[音乐剧赏析]音乐之声What things do you like?
跟我一起来享受音乐剧带来的美妙天籁吧。
首先让我们看看到底什么是音乐剧?
百老汇音乐剧(Broadway Musicals),其前身是黑脸人游艺表演、滑稽剧、歌舞杂剧等,后来在这些传统基础上创作出美国自己的轻歌剧(Operetta),从二十世纪三十年代开始,结合戏剧、音乐、舞蹈的音乐舞台剧逐渐发展成了极富魅力的音乐形式,逐渐征服了世界各地许多音乐爱好者的心,可以毫不夸张的说,音乐剧是我们过去的二十世纪最璀璨的艺术瑰宝。大家耳熟能详的《音乐之声》、《贝隆夫人》、《猫》等就是其中的佼佼者。也许不少人没听说过音乐剧这个名称,但提起“别为我哭泣,阿根廷”、“memory",等音乐剧著名插曲,相信很多人都是耳熟能详的。
百老汇音乐剧可以说是美国文化历史的缩影,它的音乐较多的受到爵士乐、摇摆乐的影响,它的舞蹈也受到摇摆舞、踢踏舞的影响,也和美国芭蕾有密切关系,它的成型标志是1927年的《演出船》(剧中名曲 “老人河”),第二个进展是1943年成功融合舞蹈的《俄克拉荷马》,而1957年的《西区故事》又是一个新的里程碑。到1975年《平步青云》到达音乐剧的光辉顶点。
而稍后,英国也成为是大量优秀音乐剧的摇篮,尤其是70年代著名英国音乐剧大师韦伯和莱斯的天才创作,极大的推动了音乐剧的发展,开创了音乐剧的新纪元。音乐剧四大名剧《猫》《歌剧院的幽灵》、《悲惨世界》、《西贡小姐》全是在伦敦首演,其他作品,诸如《象棋》、《奥立佛》也是十分优秀的音乐剧经典。
看。是不是又学到一个新单词。musical是音乐剧的意思哦,别记错了

电影介绍
音乐之声取材于1938年发生在奥地利的一个真实故事:见习修女玛丽亚是个性格开朗,热情奔放的姑娘。她爱唱歌、爱跳舞,还十分喜爱大自然的清新、宁静和美丽。只要修道院的门开着,她就常在苍翠的群山间象云雀一样歌唱,在洁净的小溪边和潺潺的流水合唱。
修道院院长觉得玛丽亚不适应这种与尘寰隔绝的生活,该放它到外面看看。就这样,她来到萨尔茨堡当上了前奥地利帝国海军退役军官冯.特拉普家7个孩子的家庭教师。冯.特拉普是个心地善良的爱国者,他在服役期间功勋卓著,几年前,不幸死了心爱的妻子,现在心灰意冷。家里没有歌声,没有笑声,也不许人家提到他的妻子。他爱自己的孩子,但是并不了解他们,老是象指挥水兵一样管理着他们。
玛丽亚穿着不合身的旧衣服,戴着顶破旧的帽子,拎着手提箱、挟着吉它离开了修道院。她一路放声高歌、蹦蹦跳跳、莽莽撞撞,一口气闯进了上校家。上校见她这付模样,对她能否做家庭教师表示怀疑;而上校管教孩子们的做法也令她大为惊讶:只要他的哨声一响,孩子们就从各自的房间里以最快的速度奔跑出来,排好队,按水兵操练的要求报出自己的姓名。
孩子们生性活泼可爱,各有各的性格、爱好和理想。他们不愿意过这种严加管束的生活,总设法捉弄历届的家庭教师,使他们呆不下去。对玛丽亚自然也不例外:一会儿出其不意把蛤蟆放在她的口袋里;一会儿趁她不备将松球放在她的座位上。但玛丽亚自己就具有孩子般的性格,她能理解孩子们在成长过程中的所作所为。她引导他们,关心他们,帮助他们,赢得了他们的信任,很快就成了他们的知心朋友,建立了深厚的感情。
她在上校离家去维也纳期间,用窗帘布给孩子们做了游戏服,带他们去野餐、郊游、爬树和划船;教他们唱歌,从“多,来,米”学起,直到排练歌曲。于是这个家庭平添了笑语、欢乐和生气,充满了音乐之声。当上校带着准备与他结婚的男爵夫人回来时,家中呆板、冰冷的空气完全变了,他的“水兵们”已被训练成了一? 有素养的家庭合唱队。这激起了上校对生活的热爱,换回了失去的幸福,也唤起了他对玛丽亚的爱情。
男爵夫人知难而退,玛丽亚和特拉普上校终于结成了美满的伴侣。
这时正是三十年代希特勒吞并奥地利的前夕,纳粹分子早已嗅出了上校家浓郁的自由奥地利气味。在萨尔茨堡举行奥地利民谣节的当天,上校和玛丽亚蜜月归来,同时柏林来电,命令上校参加纳粹的海军,并把他和全家置于严密监视之下。
借着参加民谣节的机会,特拉普家庭合唱队在奥地利同胞面前奉献出他们心底里的歌,并在朋友们和修女们的协助下,全家逃出了多难的祖国,留下了绕梁不绝、回肠荡气的对祖国眷恋的爱情之歌:
雪绒花,雪绒花,清晨醒来看见它。一朵朵,小白花,洁白而无暇。开不败的小白花,点缀祖国大地幸福无涯。影片清新有致,细腻感人,雅俗共赏。既有幽默的情趣,又有深沉凝重的感情。
其实,《音乐之声》最早是百老汇的音乐剧。这部佳作已经面世45年。因同名电影的巨大影响,在中国观众心中有一个先入为主的印象,但实际上它最早出现还是在舞台上。
这里我们欣赏到的片断是节选自音乐之声的电影版。女主角玛丽亚刚刚来到萨尔茨堡,成为前奥地利帝国海军退役军官冯.特拉普家7个孩子的家庭教师。这一天晚上雷雨交加,孩子们害怕的躲到玛丽亚的房间寻求保护。于是,玛丽亚的歌声就此飘扬起来。
欣赏的同时请别忘了我们的英语。在2:35左右,玛丽亚会问孩子们What things do you like?请仔细听听孩子们都回答了些什么。参与者均可得沪元50。

(A loud thunder clap. The door suddenly opens and Gretl, in a nightgown, runs
in and stands stiffly against the wall.)
MARIA:Gretl? Are you scared?
(Gretl shakes her head. There is another clap of thunder and she runs into
Maria's arms.)
MARIA:You're not frightened of a thunderstorm, are you? You just stay right
here with me. Oh! Uh! Where are the others?
GRETL:They're asleep. They're not scared.
(More thunder. Maria cuddles Gretl. Louisa, Brigitta and Marta run into the
room.)
MARIA:(to Gretl) Oh, no? Look.
(Gretl sees the other girls.)
MARIA:All right, everybody. Up here on the bed.
BRIGITTA:Really?
MARIA:Well, just this once. Come on.
(The girls crowd onto the bed.)
MARIA:Now, all we have to do is to wait for the boys.
LOUISA:You won't see them. Boys are brave.
(As the thunder continues, the girls bury their heads in the bed. Friedrich
and Kurt run into the room, then force themselves to walk calmly. Maria grins.)
MARIA:Eh, you boys weren't scared, too, were you?
FRIEDRICH:Oh, no. We just wanted to be sure that you weren't.
MARIA:That's very thoughtful of you, Friedrich.
FRIEDRICH:It wasn't my idea. It was Kurt's.
MARIA:Kurt! That's the one I left out. (to the ceiling) God bless Kurt.
(A huge thunder clap -- everyone ducks. Maria looks at them all with amusement.)
MARTA:Why does it do that?
MARIA:Well, the lightning says something to the thunder, and the thunder
answers back.
MARTA:The lightning must be nasty.
MARIA:Not really.
MARTA:Then why does the thunder get so angry? It makes me want to cry.
(More loud thunder. Really, they should soundproof these old villas. The
children bury their faces in the covers again.)
MARIA:Well, now, when anything bothers me and I'm feeling unhappy, I just
try and think of nice things.
LOUISA AND MARTA:What kind of things?
MARIA:Uh .. well, let me see, nice things. Daffodils. Green meadows. Skies
full of stars. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens ...
(sings)
... Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
(More thunder. The children cower.)
MARIA (sings):
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
(Maria puts her arms around Marta and Gretl.)
MARTA:Does it really work?
MARIA:Of course it does. You try it. What things do you like?

LOUISA:
GRETL:

MARIA:Gesundheit! See what fun it is?
(sings)
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
The children watch her expectantly. Maria and Oscar Hammerstein are running
out of favorite things to sing about. Maria puts a hand to her head and her
eyes widen -- she decides to repeat some stanzas.
MARIA (sings)
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

When the dog bi--
(The music abruptly stops as Maria suddenly runs into the Captain who stands
in the doorway with a disapproving frown.)
MARIA:... dog bites ... uh ...
(She steps back. The children, more terrified of their father than the
thunder, line up in a row at attention.)
MARIA:(cheerfully) Uh, hello ...
CAPTAIN:Fraulein, did I not tell you that bedtime is to be strictly
observed in this house?
MARIA:Well, the children were upset by the storm, so I thought that if I ...
You did, sir.
CAPTAIN:And do you or do you not have difficulty remembering such simple
instructions?
MARIA (defiantly):Only during thunderstorms, sir.
(Kurt laughs).
CAPTAIN:Liesl?
LIESL:Yes, father?
CAPTAIN:I don't recall seeing you anywhere after dinner.
LIESL:Oh, really? Well, as a matter of fact --
CAPTAIN:Yes?
LIESL:Well, I-I was, I was...
MARIA:Uh, what she would like to say, Captain, is that, uh, she and I have
been getting better acquainted tonight. But it's much too late now to go into
all that. Come along children. You heard your father. Go back to bed
immediately.
(As the children run out the room, Maria picks up her robe. The Captain turns
toward the door, watching the children go.)
CAPTAIN:Fraulein, you have managed to remember that I'm leaving in
the morning?
(Maria nods.)
CAPTAIN:Is it also possible that you remember that the first rule in this
house is discipline?
(She nods again, reluctantly.)
CAPTAIN:Then I trust that before I return you will have acquired some?
MARIA:Captain? Uh, I wonder if, before you go, I could talk to you about
some clothes for the children ...
CAPTAIN:Fraulein Maria ...
MARIA:... for when they play. If I could just have some material ...
CAPTAIN:You are obviously many things, not the least of which is
repetitious.
MARIA:But they're children!
CAPTAIN:Yes. And I am their father. Good night.
