笛子艺术家简广易先生,生前曾跟我讲过一件事:在他创作笛子独奏曲《牧民新歌》之后,有一次审查节目。有个领导说话了:啊,那个笛子曲,牧民啥歌的,那个长调部分为啥不用三度颤音呢?蒙族长调都用三度颤音的呀。那个慢板还可以,高潮部分怎么又跑调了呢?不是蒙族常见的小调式了?我看这首曲是不成功的,不是蒙族的笛子曲么!要好好修改。老天!幸亏没有按这个领导的意图改动,否则就变成牧民旧歌了。世上牧民旧歌千千万,牧民新歌只有这一首。 One of the things the flute artist Jane Chien Yi told me about a lifetime ago was his censorship program after he wrote the flute solo song “The New Song of Herdsmen.” There is a leader to speak: ah, that flute song, herdsman song, that long-term part why not three vibrato? Mongolian long tone are used three times vibrato ah. That Adagio can also, climax part of how to run it? Is not a Mongolian minor minor style? I think this song is unsuccessful, not the Monarch’s flute it! To be amended. Thank God did not change according to the intention of this leader, otherwise it becomes a pastoral old song. There are hundreds of millions of old herds in the world and only the song of herdsman’s song.
