非遺種子計劃 - 嘆歌工作坊
Seed for ICH - Fishermen Laments Workshops
「嘆歌」是香港水上居民傳承的歌謠，亦是生命禮儀中的基本元素。在傳統婚嫁儀式中，新娘與家人透過嘆歌互訴離情，並且唱出婚姻所帶來的社會責任與親屬 關係。在傳統喪葬儀式中，嘆唱者訴說親人離世之苦，更將喪葬儀式的場景及過程，以嘆唱的方式告訴死者。嘆歌旋律簡單，有相對固定的歌詞，但歌者可以配合現場環境，即興調整與創作。
本活動邀請到黎帶金女士作為導師，帶領一共五節工作坊，期望參加者在過程中瞭解嘆歌傳統，學習嘆唱技巧。

TIPS FOR APPRECIATION
There are different ways to listen to and appreciate music. One of those is by comparing different genres of arts, e.g. painting, architecture and literature, within the same period, in order to materialize this most abstract form of arts. Besides hearing, this allows us to see, and even touch the compositions and eventually learn about the underlying meaning.
