流⾏ Pop 流⾏⾳乐,是指那些结构短⼩、内容通俗、形式活泼、情感真挚,并被⼴⼤群众所 喜爱,⼴泛传唱或欣赏,流⾏⼀时的甚⾄流传后世的器乐曲和歌曲。这些乐曲和歌 曲,植根于⼤众⽣活的丰厚⼟壤之中。因此,又有“⼤众⾳乐”之称。 “流⾏⾳乐”。 从字⾯上看,包含两层意思:第⼀,它必须是⾳乐(这说的是事物的属性问题); 第⼆,它必须具有“可传递性”(就是流⾏的特点)。只有具备了这两个⽅⾯的基本 要求,亦即“是⾳乐”和“⼴为传递性”。那么,才能称得上是“⼴义上”的“流⾏⾳ 乐”。具体⽽⾔,流⾏⾳乐是与传统的“严肃⾳乐”的⼀个“相对概念”,请注意我的措 辞,是“相对”。换句话说:他们之间的界限在实际中其实并不那么明显。就像我们 现实中的“⽩天与⿊夜”⼀样,不同的时刻,不同的国家,所处的“⿊”与“⽩”都是不 同的(也就是“时空的相对论”——因为⾳乐本⾝也是时空的东西)。⽐如浪漫派作 曲家李斯特的《爱之梦》就是传统的古典⾳乐,但是你能说它不流⾏吗?所以,古 典⾳乐也可以流⾏,流⾏⾳乐在特定的历史环境下,和⼈民认可度的前提下也可以 成为“古典”也可以成为“流⾏”。 所谓流⾏⾳乐,准确的概念应为商品⾳乐,即以赢 利为主要⽬的创作的⾳乐。它的市场性是主要的,艺术性是次要的。“商品⾳乐”这 ⼀概念⽐任何⼀个概念都科学、合理、准确。单从字⾯上看,“通俗”指易解易懂, “流⾏”指⼴为流传,这样看来象《义勇军进⾏曲》、《歌唱祖国》、《东⽅红》 《南泥湾》等歌曲也可以称为通俗歌曲或流⾏歌曲。这些歌曲都虽然通俗易懂、流 传很⼴。但是,这些歌曲是决不能称为商品歌曲的,因为它们决不是以赢利为主要 ⽬的创作的。从这⼀点也可以看出“商品⾳乐”这⼀概念是科学、合理、准确的。 流 ⾏⾳乐起源于美国的爵⼠⾳乐。20世纪初,美国出现了⼀种由多民族⽂化汇集⽽成 的爵⼠⾳乐。这种新兴⾳乐,以它独特的演奏(演唱)⽅式,刷新了听众的⽿⽬,轰 动了全美国,又很快传遍西欧各国。 Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of "popular") is a genre of popular music which originated in its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, even though the former is a description of music which is popular (and can include any style). As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country; nonetheless, there are core elements which define pop. Such include generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks. So-called "pure pop" music, such as power pop, features all these elements, using electric guitars, drums and bass for instrumentation; in the case of such music, the main goal is usually that of being pleasurable to listen to, rather than having much artistic depth. Pop music is generally thought of as a genre which is commercially recorded and desires to have a mass audience appeal.
