Chapter 655: Prelude
After Lin Baoqing, the other female members of the orchestra appeared on the stage one by one, all of them were in the prime of their youth, or pure and lovely, or charming and moving, some lively and playful, and some dignified and virtuous, which dazzled people.
When these beauties of different shapes appeared one after another, the warm applause in the concert hall never stopped, and they deserved these applause just by dressing them up carefully.
Fortunately, the stage in the concert hall is relatively large, and they can stand in a row, but they are all crowded. Under the leadership of Zuo Shuqin, they also bowed collectively to the stage, which attracted more enthusiastic applause.
Director Ma Xiaohua must be the busiest person today, after the girls came on stage, he was also urging the male students who helped to adjust the positions of the girls' chairs and several large musical instruments. I did it during the rehearsal before, but I didn't have to be in a hurry.
Qin Fangge really wanted to help, but Ma Xiaohua definitely wouldn't let him go. Wu Yifen and the others also let him stay backstage honestly, Ma Xiaohua originally asked these people in the backstage to go to the concert hall to enjoy their performances, but they didn't want to go.
And Zuo Shuqin didn't say anything after bowing with them, everyone turned around to find their respective positions, and they all seemed to be orderly. The tacit understanding between each other is already very deep, and there is no need to speak at all, just use eye contact to the greatest extent.
In the arrangement of the location, it is also quite particular.
Teng Shuting, the conductor and keyboardist, is in the center of the team, mainly to facilitate her command. Xie Xiaojuan's dulcimer was in front of her.
Huang Jing and Kanazi, Qian Shuyuan, Feng Lulu, and several people have erhu hands concentrated on the left, but they are subdivided. Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu's erhu are in the front and first row, Huang Jing is now in charge of Gao Hu, and in the second row, next to her is Zuo Shuqin's classical guitar. Kanako's Gehu is in the back, and next to it is Li Ruoli and her Sheng.
On the other side, Chen Tianhong's pipa is in the middle near the dulcimer, and Wang Zizi's Zhongruan and Yu Xiaoxia's three strings are in the first row, next to the pipa.
Lin Baoqing's guqin is next to Teng Shuting's keyboard, and next to her is Ye Xiuling's high-pitched suona.
Han Wei's cello is at the back, but better than Pan Lina's, whose drum kit is in the far right corner of the line.
Opposite her, in the left corner is Song Xian's zither, and Xiao Jingru's flute is next to her.
This layout was also carefully considered, and was approved by Qin Fangge, and finally in the gradual practice, it was proved to be the most perfect arrangement for the position of their orchestra.
But during the formal performance, Teng Shuting, the conductor, could not take care of it thoroughly, and mainly relied on her keyboard to conduct it, which also tested the girls' usual practice diligence and dedication. Otherwise, unless she doesn't play and stands up alone to be the conductor.
This is also destined to be very different from ordinary national orchestras.
Of course, they are also engaged in new folk music, as well as classical guitars, keyboards, drums, and other instruments that cannot be seen in other national orchestras. And in the Chinese orchestra, there are also many instruments that they don't have at all.
It is foreseeable that if it is really popular in the future, it will also cause a lot of controversy. For example, whether it is pure folk music, or grandstanding or something, and so on, there will definitely be no less!
Everyone quickly took their places, Teng Shuting also used the keyboard to test the sound gently, and other girls who were not at ease were almost doing the same thing. []
When everything was ready, the applause in the concert hall gradually stopped, and the waiting time was well worth it for the audience.
The girls also signaled that they were ready, and Teng Shuting gave Lin Baoqing a look and asked her to prepare for the opening.
Lin Baoqing nodded lightly, she was already ready, the audience sitting in the front row, and the audience with good eyesight in the back, also saw their every move clearly.
Under the bright and brilliant spotlight, Lin Baoqing does not use powder, she is still bright and moving, she is the purest and most elegant beauty. The most important thing is that her indifferent ambition and quiet temperament deeply attracts everyone.
I saw Lin Baoqing's slender and delicate fingers caressing the strings, and the guqin, which has a history of hundreds of years, instantly played melodious and ethereal notes containing ancient rhyme.
With the excellent sound system of the concert hall, it immediately reached everyone's ears, as if it took everyone through time and space at once, to the world where the fragrance of books and the sound of the piano were melodious.
The sporadic applause and other whispers that had previously filled the concert hall vanished as soon as the piano sounded.
The audience was so engrossed that they were even worried that breathing too much would affect the performance on stage.
Qin Fangge in the background, Wu Yifen and the others also heard the sound of the guqin clearly.
Lin Baoqing's profound guqin playing skills, as well as the good temperament she has cultivated since she was a child, have also been perfectly reflected at this moment.
This is the prelude to the whole piece, and it's the most important moment, first of all, you have to get the audience together. Of course, there is also the style and charm that Qin Fangge requires. Even new folk music, elegant, noble, and gorgeous cannot be discarded.
Lin Baoqing is the best candidate, and she did not live up to the expectations of Qin Fangge and her sisters, and played a perfect start.
The sound of the guqin in just ten seconds made everyone realize the powerful charm of folk music.
Wu Yifen, who was backstage, also nodded with satisfaction and looked forward to their follow-up wonderful performances.
Feng Lulu and Qian Shuyuan, who had already prepared and had already held the bowstring, cut in accurately and perfectly at the moment of their performance, and the timing was particularly perfect, the pitch, intensity, and even timbre of the two erhu were so perfect, the same tactful and melodious, and with the unique affinity of the erhu, the erhu closest to the human voice is particularly exciting.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jingru's flute and Li Ruoli's sheng also cut in successively.
The sound of the flute is crisp and the sound of the sheng is luxurious, which adds a special style to the beautiful and moving melody of the guqin. The timbre of these instruments is different, but they are all very harmonious, especially the girls have a tacit understanding, and the cooperation with each other is also very exquisite.
After that, other musical instruments were gradually integrated, and the main theme that Lin Baoqing's guqin has always dominated is also like climbing on the stage, following the rhythm and melody, gradually climbing the peak, and getting higher and higher.
And, at such a high place, whether it is her piano sound or the other sisters' instruments, there is still room for looping and turning, tugging at everyone's heartstrings and stimulating sensitive nerves.
The addition of each musical instrument brings everyone a particularly new and fresh feeling, and it makes people feel that it is the first time to listen to such a folk instrument.
In terms of texture, Qin Fangge's weaving and processing are also different from other folk music, which is particularly exquisite, and the foundation is well built, and the space for expansion is particularly large. He is also particularly adept at dealing with situations that feel like he is building a magnificent palace.
The continuous addition of instruments makes the whole of this prelude more and more fleshed out.
But the melody is still beautiful and beautiful, with various lines and harmonies intertwined and reflecting each other.
Here, Qin Fangge also shows his wealth as a "melody nouveau riche", and all kinds of endless whimsy are realized by him through the musical instruments in the hands of the girls. Wonderful, wonderful, imaginative, dizzying, and highly anticipated.
Whether it is the audience upstairs or downstairs, at this moment, it is really dazzling.
The beautiful scene on the stage is intoxicating, the exquisite costumes, the slender figures, and their serious performances. Even if the girls didn't have time to pay attention to their gaze at all, Lin Baoqing's fingers caressed on the guqin, Huang Jinggao Hu was crying, Pan Linna's drum kit was full of power, Wang Zizi stared at Ruan in his hand affectionately, and Pan Linna's fingers danced on the pipa......
Each instrument shows its own style, but there is no obvious theme or motive, everything seems to be in the service of the melody, for the sake of the ear, for the sake of sound, in order to attract all the attention of the audience.
But all of this is built on a solid foundation, when Qin Fangge was composing, he wanted to leave a deep impression on the audience during the prelude, and various musical instruments were also previewed to expand the audience's imagination.
As for Ye Xiuling's passionate and fierce soprano suona playing the highest note, and Teng Shuting's brilliant treble trumpet simulated by the keyboard perfectly cooperated, all the instruments collectively burst out with the most dazzling brilliance at the moment of climbing to the peak.
The prelude that is about two minutes ahead of this is the first ** of the whole piece.
The ultimate gorgeous and noble, brilliant and dazzling, colorful, and majestic, it seems that all beautiful adjectives can be used here.
Although everyone expected it, it came so quickly, it still exceeded everyone's psychological expectations, and it made them feel the excitement, of course, more and more intense, and then think about it carefully, but it feels reasonable.
After the notes played by all the instruments were in full bloom, the whole quickly fell back, the high-pitched suona disappeared silently, and even Huang Jing's gaohu was silent, only Lin Baoqing's guqin was playing softly, as if echoing her elegant and antique notes at the beginning of the music.
It's as if everything is about to fall silent.
Immediately, some people wanted to applaud, but before they could close the slap.
The dulcimer's unique, crystal clear timbre, which perfectly continues the music of the guqin, calms a little restlessness and uneasiness in the concert hall.
At the beginning, the motivation of the dulcimer was not strong, like a trickle, murmuring, lingering, fresh and elegant.
It seemed that he was about to start playing solo, so everyone's attention was focused on the girl who played the dulcimer.
Xie Xiaojuan was wearing a romantic and noble pure purple dress with suspender and off-the-shoulder tonight, charming and elegant, full of feminine taste.
She is relatively plump, but her skin is particularly good, and the snow-white fragrant shoulders and arms of waving the piano strip also look particularly dazzling in the bright light.
As a child who has studied art, especially this traditional national musical instrument, Xie Xiaojuan's temperament is quite good, not only very good at controlling the color of purple, but also making it like a tiger with wings.
Under You Jiayu's professional design, her hairstyle is also very exquisite, scattered behind her like waves, her face is not beautiful, but it is absolutely durable and graceful.
But the audience undoubtedly paid more attention to the music she played, and after she gave her motivation, Qin Fangge expanded her motivation through various compositional techniques, modeled it in, and finally weaved it into a beautiful, picturesque picture.
Xie Xiaojuan didn't have much confidence in her appearance and figure since she was a child, which also allowed her to concentrate on her musical instruments and music. Her usual practice is also very hard and diligent, and the foundation she has laid is also very solid.
More than ten years of hard practice has given her full confidence and pride on the stage.
Qin Fangge's tailor-made music for her also perfectly demonstrated the dulcimer playing skills she had learned in the past.
The babbling stream became a great river after converging, and gradually it surged, and her playing became rapid and compact, using the technique of wheel playing.
As she played, the audience seemed to be following the river and merging into the wide lake, which rippled and shimmered with sparkling waves, and the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers and the charming scenery of nature made people fascinated. Breaking down the chords brings all this musical image to life.
Then, Xie Xiaojuan used the dulcimer in her hand to show the various performance techniques she learned from elementary school, leading the audience to experience a special musical journey.
The melody is fresh and melodious, the chanting and hooking make the melody deep and mellow, quiet and elegant, the pause is like a horse's hoof stepping lightly, the overtone makes the artistic conception far-reaching, the charm is endless, and the slippery imitation of flowing water and the sound of the waves are as strong as the splashing of a waterfall, the waves are turbulent, and the weak is like a stream flowing in the drizzle.
Drum sound, wood sound, extraction sound, talent sound, percussion board simulation percussion sound, strong as the gong and drum in the festival, weak like the deep mountain temple and the bell and drum tower floating out of the fairy sound elegant music;
Everything is so vivid and picturesque.
Of course, she didn't do all this alone. The musical instruments of the good sisters are also added one after another, setting off the atmosphere, making the texture more vivid and full, and the appeal is gradually increasing.
Xie Xiaojuan should be most grateful to Qian Shuyuan and Feng Lulu, as well as Huang Jing and Kanazi, their erhu, for her gorgeous performance of the dulcimer.
The credit of the other sisters cannot be ignored, and at this moment, they all dare to play supporting roles, highlighting her and her dulcimer.
There is also the composer Qin Fangge, who gave full play to his own rich imagination in this dulcimer concerto, and creatively used his precious creative talent to perfectly organize these performance techniques into a beautiful melody like a song.
