国歌的音色

用铜管乐器演奏国歌已经成为世界通例。19世纪以来,集欧洲国家铜管乐器之大成的军乐队,成为代表整个＂西方形象＂的经典之一,挑战了各国传统的文化品味,模糊了各个民族的文化界限。铜管乐队的风行很大程度上不是赖于这种乐队音响本体的功能,而是多半来自对强大的西方的效仿。在这一效仿下,国歌的地域意义和民族意义被消解,民族特征被淡化。在非物质文化遗产保护的背景下,对西方乐器和民族乐器的讨论,已经转化为以交响乐队为代表的＂普世价值＂与以民族乐器为代表的＂文化记忆＂问题的讨论,这是民族意识崛起在另一层面的表现。

On the Tone of the National Anthem

It＇s a customary to play national anthem on brass instruments in the world.Since 1900s,the military band in European has become the classic representative of the whole westen world and challenged the traditional cultural favor and bounderies of other nations.The popularity of brass band lies much more in the imitation of the powerful west than in the fonding of the band itself.Thus the regional and national features of the anthem are melted and faded away.Fortunately,the intangible cultural heritage protection projects wake up the national awareness in discussing either wenstern or natioal instruments and finally leads it to the discussion between universal value represented by symphony orchestra and the cultural memory represented by national instruments.
