。。。最近我觀看一片“浮光掠影” (DVD Joaquin Rodrigo Concierto de Aranjuez) 羅得利哥 的『阿蘭輝茲協奏曲』由吉他家 Pepe Romero 與 Academy of St. Martin in the Fields 聯合演出,製成專輯,慶祝羅得利哥90歲生日。羅得利哥傳奇的音樂人生,被剪輯片斷地描繪出來,叫我深受感動。 ( * 話說西班牙音樂大師羅得利哥 Rodrigo 在被傳染白喉之後變瞎,失去他的靈魂之窗。他的鋼琴家妻子成為他眼睛,幫他看這大千世界。無論何時何地,她都向他不厭其煩地描述週遭環境的一切,並且為他大聲朗讀報紙。他倆以音樂連心互動,那份默契情深,形影不離,明眼伉儷也少有,遠不及者彼彼皆是。總而言之,她可以說是他的靈魂,簡直形同他的另一個自我。 他倆達到的境界肯定是摯愛的高峰。彼此之間如魚得水,志同道合,幸福滿足洋溢於言表。無情歲月催人老,他倆卻欣欣然於物表之外。 他們一起彈雙重奏,十分可愛,默契依然。感情如此地昇華崇高,令人響往及叫人受到大大鼓舞,真是我們大家的楷模,好一幅白頭偕老的美麗畫像。 他們的人生絕非平順,也曾歷盡滄桑。他們第一個孩子產下是死胎,他的妻子也因此身體虛弱,奄奄一息,瀕臨死亡。面對這麼大的打擊及極度痛苦,Rodrigo 卻譜寫此名曲,描繪出他心靈的極瑞掙扎煎敖,瀕臨絕望的努力祈求。 最後,他的掙扎結束,他將這一切都放在上帝手中而得到平靜與安寧。*)
玆錄第一小節如下: “主所愛的囝仔, 暫時住世間,雖死掠做利益,罪惡久害人,罪惡久害人。” (#424 old hymn book) 主應許,將來在新天新地裡,不再有眼淚。上帝將擦乾我們所有的眼淚。讓我們都期待新天新地,早日來臨吧!
Lyric below:
All my life All the years that I have spent with you Were they a dream made sweeter by your smile? All of those days I think of now Wondering when will I see you again?
Now and then I speak out just as if you were there And all the music of your voice That echoes through my heart and fills my mind Somehow makes the silence easier to bear
But there are times when I think of what life will be like When the children are grown And I'm afraid to be alone
Looking at them I can see everything I treasured in you They have your way of speaking with their eyes They have your laughter now and then I look at them and I see you again
Oh, my love How I loved you, you'll just never know And in my heart I just grow older every day that we're apart With all the memories of long ago And all the beautiful things that I wanted to say And that stayed in my head Somehow never got said
So much to learn There is so much to learn about love And I'll wait until then 'Til the day when I see you again
