Orig. the calls of street salesmen (hawkers) in selling their wares; over 150 have been collected. Some Eng. composers, e.g. Gibbons and Weelkes, incorporated these mus. cries into their works. The 20th‐cent. composer Berio has written a work called Cries of London and Vaughan Williams incorporates a reminiscence of the lavender‐seller's cry into his London Symphony.

城鎮年代的叫賣聲

因為一則中華電信的廣告，讓我的記憶又重回兒時，尚屬農業社會形態的攤販叫賣聲。自然界從不是寂然無聲，城市的聲響更是正常不 過，它和庶民脈動、商業生機息息相關。因此，我借用《倫敦的叫賣聲》，回顧那已逝的城鎮年代（八○年代以前），也期新時代的聲響依舊有味。本文同時刊載於 《文訊》317期（2012年3 月）
