本作品是一首以童話為靈感的管弦樂交響詩,描繪了一位象徵春神的小女孩與她忠誠的狗,在春天來臨之際踏上冒險旅程,喚醒被冬日迷霧籠罩的森林巨獸,帶領它們走出山谷,讓整片大地重現生機。樂曲以豐富的主題旋律串聯整個故事,融合壯麗、神秘、緊張、釋然與溫暖的音樂語彙,帶領聽眾沉浸於這場奇幻冒險之中。
引子以柔和的弦樂與輕盈的木管樂器開場,描繪清晨的薄霧彌漫於山谷,世界仍沉睡於冬日的夢境中。鏡頭拉遠,定音鼓及法國號帶出峽谷的壯闊,小女孩與狗的互動以可愛的弦樂及木管點綴,為之後進入神秘的峽谷做鋪陳。
雙簧管懸疑的旋律帶出神秘峽谷的陰森,木管樂器繼續做鋪陳,帶領小女孩和狗來到一座神秘的石碑前。小女孩以手上的木杖往石碑用力一敲,大地震動,森林巨獸降臨,低音鼓扎實的節奏帶領音樂進入最磅礡的高潮。巨獸受小女孩的引領邁出腳步,然而,中途突如其來的意外打亂了節奏,管弦樂隊進入不協和的緊張段落,利用弦樂快速的上下行、銅管的急促高音與打擊樂的強烈節奏,營造懸疑與衝突感,展現冒險中的挑戰。
危機終於解除,小女孩鬆了一口氣,旋律又回到了女孩與狗互動的輕盈愉快。之後主旋律以更宏偉的姿態回歸,象徵小女孩成功帶領巨獸走出迷霧,春天終於降臨。
結尾部分轉向溫暖與光明,弦樂與木管編織出和煦的春日氣息,迷霧散去,山谷重現綠意,音樂隨著柔和而悠揚的旋律緩緩落幕。整首作品在壯闊與細膩之間交錯,透過豐富的動機發展與情緒鋪陳,完整呈現這場充滿幻想色彩的大冒險。
This piece is an orchestral symphonic poem inspired by fairy tales, depicting a young girl who embodies the spirit of spring and her loyal dog embarking on an adventure. As spring arrives, they set out to awaken the slumbering forest beasts, which have been enveloped in winter’s mist, guiding them out of the valley so that the land may once again be bathed in the light of spring. The composition weaves a rich tapestry of thematic melodies, blending grandeur, mystery, tension, resolution, and warmth, immersing the audience in a fantastical journey.
The introduction begins with gentle strings and airy woodwinds, painting a scene of a misty valley at dawn, where the world remains in the dreamlike slumber of winter. As the perspective widens, timpani and French horns highlight the vastness of the canyon, while the playful interactions between the girl and her dog are depicted through charming string and woodwind motifs, setting the stage for their descent into the mysterious valley.
The suspenseful melody of the oboe introduces the eerie atmosphere of the valley, with woodwinds continuing to build upon this sense of mystery. As the girl and her dog arrive before an ancient stone monument, the tension heightens. With a firm strike of her wooden staff against the stone, the earth trembles—the legendary forest beasts awaken. The deep, steady pulse of the bass drum propels the music into its most majestic climax. Under the girl’s guidance, the beasts begin to move forward, yet an unexpected obstacle disrupts their rhythm. The orchestration plunges into a chaotic and dissonant passage, with rapidly ascending and descending strings, piercing brass accents, and intense percussion rhythms, evoking a sense of urgency and conflict as they navigate the challenges of their adventure.
As the crisis finally subsides, the girl exhales in relief, and the music returns to the lighthearted and playful theme of her interactions with her dog. The main theme then resurges in a grander, more triumphant form, symbolizing the girl’s success in leading the beasts out of the mist—spring has finally arrived.
The conclusion shifts toward warmth and radiance, as strings and woodwinds weave together a gentle springtime atmosphere. The mist dissipates, revealing a valley lush with greenery. The music gradually softens into a delicate and serene ending. This piece balances grandeur with intricate details, utilizing rich thematic development and emotional storytelling to fully portray t..
