Chapter 835: Advance
The second movement is the shortest of the four movements, almost half the length of the first, and there are no obvious genre features in the structure.
The piece begins with a deep and powerful wind piece, a longer theme, followed by a variation on the theme by strings, followed by another wind variation, alternating three times and changing five times.
The composer puts his experience and skill to good use here, and each time there is a subtle change of color, from calm to grand, after grandiose and then gorgeous, then a little lighter, and then with a cheerful succession, and the final variation is followed by a transition, and the music has a tendency to rise in a gentle and subtle way.
The knowledgeable people in the audience reacted at this time, raising their chin to raise their attention or making a look of scrutiny, indicating that they had professionally and sensitively discovered that the work was beginning to move in earnest, and the short beginning of this second movement may not be particularly pleasant, but the sincerity shown by the composer was sufficient, and he was gifted and ingenious and meticulously crafted, worthy of the dedication and concentration of the stage.
However, just when everyone was expecting how the piece would develop towards the predetermined idea, the composer was mischievous again, unexpectedly making the strings "tremble", and then the wind music began to "get upset".
It's just counterintuitive, and for a short moment, one might wonder if the composer made a mistake here or that the orchestra made a mistake.
As soon as it eased slightly, the discordant trembling and restlessness came again, and it intensified, lengthened...... Then it disappears again.
Maybe some people wonder if they won't do it again, right?
It really came, and this time it was no longer a temptation or a brew, it was real, the strings began to fluctuate violently, and the wind music seemed to swing uncontrollably.
At this point, the music that comes out of the stage is completely unpleasant to most people, and the enjoyment of normal beauty has almost disappeared.
But the "ugliness" orientation of music has just begun, and in just two bars, the strings change from fluctuating to tumbling, tumbling to overturning, and the wind swaying to breaking, shattering, and falling.
It was so unexpected, and those who had seen the score seemed to be frightened by the instantaneous collapse of the musical image on the stage. Yang Jingxing has never done this before, his style has always been to please girls and make music beautiful and moving. Of course, more people in the audience are not familiar with Yang Jingxing, but even senior experts should not have been exposed to any works, and they will completely turn their faces in such a short period of time.
However, the desire for destruction on the stage has just begun, and this unexpected scare just now is just an appetizer, and then the official meal begins.
After collapsing to the maximum extent that all factors can be combined, the music suddenly begins without warning the wind theme at the beginning of the movement, this time with the woodwinds first.
The notes are still the same, the tempo is the same, but the conductor and musicians still use the remaining space to carefully sculpt the colors of the music, which are not exactly the same as at the beginning, and this feeling becomes more pronounced with the addition of brass and strings.
But compared to the previous upside down, the current melody is simply beautiful.
But it was beautiful for so long, the music seemed to be just about to expand and develop this calm theme, the style of painting suddenly changed, the composer's destruction skills became more skilled, and it only took one measure to divide the original calmness, and the voices were split from a common theme, and then each voice used its own unique skills to reveal the torn pain and ugliness, the poignancy of the violin, and the mournful sound of the trumpet......
This is the first main course, fortunately, the people on the second floor are all well-informed, only a few laymen are a little uncomfortable, and most of them are not surprised, just a little subtle expression.
In the second course, the audience seems to be suddenly pulled into a diametrically opposite perspective, and the grandeur becomes so insignificant.
In the third course, the composer and the musicians on stage used a new cooking method to plaster and smear the gorgeous theme variation in front as quickly as possible, until the black reached out and showed no mercy.
In the fourth course, the light-flowing theme becomes extremely heavy and difficult, and even completely traps the mud pond, which is a catastrophe.
The fifth course continues to play tricks, the cheerful rhythm interrupted instantaneously, and it seems to be frozen forever
The speed of this food was so fast that the audience didn't have time to take a closer look, and the next horror came. It's simply cruel, with beautiful melodies and strings of beautiful textures, shattering and tearing alive in front of thousands of listeners, and making a gesture of destroying the withering and decaying.
The sixth course directly lifted the table, completely cutting off the audience's extravagant hope of seeing one or two edible dishes, and then set up a simply terrifying musical image, standing there arrogantly.
In the midst of the horror, the second movement ended, and Jia Jia may have been a little frightened.
The audience, completely different from the end of the first movement, was full of expressions and whispers, not knowing whether they were denouncing the composer's bad attitude or lamenting their own powerlessness in the face of ugliness. Whether it's good or bad, it's a good thing to be willing to say it. However, the teachers and seniors around him didn't say anything to Yang Jingxing, and they didn't even look at him.
It is not easy to sabotage, and even Lixin on the stage seems to be tired enough for these five or six minutes, but he only has a few seconds to cultivate and adjust his spirit.
The third movement, if you have to set the formula, can be regarded as a combination of rhapsody and march, the music has a certain Yanhuang national color, borrowing some traditional music materials, but in the song has been unrecognizable, only professionals can analyze it. The third movement is still the longest, I heard that the orchestra rehearses for fifteen minutes, and this movement is also the most complex color change, and the composer marks it most frequently in the score.
For most of the second movement, it was frenzied and difficult to hold itself and make a new move, and now the starting movements are very slow, and the head is lowered while turning the score, and the neck turns so slowly, which is very artistic.
When the trumpet sounds, it seems that the first note can be heard with melancholy, so gracefully presenting a theme that is like mourning. Of course, mourning should be serious, but the trumpet followed and became chaotic, seemed to be confused, and then lost his mind, and developed the theme of mourning to the point that the six gods and no master souls were out of the body.
Fortunately, the strings came up, and the wind music followed, several voices, and the melody exploded to show off the wealth again, but this time it was a sad route, the double bass and bassoon continued to lay out extremely heavy bass, the cello was whimpering, the violin was wailing, and the horn was singing.
Slowly, the violin, which had lost its mind, was pulled back by other parts and began to synchronize with everyone.
When the whole orchestra finally came together and began to perform together, it became overwhelmingly sad, darkly despairing, and out of control.
Lian Lixin's command action here is simple, from behind, he seems to be holding his hands in front of his chest, his head is tilted to the sky, and the whole person has not moved for a while, probably commanding with his eyes.
Before the concert, when Gong Xiaoling suggested that Li Yingzhen prepare tissues or handkerchiefs, Li Yingzhen smiled and said no, she didn't brag, and now she just has a sparkle in her eyes, and she is far from using those things.
The music is still intensifying, and the melodies of the various voices are becoming more and more excessive and better coordinated, and the grief is simply made turbulent, even so broad and grandiose that it is impossible to avoid or ignore.
Vice President He was a little excited, staring at the stage with his eyes as if there was some hatred, and the program list that he had been holding in his hand was a little shaky.
No matter how sad it may be, the music is at least much more receptive to the ear than it is to those in the second movement.
You can't always be sensational, the timpani doesn't know when it sounds, it slowly gets louder and louder, the rhythm becomes more and more distinct, and then it drives the gradual transformation of other voices.
After the timpani reached the level of Octavia boldness, the other parts also reached the watershed of emotional transformation, and they each moved forward to the more complex stage below.
First, the brass was the first to wake up from their grief, and after the clever connection, the horn of the march was played, and the confidence and strength changed from weak to strong, and were echoed by the strings, and gradually reached a climax.
However, the climax is short-lived, the march disappears, and the music begins to grieve and even panic again.
Then the march comes up again and tinkers for a while, creating a small climax again.
Then another kind of grief began, but this time it ended with a little bit of hope.
The march continues......
The third movement is the composer's first technical and theoretical display of this work, the first movement is a wonderful melody, and the second movement is a novel idea.
Supported by an endless stream of brilliant ideas and a delicate and solid structure, the music pushes to a big climax in a constant stream of small climaxes.
The tension and panic of the strings does not stop the solid steps of the wind music, but becomes more intense.
In the seemingly endless bass suffering, the mid-to-high strings will not give up their beliefs, no matter how difficult it is, they will push forward step by step.
......
After the foreshadowing was sufficient, the movement was ready to reach its climax, encouraged by the woodwinds, which were soft but brighter each time, and the brass unison became more and more magnificent and bright each time, and again and again, the composer seemed to have an inexhaustible source of inspiration, until the woodwinds had exerted their milking strength, and the brass finally burst to its highest point, and then the whole string was played, and the warmth filled the listener's mind for a moment, and it continued.
After the orchestral music has been warm for a long time, the percussion begins to pave the way, slowly adding to the drama, others slowly fade out, and then the percussion gradually takes on the leading role.
Almost instantly, the orchestral strings struck at the same time again, the wind music was surging, the strings were magnificently bursting, and all the beauty and light seemed to converge and amplify at this moment, making the music so brilliant that the listener had to close their eyes.
However, this climax is relatively short, and then the music falls back and enters the end of the movement, which seems to begin to be melancholy lyrical again, but it is very different from the beginning, there is no despair, but there is hope.
The orchestra stopped, not a single note on the field was gone, and Lian Lixin was still there with a few light strokes of the baton.
There was some applause upstairs and downstairs, but it didn't work out. Gong Xiaoling shook Yang Jingxing's shoulder from behind, Yang Jingxing looked back with a smile, and saw that Professor Gong was completely moved by the music, so he quickly restrained his cheapness.
Yang Jingxing didn't have time to respond to all the attention and encouraging glances around him, and the fourth movement on stage began.
The fourth movement, in terms of form, is a combination of two rondos, and the composer has played a lot of tricks and clever tricks, and if you let the undergraduate freshmen analyze the structure, they may get dizzy.
But in terms of emotional color, the fourth movement and the first movement seem to be a bit repetitive, mainly with that sense of grandeur and openness, and even about the same length. It's just that the fourth movement has a stronger freshness than the first movement, and although the material is different, the emotional expression can be regarded as a luxurious and upgraded version of the first movement, and perhaps the composer's convergence in the first movement is to leave more room for the fourth movement.
There are not many changes in the fourth movement, and it is basically pleasing the listener's ears from the very beginning, not only good but also mostly positive musical images, only occasionally adjusted, and then changed.
If you do a listener survey, maybe the fourth movement is even more popular than the third movement, but if you analyze it in the composition department, the second and third movements can be written about in a big way, and the fourth movement is much more shallow.
The first movement has an introduction, the fourth movement has an epilogue, and the epilogue is relatively long, and finally through the cheerful rhythm of the strings and the sonorous sound of the wind music, the hope for a bright future is expressed.
Lian Lixin's last movement was also a young and lively look, and after a slight pause for only a second or two, he turned around to face the audience not too reservedly, with a little smile that seemed to be haughty, and his chin was a little upturned.
The applause rang out, in the end, Yang Jingxing has no status and no qualifications, the momentum of this applause is much worse than the previous programs, the front is the end of the program as soon as the command and action, the audience immediately began to crackle, it is Yang Jingxing's turn, although the people who take the lead are not few, but the people who follow behind seem to be still holding a wait-and-see attitude, which is not very decisive.
You can't blame others, just look around the composer, Ding Sangpeng didn't do it right away, the principal didn't do it right away, He Hongchui wasn't in a hurry, Li Yingzhen didn't seem to mean that at all...... It's still Professor Gong who, wow, Lu Kaiping also gives face.
However, Lian Lixin should have a bit of status, looking at his posture, he is doing more and more, and everyone still has to give face. So the applause gradually became enthusiastic, and the whole concert hall joined in. Ding Sangpeng raised his old arm, and Li Yingzhen was also a little more interesting.
Then more people may remember that this is the finale, so they give more face, and the applause is more intense and surging.
After half a minute, the talent upstairs began to gradually put down his hand, after all, every show tonight is almost this treatment, and it can be regarded as encouraging the younger generation.
Yang Jingxing pretended to slap the orchestra and the conductor, and wanted to persevere, but he was about to start accepting the congratulations around him like the principal, but the principal received compliments, and Yang Jingxing received praise.
Tang Qing turned his head, as if he was young, put his arm on the back of the chair, and said: "One of the several joys in life, it is worth the money, we have the value of the money, and you have the reward for your work." ”
Yang Jingxing: "You have also gained something from your labor." ”
Tang Qing was modest and flattered the young woman by the way: "The teachers are the ones who have gained something for their hard work, and they have worked hard." He smiled at Li Yingzhen and ignored He Hongchui.
Li Yingzhen said: "You too...... Elder Ding, are you tired?"
Ding Sangpeng turned back slightly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
The principal discussed with Yang Jingxing: "After a little talk, I will send Ding Lao back ......"
The above are all arranged, but the applause downstairs has not stopped, it seems that the group of relatives and friends is very hard, most of the three zero six are still repeating it mechanically, and look back or look up.
Lian Lixin also put down his posture, became easy-going and casually, bowed a little to thank the audience, and then asked the orchestra to thank the audience as well.
The host is on stage, so of course you have to hurry up so late......
The group of people upstairs was really rude, they didn't pay attention to the host's voice, and they just surrounded Ding Sangpeng.
Ding Sangpeng's first request was to meet Lian Lixin: "...... Yang Jingxing, I should be thanked. ”
The teacher helped Yang Jingxing express his position, of course, and he must be thanked. As far as tonight's performance is concerned, the Philharmonic's treatment of Yang Jingxing's Symphony No. 1 is obviously more delicate than the other pieces, and even those who know how to listen to it can find it. But none of the other composers seemed to have any opinions, and the principal and vice-principal were anxious to ask the conductor to come over, or to sit in the lounge.
"Right here, the aftermath lingers. Ding Sangpeng actually said a witty remark, and the smile on the old face was a little bright: "If you have any thoughts and feelings, let's communicate." ”
Of course, the government came first, and the CPPCC felt that Ding Lao's great contribution to the national music cause has been strongly proved today, why so many outstanding musicians gathered together, why everyone is so excited......
The people of the veteran cadres admired Ding Lao's spirit of continuing to shine......
The principal did not follow the trend of the government's footsteps, but said to the old man with a smile: "Donald just said that life is a joy, and I think that it is also a pleasure for someone to succeed." ”
Tang Qing nodded in agreement.
Ding Sangpeng nodded but became serious: "There are successors, and there have always been ...... I'm glad to see you all working together to make your music business better. ”
The president solemnly and sincerely confessed: "We are all of the same heart with you!" Professor He, Professor Li, Director Lu, and Professor Gong all tried not to worry about you. ”
He Hongshui nodded: "We have long analyzed and concluded the work, but we have never had the opportunity to report it to you." ”
Ding Sangpeng shook his head and smiled: "No, no, the work will be handed over to the audience for evaluation, and we won't count what we say." ”
There are still some people who insist that Ding Lao said it even if it is, and then discuss the art, and they all praise that tonight is really wonderful, not only the famous composers, but also Yang Jingxing's symphony is refreshing, it is very good, it is extremely rare.
Lu Kaiping finally understood, and also confessed to Ding Sangpeng: "The piano department, the composition department and the school are also of the same mind, and Professor Li and we must cooperate well in these works...... Congratulations to the Department of Composition for achieving such good teaching results, the first case of cooperation between domestic colleges and universities, and New-Ireland cooperation!"
Vice President He's realm vision has already opened: "Ding Lao supports, the principal leads, the students are competitive, and the piano department is the same, heh......"
Yang Jingxing wanted to escape, so he applied to Li Yingzhen: "I'm going to see the conductor." ”
There are also several levels of official pressure, but Li Yingzhen still nodded and let go.
