Má vlast(习惯上译成"My Country 我的祖国”, 尽管严格来说是"Homeland")是捷克作曲家斯美塔那（Bed?ich Smetana）在1874到1879之间创作的一部六个乐章的交响诗。 斯美塔那结合了李斯特先驱的交响诗曲式和十九世纪末期流行的民族音乐的理想。每一乐章描述都了波希米亚的乡村、历史及传说。 第二乐章Vltava: In Smetana's own words: "The composition describes the course of the Vltava, starting from the two small springs, the Cold and Warm Vltava, to the unification of both streams into a single current, the course of the Vltava through woods and meadows, through landscapes where a farmer's wedding is celebrated, the round dance of the mermaids in the night's moonshine: on the nearby rocks loom proud castles, palaces and ruins aloft. The Vltava swirls into the St John's Rapids; then it widens and flows toward Prague, past the Vy?ehrad, and then majestically vanishes into the distance, ending at the Labe (or Elbe, in German)." 第三乐章?árka: The third poem was finished on 20 February 1875 and is named for the female warrior ?árka, a central figure in the ancient Czech legend of the Maidens' War. ?árka ties herself to a tree as bait and waits to be saved by the princely knight Ctirad, deceiving him into believing that she is an unwilling captive of the rebelling women. Once released by Ctirad, who has quickly fallen in love with her, ?árka serves him and his comrades with drugged mead and once they have fallen asleep she sounds a hunting horn: an agreed signal to the other women. The poem ends with the warrior maidens falling upon and murdering the sleeping men. |
