Jia Guoping FALLING LEAVES INTO DEEP VALLEY for orchestra （2011）
乐曲标题取自北岛的诗歌《走吧》：“走吧，落叶吹进深谷，歌声却没有归宿。走吧，冰上的月光，已从河床上溢出。走吧，眼睛望着同一片天空，心敲击着暮色的鼓…”。音乐并非是诗歌意象的图解，而是作曲家与诗人对于现实人生体验的共鸣。作品由五个连续演奏的段落构成，个别源于现实生活中的声响在作品中寄予了某种象征意义。诸如突兀出现的响鞭声源自5.12大地震后当地以鞭炮送别孩子的习俗；乐曲结束前的一片风铃声则隐喻了“飘向天堂的花朵”意向。因此作曲家谨以此曲悼念5.12大地震中罹难的孩子们。
The music title came from Bei Dao’s poem《Away》: “ Away, as falling leaves drifted into deep valley, the songs still finds no home; Gone, as silver moonlight shines on ice, it has overflown the river bank; Vanish, we gaze at the same sky, our hearts beating the drum of dusk…”. This music is not an illustration of the poetic image, rather the resonance between composer and poet’s real-life experience. The work is constructed by five consecutive paragraphs with symbolism sound effect from daily lives. Such as the sound of firecracker represents farewell to children passed away in the May 12th Earthquake; the wind chimes ringtone at the end of the music is a metaphor of “beautiful flowers raising up paradise”. It is a work in memorial of children victimized in the May 12th Earthquake.
