曾毓忠：《第二種氛圍》為單黃管、小提琴與鋼琴之單樂章三重奏

此首作品乃是繼2003年校慶音樂會作品《一種氛圍 ( 為弦樂團合奏 ) 之後相同系列作品的第二號小品。雖是為單黃管、小提琴與鋼琴而創作之三重奏單樂章，但是在效果上卻幾乎是一首四重奏，在樂曲過程當中，四個聲部不斷地交織著進行發展。此作品建構於以下特色：1‧二十世紀無調 ( Atonality ) 音樂風格， 2‧大量的不協和音程 ( 如m2、 M7、 A4 ) ，3‧快速的音群， 4‧許多休止留白， 5‧忽快忽慢彈性速度；創作者試圖透過這些特色之運用與佈局，以鋪陳與營造一種詼諧、古怪且伴隨著一絲神秘感的氛圍。

達瑪斯：三重奏，給長笛、豎笛和鋼琴

音樂風格優雅、迷人的法國現代作曲家達瑪斯 ( 1928~ ) ，不同於其他法國作曲家音樂抽象、充滿象徵性，反而有一種布爾喬亞、城市的趣味，更貼近法國音樂院的傳統，比如這首三重奏作品。達瑪斯是上世紀鋼琴大師柯爾托的弟子，早年他以鋼琴家聞名。1947年，以一部清唱劇《美女甦醒》 ( Et la belle se r éveilla ) 獲得「羅馬大獎」，之後寫作包括歌劇、芭蕾、管絃樂、室內樂、聲樂等作品，是位多產的現代作曲家。也曾擔任波爾多歌劇院的指揮，是一位多才多藝的音樂家。

梅湘《時間終了》四重奏

有宗教神祕經驗的法國現代作曲家梅湘 ( 1908-1992 ) ，1941年二次大戰期間，遭德軍俘虜於波蘭 Silesia 地區 Görlitz 集中營時，受〈啟示錄〉第十章激發寫下這首與「神」有關的室內樂作品。他引用聖經：「我看見另一個力大的天使，乘著雲朵從天而降，頭上有著彩虹，臉像太陽一樣閃爍著，雙腳像火柱，右腳踏海，左腳踏地。......我所看見那腳踏海洋與地的天使，像天舉起右手，起誓說：『時日已不再，但是在第七位天使發聲之日，上帝的奧祕，就成全了，正如上帝傳給他的僕人，眾先知的佳音。』」

同年1月15日由同時在集中營的小提琴家布雷爾 ( Jean Le Boulaire ) 、大提琴家帕斯奇也 ( Etienne Pasquier ) 、豎笛家阿科卡 ( Henri Akoka ) 擔任首演，作曲家彈奏鋼琴。當時的首演，雖然是使用音準有誤、枯燥的鋼琴聲、與缺絃的大提琴，卻仍然吸引集中營的聽眾。曲中巧妙的使用逆行的節奏技巧，加上使用基督教中第八日的含意，設計八個樂章，更增添許多神秘的色彩。( 第七日是休息日，是神的安息日--將休息的第七日無窮延伸，成為永遠的光與不變、平穩的第八日。)

第一樂章〈水晶的禮拜〉： 下午三點至四點間，鳥兒甦醒，無數的聲音，穿過樹林消失在遙遠、被顫抖之光包圍的高處，獨奏的喜鵲，反覆擴散的黃鶯即興演奏。

第二樂章〈韻母，為了宣告時間終了的天使〉： 鋼琴以強有力的和絃表現這有力的天使。平靜的中段，鋼琴成為甜美的瀑布、遠處的鐘聲，襯托著小提琴與大提琴柔和、虔敬的聖樂風格。

第三樂章 ( 鳥兒們的深淵〉 豎笛獨奏。深淵，那是悲傷與倦怠的「時刻」。鳥兒們，這是與「時刻」對立。那是人們對光、星、虹與歡喜的願望。

第四樂章〈間奏曲〉： 詼諧曲，小提琴、大提琴與豎笛的三重奏。一開始強有力的齊奏，與前樂章幽微的性格成對比，當中的旋律出現在第六樂章，而產生「循環」 ( cycle ) 的曲式。

第五樂章〈耶穌永恆的頌歌〉： 大提琴與鋼琴的二重奏。莊重、神聖的大提琴宛如耶穌的「聖言」，在鋼琴猶如的鐘聲伴奏下，奏出悠遠、抒情的旋律，如「希伯來書」第一章十二節「惟有你永不改變，你的年齡永不窮盡」。

第六樂章〈七隻號角的狂舞〉： 四個樂器齊奏，象徵了〈啟示錄〉中「各種破局，依序以六支號角奏出，告示神的奧義成就第七支天使的號角」，在此作曲家也表達光輝的意象，承諾「時間將不再」。

第七樂章 ( 彩虹的困惑，為了宣告時間終了的天使〉 第二樂章的旋律在此重現。作曲家說：「充滿力量的天使，披著彩虹出現 ( 彩虹象徵平穩與賢知，光與音的振動 ) 。在夢中，我聽到被分類的和絃與旋律，觀得色與彩。移行階段之後，我在非現實中進行，在恍惚、暈眩中，感覺到超人的陰雨色彩浸透了我。這些火箭、藍橙色的熔岩流出，突然出現的星，便有錯亂與虹！ 」

第八樂章〈耶穌永不朽的頌歌〉小提琴與第五樂章的大提琴呼應，微小提琴的獨奏。此樂章是耶穌的第二形象「身為人的耶穌」，是作曲家傾向於生命的「聖言」，推向高音域頂點緩慢的上揚，是作曲家表達人向「神」，「神」之子向「父」，往天堂上升的意象。

YU-CHUNG TSENG：Trio for violin, clarinet and piano This piece was created as a sequel for the work Atmosphere, for string orchestra, which the trio performed at their school’s anniversary concert in 2003. While strictly a piece to be played by a trio of violin, clarinet, and piano, it also has the effect of sounding like a quartet. Throughout, four separate parts intertwine to feature the atonality of the 20th century. With variable speed, dissonance, and dramatic pauses, the three instruments together create a mystical, lighthearted, and eerie atmosphere. J. M. DAMASE：Trio for flute, clarinet and piano Damase, (1928-present) is a contemporary French composer known for his graceful and enchanting style. Unlike other French composers who employ abstract and interpretative styles, Damase tries to create a taste of the city and bourgeoisie style, which is closer to French tradition. This work for a trio is a good example. In his early years, Damase was known as a pianist and he won the Prix de Rome with his cantata Et la belle se r éveilla in 1947. Subsequently he created various works for opera, ballet, string orchestra and chamber music. He is a multi-talented musician and has also worked as the conductor of Bordeaux opera house. O. MESSIAEN：Quatuor pour la fin du temps Messiaen was a French contemporary composer (1908-1992) who had a mystical religious experience. During the second world war (1941), when Messiaen was captured and imprisoned in Go¨rlitz concentration camp in Silesia, Poland, he was inspired by the book of Revelations in the Bible and wrote this piece about God. In the same year, the piece was premiered with several musicians who were also imprisoned in the camp, including violinist Jean Le Boulaire, cellist Etienne Pasquier, and clarinetist Henri Akoka while Messiaen played the piano himself. Although the instruments used were in bad condition, the piece attracted a large audience in the camp. The work is composed of 8 movements, symbolizing eight special days in Christianity and a bit of mystic feeling. (As the seventh day is the Sabbath, the day on which God rested, the association with infinity of the seventh day causes it to be symbolic of eternal light and the eighth day with the peace tha, then comes from such.) 1st Movement：Liturgie de cristal “Between three and four in the morning, the awakening of birds：a solo blackbird or nightingale improvises, surrounded by a shimmer of sound, by a halo of trills lost very high in the trees. Transpose this onto a religious plane and you have the harmonious silence of Heaven.” 2nd Movement：Vocalise, pour I’Ange qui announce la fin du Temps： The piano represents the powerful angel with strong chords. The piano becomes a peacefully sweet waterfall and a bell from afar during a segment in the middle, while the violin and cello provide a gentle and religious hymn music. 3rd Movement：Abîme des oiseaux Solo for clarinet. “The abyss is Time with its sadness, its weariness. The birds are the opposite to Time； they are our desire for light, for stars, for rainbows, and for jubilant songs.” 4th Movement：intermède It is a scherzo of trio by violin, cello and clarinet. The powerful unison in the beginning forms a strong contrast to the previous movement, and the melody is reprised in the 6th movement to form a cycle. 5th Movement：Louange à I’Éternité de Jésus A duet for the cello and piano. Solemn and holy music from cello evoke the words of Jesus and brings a melody full of expression accompanied by bell-like piano. As it is written in Hebrews 1：12, “But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” 6th Movement：Danse de la fureur, pour les sept trompettes All the four instruments play in unison symbolizing the verse in Revelation, with the “first six trumpets of the Apocalypse followed by various disasters, the trumpet of the seventh angel announcing consummation of the mystery of God.” Here the composer expresses the vision of glory and the promise that the time will come to an end. 7th Movement：Fouillis d’arcs-en-ciel, pour I’Ange qui annonce la fin du Temps The melody from the second movement is reprised here, with the composer commenting in his preface that “[t] he angel appears in full force, especially the rainbow that covers him (the rainbow, symbol of peace, wisdom, and all luminescent and sonorous vibration). -In my dreams, I hear and see ordered chords and melodies, known colors and shapes； then, after this transitiona1 stage, I pass through the unreal and suffer, with ecstasy, a tournament, a roundabout compenetration of superhuman sounds and colors. These swords of fire, this blue-orange lava, these sudden stars：there is the tangle, there are the rainbows！” 8th Movement：Louange à I’Immortalité de Jésus The violin corresponds with the cello from the 5th movement； this movement symbolizes the second image of Jesus as a human. It is an expression of holy words of life by the composer, moving upward to the higher pitch and signifying the ascension to God in the heaven.
