拉维.香卡(Ravi Shankar)是印度当代著名的音乐家、作曲家、西塔尔琴演奏家,他的音乐集民族性、传统性、交融性为一体。自1930年起,在他长达几十年的艺术实践生涯中,多次与不同国家的音乐大师交流合作,为印度音乐架起与世界交流之桥梁。他不仅把印度传统音乐推向西方,同时也把印度民族精神和民族文化传播到世界各地。早在19世纪末期,西方与非西方音乐文化交融的音乐创作现象就已开始萌芽,在作品中选择应用“异文化”因素逐渐也成为音乐家进行音乐创作的手段。本文借助音乐学、民族音乐学的研究方法对拉维.香卡艺术实践中将印度音乐文化与西方音乐文化交融的现象进行分析研究,从中寻找音乐家本人对印度本土音乐与西方音乐因素交融的认知和反应以及20世纪中后期音乐家本人在该领域实践的发展状况,同时,为音乐家借鉴异文化音乐因素为己用的音乐作品提供研究依据。 Ravi Shankar is a famous Indian contemporary musician, composer and sitar player. His music collection is a combination of nationality, tradition and blending. Since 1930, during his decades of artistic practice, he has exchanged and cooperated with many music masters from different countries for many times, bridging the gap between India music and the world. He not only pushed Indian traditional music to the west, but also spread Indian national spirit and national culture all over the world. As early as the end of the 19th century, the phenomenon of musical creation blending western and non-western music and culture began to sprout. In the works, the choice and application of “different culture” factors gradually became the means of musician’s music creation. In this paper, we use the research methods of musicology and ethnomusicology to analyze the phenomena of blending Indian music culture with western music culture in the artistic practice of Ravi Shankar, looking for the integration of Indian native music and Western music Cognition and reaction as well as the development of musicians themselves practiced in this area in the mid and late 20th century. At the same time, it provides the basis for musicians to borrow music from different cultural factors for their own use.
