《修慕伊．北戶的歌 Uwas na Syumuy Pehu》 是 古秋妹（修慕伊・北戶） 長年音樂創作與文化傳承的結晶。她以歌聲唱頌對故鄉與家人的思念，如同原野繁花綻放愛與美好。歌曲承載著 新竹縣尖石鄉梅花村（泰雅語：「梅嘎蒗 mekarang」，意指「土地肥沃、稻子黏牙的地方」） 的記憶與情感，喚起深深的鄉愁與敬意。
泰雅族的母語創作歌謠原本稀少，對於身為耆老的她來說，能夠透過音樂記錄 泰雅族澤敖利語系，並將過往生活習俗轉化為旋律傳承給年輕世代，是一項榮耀且珍貴的使命。自1983年起，她的創作涵蓋 兒歌、學會會歌、佛曲、哲理歌與母語歌，累積超過百首作品，成為泰雅文化傳承的重要資產。
她的音樂創作源自對文化的熱愛，也因智慧財產權的興起而決定自行譜寫旋律。從情境觸動到哼唱瞬間，靈感化為動人樂章，這些作品也成為她創立的舞團與學會的核心養分，使表演者能夠 隨取、隨唱、隨跳，形成自成一格的特殊藝術文化。
她常勉勵學生：「會唱就會跳，舞蹈的靈魂在於韻味與精神的展現。即使沒有音響設備，仍能載歌載舞，這正是原住民樂天知命、不向命運低頭的堅毅精神。」這場音樂會不僅是一場藝術饗宴，更是一場關於 生命、記憶與文化根源的深刻訴說。
藝術創作者簡介
古秋妹（修慕伊・北戶） 為泰雅族耆老，長年投入原住民音樂與舞蹈創作，並擔任演出者。她於 2001 年創立 「泰雅風情舞蹈團」，致力於泰雅文化的保存與推廣，透過歌舞表演與傳統文物展覽，讓大眾認識即將失傳的藝術，並體驗泰雅文化之美，使其在新舊文化的傳承中產生共鳴與新意。
她的創作歷程充滿挑戰，2018 年因車禍骨折後仍堅持復健，至今 76 歲仍不曾停下音樂與舞蹈創作。她將 泰雅文化與不同族群藝術融合，創作出獨具特色的音樂與舞蹈，並累積超過百首以泰雅傳統為基調、融合多元文化的音樂作品。
她不僅創作並傳唱泰雅族歌謠，更與資深音樂人 謝銘祐 合作，以音樂訴說族群記憶與生活故事，讓都市與原鄉的族人都能從歌聲中尋回文化根源。
古秋妹老師的音樂創作來自泰雅文化的深厚底蘊，她以原住民傳統為基礎，開創新的音樂與舞蹈形式，讓古老的旋律以更具活力的方式展現。她包辦傳統音樂採集、作曲、演唱及錄音，將泰雅族音樂提煉出獨特且當代的風格。其作品既傳達族群共融的意義，也回應年輕世代都市原住民的心聲，成為 昇華人性、洗滌心靈的藝術。
透過純淨歌聲與創新旋律，她將豐富的文化情感與藝術理念合而為一，將內心最真摯的感受傳遞給聆聽者，使觀眾體會到原住民藝術創作的生命力，並感受到她對故鄉與文化的深厚情感。

Introduction of the Work
"Uwas na Syumuy Pehu" is the culmination of Ko Chiu-Mei (Syumuy Pehu)’s lifelong dedication to music and cultural preservation. Through her songs, she expresses a deep longing for her homeland and family, like wildflowers blooming with love and beauty. Her music carries the memories and emotions of Mekarang (梅嘎蒗), a village in Jianshi Township, Hsinchu County, evoking a profound sense of nostalgia and reverence.
As an Atayal elder, Ko has taken on the rare and significant mission of creating original songs in the Atayal Tseqqli dialect, transforming past traditions and customs into melodies that can be passed down to younger generations. Since 1983, she has composed over a hundred songs, spanning children's songs, association anthems, Buddhist hymns, philosophical pieces, and native-language compositions, making invaluable contributions to the preservation of Atayal culture.
Her passion for music led her to compose her own melodies, inspired by personal experiences and cultural heritage, ensuring that her artistic expressions remain true to her people. Her works have become a foundation for the dance groups and associations she has established, allowing performers to freely sing, dance, and embody the essence of Atayal traditions, shaping a unique artistic identity.
She often tells her students: "If you can sing, you can dance. The essence of dance lies in its rhythm and spirit. Even without sound equipment, we can still sing and dance—this is the resilient and joyful nature of Indigenous people, never yielding to fate." This performance is more than an artistic feast; it is a profound expression of life, memory, and cultural identity.
About the Artist
Ko Chiu-Mei (Syumuy Pehu) is an Atayal elder devoted to Indigenous music and dance creation. As a performer, she founded "Atayal Cultural Dance Troupe" in 2001, focusing on preserving and promoting Atayal culture through traditional dance, musical performances, and cultural exhibitions. By presenting these near-forgotten traditions, she enables people to experience the beauty and significance of Atayal heritage, creating a bridge between past and present.
Despite suffering severe fractures in a car accident in 2018, Ko persevered through rehabilitation, refusing to abandon her passion for music and dance. At 76 years old, she continues to compose and perform, blending Atayal culture with influences from various Indigenous communities, crafting a unique artistic style. Her extensive body of work includes over one hundred songs, integrating Atayal traditions with contemporary influences.
Ko has collaborated with renowned musician Hsieh Ming-Yu, using music to tell the stories of Indigenous life and history. Her compositions help reconnect urban Indigenous youth with their cultural roots, preserving and revitalizing Indigenous heritage through music.
Her musical creations are deeply rooted in Atayal traditions, yet she brings fresh vitality to her work by infusing modern elements into traditional melodies. She meticulously collects and arranges music, composes and records, refining Atayal music into a distinct and contemporary art form. Her songs foster cultural unity, self-reflection, and spiritual healing, serving as a powerful bridge between generations.
Through her pure, resonant voice and innovative compositions, she conveys her deep emotions and artistic vision, allowing audiences to truly experience the essence of Indigenous artistry and her profound love for her homeland and culture.
