托福听力黄金段子：艺术类音乐
It may seem strange that we're discussing music from a Broadway production in this class, "The Lion King" especially, since it's based on a popular Hollywood movie. I mean music preformed for Broadway theater in the heart of New York city surely would seem to be in the western tradition of popular music and not have much in common with the music we have been studying in this course, such as gamelan music of Indonesia, or Zulu chants of South Africa, music that developed outside the western tradition of Europe and America. But in fact, musicians have a long-standing tradition of borrowing front one another's cultures. And this production's director intentionally included both western and non-western music. That way, some of the rhythms, instrument, and harmonies typical of non-western music contrast with and complement popular music more familiar to audiences in North America and Europe, music like rock, jazz or Broadway style show tunes. So I want to spend the rest of this class and most of the next one on the music from the show "The Lion King" as a way of summarizing some of the technical distinctions between typical western music and the non-western music that we've been studying. Now the African influence on the music is clear. The story takes place in Africa. So the director got a South African composer to write songs with a distinctly African sound. And the songs even include words from African languages. But we'll get back to the African influence later. First let's turn to the music that was written for the shadow puppet scenes in "The Lion King", music based on the Indonesian music used in the shadow puppet theater of that region.
很奇怪，我们在这节课上讨论百老汇的音乐，尤其是《狮子王》，因为它是根据一部受欢迎的好莱坞电影改编的。我是说音乐的百老汇戏剧中心的纽约市肯定似乎是西方传统的流行音乐,没有太多的共同之处我们一直在学习这门课程,如印度尼西亚、佳美兰音乐或南非祖鲁圣歌,音乐发达西方以外的欧洲和美国的传统。但事实上，音乐家有着悠久的传统，借用彼此的文化。这部电影的导演故意将西方音乐和非西方音乐都包括在内。这种方式，一些节奏，乐器，和声，典型的非西方音乐与北美和欧洲的观众比较熟悉的流行音乐，如摇滚，爵士乐或百老汇风格的曲调。所以我想把这堂课的剩余部分和下一节课的大部分时间都花在《狮子王》的音乐上，以此来总结西方音乐和我们一直在学习的非西方音乐之间的一些技术区别。现在，非洲对音乐的影响是显而易见的。故事发生在非洲。因此，导演让一位南非作曲家用清晰的非洲声音创作歌曲。这些歌曲甚至还包括非洲语言的歌词。但稍后我们会回到非洲的影响。首先，我们来看看为皮影戏《狮子王》而写的音乐，它是根据印尼音乐在那个地区的皮影戏中使用的。
