1985~1995 創作黃金時期 Golden Period of Composition |
|
| 這段時期，蕭泰然先後完成了《福爾摩沙交響曲》，以及《D大調小提琴協奏曲》、《C
大調大提琴協奏曲》與《C小調鋼琴協奏曲》三首作品，曲中透露了優美的台灣印象與
富生命力的台灣精神，不僅撫慰了海外華人離鄉背井的寂寞心靈，更隨著作品躍登國際
舞台，讓世界認識了來自台灣的聲音。
1992年小提琴家林昭亮與聖地牙哥交響樂團首次演出蕭泰然的小提琴協奏曲，這是台灣
作曲家的作品第一次被美國知名交響樂團演出，演出相當成功。三首協奏曲作品建立了
他在國際樂壇的地位，也建立了他東方浪漫派大師的地位。 During this period, Mr. Hsiao completed his definitive works, including Formosa Symphony, Violin Concerto in D, Cello Concerto in C and Piano Concerto in C Minor. These brilliant pieces portray beautiful imageries of Taiwan and revealed the vibrant vitality of the Taiwanese spirit. Mr. Hsiao’s music not only soothed the lonely souls of overseas Chinese people who have left their homes but also made it to the international stage for the world to recognize the voice from Taiwan. In 1992, Mr. Hsiao’s Violin Concerto in D was performed for the very first time by violinist Lin Cho-Liang and San Diego Symphony Orchestra. The performance was significant because it was the first time in history for the works of a Taiwanese composer to be performed by a reputable American symphony orchestra. The performance was largely successful and the three concertos have helped Mr. Hsiao to consolidate his status in the domain of international music as the maestro of the Asian romantic school. |

而後他更傾力完成震撼人心的《一九四七序曲》。在創作這首曲子的時候，蕭泰然經歷
了生命中最大的危機。曲子才寫了二頁，就因為血管瘤破裂而必須緊急動手術。當時蕭
泰然向上帝祈求說：「上帝啊！拜託ㄟ，我這個《一九四七序曲》我才剛剛寫了二頁而
已， 不要現在要我的命，讓我好好寫到完；如果不能等，一定要現在把我請調回去，不然替我寫。」終於，蕭泰然在日籍醫師橫山的醫治下，挽回了生命，於1994年7月完成《一九四七序曲》。《一九四七序曲》，這部描述台灣四百年歷史的音樂史詩，不僅引領台灣人民走出歷史的傷痛，穿越時空和政治的紛擾，更進一步讓台灣精神發揚在國際音樂殿堂上。Mr. Hsiao followed by focusing all his energies in the composition of his inspirational magnum opus 1947 Overture. During the process of composition, Mr. Hsiao faced the greatest crisis in his life; he was hospitalized for an emergency operation due to a ruptured aortic aneurysm when he had just finished the second page of the score. Mr. Hsiao recalled the prayer he said to God at the time, “My Lord above, I beseech you; I have just finished two pages for my 1947 Overture. Please do not take me to Thy kingdom in heaven yet and let me finish what I have started. If you insist on summoning me to your side at this moment, indulge my final wish and finish the composition for me.” Alas, under the capable care of the Japanese physician Dr. Yokoyama, Mr. Hsiao recovered his health and completed his 1947 Overture in July 1994. 1947 Overture is a musical epic that tells the tale of Taiwanese history spanning four centuries. The masterpiece not only led Taiwanese people to soothe the wounds of history to overcome the turmoil of the time and politics, but also enabled the spirit of Taiwan to shine in the halls of international music. |
