make their dreams fly
I looked into his eyes
And saw a river deep and wide
He said
I will meet you at the water
At the water we'll see each other
Va pensiero sull'ali dorate
Va ti posa sui clivi sui colli
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
L'aure dolci del suolo natal
I will meet you at the water
At the water we'll see each other
Oh mia patria si bella e perduta
Oh membranza si cara e fatal
I see my brother
I looked into his eyes and saw a river deep and wide
He said
I will meet you at the water
At the water we'll see each other
O t'ispiri il signore un concento
Che ne infonda al patire virtu
(Che ne infonda al patire virtu)
In the water we'll see each other
In the water we see each other
Water
(Water)
Sometimes I wonder when they're gonna be free
I'm waiting for the moment when the waters flow through me
I see the many people who have been here before me
They're waiting for the moment when they're gonna be free
哈,如果有記放水燈或盂蘭盆節的文章,放那兒可能更合適?
回覆刪除我是離開台灣太久不是?竟沒這方面的直覺....
其實我主要的感受是來自"Va' Pensiero"這首曲子,
(你提出的是另一種鄉野傳奇式的詮釋,有意思!):
Va' Pensiero
From the Opera "Nabucco" by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)
Verdi's first successful opera, Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar), was written in 1842. It relates the Biblical story of the captivity of the Hebrews in Babylon in the 6th century B.C.
In the opera, the chorus "Va, pensiero" (a paraphrase of Psalm 137) is sung by the exiles on the banks of the Euphrates, lamenting the loss of their homeland.
Translation:
Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate; Go, my thoughts on golden wings;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli Go, settle on the cliffs and hills
Ove olezzano tepide e molli, Where the sweet breezes bring
L'aure dolci del suolo natal! The warm, soft fragrances of your native land
Del Giordano le rive saluta, From Jordan, the river of salvation, and
Di Sionne le torri atterrate. From the desolate towers of Zion.
Oh, mia patrie si bella e perduta! Oh my fatherland so beautiful and lost!
Oh, Membrenza si cara e fatal! Oh remembrances, so dear and so deadly
Arpa d'or del fatidici vati, Golden Harps of our prophets and poets,
Perch?muta dal salice pendi? Why have you changed into weeping willows?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi, The battered memory in my heart
Chi favella del tempo che fu! Which speaks of the time which was!
O simile di Solima ai fati Either like Solomon to the fates
Traggi un suono di crudo lamento, You present a sound of crude lament,
O t'ispiri il Signore un concento Or the Lord inspires in you a song
Che ne infonda al patire virtu! Which takes courage into the depths.
This eclectic and extremely touching piece from Giuseppe Verdi has been stylized and performed by a multitude of amazing singers and Professional Choirs, in styles ranging from pop to opera.
More information
Late in the 1800's, Austria occupied Northern Italy, Lombardy specifically. They apparently understood little as they were bemused by the pre-occupation Italians had with music, in particular Verdi's 'Va Pensiero'. They thought is was quaint and did not attach much importance to it at the time.
On the streets, the walls, they would find scrawled or painted the word VERDI. And so they thought everyone was in love with the composer. In fact, that word was a call to nationhood and spoke to Italian patriotism, but perhaps more to Lombardy re-unification. Because it was not just the song - it was because the name of Verdi was also an acronym for Vittorio Emmanuele Re d'Italia. (Vittorio Emmanuele, King of Italy).
Special thanks to Historian Marzio Apolloni for this intriguing information.

對喔~ 有些傳統節慶還真不知道放哪裡？
回覆刪除wow~ 上了一節歷史課。
小時候看玉女英豪與玉女情懷，對西洋歷史完全不排斥，因為每個情節都能幻畫成漫畫來想像，但中國歷史就不行了，分數常常很不優等|||
如果，歷史課的每個環節都有像你提供的類似樂曲背景搭配，那上課還真的很有樂趣哩...
我記得以前曾看過一部迷你影集,是在說奧匈帝國末代王妃Sisi(1837-1898)的故事,其中有一幕就是皇室成員去Lombardy的歌劇院欣賞演出時,被全場觀眾起立高唱"Va' pensiero"羞辱,很震撼,留給我很深的印象.
