"Theresa, did you have a good time going to Annecy these two days?"

"It's okay, but without your company, I always feel a little lost. Theresa kissed Jonas warmly on the lips and asked, "What about you, how are you doing at home these two days?"

Annecy is an ancient town in France, south of Geneva, known as the most beautiful town in France, surrounded by mountains and rivers, but Jonas has never been there.

"It's good. Putting his arm around Theresa's shoulders, Jonas said, "I've figured out what I'm going to do at my graduation ceremony, but I need your help." ”

"Can I help you?" Theresa immediately became arrogant and smiled, "That depends on how your conditions are given." ”

Jonas slapped her bulge and smiled, "I can't treat you badly, I'll send you to the dormitory, and then go to the training room." ”

Teresa was sent to her dormitory, Jonas was waiting for her at the door, and after a while, Teresa, full of curiosity, went downstairs, and the two of them came to the training room together.

In the training room, Kostler and Dinah are discussing the handling of a beat, and neither of them can convince anyone.

Avril's version of the soundtrack for "Knocking on Heaven's Door" is very simple, and a guitar will do the trick.

But the tone and rhythm she dealt with at the time was so personal that few people were able to tell it as isolatedly as she was.

More importantly, she is a woman, so she can indict war and human violence in an otherworldly manner.

If Jonas sang like that with Kostler, it would be awkward, and it would not show the charm of the song at all.

Bob Dylan's original version is full of vicissitudes and weariness to expound and criticize the violent nature of the movie characters, because it is a film soundtrack, and the tune is relatively loose.

This kind of memoransical talk is also not suitable for the performance of Jonas and Kostler, who practiced for hours today and still seemed incongruous and could not find a feeling.

Therefore, Jonas finally decided to use the adaptation of the gun flower version to interpret the song "Knocking on Heaven's Gate".

In Jonas's opinion, the version of Gunflower is the most perfect, far surpassing Bob Dylan's original song. But if you want to deduce it, it's not so easy.

First of all, they don't find that many musicians and instruments, and they play all kinds of instruments in school, but keyboardists and drummers don't.

The piano and the keyboard are not the same thing at all, the one who plays the keyboard will definitely play the piano, but the one who plays the piano will not necessarily have the keyboard.

And the role of the drummer in the rock version of "Knocking on Heaven's Gate" is also very obvious, without the drummer, the explosive power of this song is far from enough.

On the train to school, Jonas synthesized the Gunflower version of the song from memory with Avril's version, and decided to complete the song with two guitars, a drummer, a piano, and a female voice.

This drummer is not a drum kit, but a tambourine kit, and Dinah has been organizing and tambourine since she was a child, so Jonas pulled her in as well.

Dinah was used to Theresa's presence, and there was no-for-tat when she saw her. When he saw Jonas, he pointed to the score and asked, "Jonas, the rhythm of a tambourine can't perfectly connect the turn of the chorus, it's still a little too monotonous." However, when Kostler plays guitar accompaniment, he still likes to dominate. ”

Jonas introduced Theresa with a smile and said, "This is the rhythmic guitar accompaniment and female accompaniment I found, Theresa." ”

The two men rolled their eyes, and Theresa grinned. "I'll see, what kind of song it is. ”

Dinah handed her the score and said, "Jonas is a great arrangement, but it's very difficult to get it perfect. ”

""Knocking on the Door of Heaven, I don't remember this song, wait for me first. ”

Theresa picked up Kostler's guitar and watched the score play for a while, and although it was a little unfamiliar and incoherent, most of the notes were correct.

After playing a song in fits and starts, Theresa muttered and said, "I don't think there's any need to go through the trouble, just the guitar accompaniment seems to be pretty good!"

Kostler shook his head and said, "If it's you singing, a guitar will suffice." But when I sing with Jonas, I have to be more explosive. In response to violence and war, if the outburst of men is not enough, the emotion of the song is insufficient. ”

Theresa's musical sense should still be the best among several people, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, she can play the guitar at the age of seven, and now she is still the lead singer of the music club, and now she is also the heroine of the musical cat arranged by the school.

In contrast, Jonas and they are all amateurs.

She thought about Kostler's words, nodded and said, "There are no professional drum kits at school, but I know that Isabella's African tambourine skills are very high. If you pull her in, it should make up for the defect that a tambourine rhythm is too weak. And I think it's not enough to be the only one with Dinah, and it's almost the same with her. ”

Isabella is only fifteen years old this year, and she belongs to the third grade, that is, the third year of junior high school, she doesn't have to organize her own graduation ceremony program, and it shouldn't be a big problem to pull her in.

"Isabella I'll go and say, you and Kostler have a discussion about who is the lead and who is the rhythm of the two people. ”

Kostler took the initiative and said: "Theresa, your guitar skills are better than mine, and I still need to sing, so I will be in charge of the rhythm guitar." ”

Theresa said uncompromisingly, "Yes, I also like to play the lead note." Let me familiarize myself with it, and let's play it out in a moment and see what needs to be improved. Jonas, you go to Isabella, and when you come back, explain to me when you have such a high level of adaptation. ”

The remark was a joke, of course, and Jonas rolled his eyes, got up and said, "Okay, I'll go find Isabella now." ”

"Remember to ask her to bring a tambourine and ask her to help me get my guitar while Kayla is in the dorm. ”

Jonas got up again and asked a few people before finding Isabella in the small library who was studying German.

Isabella has lived in Portugal since she was a child, knows Portuguese and French, the school is generally French, but students are required to master three foreign languages, German is the main language in Switzerland, and most of the school books are German, so she also chose German as a third language.

When Jonas heard Jonas's request, she readily agreed, and even felt a little happy about it.

Jonas knew very well that it was his handsome face that attracted her, but he didn't dare to take her seriously when he thought of her father, who had killed hundreds of thousands of people.

If this is stained, it will be a wet hand into the flour pile, and you can't shake it off.

She went to Theresa's dormitory first, asked Kayla to get Theresa's guitar, and then went back to her dorm room and took out a tambourine with one, two, and three tambourine.

Jonas hurriedly brought Theresa's guitar to her, and held the three drums in his arms.

In the training room, with Theresa, who has a higher level of music, Dinah and Kostler have no disputes, and under Teresa's arrangement, the three of them will pull out their respective scores and play in an ensemble according to the rhythm given by Teresa.

"Jonas, Kostler said you're going to raise four keys to play this song?"

Jonas nodded. "Yes, Bob Dylan's voice is not good, so his interpretation is the kind of narration that carries a painful memory. But because of the loose tune, the true charm of the song is not shown. We are young people, and Kostler and I both have better voices than him, so we have to express our emotions in an accusatory way. ”

"I don't know the original song, maybe I should listen to it. ”

Jonas brought a square stool for Isabella and placed it next to Dinah to help her take out the tambourine. "It's not a good idea and will definitely affect your true judgment. ”

Isabella set up a tambourine, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him on the forehead. "Thank you, Jonas. ”

"No, I should thank you. It was also a gentle smile that made Isabella even happier.

Dinah whispered in her ear, "Believe me, Isabella, Jonas is not a good man, don't be deceived by his pretty face." ”

Isabella shrugged her shoulders and said, "He's handsome enough, I'm only fifteen years old, and I don't want to get married." ”

Dinah had nothing more to say. "Okay, come on, let's get acquainted with the rhythm. The song is in sixty-four beats......"

Theresa doesn't see Isabella as an opponent, and her relationship with Jonas is coming to an end as school life ends.

For students of their age, the imminent entry into college is the end, and marriage is still a distant thing.

She compared the score of Avril Avril and the Spearflower version and said, "Jonas, this lyrical version of the score has been given to me. ”

"No problem, C is not suitable for male voices in the first place. ”

"Then why did you make this version?"

"To cater to the teacher and Principal Gray......"

In this aristocratic school, rock and roll was still the music that was excluded. However, Avril's lyrical version is not suitable for male voices, it is too slow, and the key is relatively low.

The song by the Gun Flower Band is in the key of G5, while Avril is only in the key of C, and it is relatively fast.

Jonas also doesn't feel guilty about piracy, as the song has been around for a decade in the first place. Whether it's Gunhua or Avril, they are all later adaptations.

Jonas clapped his hands and said, "Thank you so much Dinah, Theresa, Isabella for coming and helping me and Kostler with our graduation show, I thank you all." Over the next few days, we'll familiarize ourselves with the song, practice the drum sheet and guitar sheet separately, and then we'll have ensemble rehearsals when we come back from the United States. ”

Theresa said, "I'm going to have a big meal. ”

Isabella also joined in the fun and said, "Jonas, you're going to invite me to your graduation party, right?"

"Of course, I'll have my graduation reception at my home in mid-May, and I'll invite you to it then. ”
