Of airs properly national, it should be remembered, the composers are not known. They are found existing among the people, who are ignorant of their origin. They are, to borrow a German phrase, folk-music. [Richard Grant White, "National Hymns," New York, 1861]
应该记住,真正的民族音乐的作曲家是不为人所知的。它们存在于民间,民众对它们的起源一无所知。用德语的说法,它们是民间音乐。[理查德·格兰特·怀特,《国歌》,纽约,1861]
The term National Music implies that music, which, appertaining to a nation or tribe, whose individual emotions and passions it expresses, exhibits certain peculiarities more or less characteristic, which distinguish it from the music of any other nation or tribe.*
* The Germans call it Volksmusik, a designation which is very appropriate, and which I should have rendered folk-music, had this word been admissible. [Carl Engel, "An Introduction to the Study of National Music," London, 1866]
国家音乐这个术语意味着属于一个民族或部落的音乐,它表达了个体的情感和激情,展示了某种或多或少具有特色的特点,使其与其他任何民族或部落的音乐有所区别。*
* 德国人称之为 Volksmusik,这个称号非常贴切,如果这个词是可接受的,我本应该翻译成民间音乐。[卡尔·恩格尔,《国家音乐研究导论》,伦敦,1866]
