Chapter 5: "The Singer of the End of the World" Explosive Edition (New Book Recommendation for Collection)
""The Singer of the End of the World"?" Zhao Xingsheng's eyes lit up, if he was not a crayfish but a crab, now his eyes should be stretched out.
"Teacher, you also know "The Singer of the End of the World". Wang Haixia next to him looked surprised, "That's right, it's a song from your era, teacher!"
"Not at all!" Zhao Xing waved two big pincers angrily, "I'm only in my early thirties!"
"Could it be that this song is older than you?" Wang Haixia looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Xingsheng turned around and looked at the screen, this guy is Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao's classmates, right, Class 18 of the Department of Physics, I remember!
Look at my time to put on your little shoes! You post-00s really can't speak!
"Then, how old is "The Singer of the World"?" Wang Haixia asked, then lowered his head and searched for it on his mobile phone, glanced at it, and laughed out loud: "Teacher, it's really older than you!"
Zhao Xingsheng felt that he was very self-contained.
Didn't just clip this guy to death.
The song Tianya Singer is really very famous, and she is really very old.
It was born in 1937 and is one of the theme songs of a classic movie "Angel on the Road", and the original singer is a generation of singers, the golden voice Zhou Xuan.
And its songwriter is also a famous name, the composer is called He Luting, and he also has a very popular work, which is the well-known "Guerrilla Song" by women and children.
And the lyricist is called Tian Han.
That's right, it's that Tian Han.
And Zhou Xuan, with this song, became popular all over the country, both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea and the North Ocean, Britain, France, the United States and Japan...... of the Chinese circle.
The golden voice is the most influential singer in the history of domestic music, and there is not even one of them. Even Teresa Teng has covered her songs for I don't know how much.
And the number of singers who have covered such a song is estimated to be more than the number of people in this auditorium.
This song itself is just a folk tune, with a simple melody and few techniques, so it is easier to add a personal style to cover it.
In addition to Teresa Teng's cover, there is also Cai Qin's bass version, Zhou Huajian's greasy version, and Wu Mochou's bewitching version......
Coincidentally, this song is also a song that Zhao Xingsheng likes very much.
As a historian specializing in the history of music and ancient musical instruments, he was born with a great affection for these songs, which had a great impact on history.
"Which version are you going to sing?" Zhao Xingsheng suddenly became a little interested.
"Which version?" Gu Xiaobai looked at a loss, a song, how many versions are there?
Is it the same as textbooks, who teaches the version, the Soviet version, and the Normal University version?
Looking at Zhao Xingsheng's inquiring eyes, Gu Xiaobai replied blankly: "My grandmother's version." ”
Zhao Xingsheng had a black line in his head, he wanted to ask the version, he wanted to help Gu Xiaobai prepare accompaniment, after all, the cappella is too testing of singing skills, which also means that the cry of strangling the cat will be even more poignant......
Zhao Xingsheng looked at his side, and the two hands of the classmates were ready to go.
Not for applauding, for plugging ears.
Zhao Xingsheng subconsciously raised his hand: "That...... Just go on stage and sing it. ”
Fu Wenyao was playing and singing just now, so now there is a wheat rack on the stage, and the microphone is on it, Qi Xiaobai leaned over to the wheat rack and looked down.
A group of people were also looking at him, smiling nervously.
Wang Haixia raised his two hands high, Fu Wenyao held his guitar tightly with both hands, and Zhao Xingsheng was wooden.
"And I sang it?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
It's out.
"Ahem......" Gu Xiaobai cleared his throat.
Although he was forced to come to participate in the primary election, Gu Xiaobai has always been serious in his work, and as long as he does it, he will never run away.
Next to him, the keyboardist didn't know what was going on at all, only heard a song title, and kindly played a simple prelude to Gu Xiaobai.
“Mi mi sol la la......”
Gu Xiaobai listened to the prelude and recalled the lyrics and tunes.
At the end of the prelude, Gu Xiaobai took a breath and opened his mouth to sing.
Zhao Xingsheng's eyes lit up, hey, the beat cut is very accurate, not like a person who doesn't understand it at all.
But when Gu Xiaobai opened his mouth, Zhao Xingsheng chuckled in his heart.
Turned up high.
The original singer of this song is a female voice, and the female voice is naturally an octave higher than the male voice, and the first note of the Tianya singer is la (6), which is A4 if it is replaced by the common vocal range of the female voice. (Note 1)
How tall is A4?
It's about as high as playing handstand on the edge of a three-story building!
The common treble area of domestic male singers is this range. The original tune is sung, without training, and the normal boy's vocal range is about to go up when he sings the first sentence.
Zhao Xingsheng chuckled in his heart, and suddenly thought of the sound of Wang Haixia describing to him, pinching the dead cat.
The starting key is so high, I can't sing it, and my vocal cords are desperately squeezing, isn't it the sound of pinching a cat?
Zhao Xingsheng's hand had already been raised, and he was about to cover his ears.
But in the next moment, he was completely frozen.
A clear, loud, thick, even relaxing sound came.
"Heavenly ...... Yaya~"
That's right, it's A4!
A bar, simple three-word lyric that descends from A4 to D4 and then rises back to A4, exactly a pure fifth, sounds very harmonious.
Gu Xiaobai sang, as simple as eating a side dish, but this could not hide the fact that it had entered the high-pitched area of the male voice, which shocked Zhao Xingsheng and even stared out of his eyes.
It's not strange to have a treble in such a vocal range, as I said before, ordinary people are not trained, and they can shout at the top of their voices, but the timbre can already be said to be miserable, as long as you sing a sentence, it is enough to sing and breathe.
Treble and treble are different, if you can have a comfortable, high-quality voice and clear articulation in this sound area, you are already a treble in the traditional sense.
For example, Sun Nan, Han Lei, Liu Huan, the best treble is basically in this sound area, and the timbre of the male voice plus the high-pitched tone is enough to make people's heads explode.
Now Zhao Xingsheng's head is about to explode.
Fried, really blew up!
is just the first three words of the simple, Zhao Xingsheng's thinning hair has already stood up, and his hair is even harder like a hedgehog.
Wait a minute......
Between the lightning and the fire, Zhao Xingsheng suddenly realized something.
The first measure is A4, and the next bar begins with ...... C5?
The legendary touchstone of the male soprano ...... high C?
But he didn't have time to think about it at all, and the earth-shattering C5 treble had already erupted.
What is the concept of C5, or high C?
C is the 1 of the simple score, singing do, and C5, which is the number of pianos from left to right, the fifth C, which is basically a normal, belonging to the human category, and has not yet broken through the sky of pop tenor singers, the highest note that can be touched.
For example, in the first sentence of the letter orchestra's "Love When You Die", death is E4, and then it rises by a minor sixth, followed by four consecutive words "Love when you die", which is the earth-shattering, high-pitched and loud high C!
It can be said that those who can sing high-quality high C are all powerful, and they are powerful people who have blown up their dicks.
But this is just the beginning for the song "The End of the World......
Because this is a cover of the original key...... And it's a male voice and a female singer.
(Note 1: This is the pitch representation of the international standard piano notation, not the size of the word, only this pitch representation appears in this book (occasionally the frequency will appear directly), there will be no size of the word, if you are familiar with the size of the word, please convert it yourself, thank you!)
Note 2: The original song of "The Singer of the End of the World" is actually in the Bb key, that is, B flat, not C key, half a note lower than the C key, which is ignored here for the convenience of the text.
Note 3: For the song of the original male voice covering the female voice, you can refer to Hua Chenyu's cover of Chen Li's "Flammable and Explosive", which is an explosive-level treble.
Note 4: The background characters and historical figures appearing in this book are all true, and the characters appearing are all fabricated.
Note 5: The basic music theory is explained in Chapter 10...... If you want to know, you can take a look, Uncle Ha, as a science student, understands it like this, you can skip it if you don't understand it, Uncle Ha writes the story first, and nothing else will affect the story. )
