《許博允之樂》記錄了至2005年間，創作四十餘年創作的心路歷程。洞悉人性心靈與寰宇奧義的音樂，在 Spotify、KKBOX、Apple Music、Amazon Music、friDay Music 等串流平台都聽得到這些超越音樂的生命哲思！
專輯簡介 Introduction
1962年許博允開始了創作生涯，《怨歌行》與《夜坐吟》為當年初試啼聲的作品。同年與台灣作曲家共組「江浪樂集」後，參與發起了「中國現代音樂協會」、「亞洲作曲家聯盟」與「亞洲文化推展聯盟」。
許博允46年作曲生涯中創作的作品，記錄了他獨特、深刻而哲學性的音樂語言。1972年創作的《中國戲曲的冥想》，開啟了東方弦樂新境界。1975年創作了《琵琶隨筆》更是中國史上首次以現代作曲手法融合東方琵琶彈撥技法特質，突破性開創了中國樂器新意境，也帶動全世界華人創作中國樂器樂曲的新思維。
1977年《境》的作品涵蓋了100餘件打擊樂器及人聲的作品，融合了美聲合唱、民族唱腔（尤其是加入原住民、蒙古呼麥、長調…）及現代滑唱的唱腔於一體。1988年為中國民族樂器帶來的交響樂曲《天元》，一新陳腔舊模的架構，並創出樂團新聲響的領域。1998年以「素樂」的手法，寫作《潛》改變弦樂四重奏的氛圍。
這些「音樂世界的體驗」都是這張《許博允之樂》CD所帶給大家的回味！
Taiwanese composer Hsu Po-Yun started his musical career when he premiered his debut compositions Song of Regret and Ye Zuo Yin in 1962. Co-Founder of the composers’ association “The Rip Tide”, Hsu Po-Yun later took part in the establishment of numerous artists’ societies including International Society for Contemporary Music in ROC (ISCM-Taiwan), Asian Composers League (ACL) and the Federation for Asian Cultural Promotion (FACP).
Hsu’s compositions over the past 46 years form a rich literature of his unique, profound and philosophical musical language. While A Meditation on Chinese Theater (1972) opened up a new prospect for string instrumentalists, The Pipa (1975) marked the first work in history to integrate contemporary composition skills with Eastern pipa techniques, which not only revolutionarily vitalized the Chinese musical milieu but also pioneered innovative concepts of Chinese compositions among Chinese composers around the globe.
Composed in 1977, Mood, Field, Mind, Environment (1977) furthermore exploited over a hundred percussion instruments in addition to human voice, bel canto, ethnic singing techniques (namely aboriginal tunes, khoomei laryngeal and Mongolian Urtiin Duu) and modern glissandi. The orchestral work Tian Yuan (1988) for Chinese orchestra not only renewed conventional structure, but initiated novel sonic effects. Last but not least, Submersion (1998) developed upon the theory of minimal music and created unprecedented ambience for the string quartet.
It is these recollections from the composer’s global musical experiences that Music of Hsu Po-Yun cherishes and shares.

曲目解說 Interpretation
《琵琶隨筆》The Pipa
1975
演奏 | 王正平（琵琶）
Performer | Wong Ching-Ping, pipa
許博允最膾炙人口的作品。目前在世界有數百次的發表演出。本曲是為琵琶獨奏所作的樂曲，在表面上樂器及樂曲的形式，都攝取了傳統的衣缽，內底裡卻有極大的改變，追求的是每個音的雕琢，不論是色彩的變化、力度、密度的對比與空間的運用都經過嚴密的處理，線、面、體的構成，謹慎的溶入雅樂「序」、「破」、「急」的範式之中，呈現整首樂曲連貫性的關係。作曲家曾說「這首曲子，在表面上的樂器及樂曲形式，都來自傳統。但是曲子內裡卻有極大的創新，也嘗試了新的演奏技巧。」
The Pipa is Hsu Po-Yun's best known piece, having been performed for hundreds of times throughout the world. This piece was composed particularly for the musical instrument, pipa. It takes a traditional form, with an underlying revolutionary essence. Each note of this piece pursues perfection, which is manifested in the change of tone, strength, density contrast and use of space. The formation of this piece, from detail to full body, strictly follows the rules of traditional Ya music, which gives the music a continuous tone. The composer once stated that this piece “appears to be traditional in regards to the choice of musical instrument and its form; however, an innovative attempt prevails, with new performing techniques adopted.”
《心》（小提琴VS鋼琴）Heart (Violin vs. Piano)
2005
演奏 | 小提琴：宗緒嫻／鋼琴：葉綠娜
Performers | Nancy Tsung, violin; Lina Yeh, piano
從觀察「人」的角度出發，每個人都蘊含著雙重性格，在許多層面都充滿著兩極的對比關係，如陰與陽、剛與柔、而這首《心》讓兩者碰撞，產生互動關係與偶發關係，整體旋律充滿著清純的美，是全新風格的嶄新創作。
As all human beings have innate multi-faceted personalities which in many aspects may seem self-contradictory like the yin and yang, stiff and tender...etc. This piece, Heart , allows the two to collide, interact and coincide. The melody is simple and pure, and produces a style that is unique.
《天元》Tian Yuan
1988
演奏 | 台北市立國樂團／指揮：陳秋盛
Performers | Taipei Chinese Orchestra; Chen Chiu-Sheng, conductor
天元，是中國古算家求解高次方程問題中的未知數。它代表的是宇宙中心，也代表者原始與本能的起點。本曲從寂靜中慢慢延伸，樂音充滿整個空間，從一而起，延伸出多層次的變化，漫延盤旋終致充塞宇宙。
“Tian Yuan”, symbol for variables in high exponential equations in Chinese algebra, represents the center of the cosmic and the source of all beings. The piece gradually stretches from the silence at the beginning to the state when space is fulfilled with sound. From a single element, it expands to a rich, multi-layered variety of music all the way to the end.
《潛》 Submersion
1998
演奏 | 亞太弦樂四重奏（小提琴：黃維明、徐錫隆／中提琴：陳瑞賢／大提琴：陳建安）
Performers | Asia Pacific String Quartet (Huang Wei-Ming and Hsu Si-Ming violins; Chen Rey-Hsien, viola; Chen Jian-An, cello)
透過完全四度與完全五度搭配呈現，充滿空間感、對比性與跳躍性，在演練過程，提琴家自由的在弦上游移，隨著演奏次數的增加，慢慢的將個性姿態都融入曲子，也讓《潛》所蘊含的深意慢慢浮現，呈現出一種當下時間流逝的點滴，漂浮與放空的感覺，同時體會到的是屬於人生的真誠。
Presented by a combination of perfect fourths and fifths, the piece is fulfilled with space, contrast, and bouncing movements. During the performance, the players travel on the strings freely. As the players proceed with the piece, they begin to melt their very own personalities into music, unveiling the essence of Submersion . With passing of time, the feeling of floating and the moment of emptying, one will meanwhile sense the sincerity of life.
《中國戲曲冥想》 A Meditation on Chinese Theater
1973
演奏 | 亞太弦樂四重奏、鋼琴家鄭怡君
Performers | Asia Pacific String Quartet; Yi-Chun Cheng, piano
這首樂曲譜給五重奏，雖亦如同一般的兩支小提琴、中提琴、大提琴及鋼琴的組合，然基本上的功能是各自獨立的。本曲所強調的中國戲曲的共同通性除了如同西洋戲劇中所講「角色扮演」的形色異同外，特別是滑音的變化及有秩序的即興節奏是一兩套中國戲曲的精髓，演化這兩者的繁衍而獲致特殊的合聲效果是本曲的冥想。其中，交織出一面寬廣的音域，前所未有的結合方式給予聆聽者全新的聆聽體驗。
This piece is composed for piano quintets, and while it preserves the customary combination of two violins, a viola, a cello and a piano, all instruments function independently. The piece not only shares the spirit of role-playing with Chinese theater as Western dramas does, but also captures the essence of Chinese theater by diverse portamenti and disciplined improvisation. It is the distinct spontaneity generated by these musical expressions that the piece meditates upon. As the music entwine into a wide spectrum of tone, the unprecedented arrangement will certainly create a new listening experience to the audience.
《境》 Mood, Field, Mind, Environment
1977
演奏 | 朱宗慶打擊樂團；指揮：吳珮菁
演唱 | 蒙古聲樂家：寶音朝克圖、敖登格日勒／台灣詠歌者：許福福
合唱 | 台北市立國樂團附設合唱團
Performers | The Ju Percussion Group; Pei-Jing Wu, conductor; Hsu Fu-Fu, vocalist; Baoyinchaoketu and Aodenggerile, khoomei vocalists; Taipei Chinese Orchestra Choir
從環境、心境、情境、意境出發，融合一體成為寬廣的境界（field）。一百多件的打擊樂器具有深刻的感染力和濃厚的民族色彩，呈現出「實」的一面；遠從蒙古而來的呼麥演唱家（khoomei，圖瓦或蒙古「喉音」，聞名全球的特殊唱腔）二名，與三十名合唱團員共同詮釋《境》這首具有豐富想像空間與整體意象的作品，除朱宗慶打擊樂團帶來一百多件的打擊樂器外，三十名合唱團員也將加入打擊演奏行列，所有人手持的樂器乃是依循中國「八音」，區分音源為金、石、絲、竹、匏、土、革、木等八種音質外加人聲，是本曲寫作的基本體。每一次呈現時，獨唱者均因時、空更動，並依不同文化聲源而有所變化，演唱者的聲線、背景以及其根底之民族特色等皆使每次的演出成為再新的創作，是為環境音樂之一種呈現手法。
From the environment, the mood, the circumstance and the spirit condition form the massive field. Together with over a hundred impressive and folkloric percussion instruments that form the aspect of reality, the two Mongolian khoomei (well-known laryngeal voice in Mongolia) vocalists and thirty choir vocalists conspire to perform the piece with rich imagination and imaginative totality. During the performance, not only the percussionists from the Ju Percussion Group but also the choir singers take part as percussionists, whose instruments cover all the eight instrument categories – the Eight Sounds (bayin) in traditional Chinese music. The eight categories – gold, stone, silk, bamboo, pao, earth, ge, and wood – along with human voice lay the foundation of the piece. The solo vocalist varies according to the different time, space, cultures in each performance, as the differences in voice, background and ethnic characteristics all make each performance a brand-new creation. This is one of the techniques in environment music.
