The Lark Ascending 云雀飞翔

《云雀飞翔》是英国作曲家沃恩·威廉斯的作品，灵感源自乔治·梅里迪斯122行的同名诗歌《云雀飞翔》。在公开版的曲目扉页上，他还引用了几行梅里迪斯的诗。该曲由两种版本：小提琴加钢琴版，作于1914年；还有小提琴加管弦乐版，作于1920年。现在听到的多为后者。五声音阶形式的引入，把小提琴从基调中心解脱出来，这也是作曲家印象派风格的体现。在英国听众中，这是最受欢迎的古典保留曲目之一。

The Lark Ascending is a work by the English composer Vaughan Williams, inspired by George Meredith's 122-line poem of the same name about skylark. He included this portion of Meredith's poem on the flyleaf of the published work. The work was written in two versions: violin and piano, written in 1914; and violin and orchestra, written in 1920. The orchestral version is the one that is almost always heard now. The use of pentatonic scale patterns frees the violin from a tonal center, and shows the impressionistic side of Vaughan Williams' style. It is one of the most popular pieces in the Classical repertoire among British listeners.
