下面介紹引述張儀的賞析: 《I Dreamed a Dream》(我曾有夢)是根據(jù)法國作家雨果的小說《悲慘世界》(Les Misérables)改編同名歌劇的主題曲。其中,這首歌的曲子由法國作曲家Claude-Michel Sch?nberg創(chuàng)作,英文歌詞由出生于南非的記者兼詞作者Herbert Kretzmer完成。 在歌劇中,這首歌由女主角芳汀演唱,講述了其悲劇的前半生。年輕美貌的芳汀愛上了貴族青年,并幻想著自己將擁有美好的愛情與未來。誰知所托非人,被貴族青年殘酷拋棄。在她有私生女的事情被告發(fā)后,不幸被趕出工廠,流落街頭,成為妓女。就在這個(gè)時(shí)候,芳汀唱起了歌曲《I Dreamed a Dream》。 了解了這一故事背景,我們就能清晰地把握歌曲的脈絡(luò)。歌曲中芳汀帶著甜蜜回憶了青春時(shí)的榮華與驕縱,而在被男友拋棄后她的生活瞬間跌至地獄。雖然她此時(shí)對未來仍抱有幻想,但是微弱的希望之光卻很快被絕望吞噬。歌曲既是對芳汀悲劇生活的哀悼,也是對法國大革命時(shí)期黑暗、殘酷社會(huì)現(xiàn)實(shí)的控訴。 作為歌劇主題曲《我曾有夢》被多位跨界明星大腕演繹過,小編分享的版本來自伊蓮·佩姬(Elaine Paige),小編曾介紹過她演唱的音樂劇《貓》主題曲: 今天小編找到一個(gè)視頻版本+兩個(gè)音頻版本(其中一個(gè)海外樂友也可以收聽):
