1. MONO AGAPI (Only love) -by Giannis Parios in Greek
2. Dance Me to The End of Love - by Leonard Cohen
*****************************
近些年来因欣赏一些来自希腊的世界著名音乐大师如Vangelis,yanni等优美作品,对希腊音乐越发兴趣,并想从中感受其更多文化特征.最近欣赏的Giannis Parios演绎的希腊歌曲大多旋律婉转流畅,乐器伴奏风格独特,民族风格旋律与通俗演绎及节奏完美结合形成浓郁地方民族风格,其中MONO AGAPI (Only love)更是优美浪漫,情真意浓,令人沉醉其中.查找此歌曲起源,竟发现是"DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE"另一延伸演绎版.经比较,很难找到相似风格,且艺术效果明显不同.."DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE"虽浪漫,但歌者演绎,女声和声使整个曲风更多了些忧郁,唯美中散发着颓废
网上查找Giannis Parios资料,相关信息很少,只说明希腊名歌手,七十年代出道.
琴键上的舞蹈关于二者旋律简洁分析如下:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Only love"是"Dance Me To The End of Love"的变体:
第一首一进入的感觉就是:亲爱的和我一起舞动吧,舞动生命的旋律,舞动爱的乐章,永不停息。。。Only love 是DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE 的变体。两者节奏是相同的,前者多了个三连音的陪衬贯穿整个乐曲,使旋律又有了起伏跳跃,荡漾的感觉,多了一份欢快和幸福,几许忧伤。后者比较低迷颓废些。
"DANCE ME TO THE END OF LOVE"被译为"舞至爱之终结",其创作灵感来源于曾获诺贝尔文学奖的赫尔曼黑塞的著名小说《流浪者之歌》。该剧将舞台和音乐舞蹈结合起来,展现了一位年轻流浪者征服苦难和恐惧的历程。他一路走来,经历了浮华和金钱的诱惑,经历了感观的欢愉,也经历了邪恶化身撒旦的死亡威胁,最后在那流动不息的大河感召下成为一摆渡人,命运得以圆满。该剧在视觉上给观众以巨大冲击,且全剧伴随着加拿大歌手兼诗人雷奥纳多可和那诗意的歌声,袅袅不绝。
诗既为一种有韵律感的文体,自然容易与歌相辅相成,然而放眼歌坛之中,称得上诗人的却寥寥可数,李欧纳.柯恩(Leonard Cohen)就是其中一位。有人称他为「摇滚乐界的拜伦」,和其他几位具诗人特质的创作歌手比起来,柯恩没有传奇的Jim Morrison那样迷幻颓废,也不似庞克女王Patti Smith的叛逆敏感,更不同于Chris de Burgh的优雅华美,或Bob Dylan的任重道远,柯恩就是柯恩,一颗总在深思的孤独的灵魂,...一个不爱穿牛仔裤的老嬉皮,他的歌与诗,看似平淡质朴却十分耐嚼。
"Dance Me To The End Of Love"
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
