第三十二期：Music Atoms - A Study of Interval
概要
好久没有更新YPC系列啦～说起理由真的是很搞笑但又很真实：因为我家电视看bilibili不是很方便！(Please don’t judge me 😳) Anyway，趁着出门在外的日子把这个系列再更新起来吧～
这一期是比较“理论”的一期，讲的是 interval (音程）这个概念。Bernstein说一个音符不能称之为音乐，至少需要两个音符，才能组成音乐性的关系，而随着音符的增多，音乐便从这些“关系”中诞生。在这里他又开展了他的类比大法：一个音符只能当作是一个电子或一个质子，无法单独存在，而至少需要再来一个才能组成最基础的原子，再结合一下组成分子，组成物质。而这至少两个音符组成的关系被称作 interval （音程）。接下来，Bernstein 用尺子为道具具体介绍了音程的概念，介绍了 inversion, Melodic (horizontal) interval, Harmonic (vertical) interval 等诸多概念，并让现场观众演唱了各种音程。最后Bernstein用两首曲目介绍了音程在作曲中的应用。第一首是 Brahms 的 Symphony No.4 第一乐章，其主题是由 3rd 和 6th （为 3rd 的 inversion）组成，并将 3rd 贯穿全曲。第二首介绍的曲目是 Vaughan Williams 的 Symphony No.4 的最后一个乐章。这首 Symphony 在前三个乐章里各种利用 minor 2nd，听起来非常刺激，而在最后一个乐章的 finale 终于出现了 major 2nd～ 虽然 major 2nd在各种音程中也算是不和谐的了，但是在那么多 minor 2nd 的铺垫下，简直就是迎来了一片曙光～ Bernstein 总结非常精辟，”There you have the real magic of intervals: in the hands of a composer who's a genius, a modest, humble little major second can have a mountainous majesty.”
喜欢的Quote
One simple note all by itself is not music — not even a single molecule of music, not even an atom. It's more like a proton or an electron, which, as you know, is meaningless all by itself; you need at least one of each — at least two atomic particles — to create an atom. And in exactly the same way you need at least two notes before you can begin to have an atom of music. Because with that one lonely note, isolated, nothing is happening, it's just floating in space. But once you have two notes [FLUTE] you suddenly feel a relationship between them, like an electrical tension. There's already the beginning of a musical meaning. And with three notes, that meaning increases and before you know it, [BLUE DANUBE]. You see what happened: those musical protons and electrons —the separate notes that is — have combined together forming atoms, which then combined into molecules, which finally combined into recognizable matter, like this wood or this hair, or that Blue Danube Waltz.
Now obviously, major seconds aren't all that wide-open compared to fourths for instance, or fifths which are really wide open; but compared to the scrunchy little minor seconds, which we've been hearing in every conceivable form for three whole movements, this major second seems like the gates of Heaven itself. And there you have the real magic of intervals: in the hands of a composer who's a genius, a modest, humble little major second can have a mountainous majesty.

第三十三期: The Sound of an Orchestra
概要
这一期虽然叫《管弦乐团之声》，其实说的是“作曲家之声”。伯恩斯坦认为管弦乐团的工作是将作曲家心中的音响带给大家，而不是表达自己的个性。节目开场先用一种非常甜腻的手法演奏了 Haydn 的 Symphony No.88 （报幕还拿非常花的花体写标题 😂），然后伯恩斯坦深入分析了他们做错了什么：包括过多的揉弦，散漫的节奏，过于极端的表达，还有过大的乐团等等，并当场请走了一堆乐手😆 最后又以比较正常的 Haydn 的风格演奏完了这首曲子。接下来他让各种乐器展现了一下他们如何演绎不同作曲家的声音，先是以 Brahms 和 Debussy 为例，分别代表德式和法式的音响，再是以 Stravinsky, Gershwin 和 Copland 为例，说明即使是现代的音乐，管弦乐团也需要通过不同的技巧诠释出作曲家的声音。

The sound of a great orchestra is one that can change, at will from one composer's style to another, from Haydn to Brahms to Debussy to Stravinsky. Anything else is a sin of pride.
So where does that leave us with this so-called "sound of an orchestra?" Nowhere. There's no such thing—or at least, there shouldn't be. All that matters is the sound of the composer.

第三十四期：A Birthday Tribute to Shostakovich
概要
这一期是给肖斯塔科维奇庆生，节目播出的年份他刚要60岁。伯恩斯坦提到了他1959年和纽约爱乐团一起去俄国和肖斯塔科维奇见面的经历。肖斯塔科维奇给他的印象是一个非常内向的人，虽然他的音乐一点都不害羞，反而是非常有力量。这期节目伯恩斯坦以肖七开场，并非常详细的介绍了肖九的各个乐章，讲其中的诸多幽默，的确很有生日派对的氛围😂
喜欢的Quote
When the New York Philharmonic and I visited Russia, back in 1959, I had the pleasure and privilege of meeting Shostakovich. And I had an impression of a very reserved man, speaking very little, a bit nervous, and very shy. I suspect that that is the true nature of the man, but you'd never know it from hearing his music. As a composer he has a great deal to say, serious or light, whatever it happens to be, and he says it with enormous confidence, ease, and boldness. I suppose that's one of the most fascinating things about artists—how different they can be, as people, from the art they create. The most sure-handed painter may be very insecure in his daily life; the greatest writer may have trouble spelling the simplest words; the most intelligent physicist may be incapable of adding up an ordinary grocery bill.

分享一首上周去 BSO 听到的曲目（lol转眼一周就过去了）：George Enescu 的 Romanian Rhapsody in A, Opus II, No.1. 之前我完全没有听说过这位作曲家，但是 BSO 的 program notes 里介绍他超厉害：小提琴，钢琴，指挥，作曲，教学样样精通。里面还提到有一晚的演奏会上，小提琴中提琴大提琴他全都拉了个遍🤯
说回这首曲子，最先开创Rhapsody先河的就是大家都耳熟能详的李斯特的 Hungarian Rhapsodies了～ rhapsody 这个词来自于希腊语的 rhaposode，由rhaptein （意为缝补）和 odein （意为歌唱）组成，所以可以理解为把几首歌缝合在一起。从 Hungarian Rhaposodies 开始，这个形制就主要是展示各种民间音乐和传统音乐～在这首 Romanian Rhapsodies 里 Enescu 使用了很多罗马尼亚的民间音乐旋律，但又含有德式浪漫主义元素和法式印象派元素。总体来说是一个听起来非常欢快，但又很丰富的作品～

第三十六期： What is a Mode?
概要
这一期伯恩斯坦介绍了音乐中 mode 的概念。这期的缘起是他的女儿问他一首披头士的歌的和弦，他跟她说这首歌是中古调式的然后她女儿很感兴趣～虽然这个词看起来很高级，但伯恩斯坦用两句话就解释完了😂: Modes are simple scales. A scale is simply a way of dividing up the distance between any note and the same note repeated an octave higher. 接下来的时间就是介绍了各种 modes，也就是各种 -ian们 🤣 而且用了很多例子展示他们的运用，干货满满～
喜欢的 Quote
The word Dorian obviously comes from the Greek, and in fact, as well as the other modes we're about to discover, does come originally from the music of ancient Greece. We don't know too much about that old Greek music: What we do know is that the Greek modes eventually made their way to Rome and were taken up by the Roman Catholic church during the Middle Ages in a somewhat different form. But the church kept the old Greek names for the modes: Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian, and Ionian.
From about the time of Bach until the beginning of our own century—roughly two hundred years—our Western music has been based almost exclusively on only two modes—the major and the minor.
And in the music of our own century, when composers have gotten tired of being stuck with major and minor all the time, there has been a big revival of those old pre-Bach modes. That's why Debussy used them so much, and other modern composers like Hindemith and Stravinsky, and almost all the young song writers of today's exciting pop music scene.

第三十七期：Charles Ives: American Pioneer
概要
这期介绍的是美国作曲家 Charles Ives～ 这哥们主业是保险推销员，在工作之余创作了一大堆非常先锋的作品（远早于勋伯格或者斯特拉文斯基进行的那些实验），或者按照伯恩斯坦的说法：有趣的作品。在他的作品中有不同的节奏同时演奏，有非常dissonance的音符，还有对各种熟悉旋律的”搞怪“演绎。当然有趣只是他音乐的一方面，伯恩斯坦还提到他对熟悉曲调的演绎蕴涵了一种他对过去小镇生活时光的回忆，那些熟悉的曲调随着时间的流逝好像变得模糊不清。除了热爱他的家乡，歌曲 Lincoln, The Great Commoner 展现了 Ives 爱国主义的一面。最后，伯恩斯坦指挥了 Ives 最著名的作品 The Unanswered Question，这周曲子直接直指人类的终极哲学问题 why do we exist：这首作品的构思很有意思，小号问了七次问题，木管们试图回答，回答越来越快越来越 gibberish，而与此同时弦乐们轻柔的演奏着他们自己的旋律，很像现在的 ambience music。在小号最后一次问出问题之后，木管们没有回答，空留“宇宙之声”回响 🌌

Just imagine: in those early 1900's what was called "crazy modern music" consisted of Debussy, Ravel, and Richard Strauss — all composers we think of today as pretty stodgy old-timers. And yet, in those very same years, this Connecticut Yankee named Ives was already madly pursuing his own off beat ideas, writing music that no one could decipher, no one could play, and no one cared to hear.
But really to understand Ives, or any adventurer for that matter, we must remember that the spirit of adventure is just another way of saying the spirit of play, the sporting instinct — doing things simply for the fun of doing them.
Now I've always thought that word fun was unjustly belittled; it's a wonderful word; and I believe it applies just as much to music as to roller-coaster rides or swimming or movies.

Anyway, holiday season 即将临近（当然这是欧美-biased的holiday season），在各处看到了很多 Christmas Advent Calendar～我们两位频道主商量后决定一起做一个古典音乐主题的 Advent Calendar, 让我们在2022年的末尾一起听听音乐，一起抱团取暖，抚慰抚慰自己疲惫的心灵～
今天分享一首经典的，每次听都觉得很温暖的曲目：舒伯特的 Ave Maria～分享的版本是 Issac Stern的小提琴和交响乐团版。

Anyway, holiday season 即将临近（当然这是欧美-biased的holiday season），在各处看到了很多 Christmas Advent Calendar～我们两位频道主商量后决定一起做一个古典音乐主题的 Advent Calendar, 让我们在2022年的末尾一起听听音乐，一起抱团取暖，抚慰抚慰自己疲惫的心灵～
今天分享一首经典的，每次听都觉得很温暖的曲目：舒伯特的 Ave Maria～分享的版本是 Issac Stern的小提琴和交响乐团版。
