組曲「ボヘミアの操り人形」：阿部勇一 [吹奏楽小編成-レンタル譜]

組曲「ボヘミアの操り人形」

第１曲「騎士の登場」
中世の騎士たちが登場します。強くてこわい存在のはずが、おや？どこかおぼつかない動き。剣の扱いも不慣れな若者たちであることがわかり、町の人々に茶化されているコミカルな様子です。本人たちは優雅に歩いているつもりがちっとも様にならず、クスっと笑いたくなるようななんともほのぼのした雰囲気が流れます。

第２曲「眠れる森の美女」
ヨーロッパに伝わる古いお話の一つでグリム童話集にも収められています。「いばら姫」が魔法によって眠らされ、王子様の接吻によって100年の眠りから目覚めるお話しなのですが、森・美女・魔法・王子様とおとぎ話に欠かせない要素を、ゆったりとした旋律で描いてみました。チェコ南部の町チェスキークルムロフは13世紀当時の姿が残る歴史地区です。おとぎ話の舞台のような街並みは「世界で最も美しい町」、「眠れる森の美女」と称えられます。深い森に囲まれたこの美しい街の風景も想像しながらメロディーを作りました。

第３曲「異国の踊り」
交易でにぎわう街にはたくさんの民族が行き来していたことでしょう。きっと東西様々な民族の、熱い踊りを広場などで観る機会があったのではないかと想像しました。カスタネットを使用したあたり、少しジプシーっぽい雰囲気も加えています。（阿部勇一）

SUITE -BOHEMIAN PUPPET-：Composer: Yuichi ABE

Since I was a boy, I have been a fan of Dvo k and Smetana and have listened to their recordings every day. I used to let my imagination run wild through music and photos as I wondered about the Bohemian culture in the country that gave birth to these great composers. This piece was inspired by my memories as a boy and seeks to portray the traditional Bohemian culture of marionettes. The Czech Republic has long been a center of puppet theater, and even today, it is home to many marionette theaters, specialty stores, professional puppet troupes, and museums. Throughout the Czech Republic’s complex history, including when it was under the rule of other countries, puppet theater seems to have gone beyond mere entertainment and has been passed down as a traditional art form that embodies national identity. Since some puppet shows are adapted from operas and ballets, I have composed this suite by imagining three possible scenes.

I. The appearance of the knight

Medieval knights appear. They are supposed to be strong and scary, but for some reason, their movements are somewhat hesitant. It turns out that these are young men who are not used to holding swords, and the townspeople make fun of them in a comical manner. The young men are anything but graceful in their movements, evoking an atmosphere so heartwarming that it makes you want to chuckle.

II. Sleeping Beauty

This is one of the oldest stories in Europe and is included in Grimm’s fairy tales. Put to sleep by magic, Sleeping Beauty is awakened from her 100year slumber by the kiss of a prince. The relaxing melody of this piece portrays the forest, the beauty, magic, the prince, and other essential elements of the fairy tale. esk Krumlov, a town in southern Czech Republic, is a historical district that still retains its 13thcentury appearance. The town, which resembles the setting of a fairy tale, has been called the most beautiful town in the world and the Sleeping Beauty of the woods. I have composed the melody of this piece while imagining the scenery of this beautiful town surrounded by deep forests.

III. Exotic dance

Many groups of ethnic people must have come and gone in this bustling trading town. I imagine that there must have been many opportunities to watch the passionate dances of various groups of ethnic people from the East and West at public squares and other places. The use of castanets adds a gypsylike touch to the atmosphere.
