Chapter 338: Ah Niu
Shao Hongsleeve was slightly stunned, and then looked at Ye Zheng quietly, waiting for Ye Zheng to continue to explain. Ye Zheng continued: "As I said earlier, I want to form this orchestra because I want them to promote our national instrumental music. As for the form of performance, it will be played in the form of popular music, but this is not the main thing. Most of all, I still want to restore some original instrumental tracks. Now we can inquire, whether it is the guzheng, the guqin, or the pipa erhu, etc., presumably with the attainments of the red-sleeved sister in this regard, those classic and excellent repertoire are known. ”
Shao Hongsleeve nodded lightly, she has a deep attainment in these national instrumental music, and she can say that she has seen all the famous complete repertoire. And she has also sorted out a few scattered tracks. "The existing instrumental repertoire, their popularity and dissemination, must have taken shape. It is difficult to further improve. Ye Zheng said: "Therefore, if you want to build this orchestra, you have to start from two aspects in terms of works. The first aspect refers to the adaptation of popular music and some classic folk instrumental repertoire to make people feel fresh. The second aspect is to create a completely new repertoire, not in terms of new pop music, but in terms of authentic folk instrumental music. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Zheng smiled: "Doesn't Sister Red Sleeves want to see some good tunes that I have never seen before?" When he said this, Shao Hongsleeve quickly understood, and said with a smile in his eyes: "I often hear that Mr. Ye is talented, and he is a creative genius that is rare in a hundred years in music. I know that Mr. Ye has composed many good songs, and I also watched the work that Mr. Ye sent to the National Orchestra a few days ago. It can be seen that you are also highly accomplished in Western musical instruments. But I don't know that Mr. Ye also understands traditional folk instrumental music?" Ye Zheng smiled confidently and said, "If I don't understand myself, where am I going to find new repertoire? Shao Hongsleeve looked at Ye Zheng's expression and smiled: "Since Mr. Ye is so confident...... If Mr. Ye can make a convincing song, I might as well agree to Mr. Yip. ”
She doesn't like fame and fortune, doesn't like money and luxury, and what she cares about and is most obsessed with is national instrumental music. The only thing that can move her is ethnic instrumental music. She has a lot of attainments, and she can almost play good repertoire, so her thirst for new repertoire is very high. It's a pity that this kind of repertoire of traditional instrumental music can be easily and casually composed? The number of talents in traditional instrumental music is already small. There are even fewer people who have the ability to compose. And the tunes that can impress her Shao Hongsleeves are even rarer. Although he knew Ye Zheng's talent in music, Shao Hongsleeve didn't believe that Ye Zheng could make good tunes. You must know that there is a big difference between traditional instrumental music and Western instrumental music. A lot of the tunes are incompatible. For example, if you play an erhu song with a piano piece, although you can still play it, it will not have the charm of the erhu song.
Conversely, if you play a piano piece with an erhu, you will lose its essence. If you talk about performing pop music with traditional folk instruments, you can do it. But that's the way of pop music. That kind of music is not pure national instrumental music. What Ye Zheng just said was pure and authentic national instrumental music. Hearing Shao Hongsleeve's words, Ye Zheng's face showed a smile, he stretched out his hand to Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Ye Zheng, Ye Zheng stood up and said with a smile while walking towards Shao Hongsleeve: "Before I came, I thought that I might encounter some difficulties, so I had already prepared for this." I heard that Sister Red Sleeve has the deepest attainment in the four musical instruments of Guzheng, Erhu, Pipa, and Dizi, so here is a piece of repertoire for each of the four instruments I prepared, and Sister Red Sleeve can take a look at it before making a decision. ”
Shao Hongsleeve's face showed surprise, she didn't expect Ye Zheng to come with the song that had already been made, so she quickly stood up and took the folder from Ye Zheng's hand. "Sister Redsleeve, let's take a look first. Ye Zheng said, in fact, this was originally used when he wrote a few pieces of various national instrumental music after he became interested yesterday, and was ready to recruit various instrumental music masters. Since I came here today, when I met an all-round person like Shao Hongsleeve, I didn't hesitate to take out four tracks to show her. All four tracks are classics. Shao Hongsleeve nodded lightly, looking at Ye Zheng's confident appearance, she couldn't wait to see these four tunes. I opened the folder, and the first sheet of music was written with the words "Guzheng Song", and then the name of Guzheng Song.
"The fishing boat sings late. She read it softly, and then looked up at Ye Zheng: "The fishing boat sings at night, ringing on the shore of Peng Li?" The name of this piece is taken from the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng". Ye Zheng said with a smile: "Sister Red Sleeves, take a look at this song, I believe it will definitely make you excited." Shao Hongsleeve smiled and nodded, then quietly looked down at the tune, Ye Zheng was not in a hurry, so he sat there and waited. He absolutely believes that a song "Fishing Boat Singing Evening" can make her heart move.
"Fishing Boat Singing Evening" originated in the thirties of the twentieth century, is a famous northern school Zheng song, who created it has been disputed, for Lou Shuhua to develop the ancient song "Return" as the material, and some people say that Jin Zhuonan based on the Shandong traditional Zheng song "Shuangban" and its evolution of the two pieces of music "Three Rings Set of Sun" and "Flowing Water Stone" adaptation. More specifically, Jin Zhuonan passed the song to Lou Shuhua, and Lou Shuhua made further arrangements. This song depicts the beautiful scene of the sunset reflecting the blue waves, the fishermen leisurely and the fishing boats drifting away with the waves. Since the thirties of the twentieth century, it is the most widely circulated and influential Zheng solo piece in China.
Later, in 1984, the background music of "Weather Forecast" began to use the electronic organ to play "Fishing Boat Singing Evening", which has been used for 30 years, making it the most familiar music for the people of the country. Shao Hongsleeve looked down, and soon, her expression became more and more serious and focused, and gradually, there was obvious love and amazement from her expression. With her attainments, the music looks very smooth, and she finished it in a few minutes.
"It's really a good song!" Shao Hongsleeve's face was slightly red, and he looked a little excited: "Mr. Ye, is this song really created by you?" Ye Zheng smiled: "How?" "Classic!" Shao Hongsleeve's eyes looked at the score in his hand, his fingers gently stroked the score, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, his eyes were full of love: "Mr. Ye is really a genius of the world, just with such a song, he can be regarded as a guzheng master if he can't play the zither." Good tune, good mood, I can't wait to play it now. ”
"If I can hear Sister Red Sleeves play with my own ears, I am really lucky. Ye Zheng said with a smile: "But Sister Red Sleeves should also read the other three tunes first, if Sister Red Sleeves reads the other three tunes, which one she wants to play, but she can't tell which one!" "Oh oh oh ......" Shao Hongsleeve suddenly remembered that there were three more tunes, and her heart suddenly swelled up with great anticipation, this guzheng song is already so classic, what are the remaining three tunes? She turned the next page of the score and saw that the score read, the pipa song "Ambush on All Sides".
"The previous song was taken from the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", but this song jumped to the Chu and Han dynasties?" Shao Hongsleeve asked with a smile. Ye Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, but "Fishing Boat Singing Night" is just a name, and it has nothing to do with that article. This song is to tell the story of the siege of the wall, and express the scene at that time through the song. ”
Shao Hongsleeves nodded: "I'll take a look." After a while, Shao Hongsleeve raised his head, but he first breathed a long sigh of relief, stroked the breath on his chest with his hand, and then said: "I looked at this tune, and I couldn't help but think of its tune in my head, but I almost couldn't breathe." Compared with the relaxation and leisureliness of the previous "Fishing Boat Singing Evening", this "Ambush on All Sides" is intertwined and undulating, with a fierce melody, which is a completely different style...... It's hard to imagine that the thrill of that battle can be expressed in a single lute song, and it can be expressed so perfectly. "But the killing aura in it is too heavy, and it feels like it's hard to breathe when you're deep in it. She smiled and turned to the next page: "I have to take a look at this bamboo flute song "Gusu Xing" to ease up, and the title must be more relaxed and beautiful." "Well, the melody of this "Gusu Xing" is based on Kunqu Opera, and it is a Jiangnan-style song. "The dizi song is "Gusu Xing", it is a classic bamboo flute song composed by the flute player and composer Jiang Xianwei, the melody is beautiful and kind, the style is elegant and comfortable, the rhythm is relaxed and bright, the structure is concise and complete, and it is one of the representative pieces of the southern school of the flute. After watching "Gusu Xing", Shao Hongsleeve watched the erhu song "Empty Mountain Bird Language" again.
Then, she gently closed the folder and held it in her arms, with an admiring smile on her face: "As you said, I really don't know which tune to play now, every piece of music is so good, it can be called ......a classic" Then she stood up, Ye Zheng thought that she was going to return the score to herself, and just wanted to say that it was okay to let her keep it, but unexpectedly, Shao Hongsleeve bowed slightly to him. Ye Zheng was startled and quickly stood up: "What is Sister Redsleeves doing......?"
Shao Hongsleeve exclaimed: "With these four songs, Mr. Ye can definitely be called a national instrumental master, thank you very much to Mr. Ye for letting me see them......" Ye Zheng smiled bitterly: "I will definitely be able to come up with a lot of masterpieces in the future, although Sister Redsleeves can watch and play it, I won't play it myself." There's no need to bow. ”
