第二十三期：The Latin American Spirit

概要
这一期介绍的拉丁美洲的古典音乐，是一期忍不住想要跳舞的节目💃伯恩斯坦说拉丁美洲音乐的两大特点一是充满切分音的节奏，另一个是民族乐器带来的特殊色彩。伯恩斯坦还提到了拉丁美洲的“拉丁”一词来自于被殖民的历史（葡萄牙西班牙说的语言都属于拉丁语系），但是拉丁美洲的音乐更受到当地原住民以及非洲的深刻影响。这期节目里介绍了巴西作曲家Oscar Fernandez，Villa-Lobos，还有墨西哥作曲家Revueltas的作品，各具特色。除此之外还介绍了两位受到拉丁美洲音乐影响的美国作曲家的作品，一个是Aaron Coplan的一首，另一个是Bernstein自己的West Side Story🤣🤣🤣其实从West Side Story就可以猜到伯恩斯坦本人应该是很喜欢拉丁美洲的音乐的～这期节目里他指挥得也是很投入，感觉马上就要在指挥台上跳起来了～

我个人对拉丁美洲古典音乐的了解不是很多（当然，我对其他了解其实也不是很多），只听一两张那种"Latin American Classics"合集，但是一直都对拉丁美洲的音乐很上头，感觉它们在舞曲和热情的表面下有一种“英气”的东西（形容得不好😳）。看完这期准备再多explore一点拉美的作品，也欢迎大家推荐呀！

Now actually I'm not crazy about that word "Latin" to describe this kind of music, because it tells only part of the story. When we speak of "Latin America" we are, of course, referring to the historical fact that these countries were conquered, settled, and exploited by invaders from Latin countries: like Spain—or, as in the case of Brazil, from Portugal. That's why Spanish and Portuguese are still the official languages of our friends to the south of us: and those languages are called "Latin" languages because they developed from the old language of ancient Rome. But the Latin American spirit—which is our subject today—has other ancestors besides the Latin ones, at least as important; and they are first of all the Indians,—the original inhabitants of those countries, and in some cases very strong civilizations in themselves—and secondly, Africans, a tremendously important influence, at least as important as it is in our own country. And it is the mingling of these different ancestors, influences, and heritages, which makes the Latin American spirit, what it is at any rate in the music.

The word America means much more than only the United States—that North America, South America, and Central America are, or ought to be, a solid united hemisphere.
