This album includes 5 classic Peking Opera arias recorded before 1940, specially selected for Tomb Sweeping Day. Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival or Pure Brightness Festival, falls between early and mid-spring, characterized by clear weather and the flourishing of all living things. Originating from ancient ancestor worship and spring rituals, Qingming Festival embodies both natural and cultural significance, serving as both a seasonal marker and a traditional holiday. It is a time for people to honor their ancestors and enjoy the spring scenery. In Chinese opera, Qingming Festival holds particular importance. The World Music Seeds proudly presents the "Festival Melodies" series with the "Classic Peking Opera Songs for Tomb Sweeping Day," featuring a collection of classic Peking Opera arias associated with Qingming Festival customs. This album includes 5 classic Peking Opera arias from traditional productions, including "Burning Mianshan Mountain," "Beating the Nephew to Sweep the Tombs," "Young Widow Got Her Husband Back," and "White Snake." 曲目简介 01 Xipi-Burning Mianshan Mountian:Consistent 西皮-焚绵山(春草青青隐翠溪) 艺术家:马连良 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 “清明节”标志了一年中春耕的开始。这种习俗至今已有2500多年的历史。“清明扫墓”的习俗,源于另一个民俗节日“寒食节”,而“寒食节”的由来,和介子推有关。京剧《焚绵山》讲述的是晋国公子重耳流亡在外19年,介子推忠心护驾,文公复国后,介子推与母归隐绵山。文公为了让介子推出山,下令焚山,介子推与母被焚而亡。文公追悔,为介子推修祠立庙并下令于子推忌日禁火,以寒食寄托哀思。清明节搬演“介子推的故事”,也渐渐成为了人们追慕传统美德的一个重要方式。 02 Xipi-Beating the Nephew to Sweep the Tombs:Bemoan 西皮-状元谱(张公道三十五六子有靠) 艺术家:余叔岩 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 《状元谱》又名《打侄上坟》,讲述了富绅陈伯愚素日行善,奈何老而无子,原指望教养胞侄陈大官成人,不想大官不习正道,与其分家另过,终沦为乞丐。正当陈伯愚开仓放赈时,大官前来领赈。伯愚见此玷辱门楣之子,将其痛打。正值清明佳节,伯愚夫妻到祖茔祭奠,巧遇大官上坟,伯愚见其尚存天良,好言抚慰,认为己子。大官从此痛改前非,发愤攻书,得中状元。此唱段“张公道三十五六子有靠”表现出了陈伯愚老来无子的凄凉悲苍,以及他悲叹自己无后和他对陈门祖先的怀念之情。 03 Liuzhi Tune-Young Widow Got Her Husband Back:Crying Over the Tomb 柳枝腔-小上坟(萧素贞在房中我就欠身起) 艺术家:金碧莲 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 《小上坟》是京剧传统剧目,又名《飞飞飞》《丑荣归》。这出戏全剧唱“柳枝腔”,歌舞并重。柳枝腔又作柳子腔,大约在明末清初就在北京地区作为地方戏的代表广为流传。该剧目讲述了刘禄景进京赶考多年未归,被误认为已死,其妻萧素贞被公婆打骂、被娘舅逼改嫁,心中凄苦。适值清明节,萧氏在坟前哭诉,恰逢已成大官奉旨回乡祭祖的刘禄景,但二人起初不敢相认,引发了坟前一告公婆、二告娘舅、三告丈夫的故事,最终二人相认,苦情戏变大团圆。花旦扮的萧素贞和小丑扮的刘禄景,服饰一白一红,载歌载舞,俏皮可爱,颇有喜感。 04 Xipi-White Snake:Yearning for Love 西皮-白娘子(春光明媚百草生) 05 Nanbangzi-White Snake:Lake Cruise 南梆子-白娘子(湖光山色天然景) 艺术家:荀慧生 作词:佚名 作曲:佚名 《白蛇传》,京剧传统剧目,为京剧旦角戏,四大名旦都曾演出该剧,除荀慧生以《白娘子》命名演全剧外,其他三位都不演全剧。戏曲舞台上的中国四大民间爱情传说之《白蛇传》,便有许官人清明节上坟插柳、西湖边巧遇白娘子的情节。《白蛇传》描述的是一个修炼成人形的蛇精与人的曲折爱情故事。故事包括篷船借伞,白娘子盗灵芝仙草,水漫金山,断桥,雷峰塔,许仙之子仕林祭塔等情节。表达了人民对男女自由恋爱的赞美向往和对封建势力无理束缚的憎恨。许仙清明扫墓归来,西湖断桥巧遇白娘子,两人喜结连理,美好的爱情故事总是让人向往。京剧广集博采,吸收了许多地方剧种和民间歌舞的曲调,唱段“湖光山色天然景”使用了“南梆子”唱腔,南梆子不属于皮黄声腔系统,属梆子声腔系统,借鉴到京剧中后广泛应用。南梆子唱腔委婉优美,适于表现细腻柔美的情致。
