為紀念臺灣現代音樂的啟蒙導師與民歌採集運動的發起人：作曲家許常惠（1929-2001）逝世二十五週年，本場音樂會將演出許常惠生前最具代表性的大型作品，包括：結合佛教梵唄與中國古典文學的合唱曲《葬花吟》；以唐代大曲結構融合臺灣傳統北管曲牌與變奏曲式的鋼琴協奏曲《百家春》；將清代鼓吹樂【錦繡乾坤】以現代管絃樂再現的「慶典序曲」；以臺灣客家民謠為主題的舞劇配樂《桃花開》；以及因反戰寓意而使創作藍圖塵封三十年，1995年始面世的清唱劇《兵車行》。音樂會並以作曲家構思、創作經年的歌劇《白蛇傳》序幕之鑼鼓樂開場，為聽眾開啟一場結合了臺灣本土與東亞古典傳統，表現題材與演出形式多樣，深具文化內涵與歷史深度的音樂饗宴。 （連憲升撰） To commemorate the 25 th anniversary of the passing of composer HSU Tsang-houei (1929–2001)—the pioneer of modern music in Taiwan and initiator of the Folk Music Collection Movement—this concert features his most representative large-scale masterpieces. The program includes: the choral work Song of the Burial of Flowers , which blends Buddhist chant with classical Chinese literature; the piano concerto Spring for All , which integrates the structural elements of Tang Dynasty Daq ǔ with traditional Taiwanese Beiguan tunes and variation forms; the Chinese Festival Overture, reimagining the Qing Dynasty wind and percussion music The Splendid Universe through a modern orchestral lens; the dance drama music Peach Blossoms , based on Taiwanese Hakka folk songs; and the cantata Cortège Guerrier —an anti-war epic whose blueprint remained sealed for thirty years before its premiere in 1995. The concert begins with the prologue percussion music from the opera The Tale of the White Snake , a work the composer had been conceiving and creating for many years. It opens for the audience a musical feast that combines local Taiwanese culture with East Asian classical traditions, showcasing diverse themes and performance styles, and imbued with profound cultural resonance and historical depth.
