合唱经典:莫扎特的《c小调大弥撒》(Gro?e Messe in c-Moll,1782-1783)
文章来源: Chang_Le2018-07-19 06:12:02

莫扎特是西方音乐史上古典主义时期重要的代表人物之一,是非常全面多产的作曲家,仅弥撒就作有18部之多。其中以《c小调大弥撒》和《安魂曲》(安魂弥撒)最为著名,今天先欣赏《c小调大弥撒》。为什么叫“大弥撒”? 可能是为了和作曲家先前写的另一部《c小调弥撒》(K. 139 ,1768)加以区分。

如果看过电影《莫扎特传》(Amadeus,1984),可能还记得下面的场景:

萨里埃利翻看着手稿,被莫扎特的才华惊呆了。。。在手稿滑落之前那段天籁般的女高音 ,就是出自我们要欣赏的《c小调大弥撒》。

 

这部作品由以下四个部分共13个分段组成:

第一部分:“慈悲经”(Kyrie),1个分段;

第二部分:“荣耀经”(Gloria),8个分段;

第三部分:“信经”(Credo),两个分段;

第四部分:“圣哉经”(Sanctus),1个分段;

第五部分:“降幅经” (Benedictus),1个分段。

可以看出,与通常的弥撒相比,以上结构缺少“羔羊经”,而且“信经”部分也不完全,因此被认为是一部未完成的作品。已经完成的部分于1783年在萨尔斯堡首演。作品由两个女高音(当代演出有时是一个女高音,一个女中音),一个男高音,一个男低音,两个合唱队以及一个大型管弦乐队表演。全曲时长约55到60分钟。

这部作品没有完成的原因并不清楚。实际上,完成的部分已经非常完美。后世有人把这部弥撒与巴赫的《B小调弥撒》和贝多芬的《D大调庄严弥撒》并称为世界最伟大的三部弥撒。

下面是作品的第一部分“垂怜经”。其中女高音独唱的旋律跌宕起伏又自然流畅如行云流水,感情的表达深沉而又生动,是整部作品中最出色的亮点之一。这段音像由英国皇家斯特霍姆乐团(Royal Stockholm Phillarmonic Orchestra)和蒙特威尔第合唱团(Monteverdi Choir)演出,加德纳(John Eliot Gardiner)指挥,演出年代不详:
