電閃雷鳴波爾卡 Thunder and Lightning Polka


Composer: Johann Strauss Jr. 小約翰˙施特勞斯(1825-1899)

電閃雷鳴波爾卡相信是最響閙的舞曲了,作曲家大量利用敲擊樂器包括定音鼓及鈸製造出特殊的音響效果,來模擬行雷閃電的聲音,配合弦樂奏出的旋律,這段精彩的波爾卡經常在輕歌劇《蝙蝠之謎》中出現。

The Thunder and Lightning Polka, once heard and never forgotten, is possibly the noisiest of dance pieces. The music evokes the sound of thunder and lightning through incessant drum rolls and cymbal crashes to accompany vigorous Polka dancing. It is more frequent than not included into theatre productions of Die Fledermaus.
