有幸生長在 CD 風行的時代，
我的聽歌習慣很老派，
喜歡在聽歌時翻著歌詞本，
閱讀內頁的寫真、文案、歌詞與幕後人員名單，
宛如朝聖般慎重。

一個名字絕對不可能忽略：屠穎。
一般人只會比較注意歌手、作詞作曲人，
編曲人是嚴重被低估、邊緣的重要人物。
但「屠穎」這兩字給人的印象太深了，
而且我最愛的專輯：王菲《天空》、
許茹芸《如果雲知道》、張學友《不後悔》，
都可以見到他的響亮大名。
尤其王菲《天空》，屠老師更包辦了幾乎整張的編曲，
精彩萬分，到現在聆聽都不過時。

聽聞屠穎老師於今年 11 月 1 日因意外過世，
真是感到太遺憾難過了。
立刻開始搜尋老師參與的編曲經典，
一查不得了，也太多首了吧？
少說也有上千首，
包括之前我曾錄過的王菲〈天空〉、張惠妹〈真實〉，
都是他的代表作之一。

我特別從眾多經典中，挑選出三首氣質相符、
空靈、優美、蒼茫遼闊的經典情歌，
組合成紀念屠穎老師的鋼琴組曲——〈如果雲知道離人有天空〉。
因是致敬編曲大師，自然在編曲上不能馬虎，
這是我組織過最複雜的一曲 Piano Cover Mix：

以張學友〈離人〉的輕巧節奏開始，
許茹芸〈如果雲知道〉主歌 1 悠悠唱起，
主歌 2 再與〈離人〉主歌疊合對唱。

〈如果雲知道〉副歌開始，王菲〈天空〉旋律溫柔包裹著雲絮，
讓思念之情飄揚昇華。

間奏轉入描寫漫步雲端的經典歌曲〈Walking In The Air〉
（選自英國色鉛筆動畫名作《雪人》中，雪人帶男孩飛翔的段落），
降落後以〈離人〉為主、〈如果雲知道〉為輔，輕柔唱和。

〈離人〉副歌出現，也是全曲唯一一次。
〈如果雲知道〉僅有副歌第一句，主要搭配〈天空〉旋律。
順帶一提：〈天空〉的作曲者楊明煌老師，
在 1995 年因車禍離世，至今也是剛好 30 週年，
他對華語樂壇的貢獻極大，我改天來多挑他的經典致敬。

尾段，突如其來轉調（A 大調 → D 大調，因它們互為五度關係，好轉調），
讓〈天空〉成為主角，唱出壯麗氣勢。
運用音樂蒙太奇式讓〈如果雲知道〉和〈離人〉旋律交錯溶接，
這一段罕見使用最多三軌鋼琴，
詞境和音樂畫面都達到最濃郁飽滿。

最後的尾奏，我在〈離人〉的鋼琴與口哨旋律中，
再加上法國特立獨行的作曲家——薩替（Erik Satie，1866–1925），
最有名的一段鋼琴旋律〈第一號吉諾佩第（Gymnopédie No.1）〉（日劇《長假》也有收錄）。
而薩替今年也剛好逝世滿一百年，
在如天堂般純淨奇妙的氛圍下，
和弦未完結，淡淡留下餘韻……

對我來說，編曲是件如同原創一般非常有價值的工作，
像是服裝設計師，為美好的體態創造華麗、有故事性的外衣；
也像是大廚，施展讓食材成為美味佳餚的魔法。
而能夠在一生裡勤勤懇懇、幕後為上千首經典名曲作嫁，
那貢獻之大，讓受到感召豢養的我們，
沒齒難忘。

謹以這首我用心至深的老歌新編，
向我心中的編曲之神——屠穎老師，
致上最高敬意。
祝福你在更自由的天空，玩著最愛的音樂。

🎹 In Memory of Max Tu：Valen Hsu × Jacky Cheung × Faye Wong《The Cloud Knows? The Departed Lover Has a Sky》Piano Cover Mix

I was fortunate to grow up in the golden age of CDs.
My way of listening to music is old-fashioned—
I love flipping through lyric booklets,
reading the photos, liner notes, and credits with quiet reverence.

One name I could never overlook was Max Tu.
While most people focus on singers or songwriters,
arrangers often remain the unseen heroes.
Yet “Max Tu” left a deep impression on me.
My favorite albums—Faye Wong《Sky》,
Valen Hsu《The Cloud Knows?》, and Jacky Cheung《No Regret》—
all proudly bear his name.
Especially Faye Wong《Sky》, which he almost entirely arranged—
brilliant in every detail, still timeless today.

When I learned that Max Tu passed away in an accident on November 1,
I was filled with sorrow and disbelief.
Searching through his works, I was stunned—he had arranged over a thousand songs,
including pieces I once performed like Faye Wong《Sky》and A-mei《Truth》.

From countless classics, I selected three ethereal, elegant, and expansive ballads
to form this tribute suite: 《The Cloud Knows? The Departed Lover Has a Sky》.
Since it honors a legendary arranger, the structure had to be equally refined.
It became the most intricate Piano Cover Mix I’ve ever created.

It opens with the gentle rhythm of Jacky Cheung《The Departed Lover》,
followed by Valen Hsu《The Cloud Knows?》,
then both verses intertwine in delicate counterpoint.
When the chorus arrives, Faye Wong《Sky》floats in softly like drifting clouds,
lifting the longing higher and higher.

The interlude quotes 《Walking in the Air》
from the British animated classic The Snowman,
symbolizing flight through memory and time.
After landing, 《The Departed Lover》returns as the main theme,
with 《The Cloud Knows?》echoing gently alongside.

At the final section, an unexpected modulation (A major → D major, since they are a perfect fifth apart, making the modulation smooth.)
ushers 《Sky》to center stage with grandeur.
Through musical montage, I blend the melodies of the three songs,
layering up to three piano tracks for emotional depth.

The coda features a touch of Erik Satie (1866–1925)
and his timeless piano piece 《Gymnopédie No.1》,
also heard in the Japanese drama Long Vacation.
Coincidentally, this year marks the 100th anniversary of Satie’s passing.
The piece fades into a heavenly stillness,
its harmony unresolved, leaving only quiet light.

To me, arranging is as precious as composing.
It’s the art of designing beauty—like a tailor shaping sound,
or a chef turning ingredients into emotion.
To dedicate a lifetime to shaping songs from behind the scenes
is an act of devotion few will ever see,
but one we will never forget.

With this heartfelt new arrangement,
I offer my deepest respect to Max Tu,
the God of Arrangement in my heart.
May you roam freely in a higher sky,
forever playing the music you love most.
