Under A Violet Moon 概述
《Under A Violet Moon》（在紫罗兰色的月光下）是由英国吉他手Ritchie Blackmore和他的妻子Candice Night组成的夫妻乐队 Blackmore's Night创作的。其中的音乐受到New Age、World Music、Folk及中世纪文艺复兴色彩的音乐所影响，使用的乐器有吉他、键盘、小提琴、铃鼓、曼陀铃、手风琴以及一便士哨子等，如此丰富的音乐背景与音乐配器，再加上Blackmore的吉他功力与Night的优雅嗓音，共同构筑出如诗如梦的音乐诗篇。聆听的同时如同经历一次欧洲音乐巡回之旅。具有匈牙利民谣色彩的曲风，配上清脆的acoustic guitar与甜美的vocal，共筑出文艺复兴的艺术之美与欧洲丰富的人文气息。Blackmore将佛朗明哥式吉他表现地微妙为俏，使得热情洋溢的曲风更添几分色彩。在专辑中其它的歌曲中你还可以感受到英国、德国、波兰、意大利、法国、俄罗斯以及印度等多国民谣曲风。包罗万象的世界音乐、民谣与充满艺术性的文艺复兴曲风正是Blackmore’s Night献给所有乐迷的珍宝!
这首歌选自Blackmore's Night1999年发行的专辑《Under A Violet Moon》，这张专辑涵盖了欧洲多个国家的民谣曲风，如同一场绚烂多彩的欧洲音乐巡回之旅。Under A Violet Moon是一首匈牙利民谣曲风的歌曲，欢快的旋律，配上Blackmore清亮的吉他和Night醇美的歌声，有着浓郁的文艺复兴时期的复古之美与清新、淡雅的人文气息。 
Blackmore’s Night是一支夫妻档的中世纪民谣乐队，乐队的名字就是他们夫妻名字的组合。主唱Candice Night声音柔美，曾经担任Deep Purple、Rainbow等多支乐队许多歌曲的和声。乐队的吉他手是曾经的Deep Purple、Rainbow乐队的主音吉他手Ritchie Blackmore，因此在他们的专辑中可以听到非常出色的吉它Solo。 
Candice在1997年出任R.Blackmore《Shadow of the Moon》专辑的主唱，由此开始了Blackmore‘s Night致力于收集与创作世界各地优美旋律和音乐的历程。在这张专辑中，Ritchie用原声木吉他弹奏出动人心弦的旋律，同时运用了各种中世纪乐器----曼陀铃，键盘， 
锡哨，提琴，铃鼓，军鼓，手摇风琴，营造出一种浓厚的中世纪复古气息。每次聆听，都让我仿佛回到了中世纪远古魔幻、神奇的年代，每一个音符都带着神秘、安宁之美。

Legendary Deep Purple and Rainbow guitarist Ritchie Blackmore (b. April 14, 1945, Weston-super-Mare, England) shifted his musical focus away from hard rock in the late 1990s and started concentrating on his love of Renaissance-era music. He formed Blackmore's Night with his fiancee, vocalist/lyricist Candice Night (b. May 8, 1971, Hauppauge, Long Island, NY), and recruited other musicians from around the world to combine elements of world music, Renaissance, new age, folk, and rock & roll. Blackmore didn't exactly retire his Fender Stratocaster, but he plays acoustic guitar almost exclusively in Blackmore's Night. His acoustic guitar melodies and Night's clear, ethereal voice blend with a host of instruments such as mandolins, keyboards, pennywhistles, violins, tambourines, military drums, and hurdy-gurdies. Blackmore once described the band's sound as "Mike Oldfield meets Enya." Blackmore and Night met in about 1989 when Deep Purple played soccer against employees of a Long Island radio station where she worked. Night, a former model, studied communications at the New York Institute of Technology and had her own radio show. Blackmore and Night discovered they shared a love of Renaissance culture and quickly became a couple. The formation of Blackmore's Night is tied to the efforts of his previous two bands. Blackmore left Deep Purple — again — after 1993's musically disappointing The Battle Rages On... album. Blackmore then revived Rainbow — technically under the original Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow moniker — with largely unknown musicians for 1995's Stranger in Us All, and Night contributed lyrics for four songs. Blackmore didn't really want to call it a Rainbow project, but record company executives insisted the name recognition would make it easier to market the album. After Stranger in Us All, Blackmore decided to actually record Renaissance-inspired music. He'd loved the style for years, but he never really played it himself. Once he began playing the music at home, Night would casually start singing along. This innocent, informal practice germinated into Blackmore's Night. The debut album, Shadow of the Moon, was released domestically in 1998. Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson contributes flute on "Play Minstrel Play." Under a Violet Moon followed in 1999, and since a full tour was planned Blackmore consciously wrote more upbeat, stage-friendly music.[1]
歌词
Dancing to the feel of the drum 
Leave this world behind 
We'll have a drink and toast to ourselves 
Under a violet moon
随着鼓声起舞 
把世界抛在脑后 
让我们畅饮，为自己干杯 
在紫罗兰月光下 
Tudor Rose with her hair in curls 
Will make you turn and stare 
Try to steal a kiss at the bridge 
Under a Violet Moon 
她的卷发上有朵玫瑰 
吸引你转身凝视 
想在桥上偷偷一吻 
在紫罗兰月光下 
Raise your hats and your glasses too 
We will dance the whole night through 
We're going back to a time we knew 
Under a violet moon
举起你们的帽子和酒杯 
让我们彻夜狂舞 
我们又回到了往日时光 
在紫罗兰月光下 
Cheers to the Knights and days of old 
the beggars and the thieves 
living in an enchanted wood 
Under a Violet Moon 
为骑士们和古老的岁月干杯 
还有那乞丐和小偷 
住在魔法森林里 
在紫罗兰色月光下 
Fortuneteller what do you see 
Future in a card 
Share your secrets, tell them to me 
Under a Violet Moon 
占卜师，在纸牌预示的未来里 
你看见了什么 
告诉我吧，让我分享你的秘密 
在紫罗兰色月光下 
Replay ** 
重复 ** 
Close your eyes and lose yourself 
In a medieval mood 
Taste the treasures and sing the tunes 
Under a Violet Moon 
闭上双眼 
迷失在中世纪的氛围里 
品味这些珍宝，轻唱歌谣 
在紫罗兰色月光下 
'Tis my delight on a shiny night 
The seasons of a year 
To keep the lanterns burning bright 
Under a Violet Moon 
明亮的夜晚我满怀喜悦 
一年中的四季呵 
让灯笼燃烧，大放光明 
在紫罗兰色月光下
