演唱:全體
舞蹈:全體
劇情:
午夜的破爛場,貓兒輕巧而 緩慢地一只接一只從隱蔽的 地方鉆出來。
今夜是一個特殊的夜晚,因 為一年里,只有今夜,貓兒 們聚集在破爛場里,慶祝只 屬于潔里珂的榮耀。
在這一場,每一只貓都有機(jī)會出場亮像。他們的歌聲講述了潔里珂貓的 輕巧體態(tài)和獨(dú)特性情,而他們的舞蹈節(jié)奏明快,動作流暢,與歡快的歌 聲相合。在這一場里,應(yīng)該是所有的演員一起上場的,就連后面才要介 紹的格瑞澤、老德特等有特色的貓,在這一場也穿著普通貓的戲裝上場。
歌詞:
Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark? Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne? Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark? Are you cock of the wall when you're walking alone?
Because Jellicles are and Jellicles do Jellicles do and Jellicles would Jellicles would and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do
When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet? Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air? Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street? Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?
Because Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles do and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles do and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do
Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant? Familiar with candle, with book and with bell? Were you Whittington's friend? The Pied Piper's assistant? Have you been an alumnus of heaven and hell?
Are you mean like a minx? Are you lean like a lynx? Are you keen to be seen when you're smelling a rat? Were you there when the pharaohs commissioned the Sphinx? If you were, and you are, you're a Jellicle cat
Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire We can run up the wall, we can swing through the trees We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire
Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Can you sing at the same time in more than one key Duets by Rossini and waltzes by Strauss And can you(as cats do)begin with a C That always triumphantly brings down the house?
Jellicle cats are queen of the nights Singing at astronomical heights Handling pieces from the messiah Hallelujah, angelical choir
The mystical divinity of unashamed felinity Round the cathedral rang “Vivat!” Life to the everlasting cat!Feline, fearless, faithful and true To others who do-what
Jellicles do and Jellicles can Jellicles can and Jellicles do Jellicle cats sing Jellicle chants Jellicles old and Jellicles new Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats
Practical cats, dramatical cats Pragmatical cats, fanatical cats Oratorical cats, delphioracle cats Skeptical cats, dispeptical cats Romantical cats, pedantical cats Critical cats, parasitical cats Allegorical cats, metaphorical cats Statistical cats and mystical cats Political cats, hypocritical cats Clerical cats, hysterical cats Cynical cats, rabbinical cats

3.貓的命名
THE NAMING OF CATS
演唱:全體
舞蹈:全體
劇情:
因為陌生人(觀眾)出現(xiàn)在貓兒們的天地,舞蹈后的貓兒們對陌生者心存懷疑,但是很 快他們就接納了陌生者的出現(xiàn),并且為他們 解釋貓的命名。
所有的貓都有三個名字,第一個名 字是普通名字,是給家人在平日里 叫的;第二個名字是有尊嚴(yán)的名字,是要讓每一只貓覺得驕傲的獨(dú)特 名字,而且每只貓的名字都不相同。而第三個名字,是秘密的名字,貓兒是永遠(yuǎn)不會告訴他類動物的。如果你看到一只貓在下午的太陽里 暝想,那么有可能,他就是在思索 他的神秘名字。
這一首歌和別的歌不同,它是由所 有的貓念詩一樣念出來的。在迷離 的伴奏音樂下,貓的言語快速而有 韻律。
歌詞: Solo: There's a man over there with a look of surprise As much as to say well now, how about that?
Munkustrap: Do I actually see with my own very eyes A man who's not heard of a Jellicle cat? What's a Jellicle cat?
All: What's a Jellicle cat?
All: The naming of cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you a cat must have three different names
First of all, there's the name that the family use daily Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James, Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--All of them sensible, everyday names
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter Some for the gentlemen, some for the
4.潔里珂舞會的邀請
THE INVITATION TO THE JELLICLE BALL
演唱:迷斯特,蒙克斯
舞蹈:迷斯特,維多利亞
劇情:
潔里珂貓對同類發(fā)出的邀請,由迷斯特略帶 童音的動情呼喚開場。然后,蒙克斯向其他 的貓,尤其是還沒有參加過潔里珂舞會的小 貓解釋了舞會的意義:在今晚月亮最圓的安 靜時刻,貓群的首領(lǐng)老德特將會出現(xiàn),只有 他有權(quán)利選出一只能夠獲得重生的貓。接下來,純白的幼貓維多利亞有一段獨(dú)舞,象徵著舞會的正式開始。
這一場的音樂安靜甜美,維多 利亞的獨(dú)舞更是靈活美妙,技 術(shù)高超。再有的一點就是,這 一場標(biāo)志著《貓》的起始部份 的結(jié)束。許多特殊的貓也從場 上下去,直到介紹到他們時才 上來。
歌詞:
Mistoffelees: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all The Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
All: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all The Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one come all The Jellicle moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Munkustrap: Jellicle cats meet once a year At the Jellicle Ball where we all rejoice And the Jellicle Leader will soon appear And make what is known as the Jellicle Choice When Old Deuteronomy just before dawn Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be reborn And come back to a different Jellicle Life For waiting up there is the Heaviside Layer With wonders one Jellicle only will see Jellicles ask because Jellices dare Who will it be?
5.老甘比貓
THE OLD GUMBIE CAT
演唱:蒙克斯,邦姆博,蒂米特,詹麗
舞蹈:蒙克斯,詹妮,詹麗,邦姆博,蒂米特
劇情:
所有的貓兒都想被他們的首領(lǐng) 選中,從而獲得重生。這一首 歌,是蒙克斯的推薦
老甘比貓其實是詹妮的別稱,她被稱 為甘比貓是因為“她整天坐著坐著坐 著坐著,這就是一只甘比貓”。這大 約也是甘比(又一個在字典上查不到 的詞)的含義。
但是老甘比貓并不是總這樣懶的。白天里她什么也不干,但是到了晚上,她就會充滿活力,在房子里四下走動。她教導(dǎo)“沒有教養(yǎng)”的老鼠們 音樂和編織,希望這能使他們有文化一點。她也很為沒有事做的蟑螂們 擔(dān)心,所以她總要讓他們忙得透不過氣來,甚至調(diào)教出一隊蟑螂的軍事 演習(xí)來。詹妮也很關(guān)系小貓的生活,好像是貓群的媽媽一樣。大家都很 喜歡她,高興地為她伴舞。
這一首歌有好幾個段落,前一段由蒙克斯演唱,十分悠揚(yáng)。(這首歌的 頭兩句,如果你仔細(xì)聽,會覺得和香港的BEYOND的一首歌“大地 ”很像。尤其“大地”里的“眼前不是我熟悉的雙眼,陌生的感覺一點 點”一句--記憶中的歌詞,如哪位看官知道確切歌詞,請告訴我。)接下來詹妮在夜晚工作的一段,音樂轉(zhuǎn)成明快的爵士樂,由三個女高音 :詹麗,邦姆博和蒂米特演唱。最后是一段由大家都上場的爵士舞。
歌詞:
Munkustrap: I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots Her coat is of the tabby kind with tiger stripes and leopard spots All day she sits beneath the stairs or on the steps or on the mat She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat That's what makes a Gumbie Cat
Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter: But When the day's hustle and bustle is done Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun And when all the family's in bed and asleep She tucks up her skirts to the basement to creep She is deeply concerned with the ways of the mice Their behavior's not good and their manners not nice And when she has got them lined up on the matting She teaches them music, crocheting and tatting
Munkustrap: I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots The curtain cord she likes to wind and tie it into sailor knots She sits upon the windowsill, or anything that's smooth and flat She sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat That's what makes a Gumbie Cat
Jellylorum, Bombalurina, Demeter: But When the day's hustle and bustle is done Then the Gumbie Cat's work is but hardly begun She thinks that the cockroaches need employment To protect them from idle and wanton destroyment
So she's formed from that lot of disorderly louts A troop of well disciplined helpful boy scouts With a purpose in life and a good deed to do And she's even created a Beetles Tattoo!
All: For she's a jolly good fellow!
Jennyanydots: Thank you my dears
6.藍(lán)湯姆塔閣
THE RUM TUM TUGGER
演唱:塔閣
舞蹈:塔閣
劇情:
老甘比貓詹妮的音樂剛到尾聲,就被 下一只貓,塔閣的入場打斷了。塔閣 被稱為好奇的貓。但是也許他更應(yīng)該 被叫做受寵的貓。他的人類家庭對他 百依百順,養(yǎng)成了他驕傲自大,喜歡 惹人注意,又十分挑剔的習(xí)慣。在他 的歌里,他告訴大家他只喜歡沒有的 東西,到了手里就又不喜歡了:如果 你給他家鼠,他只想要田鼠;可要是 你給他田鼠,他又覺得家鼠的味道好。他出了門就想回去,回到屋里又想 出去。他要求別人給他想要的東西,可是人要是真的給了他,他又覺得還 是自己去找到得好。
塔閣是只相貌威風(fēng)的公貓,他是唯一 頸邊有鬃毛的貓,看上去好像雄獅一 樣出眾。他是貓中搖滾歌星般的人物,十分受母貓們的喜愛,尤其是一群 小貓更喜歡圍著他打轉(zhuǎn),為他的每句 歌詞傾倒。
塔閣的歌,也如他的人一樣,是快速的搖滾樂。塔閣的演員大多有輕微 的鼻音,因此聽起來好聽而且有一點討人喜歡的蠻橫霸道的神氣。他的 舞蹈不多,一說是因為塔閣的鬃毛太重。他只是在所有人視線的中心任 意游走,挑逗追逐著他小母貓們。
歌詞:
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
If you offer me pheasant I'd rather have grouse If you put me in a house I would much prefer a flat If you put me in a flat then I'd rather have a house If you set me on a mouse then I'd only want a rat If you set me on a rat then I'd rather chase a mouse
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for me to shout it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything about it
The Rum Tum Tugger is a terrible bore
When you let me in, then I want to go out I'm always on the wrong side of every door As soon as I'm at home, then I'd like to get about I like to lie in the bureau drawer And I make such a fuss if I can't get out
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat
And there isn't any need for you to doubt it For he will do as he do do And there's no doing anything about it
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious beast
My disobliging ways are a matter of habit If you offer me fish then I always want a feast When there isn't any fish then I won't eat rabbit If you offer me cream then I sniff and sneer But I only like what I find for myself So you'll catch me in it right up to my ears If you put it away on the larder shelf
The Rum Tum Tugger is artful and knowing The Rum Tum Tugger
Doesn't care for a cuddle But I'll leap in your lap in the middle of your sewing For there's nothing I enjoy like a horrible muddle
The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat The Rum Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle The Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat And there isn't any need for me to spout it
For he will do as he do do
And there's no doing anything abou-----t it!
7.格瑞澤貝拉:華美的貓
GRIZABELLA: THE GLAMOUR CAT
演唱:格瑞澤,蒂米特,邦姆博
MIDI音樂
劇情:
塔閣的歌結(jié)束時,格瑞澤首次上場了。她的衣裳襤褸,神色疲憊。塔閣 對她威脅地直立起鬃毛,傲然地擦著她的身邊下場。
幾只小貓可憐格瑞澤的悲慘樣子,想 湊過去安慰她,卻被年紀(jì)大的貓們拉 開了。
蒂米特走上前,仿佛要撫摸 格瑞澤,可是在最后一剎那 失去了勇氣,悲傷地逃開了。格瑞澤哀怨地歌聲責(zé)備擋 在她面前的蒙克斯。
蒂米特和邦姆博在一旁唱出了她的身份:原來她就是當(dāng)年驕傲美麗的格 瑞澤貝拉,華美的貓。她在年輕的時候就離開了貓群去看外面的世界,成為貓兒們不可饒恕的叛徒?,F(xiàn)在她歷盡艱辛,狼狽地回來時,貓兒們 仍然不肯原諒她。格瑞澤只好又哀傷地下場了。
歌詞:
Grizabella: Remark the cat who hesitates towards you In the light of the door which opens on her like a grin You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin
Demeter: She haunted many a low resort near the grimy road of Tottenham Court She flitted about the no man's land From “The Rising Sun” to “The Friend at Hand” And the postman sighed as he scratched his head “You'd really had thought she ought to be dead” And who would ever suppose that that was Grizabella the Glamour Cat
Bombalurina: Grizabella the Glamour Cat, Grizabella the Glamour Cat
8.巴斯特瓊斯,城里的貓
BUSTOPHER JONES: THE CAT ABOUT TOWN
演唱:詹妮,巴斯特
劇情:
格瑞澤下場之后,場上的 氣氛又歡快起來。詹妮開 始介紹她的好朋友,神氣 的胖貓巴斯特。巴斯特是 所有貓群的驕傲,因為他 是貓里的紳士,不光有身 份,而且還吃遍了英國的 酒店和飯館。
巴斯特坐下來給小貓們唱了一 段歌曲,又送給了詹妮一朵鮮 艷的紅花。
這一場有一點過渡的性質(zhì),尤其為了沖淡格瑞澤上場時帶來的沉重,歌 曲都十分輕松,但不見得會像其他的歌那樣給人留下深刻印像。也基本 上沒有舞蹈。巴斯特身穿黑白相間的禮服,用一只小湯匙作拐杖。后來 他用湯匙作高爾夫球棒打球,十分可愛。
歌詞:
JennyAnyDots, Bombalurina, Jellylorum: Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones In fact, he's remarkably fat He doesn't haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs For he's the St.James's Street Cat He's the cat we all greet as he walks down the street In his coat of fastidious black No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers Or such an impeccable back In the whole of St.James's the smartest of names is The name of this brummel of cats And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white spats
In the whole of St.James's the smartest of names is The name of this brummel of cats And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white spats
Bustopher Jones: My visits are occasional to the Senior Educational And it is against the rules For any one cat to belong both to that And the Joint Superior Schools
For a similar reason when game is in season I'm found not at Fox's but Blimp's I am frequently seen at the gay Stage and Screen Which is famous for winkles and shrimps
In the season of venison I give my Benison To the Pothunter's succulent bones And just before noon's not a moment too soon To drop in for a drink at the Drones
When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry At the Siamese or at the Glutton When I look full of gloom then I've lunched at the Tomb On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton
Jellylorum: In the whole of St.James's is the smartest of names Is the name of this brummel of cats And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to By Bustopher Jones in white, Bustopher Jones in white Bustopher Jones in white spats
So much in this way passes Bustopher's day At one club or another he's found It can be no surprise that under our eyes He has grown unmistakably round
He's a twenty-five pounder or I am a bounder
And he's putting on weight everyday
But I'm so well preserved because I've observed All my life a routine, and I'd say I am still in the prime, I shall last out my time That's the word from the stoutest of cats
It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall While Bustopher Jones wears white, Bustopher Jones wears white Bustopher Jones wears white spats
9.蒙哥杰瑞和麗普提澤
MUNGOJERRIE AND RUMPELTEAZER
演唱:迷斯特,蒙哥(百老匯版);蒙哥,麗普(錄象帶版)
舞蹈:蒙哥,麗普
劇情:
突然一聲怪響,隨之傳來警號和紅閃光燈。惡貓麥克的臉出現(xiàn)在舞臺一 角,所有的貓在蒙克斯的保護(hù)下逃離的舞臺,蒙克斯在四下里搜索一遍 之后也下場了。
兩聲咯咯的笑聲,把蒙哥和麗普這兩只小偷兒帶到來場上。
蒙哥和麗普身上背著小包袱,大約是剛剛作案歸來。在歌里他們告訴觀 眾,他們喜歡和人類開玩笑,不是亂拉抽屜,就是偷走主人宴客時客人 的珠寶??墒侨藗円材盟麄儧]辦法,他們甚至分不清究竟是哪一只貓做 的壞事,因為蒙哥和麗普長得一模一樣。
蒙哥和麗普他們的動作靈敏,神態(tài)頑皮,大約還是剛剛成年的小貓。蒙 哥是個滑稽的男孩子,麗普則是個機(jī)靈的女孩。他們的歌舞節(jié)奏都很快,很討人喜愛。在他們的歌結(jié)束的時候,其他的貓一起沖上舞臺,把他 們圍住不讓他們逃走。從此蒙歌和麗普就一直留在臺上。貓群顯然并不 因為他們是小偷就排擠他們。
還有一點就是,他們的歌常常是由不同的人演唱。據(jù)說只有錄象帶版的 《貓》里,蒙哥和麗普的歌才是有蒙哥和麗普本人演唱,其他的時候,不是蒙克斯或迷斯特代唱,就是由蒙哥一個人唱兩個人的歌。這也許和 他們要求高的舞蹈有關(guān),在舞臺上跳動作幅度大的舞蹈,很難一起發(fā)出 嘹亮的歌聲。
歌詞: Demeter: Macavity!
Mungojerrie, Rumpleteazer/Mistoffelees: Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer were a notorious couple of cats As knockabout clowns, quick-change comedians Tight-rope walkers and acrobats They/We had an extensive reputation, they/we made their home in Victoria Grove That was merely their/our center of operation for they/we were incurably given to rove
If the area window was found ajar and the basement looked like a field of war If a tile or two came loose on the roof which presently ceased to be waterproof If the drawers were pulled out from the bedroom chest And you couldn't find one of your winter vests Or after supper one of the girls suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls
Then the family would say, “It's that horrible cat!” It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer And most of the time they left it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had an unusual gift of the gab They were highly efficient cat burglars as well and remarkably smart at a smash and grab They made their home in Victoria Grove, they had no regular occupation They were plausible fellows who liked to engage a friendly policeman in conversation
When the family assembled for Sunday dinner Their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner on Argentine joint, potatoes and greens Then the cook would appear from behind the scenes And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow “I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow The joint has gone from the oven like that!
And the family would say, ”It's that horrible cat!It was Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer!“ And most of the time they left it at that
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer had a wonderful way of working together And some of the time you would say it was luck and some of the time you would say it was weather They'd/We go through the house like a hurricane and no sober person would take his oath Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both? And when you heard a dining room smash or up from the pantry there came a loud crash Or down from the library came a loud ping From a vase that was commonly said to be Ming Then the family would say: Now which was which cat? It was Mungoherrie and Rumpleteazer and there's nothing at all to be done about that!
10.老德特然那米
OLD DEUTERONOMY
演唱:蒙克斯,塔閣
劇情
貓兒們再次重聚舞臺,蒙克斯給 沒有見過老德特的小貓們講述這 位貓群首領(lǐng)的事跡
塔閣也在一半的時候加入,表 現(xiàn)出他對老德特的尊敬。(蒙 克斯對此表現(xiàn)得極其感動,好 像從來不敢奢望傲慢的塔閣也 尊敬老德特
這首歌是贊美老德特一生經(jīng)歷的歌,表明了老德特在貓群里的身份。但 除了強(qiáng)調(diào)老德特的壽命之長(“老德特活了很久,他已經(jīng)活了貓的九條 命--我忍不住想說,九十九條。”),歌里并沒有太多描述老德特業(yè) 績的段落。反復(fù)唱段都是詠嘆“是,不,喔,?。∥蚁胛铱吹搅死系绿?。”歌曲結(jié)束的時候老德特上場,所有的貓都沖上去擁抱住他,表現(xiàn)了 對老德特?zé)o比的尊敬和崇拜
這首歌由兩位男高音合唱,他們的音質(zhì)優(yōu)美,歌曲悠揚(yáng),十分動聽
歌詞
Solo: I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
All: Well of all things can it be really Yes, No, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
Munkustrap: Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession He was famous in proverb and famous in rhyme A long while before Queen Victoria's accession Rum Tum Tugger: Old Deuteronomy's buried nine lives And more I am tempted to say ninety-nine And his numerous progeny prospers and thrives And the village is proud of him in his decline
Munkustrap: At the sight of that placid and bland physiognomy When he sits in the sun on the vicarage wall The oldest inhabitant croaks
Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger: Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
All: Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!My mind may be wandering but I confess I believe it is Old Deuteronomy
Well of all things can it be really Yes, no, ho, hi, oh my eye!
Old Deuteronomy: My legs may be tottery I must go slow And be careful of Old Deuteronomy
11.狗咬狗的可怕事件
THE AWE-FULL BATTLE OF THE PEKES AND THE POLLICLES
演唱:蒙克斯
舞蹈:蒙克斯及眾貓
劇情:
這是蒙克斯為老德特解悶而編寫的一個歌劇。在老德特到來之后,所有 的貓穿上戲裝(比如鞋盒裝做狗頭)扮演各種各樣的狗。劇的情節(jié)很簡 單,就是兩只狗在街上相遇之后打起架來,結(jié)果所有聽見叫聲的狗都跑 來參戰(zhàn)的故事。最后以威武的英雄藍(lán)姆斯貓出現(xiàn),嚇走了打架的狗結(jié)束。可麻煩的是,任憑認(rèn)真的蒙克斯費(fèi)盡心機(jī),所有的貓不是搞錯了臺詞,站錯了地方,就是錯過了正確時機(jī)。于是這一場成了《貓》里的滑稽 劇,很多最逗笑的情景都是來自這一場。
這首歌的節(jié)奏十分快,歌詞好像繞口令一樣。蒙克斯想保證歌聲嘹亮而 且吐字清晰,就要看演員的功力了。
歌詞:
Munkustrap: Of the awful battle of the pekes and the pollicles Together with some account Of the participation of the pugs and the poms And the intervention of the all great Rumpus Cat!!
The pekes and the pollicles everyone knows Are a proud and implacable passionate foes It is always the same where ever one goes And the Pugs and the Poms although most people say That they did not like fighting will once in a way Show every symptom of wanting to join in the fray And they
All: Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park
Now on the occassion of which I shall speak Almost nothing had happened for nearly a week And that's long time for a Pol or a Peke The big police dog was away from his beat I don't know the reason but some people think He slipped into the *Wellington's Arms for a drink And no one at all was about on the street When a Peke and a Pollicle happened to meet They did not advance or exactly retreat But they glared at each other and scraped their hind feet And they started to
All: Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park Now the Peke although people may say what they please Is no british dog but Heathen Chinese And so all the Pekes when they heard the uproar Some came to the window, some came to the door And together they started to grumble and wheeze In their huffery-snuffery Heathen Chinese But a terrible din is what Pollicles like For your Pollicle dog is a dour Yorkshire tyke
Male Cats: There are dogs out of every nation the Irish, the Welsh and the Dane: The Russian, the Dutch, the Dalmatian, and even from China and Spain.The Poodle, the Pom, the Alsatian And the Mastiff who walks on a chain.Munkustrap: And to those that are frisky and frolical, Let my meaning be perfectly plain:
Male Cats: That my name it is little Tom Pollicle, and you'd better not do it again!”
Munkustrap: And his braw Scottish cousins are snappers and biters And every dog-jack of them notable fighters And so they stepped out with their pipers in order Playing “When the Blue Bonnets Come Over The Border” And the Pugs and the Poms held no longer aloof But some from the balcony some from the roof Joined into the din with a
All: Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark
Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park

Munkustrap: Until you could hear them all over the park
All: BARK BARK BARK BARK
Munkustrap: NO?。?Silence)When these bold hereos together assembled The traffic all stopped And the Underground trembled And some of the neightbors were so much afraid That they started to ring up the Fire Brigade When suddenly up from a small basement flat Why who should stalk out but the Great Rumpus Cat?。is eyes were like fireballs fearfully blazing He gave a great yawn and his jaws were amazing And when he looked out through the bars of the area You never saw anything fiercer.......Or hairier And what with a glare of his eyes and his yawning The Pekes and the Pollicles quickly took warning He looked to the sky and he gave a great leap And every last one of them scattered like sheep!And when the Police dog returned to his beat There wasn't a single one left on the street!
All: All hail and all bow to the Great Rumpus Cat??!
12.潔里珂之歌
THE SONG OF JELLICLES
演唱:眾貓 舞蹈:眾貓
劇情:
忽然惡貓麥克再次出現(xiàn),所有的貓兒 紛紛躲在角落里。蒙克斯保護(hù)在老德 特前面,警惕地留在場中心。幸好麥 克只是在場邊現(xiàn)一下身就消失了。幾只小貓在老德特 的安撫下開始重新 歌唱,由此帶動了 所有的貓兒再度集 合表演的舞會。
歌曲重復(fù)了“潔利珂舞會的 邀請”的一段。這一場舞蹈 則包括了維多利亞和其他幾 只公貓(迷斯特,阿藍(lán)奧茲,和沒有上“火車上的貓” 妝的斯格姆)的雙人舞。可 以想見,舞會已達(dá)到高潮。
歌詞:
Demeter:
Old Deuteronomy: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one, come all The Jellicle Moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
Solo: Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats are rather small Jellicle cats are merry and bright And pleasant to hear when we caterwaul
Jellicle cats have cheerful faces Jellicle cats have bright black eyes We like to practice our airs and graces And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise
Jellicle cats develop slowly Jellicle cats are not too big Jellicle cats are roly poly We know how to dance a gavotte and a jig Until the Jellicle Moon appears We make our toilette and take our repose Jellicles wash behind their ears Jellicles dry between their toes
Jellicle cats are white and black Jellicle cats are of moderate size Jellicles jump like a jumping jack Jellicle cats have moonlit eyes
We're quiet enough in the morning hours We're quiet enough in the afternoon Reserving our terpsichorean powers To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon
Jellicle cats are black and white Jellicle cats(as we said)are small If it happens to be a stormy night We will pracitce a caper or two in the hall If it happens the sun is shining bright You would say we had nothing to do at all We are resting and saving ourselves to be right For the Jellicle Moon and the Jellicle Ball
All: Jellicle cats come out tonight Jellicle cats come one, come all The Jellicle Moon is shining bright Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball
13.格瑞澤貝拉
GRIZABELLA
演唱:格瑞澤
劇情:
格瑞澤第二次上場,所有的貓依然拒絕接 納她,格瑞澤被孤伶伶地留在舞臺中心。
格瑞澤努力地想重現(xiàn)當(dāng)年的美麗時光,但是她已經(jīng)年老體弱,永遠(yuǎn)不 能再像從前那樣輕盈的舞蹈了。這時,她唱出了《貓》劇的名曲“記 憶”。老德特在舞臺的背景里,聽了她的歌聲似乎很有感觸??墒歉?瑞澤沒能看到他伸出的手,老德特哀傷地看著她黯然下場。第一幕結(jié)束。
歌詞:
Jellylorum: You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand Jemima: And you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin
Grizabella: Midnight.Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan
Every street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the streetlamp gutters And soon it will be morning
Memory.All alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again
14.快樂時光
THE MOMENT OF HAPPINESS
演唱:老德特,吉米瑪
劇情:
年老體弱的閣斯,被詹麗攙扶著來到舞 臺上,其他的貓紛紛起身給他最好的座 位。
老德特提醒所有的貓兒,快樂的本意不光是在現(xiàn)在,還有值得懷念的過去時 光。
小貓吉美瑪用清脆的歌聲 唱出格瑞澤的“記憶”的 旋律,她稚嫩的童音,道 出了《貓》劇的內(nèi)涵“讓 回憶牽引你,展開心扉,如果你在那里發(fā)現(xiàn)了快樂 的意義,一個新的生命就 會在你面前展開?!?/p>
貓兒們聽了這些話,似乎有所觸動。
歌詞:
Old Deuteronomy: The moments of happiness We had the experience but missed the meaning And approach to the meaning restores the experience In a different form beyond any meaning we can assign to happiness The past experience revived in the meaning Is not the experience of one life only But of many generations Not forgetting something that is probably quite ineffable
Jemima: Moonlight.Turn your face to the moonlight Let your memory lead you Open up enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin
15.格斯:劇院的貓
GUS: THE THEATRE CAT
演唱:詹麗,格斯
劇情:
格斯一直由詹麗照顧,因此也由 詹麗向大家介紹他這只戲院里的 貓。
別看現(xiàn)在的格斯又老又瘦,而且因 為生病爪子也止不住的顫抖。可是 格斯在年輕的時候,可是戲院里鼎 鼎大名的演員。他曾經(jīng)扮演過數(shù)不 勝數(shù)的優(yōu)秀角色,甚至有一次謝幕 七次之多。老格斯也自豪地訴說當(dāng) 年他精湛的演技,而且還有更重要 的,現(xiàn)在的小貓們所沒有的,認(rèn)真 踏實的態(tài)度。
“現(xiàn)在的小貓們,可不 像我們當(dāng)年受過那么嚴(yán) 格的訓(xùn)練。他們只會耍 些小聰明,還以為蹦蹦 跳跳就能當(dāng)好演員?!?“這些現(xiàn)代戲么,也都 不錯,可是,不能和我 們當(dāng)年相比?!?/p>
--格斯要是會說中文,一定就會說出“真是 一代不如一代”的話啦。
老格斯回憶著自己當(dāng)年演過的角色,他明白那 些輝煌時光再不回來,十分哀傷。
歌詞:
Jellylorum: Gus is the cat at the theatre door His name as I ought to have told you before Is really Asparagus, and that's such a fuss to pronounce That we usually call him just Gus His coat's very shabby, he's thin as a rake And he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake Yet he was in his youth quite the smartest of cats But no longer a terror to mice or to rats
For he isn't the cat that he was in his prime Though his name was quite famous, he says, in his time And whenever he joins his friends at their club(Which takes place at the back of the neighboring pub)He loves to regale them, if someone else pays With anecdotes drawn from his palmiest days For he once was a star of the highest degree He has acted with Irving, he's acted with Tree And he likes to relate his success on the halls Where the gallery once gave him seven cat calls But his greatest creation as he loves to tell Is Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
Gus: I have played in my time every possible part And I used to know seventy speeches by heart I'd extemporize backchat, I knew how to gag And I knew how to let the cat out of the bag I knew how to act with my back and my tail With an hour of rehearsal, I never could fail I'd a voice that would soften the hardest of hearts Whether I took the lead, or in character parts I have sat by the bedside of poor little Nell When the curfew was rung then I swung on the bell In the pantomime season I never fell flat And I once understudied Dick Whittington's cat But my greatest creation, as history will tell Was Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
Jellylorum: Then, if someone will give him a toothful of gin He will tell how he once played a part in East Lynne At a Shakespeare performance he once walked on pat When some actor suggested the need for a cat
Gus: And I say now these kittens, they do not get trained As we did in the days when Victoria reigned They never get drilled in a regular troupe And they think they are smart just to jump through a hoop
Jellylorum: And he says as he scratches himself with his claws Well the theatre is certainly not what it was These modern productions are all very well But there's nothing to equal, from what I hear tell That moment of mystery when I made history As Firefrorefiddle, the Fiend of the Fell
Gus: I once crossed the stage on a telephone wire To rescue a child when a house was on fire And I think that I still can much better than most Produce blood curdling noises to bring on the ghost And I once played Growltiger Could do it again, could do it again Could do it again
16.格若泰格的最后一戰(zhàn)
GROWLTIGER’S LAST STAND
演唱:格斯(格若泰格)及眾貓 舞蹈:格斯(格若泰格)及眾貓
劇情:
這一首歌的場面很大,是《貓》全劇唯一的一次場景改換(由破爛堆轉(zhuǎn)為 蕩漾碧波中的船只和小島)。這其實是老演員格斯一段關(guān)于當(dāng)年演出的回 憶。很可惜這首歌,及后面的比利·麥庫爾的敘事詩都沒有被《貓》的錄 象帶收錄。
格若泰格的最后一戰(zhàn),講的是海盜格若
泰格,在海上危害四方,罪大惡極。
可是一天他見到美麗的母貓格瑞德波,受其迷惑,竟沒能看到貓群的追殺,終
于在最后一戰(zhàn)之中落水而亡。
在這一段里,格斯扮演格若泰格。(據(jù)說在舞臺上,格斯在唱完“格斯: 劇院的貓”之后,突然揮去身上殘舊破爛的老皮,搖身變成英武雄壯的大 海盜格若泰格。)詹麗身著白衣扮演格瑞德波。其他幾只公貓(通常是蒙 克斯,斯格姆,塔閣,迷斯特和阿蘭茲奧)先是扮演被格若泰格襲擊的商 船船員,后來扮演沖上來殺害格若泰格的一群貍貓。
雖然聽來也許像是個壞人罪有應(yīng)得的故事,可是由于格若泰格與格瑞德波 對唱情歌真摯動人,而后在格若泰格被人圍功的時候格瑞德波卻偷偷溜掉,格若泰格反而變成了讓人憐憫的悲劇英雄。
17.比利·麥庫爾的敘事詩
THE BALLAD OF BILLY M’CAW
演唱:格斯(格若泰格)及眾貓
舞蹈:格斯(格若泰格)及眾貓
劇情:
這首歌和前一首歌加在一起有兩種唱法。一種是只唱前一首,但是篇幅 很長;一種是兩首都唱,但篇幅都有刪節(jié)。因此下面的歌詞,事實上是 兩首放在一起的。
18.斯格寶杉克斯:火車上的貓
SKIMBLESHANKS:THE RAILWAY CAT
演唱:斯格姆
舞蹈:斯格姆及眾貓
劇情:
火車上的貓斯格姆即使與 老德特沒有血緣關(guān)系,他 也無疑被貓兒們看作最可 愛的叔叔。他的到來,使 場上充滿了快樂的氣氛,所有的貓兒為他唱歌伴舞,和諧歡快的場面只有詹 妮的歌“老甘比貓”可以 媲美。
斯格寶是一只在火車上舉足輕重 的貓。如果沒有他細(xì)心周密的監(jiān) 督,整個火車就無法順利運(yùn)行。斯格寶照顧著旅客、行李、車廂,甚至連車上的工人和列車長也 得聽他調(diào)度。在半夜里他也不會 閑下來,而是在火車上下巡邏視 察,因為有責(zé)任心的斯格寶從不 讓事情出一點差錯。
貓群里的大貓小貓對勞苦功高的斯格寶 十分尊敬。他們用雨傘,埽笊,自行車 輪和探照燈為斯格寶裝配了一輛火車,在這首歌結(jié)束的時候,大家把他像英雄 一樣高舉起來。
這一段的舞蹈雖然不多,但是場上的活 動紛繁多樣,帶了一點兒童劇式的靈活 多變的色彩。而且這首歌的節(jié)奏十分明 快,曲調(diào)流暢,是劇中較有名的曲目之 一。
歌詞:
All: Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train
There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine When the night mail's ready to depart Saying, “Skimble, where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble We must find him or the train can't start”
Skimbleshanks: All the guards and all the porters and the station master's daughters Would be searching high and low Saying “Skimble where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble Then the night mail just can't go.At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue And the passengers all frantic to a man That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear I'd been busy in the luggage van!Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes And the signal went all clear& They'd be off at last for the northern part of the northern hemisphere!
All: Skimbleshanks, the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train Skimbleshanks: You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge Of the Sleeping Car Express From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards I would supervise them all more or less Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces Of the travellers in the first and the third He established control by a regular patrol and he'd know at once if anything occurred.And he'd watch you without winking and he saw what you were thinking And it's certain that he didn't approve Of hilarity and riot so that folks were very quiet When Skimble was about and on the move You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks He's a cat that couldn't be ignored So nothing went wrong on the Northern Mail When Skimbleshanks was aboard
It was very pleasant when they'd found their little den With their name written up on the door And the berth was very neat with a newly folded sheet And not a speck of dust upon the floor There was every sort of light you could make it dark or bright And a button you could turn to make a breeze And a funny little basin you're supposed to wash your face in And a crank to shut the window should you sneeze Then the guard looked in politely and would ask you very brightly Would you like your morning tea weak or strong? But I was right behind him and was ready to remind him For Skimble won't let anything go wrong
All: When they crept into their cosy berth and pulled up the counterpane They all could reflect that it was very nice To know that they wouldn't be bothered by mice They can leave all that to the railway cat The cat of the railway train Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat the cat of the railway train
Skimbleshanks: In the watches of the night I was always fresh and bright Every now and then I'd have a cup of tea With perhaps a drop of scotch while I was keeping on the watch Only stopping here and there to catch a flea They were fast asleep at Crewe And so they never knew that I was walking up and down the station They were sleeping all the while I was busy at Carlisle Where I met the station master with elation
They might see me at Dumfries if I summoned the police If there was anything they ought to know about When they got to Gallowgate there they did not have to wait For Skimbleshanks would help them to get out
All: And he gives a wave of his long brown tail Which says ”I'll see you again“ You will meet without fail on the midnight mail The Cat of the Railway Train
You will meet without fail on the midnight mail The Cat of the Railway Train
19.麥克維題:神秘的貓
MACAVITY:THE MYSTERY CAT
演唱:蒂米特,邦姆博
舞蹈:蒂米特,邦姆博
劇情:
這一段的風(fēng)格急轉(zhuǎn),由無憂無慮 的旋律直落成神秘陰暗,流利婉 轉(zhuǎn)的爵士樂。許多故事的關(guān)鍵情 節(jié)也都發(fā)生在這一首歌里。斯格寶的歌被麥克的到來打斷。這一次,麥克不再隱藏在幕后冷 笑,而是直接闖到場上,帶領(lǐng)他 的老鼠爪牙截走了老德特。
全場的貓兒都被這突然的變化驚呆了。在蒙 克斯帶領(lǐng)其他貓追趕麥克的時候,兩只曾經(jīng) 與麥克相識的母貓,蒂米特和邦姆博,向躲 在角落里的小貓們講述麥克這一只神秘的罪 犯貓。
麥克人稱“隱藏的魔爪”,因為他雖然罪大惡極,可是 從沒有人抓住過他犯罪的證 據(jù)。他看起來總是半睡半醒,無所事事的樣子,其實那 只是他在深思熟慮時的偽裝。無論他做了什么壞事,比如 偷人家的牛奶,打碎暖房的 玻璃,麥克總能抓出一兩個 證人證明他不在案發(fā)現(xiàn)場。因此就連蘇格蘭場也沒有他 的犯罪案底。
麥克自在地蕭遙于法外,在 幕后操縱著無數(shù)惡行。蒂米 特和邦姆博憤怒的稱他為“ 犯罪界的拿破倫”。
這一段里,兩只母貓載歌載 舞,歌聲亮麗渾厚,舞蹈柔 韌夭嬈,是本劇的經(jīng)典曲目。
蒙克斯和其他的貓兒沒有找到老德特,失望的回來,不想幾只老鼠忽然帶著老 德特出現(xiàn)。他們解開老德特讓他回到貓群之中。在所有的貓興奮地?fù)肀Ю系绿?的時候,蒂米特卻連連退縮。只有她看出場上的老德特不是老德特本人。最后,她終于沖上前去揭開老德特的灰皮,原來皮的下藏著的是大犯罪者麥克!
麥克被揭露了面目,放肆地 伸出利爪,在貓群里四下抓 咬,猖狂到極點??墒窃谒?又一次抓住蒂米特,想要截 持她的時候,蒙克斯和阿蘭 茲奧沖上去救下了蒂米特。
然后,蒙克斯和麥克展開一場血淋 淋的大戰(zhàn)。最后蒙克斯雖然失敗,但是被激怒的貓群勇敢地站起來,團(tuán)團(tuán)圍攻麥克。麥克敵不過這么多 貓,在受傷之后他抓過場邊裸露的 電線,使電線造成短路,全場陷入 一片黑暗。麥克也稱著黑暗逃跑了。
暗中,受傷的貓兒互相安慰。
歌詞:
Demeter: Macavity!
Macavity's a mystery cat: He's called the Hidden Paw For he's a master criminal who can defy the law He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!
Bombalutina: Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and thin You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in His brow is deeply lined in thought, his head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He is a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
Demeter, Bombalutina: He's outwardly respectable, I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's And when the larder's looted or the jewel cases rifled Or when the milk is missing or another Peke's been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing Macavity's not there!
and they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known I might mention Mungojerrie, I might mention Griddlebone Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations: The Napoleon of Crime!
Demeter, Bombalutina: Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity, Macavity Macavity, Macavity When a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
All: We have to find Old Deuteronomy
20.迷斯特弗里斯先生
MR。MISTOFFELEES
演唱:塔閣,迷斯特(百老匯版);塔閣
舞蹈:迷斯特
劇情:
貓群在黑暗中惶恐不安,他們急需 要找回老德特,卻又不知道該如何 找起。這時候,塔閣從躲避的地方(他大概是唯一沒有參戰(zhàn)的成年貓)走出來,向大家介紹了一只年輕 的貓:迷斯特弗里斯先生(迷斯特)。
迷斯特是一只有魔力的貓,要說他的魔幻法術(shù),就連 人類的魔術(shù)師也甘拜下風(fēng)。他看起來小巧靈活,年輕 而且有些害羞,可是他的能力不能讓人小看。他能穿 過最小的縫隙,也曾在帽子里變出七只小貓,他能使 人在空間里跳躍,大家明明在屋里剛看見他,轉(zhuǎn)眼他 卻在房頂上出現(xiàn)。
迷斯特在塔閣的歌聲中從天而降。他用魔力引亮了場 上的燈,使破爛堆又現(xiàn)光明。
然后,他選卡珊德拉做助手,用一快紅綢變 回了老德特。
所有的貓一起為老德特的歸來和迷斯特的魔 力歡呼。小迷斯特自己也因為有機(jī)會為貓群 做大事而高興得連蹦帶跳。
這一首歌,在一些版本里是塔閣獨(dú)唱,但也有一些版本里是塔閣和迷斯特合唱。但是 舞蹈只有劇團(tuán)里最優(yōu)秀的舞者--迷斯特獨(dú)自承擔(dān)。這首歌的曲調(diào)動聽,重復(fù)的地方多,因而會給人留下很深的印象。
歌詞:
Rum Tum Tugger: You ought to ask Mr.Mistoffelees!The original Conjuring Cat The greatest magicians have something to learn From Mr.Mistoffelees conjuring turn
And you'll all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
He is quiet, he is small, he is black From the ears to the tip of his tail He can creep through the tiniest crack He can walk on the narrowest rail He can pick any card from a pack He is equally cunning with dice He is always decieving you into believing That he's only hunting for mice
He can play any trick with a cork Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste If you look for a knife or a fork And you think it was merely misplaced You have seen it one moment and then it is gone!But you find it next week laying out on the lawn
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
All: And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
Mistoffelees/Rum Tum Tugger: Well!My manner is vague and aloof You would think there was nobody shyer But my voice has been heard on the roof When I was curled up by the fire And I've sometimes been heard by the fire When I was about on the roof At least they all heard that somebody purred Which is uncontestable proof of my singular magical powers And I've known the family to call me in from the garden for hours When I was asleep in the hall
Rum Tum Tugger: And not long ago this phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens right out of a hat
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
And not long ago this phenomenal cat Produced seven kittens right out of a hat
And we all say Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
Oh!Well I never was there ever A cat so clever as magical Mr.Mistoffelees
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the magical Mr.Mistoffelees!

歌詞:
Jemima: Daylight, see the dew on the sunflower And a rose that is fading Roses whither away Like the sunflower I yearn to turn my face to the dawn I am waiting for the day
Munkustrap: Now Old Deuteronomy just before dawn Through a silence you feel you could cut with a knife Announces the cat who can now be reborn And come back to a different Jellicle Life
Grizabella:
Memory, turn your face to the moonlight Let your memory lead you Open up, enter in If you find there the meaning of what happiness is Then a new life will begin
Memory, all alone in the moonlight I can smile at the old days I was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again
Burnt out ends of smokey days The stale cold smell of morning The streetlamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I musn't give in When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin
Sunlight, through the trees in summer Endless masquerading Like a flower as the dawn is breaking The memory is fading
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun

23.對貓兒的態(tài)度
THE ADDRESSING OF CATS
演唱:老德特
劇情:
全劇的最后的一首歌是老德特唱給場外聽眾的。他告訴大家,其實貓和 人類沒什么不同。經(jīng)過了這一晚精彩的演出,人類也看到了各種各樣的 貓兒,也知道了他們的特點和喜好。所以,要是你想得到貓兒的尊敬,就要首先尊重他們。
歌詞:
Old Deuteronomy:
You've heard of several kinds of cat And my opinion now is that You should need no interpreter to understand our character You've learned enough to take the view That cats are very much like you You've seen us both at work and play And learnt about our proper names Our habits and our habitat But how would you ad-dress a cat
So first, your memory I'll jog And say: A cat is not a dog So first, your memory I'll jog And say: A cat is not a dog
With cats, some say one rule is true Don't speak til you are spoken to Myself I do not hold with that I say you should ad-dress a cat But always bear in mind that he resents familiarity You bow, and taking off your hat, ad-dress him in this form: ”O(jiān) cat"!
Before a cat will condescend To treat you as a trusted friend Some little token of esteem is needed, like a dish of cream And you might now and then supply Some caviar or strassburg pie Some potted grouse or salmon paste He's sure to have his personal taste
And so in time you reach your aim And call him by his name
All: A cat's entitled to expect These evidences of respect So this is this and that is that And there's how you ad-dress a cat
A cat's entitled to expect these evidences of respect So this is this, and that is that And there's how you ad-dress a cat

一個學(xué)期的歌劇欣賞課結(jié)束了,我們欣賞了非常多的中外歌劇,對我們音樂知識的豐富和音樂欣賞以及各方面的能力都有了很大提高和幫助。其中,音樂劇 《貓》是我最喜愛一部作品。
音樂劇是以戲劇為基石,以音樂為靈魂,以舞蹈為重要表現(xiàn)形式,將舞臺美術(shù)融為一體的綜合性舞臺表演藝術(shù),它是音樂、舞蹈和表演的大綜合,而《貓》則是音樂劇中最具代表性的作品,是有史以來最著名的,演出時間最長的音樂劇,也是當(dāng)今世界最成功的音樂劇。
音樂劇《貓》是韋伯根據(jù)英國著名詩人托馬斯·斯特爾斯·艾略特的兒童詩集《擅長裝扮的老貓經(jīng)》改編而成的,最初這部音樂劇是不被看好的,最后在韋伯的堅持努力下成為了世界巨著,取得了輝煌的成績。
《貓》描述的是:杰里科貓族要舉行一年一度的盛大聚會,這個聚會的目的是在所有貓中挑選一只貓升天,大家都知道貓有九條命,但是被選中升天以后可以再次獲得新生。于是,各種各樣,形形色色的貓陸續(xù)登場,盡情表現(xiàn),全力展示自己,用歌聲和舞蹈來講述自己的故事,希望能夠被選中得以升天。最后,由魅力貓,也就是曾經(jīng)美麗高貴,光彩照人,現(xiàn)如今卻丑陋落魄,無比邋遢的一只貓所獲得,她以一曲感人動聽的《回憶》打動了所有在場的貓,最后成為可以升入天堂的貓。
這是一部時長較長的作品,看完整部音樂劇,給我的第一感受就是好看,還想再看一遍,絢麗的舞臺,優(yōu)美的舞步,美妙的歌聲,形象的妝容,高超的演技,各種好匯聚一起,演員表演的很到位,他們經(jīng)常匍伏在地,很符合貓的特征,特別是扮演母貓的女演員,天然一股風(fēng)流,媚不可擋。公貓則陽剛與自得。他們似乎人人都把自己當(dāng)作貓了,表情各異,但都有貓的慵懶,眼睛不大睜得開,一睜開又精光四射,嚇人一跳。動作也輕捷,配合小心謹(jǐn)慎的一副貓容,形象生動,非常逼真??赐甏蠹視黄鸶锌h論:“這些演員怎么會這么優(yōu)秀,身材好,舞跳的好,邊跳邊唱也唱的這么好,不喘氣,又演的好,妝也化的好,一個個化的真像活生生的貓,這樣的全能型演員不容易啊?!蔽覀兪羌攘w慕又佩服。
其實整部作品我最喜歡的,讓我印象最深刻的就是魅力貓演唱的《回憶》,這首旋律應(yīng)該是所有認(rèn)識它的人都愛的一個作品,由魅力貓演唱更是符合她當(dāng)時的情況,達(dá)到扣人心弦,感人至深的效果。魅力貓年輕時是貓族里最漂亮的一只貓,她厭倦了貓族的生活,為了追求新鮮刺激去外面的世界追尋夢想,可惜情況不如人意,生活坎坷,青春也隨著時間逝去,當(dāng)她大失所望回到貓族之后,魅力貓已變成一只邋遢落寂、丑陋難看的老貓了,對于魅力貓來說,失去了以往的光環(huán),落得現(xiàn)在這樣落魄的下場更是需要大家的關(guān)懷和同情,她需要溫暖,可是大家看她樣子如此落魄丑陋,都不愿意接近她,害怕她,甚至嘲笑她,對她充滿了敵視??蓱z的她不斷地徘徊于貓群的周圍,幾次請求貓群的原諒,最后發(fā)自肺腑地唱出《回憶》后而感動了所有的貓,贏得大家的同情,讓大家都加納了她。
該曲以憂傷的情調(diào)和動人心弦的旋律,表現(xiàn)了魅力貓回憶它離開杰里科貓族外出闖蕩,經(jīng)歷了各種艱難遭遇和人生痛苦,昔日美好時光的流逝,青春不再,夕陽黃昏,對家鄉(xiāng)和親人的眷眷思念與渴望,都在歌中得到淋漓盡致的宣泄。
她在演唱時沒有任何的舞蹈動作,也沒有人為她伴舞,只是他一個人靜靜的唱完整段旋律,整首歌曲就是她的真實寫照,回憶過去的美好,與現(xiàn)實的凄涼形成鮮明的對比,突出她的悲傷并期待擁有幸福,非常安靜祥和,令人感動。自《貓》誕生以來,《回憶》這首歌就開始傳播四海,那如泣如訴的旋律,一下就能抓住人們的心。演唱《回憶》的時候都是演員最深情、觀眾最感動的時刻,這也使得該劇更具有生命的意味和充滿哲理的想象。我認(rèn)為這部音樂劇的成功也體現(xiàn)在歌曲《回憶》上。
其中舞蹈部分也是一大亮點,我認(rèn)為也是成功的原因之一。《貓》中的舞蹈基本上以芭蕾為主,根據(jù)不同情境,不同場面,表現(xiàn)貓的不同性格特征的需要編排不同的舞姿,這里既有輕松活潑的踢踏舞,又有凝重華麗的芭蕾舞,還有充滿動感的爵士舞和現(xiàn)代舞,使全劇風(fēng)格奔放,活力四射。通過優(yōu)美的舞姿、高難度的動作,給觀眾展示一場視覺盛宴,讓人流連忘返。
通過整部音樂劇的欣賞,我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn),音樂劇《貓》是將豐富的音樂創(chuàng)作手法、新穎的舞蹈表演和大膽的舞美設(shè)計完美地結(jié)合在一起,作品中融入的大量的現(xiàn)代因素和各種藝術(shù)的混合手法,現(xiàn)代的、古典的、流行的等多種元素共同使用;聲樂演唱上:美聲、通俗、搖滾同臺展現(xiàn);旋律風(fēng)格也是多元化的。有合唱,說唱,搖滾,爵士等形式多樣化,各類藝術(shù)同臺展現(xiàn),豐富多彩。
音樂劇《貓》創(chuàng)造了音樂劇史上的奇跡,這是一部世界巨作,同時也給中國音樂劇的創(chuàng)作和發(fā)展帶來啟示,我們期盼著中國也有像音樂劇《貓》一樣的撼世之作誕生。

【教學(xué)課時】
一課時
【教學(xué)過程】
一、提問式導(dǎo)入
師: 下面播放兩劇目片段,請同學(xué)們判斷播放的片段是屬舞?。扛鑴。渴且魳穭??(學(xué)生舉手回答)
媒體播放《白毛女》片段 《如果·愛》片段
當(dāng)學(xué)生說出歌劇的答案時,教師馬上提出:你能說出判斷為音樂劇的理由嗎?(學(xué)生回答問題)
師: 音樂劇是綜合性的審美舞臺消費(fèi)藝術(shù).今天讓我們一起步入這音樂劇的圣堂......(在這個環(huán)節(jié)里,主要是想通過作品的片斷欣賞,吸引學(xué)生的注意力,激發(fā)他們學(xué)習(xí)音樂劇的興趣)
二、音樂劇的基本知識
媒體播放音樂劇《貓》片段,看完音樂劇片段之后,回答這些問題:
1.什么是音樂劇?
2.音樂劇起源的時間和國家?
(師生互動,對學(xué)生的回答進(jìn)行引導(dǎo),共同欣賞《貓》等圖片。)
看完音樂劇片段之后,回答這些問題:
問題1: 融合了各個藝術(shù)門類的特點,將音樂、舞蹈、話劇道白的特殊魅力緊密結(jié)合起來塑造人物形象,表達(dá)人物感情,從而表現(xiàn)一個完整的故事情節(jié)。
問題2:音樂劇誕生于上個世紀(jì)初的歐美大陸,其中,音樂源于地道的美國黑人的爵士音樂,舞蹈綜合了爵士舞和踢踏舞。1927年,隆·科恩的《水上舞臺》掀開了音樂劇時代到來,其中的插曲《老人河》在當(dāng)時家喻戶曉,流傳全球。
課件展示:音樂劇四大名劇《貓》、《歌劇魅影》、《悲慘世界》、《西貢小姐》,及其他們的海報和劇照。
(學(xué)生通過觀看音樂劇大部分能說出構(gòu)成音樂劇的三大要素。這里設(shè)計的目的是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的觀察能力和概括能力)
三、欣賞音樂劇《貓》
1.作者簡介:
安德魯·洛依德·韋伯(Andrew Lloyd Webber)英國著名音樂劇作曲家。1948年3月22日出生于英國倫敦一個皇家音樂學(xué)院的教授和鋼琴教師之家,就讀于馬格德林學(xué)院。韋伯經(jīng)典音樂?。骸敦垺?、《艾薇塔》、《歌劇魅影》、《巨星耶穌基督》
師:《貓》是當(dāng)今世界音樂劇中最成功的作品.為何音樂劇《貓》如此震憾人心,所向披靡呢,今天就讓我們一走進(jìn)百老匯,領(lǐng)略貓的魅力。
2.劇情介紹(戲劇元素)
《貓》的故事很簡單:杰里科貓族每年都要舉行一次聚會,眾貓們會在這一年一度的盛大聚會上挑選一只貓升天,我們知道貓有九條命,升天以后可以再次獲得新生。于是,形形色色的貓紛紛登場,盡情表現(xiàn),用歌聲和舞蹈來講述自己的故事,希望能夠被選中。最后,當(dāng)年曾經(jīng)光彩照人今日卻無比邋遢的“魅力貓”以一曲《回憶》打動了所有在場的貓,成為可以升入天堂的貓。
(好的劇情能夠作用于人的情感,引起共鳴、激動、聯(lián)想、想像。通過介紹激發(fā)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的興奮點。故事是來源于生活,《貓》的世界就是一個濃縮的人類社會。《貓》的社會就是一個現(xiàn)代寓言。)
3.音樂《貓》中的舞蹈元素
播放《貓》中的舞蹈視頻。
(學(xué)生討論舞蹈在音樂劇中的作用)
《貓》中的舞蹈相當(dāng)突出。為了傳達(dá)劇情,編導(dǎo)們不惜用了大量的舞蹈場面來表現(xiàn)貓的不同特征和性格。這里既有輕松活潑的踢踏舞,又有凝重華麗的芭蕾舞,還有充滿動感的爵士舞和現(xiàn)代舞,使全劇風(fēng)格奔放,活力四射。
場景一:“介紹保姆貓”褓姆貓是貓中的保姆,她一般白天顯得很懶散,整天睡,但一到晚上,她便非常繁忙,因為她要訓(xùn)練老鼠織毛衣,還要為蟑螂失業(yè)的問題而擔(dān)憂,這不她帶著她的一支蟑螂童子軍來了??輕松活潑的踢踏舞體現(xiàn)了保姆貓風(fēng)趣幽默的性格特征。她非常具有親和力,她總是忙忙碌碌,為貓族做一些慈善公益性的事業(yè)。所以大家都非常喜歡她。
場景二:杰利克舞會,場面宏大、激情澎湃,搖滾貓帶領(lǐng)貓兒們所跳的現(xiàn)代舞,動感十足,也突出了的他狂野的個性。
(通過《貓》視頻展示,同學(xué)們對音樂劇中舞蹈的表現(xiàn)有更直觀的感受。與此同時對舞蹈表現(xiàn)的人物進(jìn)行介紹,舞蹈使人物具有可視的、生動感人的藝術(shù)形象。)
4.音樂劇《貓》中的音樂元素
與舞蹈一樣《貓》的音樂非常動人。全劇近三個小時,共由二十三首樂曲組成。除了配合不同舞蹈場面的舞曲之外,前后四次出現(xiàn)的主題曲《回憶》更是一首百聽不厭的金曲。它傳遍了全世界,成為當(dāng)代的經(jīng)典歌曲。
師: 同樣的旋律,演唱者的身份發(fā)生的變化、調(diào)式調(diào)性的轉(zhuǎn)換,力度的對比給我們帶來了不同的感受?
(欣賞過后,學(xué)生討論回答問題,表述自己欣賞后的感受。)
播放《回憶》兩個視頻
回憶(1)這首歌曲感覺唱完了嗎?歌聲表達(dá)的是他什么樣的心情?(有意猶未盡之感,音樂表達(dá)了孤獨(dú)、無助、凄涼的情緒。)
你想一個人在她最有魅力、最輝煌的時候,背叛了自己親人,而當(dāng)她年老色衰,以這樣一副丑陋的外貌再次回到家族中,這兩者之間反差有多大。尤其是在大家沉浸歡聚的興奮中,她的突然出現(xiàn),打破了當(dāng)時暖融融的氛圍,貓兒們會以怎樣的態(tài)度來對待她,我們的女主人公內(nèi)心肯定非常復(fù)雜,孤獨(dú)、無助與凄涼。
領(lǐng)袖貓同情地向她伸出手,但她沒有看見,暗然地離開了。
回憶(2)領(lǐng)袖貓告訴貓兒們,幸福的含義不僅僅是現(xiàn)在,也包括過去那些不能遺忘的事情,月光下,杰里可貓族中最年幼的小貓杰米瑪唱起了《回憶》,貓兒們都流露出感動的表情,悲天憫人,寬大為懷。(音樂情緒是和睦、溫馨、幸福的。)由其最后全體貓兒們起立的一剎那,表達(dá)了貓兒們對幸福生活的向往,對美好未來的憧憬與企盼,盼望幸福的降臨。
(歌曲:《Memory 回憶》)
(說明:《回憶》在劇中出現(xiàn)了四次,因演唱者不同或是演唱時的心境不同,使得每次聆聽的感受也是不同的。學(xué)生討論回答問題,表述自己欣賞后的感受。體會音樂在烘托人物形象上的作用。)
5.舞臺美術(shù)
據(jù)介紹,在百老匯的音樂劇中,絕大多數(shù)制作都是不惜投入巨資運(yùn)用聲、光、電等各種現(xiàn)代技術(shù)手段,創(chuàng)造出夢幻般的舞臺面貌,具有強(qiáng)烈的視聽沖擊力。
首先在《貓》劇中最突出的一點就是人物的化裝,全劇共有36只貓,為了表現(xiàn)貓的不同地位和性格特征,他們的化妝也是形態(tài)各異,五花八門,各具特色,形象逼真。
課件展示:其中一些貓化妝前后對比
舞臺效果,在前面的舞蹈和音樂片斷中已經(jīng)感覺到了舞臺效果在劇情的表達(dá)及人物的塑造中所起的作用,《通往九重天》這一段,舞臺效果更是達(dá)到了登峰造極的地步。純潔的白貓維多利亞首先對魅力貓表示同情,杰里可貓們終于原諒了她,接納她回到族中。領(lǐng)袖貓選擇魅力貓是今年獲得重生的貓,貓兒們歡送她登上了通往九重天之路!
播放《通往九重天》視頻
(觀看《通往就重天》片斷,學(xué)生深深的被導(dǎo)演創(chuàng)造出夢幻般的舞臺效果折服。小小的舞蹈居然能隱藏如此多的“秘密”。)
6.欣賞改編成電影的音樂劇
播放《音樂之聲》、《紅磨坊》視頻
(體會音樂劇之所以風(fēng)靡世界,是因為它以音樂來述說故事,滿足視聽上的享受,魅力四射的舞蹈,配合著眩目的舞臺效果。很容易得到大部分人的認(rèn)同和喜愛。)
四、課堂小結(jié)
以《貓》為代表的現(xiàn)代派音樂劇,與歌劇、舞劇比起來,它在音樂與舞蹈的創(chuàng)作中使用了大量的流行音樂的元素,并將觀賞性放在首位。使表演更加通俗化、大眾化、現(xiàn)代化。這大概就是音樂劇能在眾多舞臺藝術(shù)中異軍突起,廣受觀眾歡迎的一個主要原因。通過今天的介紹希望同學(xué)們喜歡音樂劇,為音樂劇而瘋狂。
四、評析
這節(jié)課主要內(nèi)容是欣賞音樂劇。采用的教學(xué)方法,有利于學(xué)生感受、體驗、理解、掌握音樂劇的特點。如:在教學(xué)中欣賞兩次《回憶》,引導(dǎo)學(xué)生體驗不同演唱者不同心情下,同樣的旋律和歌詞,所傳達(dá)出來的感受是不相同的。這就完全改變了傳統(tǒng)的以知識傳授、技能訓(xùn)練為主的教學(xué)模式。在這節(jié)課的開始部分,觀看《白毛女》芭蕾舞劇和《如果·愛》音樂劇的片斷,探討什么他們的區(qū)別,在課中也有大量的視頻片斷,這些輔助性的做法,其意義不僅在于增加學(xué)習(xí)的興趣,還在于加深學(xué)生對音樂劇的體驗和理解,并擴(kuò)展與音樂相關(guān)的文化知識。初中生生活閱歷不深,文化程度不高,對于一些作品無法理解。在本教案中選取大量地世界經(jīng)典作品進(jìn)行展示,使原來深奧的概念變得直觀形象。不同作品的欣賞也豐富學(xué)生的音樂知識,提高學(xué)生的審美情趣。
不足之處,應(yīng)該讓學(xué)生分組在課后查找資料進(jìn)行探究性學(xué)習(xí),從理性的角度進(jìn)一步了解音樂劇。接找讓學(xué)生模仿或創(chuàng)作表演《貓》,在排練和演出的過程中能夠獲得較為具體的情感體驗。把音樂劇的知識在運(yùn)用到自己的創(chuàng)作時間中。學(xué)生們可以在積極的創(chuàng)作中獲得了經(jīng)驗,提高了學(xué)習(xí)興趣,也展示和發(fā)展表演才能及創(chuàng)造才能。
二 簡答題、比較階段式、環(huán)節(jié)式、步驟式三個音樂教學(xué)過程設(shè)計,分析其各自有什么特點?
一、階段式的音樂教學(xué)過程設(shè)計
階段式的音樂教學(xué)過程設(shè)計,是將構(gòu)成音樂教學(xué)的各種因素,階段式的音樂教學(xué)過程設(shè)計,根據(jù)其不同特點劃分成若干個固定的段落,如起始階段、展開階段、結(jié)束階段等。起始階段的通過教師的導(dǎo)言和師生的展示,交流課前收集的音樂資料,創(chuàng)設(shè)一種與本課內(nèi)容相關(guān)的教學(xué)情境。常見的導(dǎo)入方式有談話式導(dǎo)入、圖片式導(dǎo)入、音樂式導(dǎo)入等多種。展開階段伴隨著教學(xué)過程的展開和深入,使學(xué)生不斷加深對作品的情感及不同音樂表現(xiàn)手段和表演形式的體驗與理解。結(jié)束階段則以教師談話的方式進(jìn)行小結(jié),并提出下節(jié)的預(yù)習(xí)內(nèi)容。
二、環(huán)節(jié)式音樂教學(xué)過程設(shè)計
環(huán)節(jié)式音樂教學(xué)過程設(shè)計是指把構(gòu)成音樂教學(xué)過程相互關(guān)聯(lián)的若干因素進(jìn)行并列式的組合,包括以內(nèi)容為環(huán)節(jié)和以方法為環(huán)節(jié)兩類。
(一)以內(nèi)容為環(huán)節(jié)的設(shè)計連接整個音樂教學(xué)過程的主線均是以內(nèi)容構(gòu)建的各個環(huán)節(jié)。
(二)以方法作為一節(jié)課的過程環(huán)節(jié),如“探索與交流”,“感受與體驗”,“表現(xiàn)與創(chuàng)造”,“歸納與總結(jié)”等。
三、步驟式音樂教學(xué)過程設(shè)計
這種音樂教學(xué)過程的設(shè)計是將構(gòu)成音樂教學(xué)的各種因素,采取步步深入的方法,進(jìn)行遞進(jìn)式的安排。
1、創(chuàng)設(shè)情境—情感的喚醒
2、欣賞體驗—情感的積累
3、演唱感受—情感的共鳴
4、實踐延伸—情感的升華
以“情感”作為音樂教學(xué)的主線來設(shè)計、展開和推進(jìn)教學(xué)。
