《庄稼》 作曲｜謝惠如 學生指揮｜呂承翰 場次｜六十一週年成果發表音樂會《島嶼印象》 演出地點｜嘉義大學嘉禾館 演出日期｜2026/5/30 庄稼為閩南語「鄉下」諧音「ㄓㄣㄎㄚ」（tsng-kha）。有一個在後龍大庄出生的鄉下女孩，小時候總想快快長大，這樣就可以離開家鄉到城市生活。才明白城市到農村之間的距離，有如童年跑跳的鄉野小路般蜿蜒。她藉由音樂寫出農村生活的印記，並以此曲獻給所有在尋找自己過程落葉歸根的人。 庄頭裡，有鳥兒群飛下的秧苗； 有夏夜田邊的晚風吹拂。 田間廟宇是農民與天地的對話， 也是對大自然的敬畏， 更是作田人日出而作日入而息的秘密基地。 他們在夕陽餘暉中， 度過美麗與哀愁的日子， 活出屬於「庄稼人」的果敢堅毅。 Source：新竹青年國樂團) ------- Nestled in the Dazhuang of Houlun, there was a countryside girl yearning to grow up quickly and longing to leave her hometown for city life. Only later did she realize that the distance between the city and the countryside is as winding as the country paths she used to run and jump on. Through her music, she captures the imprints of rural life, dedicating this work to all those who, in the process of self-searching, return to their roots like fallen leaves. In the country village, young seedlings grow under the flock of birds, and breezes gently caress the fields on summer nights. The temples in the fields are dialogues between farmers and the heavens, which also express a deep reverence for nature, and serve as the secret base where farmers toil from dawn till dusk. In the glow of the setting sun, they live through days of beauty and melancholy, embodying the resolute spirit of the country folks. (Source: LI Alex K)
