不知是远古时代的哪一年，一种拨弦乐器———竖琴在爱尔兰诞生了。竖琴形
状像满弦的弓，据说它的发明是有感于箭发弓鸣，而竖琴被拨动时发出的声音
也确实如箭出弓弦时般干净、单纯，只是少了刺耳的锐利破空声。竖琴的发明
使爱尔兰有了堪与苏格兰风笛媲美的民族乐器，它很快成为爱尔兰的象征：爱
尔兰国徽的图案是竖琴；街上许多建筑物的门首上都有竖琴浮雕；甚至在美国
的俚语里，将爱尔兰人就叫做“竖琴”。

竖琴是由凯尔特人发明的。爱尔兰早期居民凯尔特人是个很有音乐艺术才能的
民族。他们在劳动中创作了大量歌曲，如纺织歌曲、磨谷歌曲、捕鱼歌曲等等
，并且还有专门的弹唱诗人，他们用竖琴歌唱生活，是古代专业音乐诗歌艺术
大师。今天爱尔兰的许多民歌中还能找到那时的影子。

提起竖琴，就会令人联想起在爱琴海边的女神。当竖琴手端坐琴前，双手抚琴
如行云流水般飞舞拨动琴弦时，其形态姿势之优美，确如落在凡间的精灵。竖
琴有不同的分类，会根据国家和地域的差别在结构上有所差异。爱尔兰竖琴又
称凯尔特竖琴，它有一个三角形的外框，约90厘米高，55厘米宽，没有踏板，
不同长度的琴弦发出的音符也不相同，并且音色优美清亮，宛如水珠落盘。演
奏者通过手指对琴弦的挤压来改变琴弦的固有音符，而传统的爱尔兰竖琴是用
手指甲弹奏的。传说假如一个演奏者的演奏使听者感到苦恼，他的指甲就会断
裂。爱尔兰竖琴的音域很宽，泛音表现同样出色，这就使爱尔兰竖琴在演奏时
犹如瀑布飞流直下，流畅而又缓急分明。在加上它独特的清音，竖琴对于爱尔
兰民乐特点的最终形成起到关键作用。风笛与竖琴一旦合作，乐器对曲意的表
达便更为丰富，能够充沛地表达各种情绪，在优美的基调上引起听众的共鸣。
