“蓝调音乐”背后的文化,美国黑人民间音乐为何演变成了大众音乐
“蓝调音乐”背后的文化,美国黑人民间音乐为何演变成了大众音乐“音乐”是每个国家存在的一种艺术表现形式,在艺术界占据着重要的地位,随着时代的发展,人们的生活压力紧随其来,人们的情绪得不到释放,于是音乐便成为人们释放情绪、压力的一种表现形式,成为人们情感失意时的寄托,其中,在西方社会中,最著名的就是“蓝调音乐”了,蓝调音乐是美国音乐文化的精神土壤,也是其艺术发展过程中的重要组成部分,蓝调音乐与美国音乐文化具有交融的传统价值。
一、蓝调音乐是一种即兴演唱的音乐文化,圣歌、颂歌是他们通过口述来表达的艺术文化,蓝调是美国黑人音乐的重要载体,美国黑人通过音乐来表达自己内心的痛苦与忧愁19世纪末期,当进化论思想在美国社会中掀起浪潮的时候,一种表达黑人情感的蓝调音乐产生了,蓝调最初是美国黑人在田家劳作时的一种民间歌曲,是一种即兴演唱的音乐文化,蓝调音乐的产生,随着黑人的传播和口述,逐渐进入艺术人类学家的视线,这种通过口述来表达的传统文化与使用文字来表达的精英传统恰恰相反。
当时民俗学科的研究对蓝调音乐的发展起到了一个至关重要的作用,民俗学科与人类学科有关,但是又是一门相对独立的学科。
这门学科从民俗文化与各个角度进行了跨文化的比较,对于美洲黑人来说,圣歌、颂歌是他们文化中生动而又活跃的口头艺术文化,尤其是作为个人情感表达和私人交流的载体。
诗歌是北美黑人社会中常见的口头艺术,在所有的音乐文化中,歌词是诗歌的组成部分,加上手势、道具来加以朗诵的诗歌使诗歌变成了原始戏剧,而戏剧如果与音乐相结合来演出的话,就会变成公众庆典,美国内战结束后,美国黑人获得了他们期盼已久的自由,可是他们的生活状态丝毫没有改变,充满了苦难,他们继续遭受着白人的歧视与压迫,生活在社会底层的边缘。
这个时期,“蓝调音乐”开始逐渐成熟。
音乐的主题大部分都是他们在自由面前的迷茫和他们得到自由后发现并没有改变现状后的失落,蓝调发展的黄金时期是20世纪60年代,美国民权运动发兴起给这种音乐艺术的发展注入了新鲜的血液,造就了一批知名的蓝调歌手。

这其中到底蕴藏着什么玄机呢?Two Buckets①There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best.Every morning, the gardener would fill up the two buckets. Then he would carry them along the path, one on each side, to the flowerbeds. The new bucket ②was very proud of itself. ③It could carry a full bucket of water without a single drop spilled. The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.Sometimes the new bucket would say, "See how capable I am! How good it is that the gardener has me to water the flowers every day! I don't know why he still bothers with you. What a waste of space you are!"And all that the old bucket could say was, "I know I am not very useful, but I can only do my best. I am happy that the gardener still finds a little bit of use in me, ④at least."One day, the gardener heard that kind of conversation. After watering the flowers ⑤as usual, he said, "You both have done your work very well. Now I am going to carry you back. I want you to look carefully along the path."Then the two buckets did so. All along the path, they noticed, on the side where the new bucket was carried, there was just bare earth; one the other side where the old bucket was carried, there was a joyous row of wild flowers, leading all the way to the garden.两只水桶从前有一个花匠,他精心地照管着自己的花园。

美国流行音乐浅谈v1.02
美国流行音乐浅谈流行音乐,是音乐类型的一种,指以迎合广大观众口味为主要目的而创作的音乐。
它是商业性的音乐消遣娱乐以及与此相关的一切“工业”现象。
流行音乐19世纪末20世纪初起源于美国。
其风格多样,形态丰富,可泛指Jazz、Rock、Soul、Blues、Reggae、Rap、Hip-Hop、Disco、New Age等20世纪以后诞生的都市化大众音乐。
在此我们重点分析和了解美国流行音乐其中的几个具有代表性的音乐类型。
1.爵士乐爵士乐是19世纪末在新奥尔良首先发展起来的。
爵士乐自诞生以来,风格在不断地发生着变化。
既有音乐家们对不同风格本身的探索、融合与创新,也有他们对爵士乐商业化现象的不满而进行的努力。
爵士乐从它诞生之日起至今,一直存在着争议,褒贬不一,但爵士乐的影响力已远远超越了流行音乐本身。
我们在20世纪西方许多严肃音乐家的作品中都能找到爵士乐的痕迹。
这些音乐家有德彪西、拉威尔、斯特拉文斯基。
而美国作曲家格什文的《兰色狂想曲》、《一个美国人在巴黎》则是把爵士乐融入到现代严肃音乐中的典范。
2.乡村音乐乡村音乐最早叫山区音乐,这种音乐形式的形成始于20世纪20年代的美国南方各州农业地区。
它是英国移民流传下来的,自然也就带有许多英国民歌的风格。
后来又受到其他民族音乐的影响而发展起来,直到第二次世界大战以后才开始流行全美国,被称作为乡村音乐。
乡村音乐的形成初期,其风格带有较多的乡土气息,歌词内容涉及家庭、恋爱、流浪、宗教等,其歌曲带有一定的叙述性和分节歌的形式,音乐伴奏常用小提琴、班卓或吉他。
3.摇滚乐50年代开始流行音乐呈现一种多元化的趋势。
随着科学技术的进步,电声乐器的出现以及大批农村居民涌入城市,给城市的流行音乐注入了丰实的乡村音乐和一些其它民间音乐的新鲜血液,促进了摇滚乐的发展。
早期摇滚乐歌手有普雷斯利、贝里、多米诺、刘弗斯、埃弗利兄弟等。
19 6 4年,英国“披头士”乐队(也有人译作“甲壳虫”乐队)首次在美国做访问演出,引起狂热反应。
关于美国黑人爵士音乐的探讨
关于美国黑人爵士音乐的探讨摘要:黑人爵士音乐是流行音乐发展的基石,该音乐起源于上世纪,在短短的一百年的时间里,深刻的改变了当前音乐审美思想与音乐的发展方向,并对当前的音乐审美标准造成冲击,展现出独特的文化特点。
基于此,本文从当前美国黑人爵士音乐的起源入手,深入分析其音乐蕴含的元素与特征,明确其现阶段的发展,以供参考。
关键词:美国黑人爵士音乐;起源;发展引言:美国受其自身的发展影响,其音乐发展起步较晚,直到上世纪才逐渐形成完善的独立风格。
美国音乐风格是以欧洲的正统音乐、黑人音乐以及其它音乐在长期的交流与碰撞过程中形成的,吸收各种音乐的成分,其中黑人民间世俗音乐对其产生的影响尤为明显,利用黑人音乐自身的风格内涵,引领美国音乐创新发展。
一、美国黑人爵士乐的起源发展上世纪初期,在加勒比海与美洲之间存在一条十分繁华的水上贸易航线,被称为密西西比航线,在每日的工作结束后,当地的船夫、田间的黑奴会在闲暇时间在广场上进行相聚,并利用非洲鼓、班卓琴等乐器进行表演,通过歌曲曲调来思念家乡,抒发自身的思乡之情。
在不断的发展过程中,逐渐进行创新发展,吸收各方面的音乐元素,形成最终的爵士乐队。
在美国黑人爵士音乐发展过程中,主要受两种发展潮流影响,一种是“拉格泰姆”,另一种是“布鲁斯”,两种风格均源自于黑人最原始的粗狂节奏与复杂的格调,展现出黑人音乐的朴实无华与无拘无束,通过内心最真实的表达,实现音乐的发展。
二、美国黑人爵士音乐的元素相对来说,如果欧洲西方国家的音乐以理性为特点,那么非洲音乐则是以原始的感性音乐为特点,在逐渐的发展过程中,黑人与白人逐渐将文化进行融合发展,为当前的爵士乐发展奠定了良好的基础,最终成为当前的潮流音乐。
实际上,在音乐的发展过程中,音乐的融合时间较长,甚至是整个二十世纪都在进行一场浩大的音乐发展,促使爵士乐不断融合新鲜的元素,转变自身的形象,但始终保持自身的根基与独特的风格,经过长期的发展,形成完善的音乐体系[1]。

Rock&roll was originated in the late 1940s of the United States, and became popular in the early 1950s in the world. The young people around the world are attracted by rock&roll with its flexible bold expression and passion music rhythm expression of emotion. 摇滚是一种音乐类型,起源于1940年代末期 的美国,1950年代早期开始流行,迅速风靡全球。 摇滚乐以其灵活大胆的表现形式和富有激情的音 乐节奏表达情感,被全世界年轻人所吸引。
The classical period古典主义时期(约公元1750—1820) Sonata奏鸣曲
Romanticism浪漫主义时期(约为公元1820—1900) This period of music paid more attention to express one's mental state and subjective feelings.Folk music is used frequently. 这一时期的音乐更注重表达人的民间音乐的利用更加重视与频繁。
Portions(部分) of the culture began spreading into the mainstream during the early 1980s; by the 1990s, hip hop culture had spread all over the world.
美国流行音乐探析
美国流行音乐探析在西方世界,长期以来欣赏音乐的人大多是社会上和文化上的高级阶层,而给广大普通人留下的只是音乐文化上的相对贫困。
“Pop music”(大众/流行音乐)从其诞生以来就没有这种阶级观念,也没有肤色之分,欣赏者也不需要专门的技能。
Jazz、 Country music、 Rock and Roll和Disco便是给美国文化和历史带来深远影响的几种大众音乐形式,它们都在美国流行乐坛流行多年并仍然在流行着。
Jazz爵士乐Jazz,爵士乐,是第一种真正属于美国人原创的艺术形式。
爵士乐是具有浓厚西非文化色彩的音乐形式,是黑人的Blues(蓝调)和Ragtime(拉格泰姆或散拍)两种音乐形式的结合体。
前者赋予Jazz以旋律,是十八世纪中叶起被贩卖到美国南部庄园为奴的黑人所哼的劳动歌曲、灵歌(spiritual)和田间号子三者的结合,其吟唱的内容自然与黑人的悲惨命运有着不可分割的联系,是黑人借以悲叹命运与生活、发泄愤恨、渴望自由与爱情的工具。
而Ragtime给Jazz注入了节奏(rhythm),使Jazz具有了节奏的舞蹈性。
如果说Blues是一种纯粹的“大众音乐形式”,Ragtime则似乎成了比较有教养的音乐,热衷于后者的多为钢琴演奏者。
从所使用的乐器来看,早期的Jazz演奏家多用小号、长号、单簧管、小提琴、大号、班卓琴(banjo)和吉他等。
前四件为“前线乐器”(front line instrument,即演奏旋律的乐器),后三件为“节奏乐器”(rhythm instrument)。
后来低音提琴、贝司和吉他取代了大号与班卓琴,但爵士乐队(Jazz Band)的组成始终比较大。
Jazz最突出的特点是其演奏的即兴性(improvisation),即创作与演奏是同时进行的。
因此即便是同一爵士演奏者演奏同一首Jazz,也不会出现两次完全相同的演奏。
Jazz的另一特点是以演奏为主,演唱为辅。
美国南北战争(the Civil War)后遗留下来的军乐队和南方随处可见的酒馆为Jazz的诞生分别提供了创作者和舞台。
