马来西亚莱雅琴聆听空间

录影片段

前者：Contrabass 的琴声如同大山一样稳重，让内心的污垢沉淀下来；

后者：Choroi harp 的琴声非常温柔静美，像一阵微风轻拂着

那个下午，趁大家在午睡时刻，我轻轻揉揉地弹起了这两台稀有的琴；琴声与古董钟摆的滴滴答答形成了不和谐的对比，内在的节奏如同在狂风中的小草，坚定不移得前行。
Choroi harp 的琴声非常温柔静美，像一阵微风轻拂着；Contrabass 的琴声如同大山一样稳重，让内心的污垢沉淀下来。我把录影转发给Murray Wright，他就是这把稳如泰山Contrabass 的制琴师，但他只听到隐隐约约的三个音，却拨动了他内心，而谱曲了这首"The Kindest Thing"，为这趟从马来西亚飞往爱尔兰探望John老师之旅写下旋律，倾诉他内心的感受。
当天，我把谱抄下，和John Billing尝试合奏；虽然只是短短一句，那已是最好的开始；隔天，John Clark 带领着每周一次的团体练习，一起录下了这首曲子；在弹奏此曲时，忆起一切的点点滴滴，那个无需言语的时空，只有乐音是最真诚的倾诉。
等待那一天春天花开时，和John Billing 再次把此曲弹奏完.....

待续

我们保留真实且纯净的琴声，
在时空流动的不只是能量，
还有人间的爱与生命的美好。
愿这个星期日的您，
都可以感受到！❤️🥰🌈

约九年前，我邀请 John Billing 来到马来西亚，举办了本地第一场莱雅琴音乐会。那一夜，其中一首乐曲正是《Still Water》。
这是老师亲自为莱雅琴创作的静心之作，持续回荡的泛音，仿佛水面泛起的层层涟漪。乐曲的意境静如湖水，而我心中浮现的画面，正是我家乡——山明水秀的太平湖。
那时我便悄悄想着：如果有一天，能在太平湖畔弹起这首曲子，那该多美啊。
那天清晨，太平湖上空的云朵像花一样，一朵朵在天空中绽放。临近黄昏，天色依旧晴朗明媚。我在湖边轻轻弹起《Still Water》，琴声如水般流淌。
暮色渐沉，从太平动物园飞出的白鹮鹳，正是归巢的时刻。它们随着琴声盘旋，在湖中小岛的树梢间绕飞；当最后一个音符落下，它们也悄然消失在天际。
最让我感动的，是一只体型硕大的四脚蛇，静静依偎在岸边，从头到尾默默聆听，一动不动。起初，还有一只黑狗与另外三只野狗从对岸游泳而来，但最终留下的，只有它一位——端坐在最前排，姿态优雅，仿佛一位尊贵的听众，直到中场休息才缓缓离去。
下一次，我们期待能将莱雅琴音乐会真正带进大自然的怀抱，与万物生灵一同沉浸其中——
在音乐与自然相遇的那一刻，分享最纯粹、最喜悦的共鸣。

（祈愿这份美好的时刻远送给John 老师早日康复！❤️💐🌈）

About nine years ago, I invited John Billing to Malaysia to present the country’s very first lyre concert. One of the pieces performed that evening was Still Water.
This quiet, meditative work was composed by the teacher himself especially for the lyre. The continuous overtones echo like ripples spreading across water. The music is as still as a lake, and in my heart, the image that arose was my hometown—the serene and picturesque Taiping Lake Gardens.
From that moment on, I carried a simple wish: how beautiful it would be to one day play this piece by the lake itself.
On that morning, clouds above Taiping Lake blossomed in the sky like flowers. As dusk approached, the weather remained clear and radiant. I began to play Still Water by the lakeside, letting the sound flow gently into the open air.
At twilight, white herons flew out from the Taiping Zoo, returning to their nests. As the music unfolded, they circled the trees on the lake’s island, moving in harmony with the sound. When the final note faded, they, too, disappeared into the distance.
Most touching of all was a large monitor lizard resting quietly by the shore, listening attentively from beginning to end without moving. At first, a black dog swam across the lake together with three other stray dogs, but in the end, only one remained. It sat gracefully in the front row like a VIP guest, listening with calm presence, and quietly left only during the intermission.
Next time, we hope to bring the lyre concert fully into the embrace of nature—
to be immersed together with all living beings, sharing the joy of that moment when music meets the natural world.

(May this beautiful moment be sent to John Billing, with our heartfelt wishes for his speedy recovery❤️💐🌈)

不知不觉，学生们终于长大，可以弹奏一些契合她们心灵的旋律；这次我们携手将齐奏这首乐曲「Ebb and Flow」，此曲创作于莱雅琴作曲家John Billing ；在学生们学习这首曲子时，他们似乎都可以感受旋律中不可言语的奥妙----那些与心灵共鸣的平静。

先邀请您和我们一起在线聆听这首曲子，剩下的七首莱雅琴弹奏，我们期待您和我们一起感受，莱雅琴那动人心弦的静心疗愈。您可以一个人静静地闭上眼睛，坐在舒服的座位上，感受音乐在内心的流动；也可以打开您的灵魂之窗，亲眼看看这即将庆祝100岁的乐器---现代莱雅琴（Modern Lyre）。

位子有限，期待您的出现！也欢迎转发给更多朋友知道！

Time flies and the students have grown —
now able to play melodies that truly resonate with their inner world.

This time, we will come together to perform “Ebb and Flow,” a piece composed by lyre composer John Billing.

As the students learned this piece, they seemed to sense an unspoken mystery within the melody —
a quiet calm that gently resonates with the heart.

We warmly invite you to join us online for a first listening of this piece. For the remaining seven pieces of lyre performances, we look forward to sharing with you the deeply touching, meditative, and healing qualities of the lyre.

You may choose to sit comfortably, close your eyes, and allow the music to flow within;
or open your window of the soul and witness this instrument — the Modern Lyre, now approaching its 100th year.

Seats are limited, and we sincerely look forward to your presence. You are welcome to share with your friends!
The 3rd “Music Together” Teacher & Student Concert,
January 18 — let us meet there!
