Chapter Ninety-One: A New Song Comes Soon

Yang Jingxing never fell behind in Tuesday morning's Chinese class, because the professor in his 50s is very knowledgeable, he talks about ancient and modern Chinese and foreign culture and art, and he has expertise in poetry, which is simply a cultural treasure house for Yang Jingxing, a semi-literate person.

The lyrics written by Qi Qingnuo's mother, Yang Jingxing has recited countless times in his heart, hoping that practice makes perfect, and love will grow over time, so that he will be inspired by words and blend in when composing.

In the afternoon, it was ear training and English class, Yang Jingxing skipped class again, and worked hard in 402 alone. Jian Yu is worthy of being a cultural person with a musician's husband, and the lyrics are really well written. Yang Jingxing was originally worried that there would be a problem with the chorus, but after he had a general idea of the theme melody, he found that this problem did not exist at all. The seemingly beautiful and indifferent words in the lyrics actually have strong thoughts and feelings.

Yang Jingxing originally wanted to take a gorgeous route in the accompaniment of the soundtrack, but he chose the piano and pipa after the most reluctance. However, the instrumental music here is not a pure accompaniment, but the other two protagonists in addition to the female vocal turn, almost two independent voices and two female voices echo each other, and the piano is responsible for more chord textures.

The general round singing is the same melody, but Yang Jingxing has come up with a pitch change, although the theme is unified, but the difference is still relatively big, and it has to be interlocked with the feelings of the lyrics.

A song almost has to write a four-part melody, which is nerve-wracking.

At six o'clock, Yu Xinting came to invite Yang Jingxing to dinner. But Yang Jingxing actually said, "Can you help me bring it over?"

Yu Xinting and An Xin hurriedly went and did not accept Yang Jingxing's money. Half an hour later, each of them came back with a bag, a few boxes of lunch, a few dishes, and a bowl of soup. The two girls were still arranged, Yang Jingxing began to gobble up, and it took five minutes to finish two boxes of lunch, and then sat down in front of the double-row keys and continued.

Yu Xinting and An Xin ate slowly, looking at Yang Jingxing from time to time. After eating, they cleaned up again, and after finding that Yang Jingxing didn't have the heart to chat with them, they were ready to leave.

Yu Xinting asked, "Do you want to eat at night?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No need...... After the song is written, we go to eat hot pot. ”

Yu Xinting smiled: "Okay, I want to eat it too." ”

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Where is your braid?"

Yu Xinting looked at her chest and said, "It's not pricked." ”

An Xin said: "Now tie one." ”

Yang Jingxing hurriedly said, "Don't, I want to concentrate." ”

After ten o'clock in the evening, An Xin and Yu Xinting came again and brought the clothes to be washed, and as a thank you, both of them tied two twisted pigtails.

Yu Xinting was still a little apologetic: "She was pierced by me, and she didn't look as good as her." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "They are all good-looking, like two sisters." ”

An Xin smiled: "I'm my sister." ”

Yang Jingxing changed his words: "Like twins." ”

An Xin still wants to be a sister. Yu Xinting put two clothes bags on the chair and explained: "This bag is mine, this is An Xin's." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I recognize it. ”

After returning home in the middle of the night, Yang Jingxing washed his clothes first. Shaken it off one by one, Yu Xinting's long coat was still wrapped in an autumn coat. Pale pink, thin and soft and lightly small, I have never seen it before.

On Wednesday, Yang Jingxing, like most people, skipped the ideological and moral cultivation and legal basics class. He stayed in 402 since 8 o'clock in the morning, and it only took half an hour to eat lunch, and he didn't accompany Yu Xinting and them to call for a small stir-fry, and hurried back to the classroom after making a big plate of Xili snoring.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Qingnuo went to the 402 to visit the class, still panting, stomped a bottle of mineral water in front of Yang Jingxing and said, "We just met No. 3, and we died of laughter." "No. 3 is one of the several boys who chased He Peiyuan, and was numbered third by 306. They all said that this person was very comedic and good at making jokes.

Yang Jingxing asked, "Are you bullying people again?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "Let's do good deeds to cover and send her to break through." ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You want to help each other." ”

Qi Qingnuo said: "I have high defense, so I don't need ...... Let me see. ”

After reading all the scattered scores or fragments on Yang Jingxing's computer, Qi Qingnuo said, "So fast...... What do you eat at night?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yu Xinting, they will send it to me." ”

Qi Qingnuo was envious: "Enjoy it so much? ask her to count me as a share." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You call yourself...... You ask Wang Rui and Nian Qing if they are free tomorrow afternoon, and we will rehearse it. ”

Qi Qingnuo asked, "Can you do it well tomorrow afternoon?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Almost. ”

Qi Qingnuo asked, "Sing to Sister Ran and Fu Feirong?"

Yang Jingxing said: "For the time being, I plan to do so. ”

Qi Qingnuo knocked his half-empty water bottle on the chair: "You're not afraid that three hundred and six will be jealous?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "This is my purpose." ”

Qi Qingnuo was proud again: "You're going to miscalculate." ”

After having dinner together, the girls said goodbye and let Yang Jingxing continue to struggle.

On Thursday afternoon, a few people gathered. Yang Jingxing printed four copies of the score, Yu Xinting was in charge of the piano, and Wang Rui was in charge of the pipa. Qi Qingnuo sang the piano part, and Nian Qing sang the pipa part. The whole song is counted as four voices, two by two, and the two pairs complement each other and complement each other.

The name of the song is still the original of Qi Qingnuo's mother, called "Flowing Water Between the Fingers". The lyrics are rigorously interlaced and rhymed, and the two female voices are sung in alternate rows. As a composer, Yang Jingxing first talked about the general idea, and briefly talked about the structure of the song and the basic requirements for playing and singing.

Qi Qingnuo was worried: "Will it be too messy and messy?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Let's try it again, if it doesn't work, change it." ”

So the girls read the music and became familiar with their responsibilities. Yu Xinting soon began to play and discussed with An Xin. Wang Rui was not far behind, she didn't say much, and she devoted herself seriously.

In terms of playing the two instruments, the piano is slightly more difficult, because the main theme is in cooperation with a single vocal, but the chord texture is in the service of the overall effect, which is a bit separated, unlike the harmonic chords that are tightly integrated like ordinary pieces or accompaniments. Pipa Yang Jingxing studied for three or five days, using what he knew to give full play to its expressiveness, although the melody is a combination of ancient and modern methods, but the performance technique is still traditional, and Wang Rui is completely embarrassed.

As for Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing's round singing, although the two voices of the song are not very difficult to tactful or exaggerated high notes, the comparison and dependence between the two are relatively strong, which is a test of cooperation and independence. It's not impossible to sing separately and independently, and it will sound good, but the effect will be far worse than the feeling of two in one.

Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo are both professional, Nian Qing is more professional in singing, the two compare the similarities and differences in each other's melodies, and the feeling of singing in a low voice.

Qi Qingnuo suddenly said to Yang Jingxing: "You can't go away first, give us half an hour." ”

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I'll buy water for you." ”

Wang Rui said: "It's so cold, I want hot milk tea." ”

Nian Qing smiled: "You go to KFC and wait, and bring it back when you get a call from us." ”

"Okay, it's still hot to come back. Yang Jingxing went out and closed the door.

Qi Qingnuo began to command, and asked Wang Rui and Yu Xinting to come first. This time, the prelude is a pipa, which is slightly soft and ancient, and it is repeated several times to create a solid foundation for the listener first. This is followed by a variation of the piano on the prelude, which is also a little faster in rhythm, and finally the piano modulation and the pipa bring in the sound of Nianqing first.

Nian Qing hummed the first lyrics lightly, beat herself, and then looked at Qi Qingnuo, and she repeated the same sentence...... The first two sentences are the same for two people, and only then do they begin to change and compare.

Qi Qingnuo hummed two sentences and shouted: "Xin Ting, you play fast, don't rush!" This is a problem, four people, each of them must be independent, and they have to cooperate with the other three, although the melody has the feeling of pursuing that kind of catch-up and comparison, but the singer himself must not really catch up.

Wang Rui also said: "Don't think it's simple, be serious, let the strange uncle laugh!"

Yu Xinting nodded and rubbed her hands. In fact, Yang Jingxing has marked the details of the performance and singing on the score, but Yu Xinting and the others have just read the score after all, and this song has a completely different structure and rhythm from the previous "Sun in the Rain".

Again, Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing stopped humming, Qi Qingnuo was the conductor and beat Yu Xinting and Wang Rui. After all, they are all professionals, and this time they played it completely.

Yu Xinting looked back in surprise: "It's so good!" It's a pity that Yang Jingxing is not there.

Wang Rui said: "The middle paragraph doesn't feel right, isn't it fast?"

Qi Qingnuo frowned and looked at the score: "It's not right, I didn't pay attention, come again...... Xin Ting, look at the third line of the fourth page, don't be too stressed. Then he severely criticized Wang Rui: "Look at how you played at the end, I was speechless, you think you are a bully and remove your armor." ”

Wang Rui shouted: "It's you who are blindly commanding! Come again!"

After a few people summed it up, they did it again, Nian Qing tried to sing softly, and Qi Qingnuo couldn't help it, and then summarized it after it was over, dealt with the details, and then the four of them came together.

It's much more difficult to sing it over and over again than to play it again, Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing don't bother to criticize each other, so let's summarize their own problems.

Nian Qing repented: "I shouldn't sing so high here." ”

Qi Qingnuo said: "It's me who is half a beat slower and listens to the piano." ”

An Xin was a bystander: "I feel that your voice is loud...... The pipa is also a bit weak. ”

Wang Rui was irritable: "It was too heavy just now." ”

Over and over again, the girls found that this was not a simple song. The requirements for the details of singing and playing are a bit harsh, and if one note is wrong, it will be so abruptly wrong.

At three o'clock, the electric piano was replaced by An Xin, and a few girls felt a little bit. Wang Rui was the first to be proud: "I'm okay this time! I'm a master! You haven't let go yet!"

Nian Qing was annoyed: "He said to be brisk, how can he be brisk when he is long and tall? ”

Qi Qingnuo refused: "I can't sing." ”

Indeed, in terms of melody, the song is a total of five minutes and is divided into three sections. The first paragraph is soft, not much to say. The second paragraph is a little complicated, I feel that there are different style requirements for the two singers, Yang Jingxing marked the part that Nian Qing was responsible for writing brisk and powerful, I don't know what Lu Dao means. And Qi Qingnuo's part is marked with softness and tactfulness, which is not quite like her style. The third paragraph is the climax and the end, but it seems relatively easy, especially the penultimate twenty or thirty measures, which have the meaning of breaking out together, but it is much easier to deal with.

Yu Xinting still thinks: "It's already good, ask him to come back and tell us." ”

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "No...... It's kind of like an opera, an opera, isn't it?"

Nian Qing nodded: "I think it's a little bit too." ”

There are basically no major problems with the two instruments, and then Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo feel that they have never realized the essence of the song itself. Now it is certain that this is a complex but quite nice song, but it is not sung well...... Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing don't know how to sing.

Little by little, the details are pondered. In this song, different stages have different requirements for singing, otherwise the expressiveness will be greatly reduced. Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo both found out about this, so Wang Rui and Yu Xinting rested for a while and let them practice. Nian Qing also wanted to sit behind the drum to play the rhythm, but was vetoed by Qi Qingnuo.

Look at the time, it's four o'clock. Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing felt that it was almost over, and called Wang Rui and Yu Xinting, who were painting on the blackboard, into place.

Qi Qingnuo solemnly announced: "Don't be embarrassed to eat later!"

An Xin prepared the recorder and held it up between the four singers.

After the last one, it feels very good. Wang Rui nodded in satisfaction: "Well, it's worthy of me." ”

Nian Qing scolded happily: "TMD, Yang Jingxing is playing with people...... He's not allowed to sing it to anyone else!"

Yu Xinting was happy: "It's really good to listen to." ”

Qi Qingnuo hurriedly connected the voice recorder to the computer. The recording is definitely poor, but you can listen to the overall feeling. After a few girls huddled in front of the computer and listened, Nian Qing said, "Find a recording studio to try." ”

Qi Qingnuo called Yu Xinting: "Call!"

More than a quarter of an hour later, Yang Jingxing came back with two large bags of fast food: "It's hard work, eat it while it's hot." ”

Yu Xinting said: "You listen first." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Eat first, otherwise it will be cold." ”

The five girls were gluttonous for a while, and Wang Rui also reported: "Yu Xinting and I have no problem for a long time, but the two singers are unprofessional...... Ouch, it's so hot!"

Yu Xinting nibbled on chicken wings: "No, they sing very well." ”

Qi Qingnuo complained: "What about my partner, give it to me...... Sister Ran is okay, can Fu Feirong sing?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Learn slowly, just let her know that there are many ways to sing Taoist songs." ”

Nian Qing was dissatisfied: "Alas, use us as experiments." ”

Yang Jingxing explained: "If you can't sing well, it must be my song's problem." ”

An Xin said: "I think if you give it to a professional singer and make it well, there will definitely be results." ”

After eating, the girls went to wash their hands, wash their faces, and get ready. Yang Jingxing sat behind the double row of keys on the side of the podium, full of anticipation. Yu Xinting sat down in front of Diansteel and said, "An Xin also played." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Listen to yours too." ”

Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing were standing, each holding a score and facing Yang Jingxing. Qi Qingnuo called Wang Rui: "Let's start." ”

Hey, the author is different here, Wang Rui shook her head when she played the pipa, and An Xin also helped her and Yu Xinting turn over the score.

Nian Qing's voice was a little smaller than when she practiced before, and so was Qi Qingnuo. But after singing two sentences, they glanced at each other, could it be that Yang Jingxing had an encouraging effect?

At about two minutes, a flowing pipa introduced a rhythmic shift, and Yang Jingxing began to nod. It's not a simple song, it's amazing that four girls can practice it like this in three or four hours.

The middle section as a whole is a slightly dynamic flow, and although it may not be easy for the person singing, the listener should get this feeling. The melody is light but not losing strength, occasionally tactful, very beautiful.

The latter part is the climax and the end, the feeling of chasing each other between Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo is strengthened, the tempo is suddenly half faster, the pipa with a tone is quickly raised in a short passage, and the piano seems to encourage cheering in the back. The melody and rhythm are intensified, and the piano plays the role of motivator, rich and fast, uplifting the singer and the listener.

The ending is very short, the harvest is very fast, it is not a traditional technique, and it makes people feel that they are still unfinished. Several girls looked at Yang Jingxing, and he had already begun to applaud, very hard.

"Rate it. Nian Qing was a little panting.

Yang Jingxing said: "Okay!"

Qi Qingnuo was dissatisfied: "You are pertinent, we welcome criticism and correction." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "It's really good, it was still a semi-finished product, and you helped me finish it...... But I can talk to you about it a little bit more. ”

The so-called re-discussion is not a big aspect, it is all small details, mainly singing. But these details don't make much of a difference on the set, just for the studio.

Wang Rui debunked Yang Jingxing: "You just want to admire the two of us, right?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I want to admire you. ”

Qi Qingnuo asked Yang Jingxing: "Really sing for Fu Feirong?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "You take the score with them, take a look at it first." ”

Wang Rui asked Yang Jingxing to invite him to dinner, and the other girls were not polite. When I walked out of the north building, I was shivering in the cold wind with high spirits and spring breeze.
