商业音乐,又称流行音乐,是一种音乐流派的名称,“流行”是它的一个重要特征。它的特点是,流行音乐主要是在城市里制作,由专业音乐家创作,并经常通过口碑传播。1950年以来,这一术语专门指非古典形式的歌曲,如披头士、滚石、厄尔巴等的音乐。美国是世界政治、经济和文化交流中心。它在流行音乐的产生和发展中起到了主导作用。从蓝调、爵士乐到摇滚乐,流行音乐都做出了巨大的贡献,引领着世界各地的流行音乐人不断创作优秀的音乐作品,丰富人们的文化生活。因此,商业音乐以其重要的社会功能在社会中占有重要的地位。
Commercial music, also known as pop music, is the name of a musical genre, and “popular” is a very important feature of it. Its characteristic is that pop music has been mainly produced in the city, created by professional musicians, and often spread through word of mouth. Since 1950, this term specifically refers to non-classical forms of songs, such as the music performed by Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elba and so on. The United States is the political, economic and cultural exchanging center of the world. It has played a dominant role in the birth and development of pop music. From blues and jazz to rock music, pop music has made great contributions, leading the pop musicians all over the world to create excellent musical works continuously to enrich people’s cultural life. Therefore, commercial music has a vital role in society for its important social functions.
首先,流行音乐可以增强人们的精神追求。音乐所蕴含的道德精神、情感和爱情,可以被人们接受,并逐渐转化为人们精神追求的一部分,在传播过程中无意识地影响着观众。例如,在20世纪80年代,迈克尔·杰克逊和麦当娜等杰出的流行音乐人出现了。他们不仅取得了卓越的商业成就,而且取得了卓越的音乐成就,彻底改变了流行音乐。迈克尔杰克逊热衷于慈善事业,呼吁世界和平和民族团结。麦当娜的女权主义和性解放思想对当今流行音乐主题和全球流行文化产生了巨大影响。他们的音乐对人们的思想和精神解放产生了非常积极的影响。西蒙弗里斯指出,流行音乐是一种被拥有的东西,人们把它作为自己身份的一部分,并把它融入自己的感觉中(弗里斯,1987,第133-149页)。人们在接触流行音乐的同时,也能感受到自己的积极内涵,从而在精神上得到了提升,并被内化为个性的一部分。
First of all, popular music can enhance people's spiritual pursuit. The moral spirit, emotions and lovecontained in the music can be accepted by people and gradually transformed into part of their spiritual pursuits, that unconsciously influences the audience in the spread process. For example, in the 1980s, outstanding pop musicians such as Michael Jackson and Madonna had emerged. They not only achieved outstanding business success but also made excellent musical attainments, completely changing the popular music. Michael Jackson was passionate about charity and called for world peace and ethnic solidarity. Madonna's feminist and sexual liberation opinions had tremendous impacts on today's popular music themes and global pop culture. Their music has had a very positive effect on the people's thinking and spiritual emancipation. Simon Frith pointed out that pop music is something possessed, that people make it part of their own identity and build it into their sense of themselves (Frith, 1987, pp.133-149). While being exposed to popular music, people can feel their positive connotations, and thus have been spiritually improved and internalized as part of their personality.
此外,流行音乐极大地促进了音乐经济的发展。如今,世界上到处都是流行音乐,只要有扩音器,就有流行音乐传播。作为一个听众,在听音乐的过程中,对音乐的热情和学习也得到了激发。例如,我国卡拉OK产业的蓬勃发展,人们学习电钢琴、吉他、电吉他、电贝司、萨克斯管等现代乐器,弥补了音乐艺术素质的不足,提高了个人音乐训练水平,从而促进了我国卡拉OK的发展。音乐产业的发展。同时,许多流行歌星专辑及其音乐会能够有效地激发消费者的关注和购买,带动经济增长,促进第三产业的发展,从而刺激国民经济的发展(张,2017,pp.494-498)。
In addition, pop music greatly promoted the development of music economy. Nowadays, the world is full of pop music, pop music is spread wherever there is a loudspeaker. As an audience, in the process of listening to music, the enthusiasm for music and learning it are also stimulated. For example, the booming development of China's karaoke industry, people’s learning of electric pianos, guitars, electric guitars, electric bass, saxophone and other modern musical instruments to make up for the lack of musical quality of art, have improved individual music training, thus promoting the development of music industry. At the same time, many albums ofpop stars and their concerts can effectively stimulate the consumer's attention and purchase, driving economic growth, promoting the development of the tertiary industry and thus stimulating the development of the national economy (Zhang, 2017, pp.494-498).
最后,流行音乐有助于民族文明的形成。从某种意义上说,流行音乐对人的影响也塑造了当代人的素质和文明。不同的民族文化包含着不同的流行音乐文化。例如,早期流行音乐是一种新的文化形式,起源于工人阶级和中下阶层。为了生存,黑人不得不选择在欧洲、美国或其他地方工作。早期的流行音乐是为了表达他们对家乡的爱和怀念。流行音乐种类繁多,表现了不同民族的精神文明,具有各民族的独特特点。例如,爵士乐融合了一些白人的音乐作品。说唱音乐反映了城市黑人独特的体验,逐渐形成了一种音乐风格(Berry,1994,pp.165-187),拉丁音乐更像是一个多民族的集合,是多种音乐融合形成的多元混合型音乐。
Finally, pop music helps the formation of national civilization. In a certain sense, it can be considered that the influence of popular music on people also shapes the quality and civilization of contemporary people. Different ethnic cultures contain different pop music culture. For example, early pop music was a new form of culture derived from the working class and the lower middle class. In order to survive, black people had to choose to work at Europe and the United States or other places. The pop music at early time was to express their love and nostalgia for their hometown. And there are many kinds of pop music that express the spirit and civilization of different nationalities and are imbued with the unique characteristics of each ethnic group. For example, jazz incorporates the musical composition of some whites. Rap music reflects the urban black’s distinct experience, gradually forming a kind of music style (Berry, 1994, pp.165-187).Latin music is more like a multi-ethnic collection, which is a diversified mixed-type music formed by the integration of a variety of music.
音乐没有界限,也没有歧视。它是时代的产物,是历史的产物。它是人类文明进步的重要体现,在社会发展中发挥着重要作用,因为它具有重要的社会功能。
Music has no boundaries and no discrimination. It is a product of the time and a product of history. It is also a great manifestation of the progress of human civilization and plays an important role in the development of society, because it fulfills important social functions.
