Chapter 1344: A Magical and Beautiful Balad
Tang Ying stood in the center of the stage and exhaled slowly, she was ready.
All the audiences in the entire concert hall were also prepared, and the lively and jubilant scene just now quickly quieted down.
Immediately afterwards, the prelude to the song was heard from the high-level sound equipment distributed in all corners of the concert hall.
The artistic conception of the prelude is far-reaching, soothing and smart, and all the people on the scene are suddenly refreshed.
They seem to smell a distant history, the old songs of the Vikings and Celts in the history of the town of Casborough.
This kind of song with a distant and ancient atmosphere, which gradually intoxicates everyone, is a tune full of sensitive poetry and subtle resentment.
Those tunes seem to isolate the distractions of the world, dispel the gloom and reluctance of the world, and bid farewell to the hustle and bustle and glitz of the city.
Let everyone's heart, at this moment, become pure and comfortable, forget everything, and only immerse themselves in the distant tune.
And among all of them, the one who touched him the most was undoubtedly Ryan, and this distant tune brought his whole thoughts back to his hometown, that beautiful town.
Ryan gently closed his eyes, at this moment, his eyes were redundant, only by closing his eyes could he see his hometown more thoroughly.
Looking at his beautiful hometown, Ryan was very excited, just the prelude, Ryan knew that this would definitely be a great song.
He was already convinced!
It's not just Ryan who is excited, but many, many people, like Chris.
Hearing the prelude, Chris had only one thought in his heart, that is, Li Fan's musical attainments, which were already terrifying.
At this time, Wren only sighed silently, and at this time he finally believed that there was a genius in this world, which he could never touch.
And those who were waiting to see Li Fan's jokes, the musicians and singers who participated in tonight's performance, all looked at the extremely beautiful figure on the stage in shock at this time.
Just the prelude to the song seems to have broken all their previous assumptions.
They couldn't believe it.
On stage, Tang Ying brought the microphone close to her mouth and sang the first lyrics.
“Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
(Are you heading to Scarborough Market?)
Parsley,sage,rosemary,and,thyme。
(Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.) )
Remember me to one ho lives there。
(Say hello to one of the girls there on my behalf.) )
She once as true love of mine。
(She used to be my lover.) )
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt。
(Tell her to make me a linen garment.) )
......”
The melody is long and profound, Tang Ying's singing voice is long and crisp, and the sound and tune are perfectly integrated, so that every audience at the scene, since hearing the first word, can no longer get out of Tang Ying's singing.
The Casborough Bazaar is an old English folk song whose lyrics date back to at least thirteenth-century England, and the tune is even earlier, in Scotland.
Of course, in the new century, the popular version of "Cusprough Bazaar" has been processed and recreated by modern musicians.
One of the most famous versions is the one that Simon and Garfunkel have worked on.
In this version, the second, third, and fourth stanzas of the song, at the end of each line, have a less obvious voice singing another set of lyrics.
Simon wrote another set of lyrics, which mainly expressed the will to oppose the war, and the melody was written by Garfunkel.
Another set of lyrics added to the new set of lyrics, which begins like a dark sky in autumn, quietly tells about all kinds of suffering and hardships in the war, which makes this version of "Scarborough Bazaar" no longer just a sad love song, but also a sharp anti-war song.
Li Fan's version is this version, the main song is sung by Tang Ying, and another set of lyrics that are not obvious are temporarily harmonized by Qin Yulin's girl.
Although the girl's singing skills are not very good, the singing voice of the other set of lyrics is not obvious, and the requirements for singing skills are not high, and the girl is completely competent.
The first lyric has a hint of sadness, and the protagonist asks a man if he is going to the Scarborough Market, and asks him to say hello to a girl in the market, who is his former lover......
The second lyric, "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme", is four kinds of flowers, representing the sweetness, strength, loyalty and courage of love.
Everyone felt the faint sadness, as if their former lover was a girl in the market of Nascarbro.
And now, they never see that girl again.
On the stage, Tang Ying's singing continued.
“Parsley,sage,rosemary,and,thymen。
(Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.) )
ithout no seams nor needle ork。
(There are no stitches or needles on it.) )
Then shell be a true love of mine。
(She'll be my true lover.) )
Tell her to find me an acre of land。
(Tell her to find me a piece of land.) )
......”
The scene was quiet, only Tang Ying's singing sounded in every corner of the scene, and every audience at the scene was immersed in singing.
They hadn't been there, though, to the town called Scarborough.
But now, in their minds, they seem to be able to see that beautiful place.
There is the smell of the sea, the smell of the sun, the fragrance of spices......
It's a feast of spices, and if you sniff it, you can smell parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary.
There are endless fields, rivers that are about to freeze, and the sea where eternal sighs, and there are all things that belong to "beauty".
And when this song was sung in the second half, all the audience's ears seemed to faintly hear another voice.
The voice seemed to be right in front of it, and it seemed to come from a distant place through the sea of eternal sighs.
That voice was not very real, only vaguely audible, as if it was telling information related to the sound of trumpets and soldiers.
The voice is like an illusion, but it doesn't seem to be an illusion, and that voice and the main voice complement each other and merge into one, giving people an extremely unique enjoyment.
This is a magical and beautiful ballad, everyone at the scene is looking forward to this song in their hearts, this song must not end, they hope that the song can last longer, longer......
However, when a song will eventually come to an end, Tang Ying on the stage finally finished singing the last lyrics.
The eternal melody is also fading away, and the sound is getting smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, until it disappears.
