摘要
本文考察了在当代百老汇大型音乐剧中,理解亚主词作为过去时的解释学信号的特殊使用所提供的分析可能性。虽然流行音乐研究中正在形成的共识认为,次主音和弦可以包括超出其传统主导作用的各种功能,但暗示这么多已经暴露了一种沉浸在常见音调及其所带来的期望的长期阴影中的方法。在分析流行音乐的某些风格时,与其试图从其共同实践的前因中发展出一种单独的语法,不如从共同实践的角度来分析流行音乐。通过分析Andrew Lloyd Webber的《Sunset Boulevard and Boublil》和Schönberg的《Miss Saigon》中的例子,我认为,通过音调时间性的解释学,而不是试图将其编纂成一种全新的语法,可以更好地理解亚主词受到非常规(过度)强调的情况。
This paper examines analytic possibilities afforded by understanding exceptional uses of the subdominant as a hermeneutic signal of the past tense in contemporary Broadway megamusicals. While an emerging consensus in studies of pop music holds that the subdominant chord can comprise a variety of functions beyond its traditional predominant role, to suggest as much already betrays an approach that is steeped in the long shadow of common-practice tonality and the expectations that it entails. Rather than trying to develop a separate syntax from its common-practice antecedents, it is more fruitful to engage with common-practice perspectives in the analysis of certain styles of pop music. Through analysis of examples from Andrew Lloyd Webber'sSunset Boulevardand Boublil and Schönberg'sMiss Saigon, I argue that cases wherein the subdominant receives an unconventional (over-)emphasis might be better understood through the hermeneutics of tonal temporality, rather than through attempts to codify them as an entirely new syntax.
