冼星海与施光南音乐创作的“人民性”之比较

摘要

Affinity to the masses is the highest pursuit of arts. Xian Xinghai and Shi Guangnan are only two composers known as peopleˊs musicians in the modern history of music. They live in two different times;the content and the form of their creation posses their respective characteristics;in their music works, affinity to the masses show some differences. Xian Xinghai lived in the times of the anti-Japanese war and in his music work affinity to the masses is mainly embodied in saving the nation from extinction, resisting aggression. Shi Guangnan is a composer in the growth of new China and the thick love of the country is the theme of his music work. The common features of their affinity to the masses are mainly manifested as the following: firmly grasping the theme of the times; sincere patriotic passion integrated into music; the soul of national music going throughout their writing career to display the strongest note of the era. This paper tries to compare affinity to the masses between Xian Xinghaiˊs and Shi Guangnanˊs music creation and explore the reasons why they become peopleˊs musicians, aiming to provide enlightenment and reference forthe music creation of modern Chinese composers.%“人民性”是艺术的最高追求，冼星海和施光南是近代音乐史上仅有的两位被誉为“人民音乐家”的作曲家，他们生活在两个完全不同的时代，创作的内容和形式各具特色，音乐作品的“人民性”表现出一定差异。冼星海生活在抗战时代，他的作品的“人民性”主要体现为“救国救亡，反抗侵略”；施光南是和新中国一起成长起来的一位作曲家，浓浓的“乡国之爱”成为其作品“人民性”的核心主题。冼星海与施光南音乐作品“人民性”的共性主要表现为他们都牢牢把握时代主题，把滚烫、赤诚的爱国热情融入音乐创作，把民族音乐的灵魂贯穿于创作生涯，奏响时代的最强音符。文章试通过比较冼星海和施光南音乐创作的“人民性”，探索他们成为“人民音乐家”的原因，力图为现代中国作曲家的音乐创作提供启迪和借鉴。
