作品简介/ Introduction
关于《临安七部》
《临安七部》是以中国古代著名诗人白居易、苏轼、欧阳修、陆游、王昌龄、杨万里、林则徐等吟诵杭州以及西湖的诗篇为词，为女高音、男高音、男中音与交响乐队而作的大型声乐交响乐作品。该作品以现代音乐的创作手法，使声乐与乐队交相辉映，色彩斑斓、意深情切，让中国古代灿烂的诗歌仿佛长上音乐的翅膀。这部作品的旋律素材全部来源于浙江杭嘉湖平原的民歌与民间音乐，使其不仅有高远的文学意境，而且更具备深厚的吴越文化底蕴。这部作品将多首中国古代著名诗歌第一次谱成曲，创造了当代中国音乐史的新记录。
一．忆江南 白居易（772-846）
江南好，
风景旧曾谙。
日出江花红胜火，
春来江水绿如蓝。
能不忆江南？
江南忆，
最忆是杭州。
山寺月中寻桂子，
郡亭枕上看潮头。
何日更重游？
江南忆，
其次忆吴宫。
吴酒一杯春竹叶，
吴娃双舞醉芙蓉。
早晚复相逢！
二．饮湖上初晴后雨 苏轼（1037-1101）
水光潋滟晴方好，
山色空濛雨亦奇。
欲把西湖比西子，
淡妆浓抹总相宜。
夜泛西湖
菰蒲无边水茫茫，
荷花夜开风露香。
渐见灯明出远寺，
更待月黑看湖光。
三．采桑子 欧阳修（1007-1073）
轻舟短棹西湖好，
绿水逶迤，
芳草长堤，
隐隐笙歌处处随。
无风水面琉璃滑，
不觉船移，
微动涟漪，
惊起沙禽掠岸飞。
何人解赏西湖好，
佳景无时，
飞盖相追，
贪向花间醉玉卮。
谁知闲凭阑干处，
芳草斜晖，
水远烟微，
一点沧洲白鹭飞。
四．临安春雨初霁 陆游（1125-1210）
世味年来薄似纱，
谁令骑马客京华。
小楼一夜听春雨，
深巷明朝卖杏花。
矮纸斜行闲作草，
晴窗细乳戏分茶。
素衣莫起风尘叹，
犹及清明可到家。
浣纱女 王昌龄（698-756）
钱塘江畔是谁家,
江上女儿全胜花。
吴王在时不得出，
今日公然来浣纱。
五．与颜钱塘登樟亭望潮作 孟浩然（689-740）
百里闻雷震，
鸣弦暂辍弹。
府中连骑出，
江上待潮观。
照日秋云迥，
浮天渤澥宽。
惊涛来似雪，
一坐凛生寒。
六．晓出净慈寺送林子方 杨万里（1127-1206）
毕竟西湖六月中，
风光不与四时同。
接天莲叶无穷碧，
映日荷花别样红。
七．六和塔 林则徐（1785-1850）
浮屠矗立俯江流，
暮色苍茫四望收。
落日背人沉野树，
晚潮催月上沙洲。
千家灯火城南寺，
数点帆归海外舟。
莫讶山僧苦留客，
有情江水也回头。

1. Cherish Memory of Jiangnan Lyrics by Bai Juyi(772-846)
So nice Jiangnan,
Its views still in my eyes.
At sunrise riverside flowers are redder than fire,
In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire,
Which I can’t but admire?
Recalling of Jiangnan,
Hangzhou gives me a big thrill.
Seeking cassia seeds at moonlit temple in the hill,
Leaning on arbor while watching billows at will,
How soon could I revisit this wonderland?
Recalling of Jiangnan,
For Wu Palace is the next I pine.
Sipping a cup of spring-bamboo-leave-wine,
So intoxicating to see lotus-nymphs dance so fine.
I could see the fairyland again soon!
2. Drinking on Lake after Rain Lyricsby Su Shi(1037-1101)
The Sun plays on the floodings, the scene is riant,
The drizzles misting the mountains is also a sight.
Comparing West Lake to“West Beauty”,
Both are charming in light dress as well in bright.
Yachting on West Lake in the Evening
The quiet water rippled in the breeze, the lake seems boundless,
The lotus blooming at night spreads the fragrance in the wind.
Seeing the dim light from the distance temple,
I am enjoying the night piece at the darkness night.
3. Picking Mulberries Lyrics by Ouyang Xiu(1007-1073)
Viewed from a light boat with short oars, West Lake is fair.
Green water winds along,
The banks overgrown with sweet grass;here and there
Faintly we hear a flute song.
The water surface is smooth like glass when no wind blows,
I feel the boat moves no more,
Leaving ripples behind, it goes,
The startled waterbirds skim the flat sandy shore.
Whoever understands the loveliness of West Lake,
The ever-present remains any time,
Drive to chase each other; between flowers and trees,
Greedily we drink with wine.
I stand freely along the lake seeing the scenario in the vapor,
Green grass and the sunset look so fair,
Waving softly, egret comes,
As if only a small dot among the shore.
4. Lin’an Spring Just Cleared Lyricsby Lu You(1125-1210)
For years I have brushed aside worldly affairs ,
Why should I ride off to stay in the capital ?
All night in my attic I hear the spring fall ,
Apricot blossoms will be sold in the lanes tomorrow.
I dash off some slanting lines on short strip of paper ,
And the sunny window prepare for fine tea.
Never mind if my white clothes are soiled by dust ,
Early in the fourth month I shall be home again.
Girls washing silk LyricsbyWangChangling(698-756)
Along the Qiangtang River, whose houses are there?
Their girls are much charming like flowers.
The ancient beauty Xishi hide for many years while becoming a tyrant’s dear,
How dare the pretty girls washing silks openly!
5. Stepping on Zhang Pavilion and Watching the Tide Lyrics by Meng Haoran(689-740)
The roar of thunder was heard a hundred miles away,
The play of musical instruments had to be ceased right away.
Out of the mansion in single file,
To watch the tide on the brink of river.
Sunshine is veiled by the fall clouds,
The river is like a sea, wide and vast.
Rolling waves pressing on like snow-slide,
Sitting there, with the whole body shivering with coldness.
6. Leave the Jingci Temple in the Morning to see Lin Zifang off
Lyrics by Yang Wanli (1127-1206)
The West Lake is set, after all, in the month of June;
From the other seasons, the views are of a different kind.
Lotus leaves, green and exuberant, merge with the blue;
Their flowers, sun-tinged red, look exceptionally fine.
7. Pagoda of Six Harmonies Lyrics by Lin Zexu(1785-1850)
Apagoda stands overlooking the flowing river,
In the deepening twilight one’s gaze cannot go far.
Sunset makes the wild trees look taller,
Return of woodmen prompted the moon to climb over the sandbar.
Thousands of lights illuminate the temple south of town,
Dots of boats are sailing home from high seas afar.
The monk of Moya persuaded the guest to stay on,
His bitter affection even touched river go turn its head.
Note: The West Lake described in Ouyang Xiu's Picking Mulberries is located in Yingzhou of Anhui Province, not the one in Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou Plain of Zhejiang Province. Adopting of this Song Lyrics in the music piece is just a use of the outstanding poetry in Song Dynasty to paint the beautiful natural scenes.
