《编钟》语(yu)文S版六年级(ji)下(xia)册课文原文
远古(gu)(gu)(gu)时期,我们的祖(zu)先创造了世界(jie)上(shang)最早的钟(zhong)(zhong)。中国古(gu)(gu)(gu)代(dai)的钟(zhong)(zhong)不(bu)是(shi)用来(lai)报(bao)时的,而是(shi)举行仪式的重要乐器。编钟(zhong)(zhong)是(shi)我国古(gu)(gu)(gu)代(dai)的一种打(da)击(ji)乐器,用青铜(tong)铸成。古(gu)(gu)(gu)人(ren)把不(bu)同的钟(zhong)(zhong)按照音调高低(di)的次厅(ting)排(pai)列起来(lai),悬挂在钟(zhong)(zhong)架上(shang),用木(mu)槌(chui)(chuí)敲击(ji),演奏乐曲。它(ta)既可(ke)以用于独(du)奏、合奏,也可(ke)以为唱(chang)歌和(he)舞(wu)蹈(dao)伴奏。
1978年在湖(hu)北随县出(chu)土的(de)曾【zēnɡ】侯(hou)乙编(bian)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong),是我国目前出(chu)土数(shu)量最多(duo)、保存最好、音(yin)律最全(quan)、气(qi)势(shi)最宏伟(wei)的(de)一套(tao)编(bian)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)。这套(tao)编(bian)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)以(yi)恢弘的(de)气(qi)势(shi)、精(jing)湛的(de)铸造工艺、非(fei)凡的(de)音(yin)乐效果以(yi)及(ji)内容丰(feng)富(fu)的(de)乐律铭文震惊了世界(jie)!曾侯(hou)乙编(bian)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)每件(jian)呈椭(tuo)(tuǒ)圆形,钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)口凹陷,周身镌(juān)刻(ke)(ke)有精(jing)美(mei)的(de)纹饰和(he)(he)文字。钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)架上(shang)也刻(ke)(ke)有花纹。全(quan)套(tao)编(bian)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)共六十五(wu)件(jian),以(yi)大(da)小和(he)(he)音(yin)高为(wei)序编(bian)成八组,悬挂(gua)(gua)在两(liang)列(lie)三层(ceng)的(de)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)架上(shang)。下层(ceng)悬挂(gua)(gua)着十二件(jian)大(da)甬(yong)(yǒnɡ)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)和(he)(he)一件(jian)镈(bó)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong),中(zhong)(zhong)层(ceng)悬挂(gua)(gua)着三十三件(jian)中(zhong)(zhong)等的(de)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong),上(shang)层(ceng)悬挂(gua)(gua)着十九件(jian)小钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)。整(zheng)套(tao)编(bian)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)排列(lie)整(zheng)齐,宏伟(wei)壮观。这套(tao)编(bian)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)因(yin)下排甬(yong)钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)上(shang)铭刻(ke)(ke)有“曾侯(hou)乙”而得名。钟(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)架由二百四十五(wu)个构件(jian)组成,设计精(jing)巧,结(jie)构稳定,可(ke)以(yi)拆卸(xiè)。它历经两(liang)千多(duo)年,出(chu)土时依然矗立如故,让人赞叹(tan)不已。
这套在地下埋藏了两(liang)千四百多年的(de)(de)(de)大型编钟,至今(jin)音(yin)乐(le)性能良好。它音(yin)域宽广(guang),仅次于(yu)现代钢琴;音(yin)色纯(chun)正并富于(yu)变化,高音(yin)区(qu)清(qing)脆,中(zhong)音(yin)区(qu)洪(hong)亮,低音(yin)浑厚,不仅可以演(yan)奏(zou)动听(ting)的(de)(de)(de)古代乐(le)曲,而(er)且(qie)能演(yan)奏(zou)中(zhong)外现代音(yin)乐(le)。更为(wei)神(shen)奇(qi)的(de)(de)(de)是,一般的(de)(de)(de)物体只能发出一个(ge)乐(le)音(yin),而(er)编钟的(de)(de)(de)每(mei)件钟都能发出两(liang)个(ge)乐(le)音(yin),并且(qie)互不干扰(rao)。中(zhong)国古代一钟双音(yin)的(de)(de)(de)创造令世人(ren)惊叹不已。
专家们(men)在对曾侯乙编(bian)钟(zhong)逐(zhu)件(jian)进行(xing)精心的(de)测音之后(hou),决定敲响(xiang)(xiang)这套(tao)“只见(jian)其形,不闻其声(sheng)(sheng)”的(de)编(bian)钟(zhong),以(yi)认识和体现它的(de)价值。1978年(nian)8月1日(ri),一场曾侯乙编(bian)钟(zhong)原件(jian)演奏音乐会举行(xing)了(le)(le)。沉(chen)寂了(le)(le)两(liang)千(qian)四百多(duo)年(nian)的(de)编(bian)钟(zhong),重新向世(shi)人发出了(le)(le)它那雄浑而又浪(lang)漫(man)的(de)千(qian)古绝响(xiang)(xiang)。编(bian)钟(zhong)演奏以(yi)《东方红(hong)》为开篇,接(jie)着是古曲《楚殇(shang)(shānɡ)》、外国(guo)名曲《一路平安》、民族歌曲《草原上升起不落(luo)的(de)太阳》,最后(hou)以(yi)《国(guo)际歌》的(de)乐曲落(luo)幕。音乐会持(chi)续了(le)(le)两(liang)个小(xiao)时(shi)。演出结(jie)束了(le)(le),听众还深深沉(chen)浸在这古雅的(de)乐声(sheng)(sheng)中(zhong),许多(duo)人泪水涟(1ián)涟,停顿数秒(miao)后(hou),大家才回(hui)过(guo)神(shen)来报(bao)以(yi)热(re)烈的(de)掌声(sheng)(sheng)。
1997年7月l日(ri),在香港回归的庆典上,我国编钟乐(le)团用精(jing)心复(fu)制的曾侯乙编钟,演奏《交响曲1997:天、地、人》,以新的音(yin)响和奏鸣祈祷着(zhe)和谐美满、国泰民安;以“文明古国的象(xiang)征”向(xiang)世人展示今日(ri)中国的辉煌。
