Chapter 678: Liang Zhu

These emotions are the best for Lin Baoqing to understand and master this music. [Fast update, refreshing website pages, few ads, I like this kind of website the most, be sure to praise]. The update is so fast. In other words, it is this music that evokes many associations with her.

Maybe everyone feels different when they listen to this kind of music, but no matter what, Lin Baoqing admits that this is a very good piece of music that can be called a classic.

Lin Baoqing practiced for an unknown amount of time, but she didn't see Qin Fangge come in to find her, and she didn't care, so she took the initiative to stop and see how the situation was on his side. She is also very much looking forward to adapting such a musical work into a folk music ensemble, helping their orchestra get out of the new predicament, and also giving them something to do during the winter vacation.

When she came out to watch, Qin Fangge was still immersed in the computer to create, this will be the desktop computer he uses, this is much cooler than a laptop, not only the response speed, but also the speed at which he inputs it is much faster.

Lin Baoqing stood quietly behind him to see how he adapted.

But she soon noticed something unusual, because the melodies and music were not the ones she had just played.

She was still a little skeptical that she had read it wrong, but when she looked at it more closely, she realized that it was indeed a different piece of music. Of course, it is still written for their sisters, such as the combination of suona and sheng guitar, and only their Jinse Huanian Orchestra is equipped.

When she looked closer, she found clues in the name of the document below.

Indeed, it is Liang Zhu.

It's not a 'spring' river 'flower' moonlit night.

This discovery also made Lin Baoqing's mood suddenly 'excited' and 'swing'.

Liang Zhu, you don't have to think about it, you know, it refers to the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

This is also one of the four great love stories in ancient times, along with "The Legend of the White Snake", "Meng Jiang's 'Girl' Crying on the Great Wall" and "The Cowherd Weaving 'Girl'". Liang Zhu is the most charming oral art and national intangible cultural heritage in China, and it is also the only Chinese folklore that has had a wide influence in the world. Since the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, it has been circulated among the people for more than 1,700 years, and it can be said to be a household name in China, and it has spread far-reachingly, and is known as the swan song of love through the ages. From ancient times to the present, countless people have been infected by the tragic love between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

Lin Baoqing has a very deep understanding of traditional culture and folk music, and such a classic love story is naturally created by musicians with this theme. However, the musical works created are not very good, and they have not been unanimously recognized by everyone.

Qin Fangge's choice of such themes for creation, of course, is what she likes to see.

Moreover, it can be seen that Qin Fangge is relatively selfless, and it was created for their orchestra, and the familiar instrument combinations are only configured by their orchestra.

Lin Baoqing also understands that if you want to read, deeply understand, and play this music well, you must have an extraordinary understanding of the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

According to legend, during the Western Jin Dynasty in China, the young student Liang Shanbo quit his home to study, and met Zhu Yingtai, a student who was dressed as a man, and the two hit it off at first sight, like-minded, so they became brothers in Caoqiao, and then went to study at Hongluoshan Academy. In the academy, the two get along day and night, and their relationship is getting deeper. Three years later, Yingtai returned home, and Shanbo sent each other for eighteen miles, and the two said goodbye. [Super good] Shanbo was instructed by his wife, and brought the butterfly 'jade' fan left by Yingtai to Zhu's house to propose marriage and was rejected, and after returning home, he was sad and angry, and he couldn't afford to be ill and died. Yingtai heard that Shanbo died for himself, and he was grief-stricken. Soon, the Ma family came to marry, and Yingtai was forced to get into the sedan chair with anger. The 'flower' sedan chair detoured to the tomb of Liang Shanbo, Yingtai insisted on getting off the sedan chair, crying and worshiping the dead, died due to excessive grief, and was buried on the east side of the tomb of Shanbo; Liang Zhuhua butterfly double dance.

There are many versions of this beautiful, poignant and moving love story, and it has also been verified and written by countless experts and scholars. There are countless places competing for the hometown of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

However, the public is more concerned about Liang Zhu's poignant love story, and in the end, both turned into butterflies, flying like wings, and they can be regarded as lovers who eventually become married, although it is not in reality.

But for people who are engaged in art and love music, such a dreamy ending is the most beautiful, with a tragic color, but it is unique and has countless shining points.

Think about Meng Jiang's 'girl', the legend of the white snake, and the 'girl' of the Cowherd weaving, although they are also relatively classic love stories, especially the 'girl' of the cowherd weaving, which is familiar to countless people, and countless poets have taken this as the theme. There are also stars in the sky, the Cowherd Star and the Weaving 'Girl' Star, as well as the vast Milky Way, in the rich imagination of the broad masses of people, everything is like a dream.

However, compared to violating the rules of heaven or something, the tragedy of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai is more in line with reality, because the "door" does not understand, the so-called "door" is not the right household, and there are so many couples who have been separated, not to mention in feudal society, even in modern times, everyone's minds are open, many things are still deep-rooted, and the tragedy is still repeating. It is precisely because of this that the appeal to the audience will be stronger, and it will resonate more than the love between immortals and mortals.

After Qin Fangge finished this paragraph, he stopped, and also turned around and said to her with a smile, "I'm tired after standing for a long time! ”

Lin Baoqing hurriedly responded, "I'm not tired, it's good that I didn't disturb your creation." This is a new piece you've written for our sisters?"

After she asked, she thought the question was silly.

"Yes, do you want to take a look first?" Qin Fangge said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down. Of course, this guy didn't have any good intentions, so Lin Baoqing sat directly on his 'lap'.

"Well, my husband is amazing! I would like to thank my husband for my sisters. Lin Baoqing nodded and didn't think so much, so he pulled him and sat down. She also just wanted to take a good look at the new music, although she could guess the content from the title, and there was a world of difference between a closer look and a guess.

Qin Fangge stretched her cheeks and asked her if she had any rewards or anything like that, but she only got two hums, her main attention was already focused on the new music, and her hands were even more 'manipulating' the computer. What she wants to see most is the score, so it is easy to judge where the creation progress of the whole music has been, and if she asks Qin Fangge, it will definitely not be as good as watching it herself.

Qin Fangge knows this music well, and of course he doesn't mean to watch it with her, not to mention, he also knows that Lin Baoqing definitely prefers to read it by himself.

Lin Baoqing did not object, and Qin Fangge, who was extremely thick-skinned, took her by default and took the gift by herself. He first wrapped it around her waist, thin, soft, and very 'good' to the touch. He moved gently, Lin Baoqing didn't care too much, and she didn't have time to pay attention to this side, she had already skillfully found the score under the same folder named Liang Zhu, and clicked to open it.

Different from the more scattered and 'chaotic' "Jin Se Hua Nian", this "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" has a very rigorous structure and uses a more formal sonata style.

Such a structure does not affect the content of the music, let alone conflict with national music.

Lin Baoqing is also more open-minded, and she does not cling to the inadequate, she feels that the introduction of all aspects of Western music into national music is also the trend of the development of the times. Throughout the history of the development of national music, various other ethnic and regional musical instruments have been continuously added, and finally they have been integrated by traditional culture, and finally formed music with very national characteristics.

Their sister bands were formed on this basis, and not only that, they were more fashionable, but they also tried to incorporate more of the spirit of the times.

Judging from the total score, Qin Fangge has completed the whole piece.

And Lin Baoqing is sure that such a huge structure and content, 'exquisite' ingenious conception, and beautiful melody will definitely not be completed overnight. It couldn't have been done just now, he must have been preparing for a very long time.

If you think about it carefully, he hasn't written a folk music ensemble for her sisters in the months since the completion of "Jin Se Hua Nian". It turned out that he was preparing for such a masterpiece with his heart, and I am afraid that he had already expected the situation that their orchestra would face after the performance of "Jin Se Hua Nian".

Knowing this, it also made her heart feel full, warm happiness and sweetness, Lin Baoqing was very happy, not only for herself, but also for her good sisters, the dreams they wanted to realize together. She also firmly believes that Qin Fangge's kindness to them, and the hard work and efforts he has put into them are far from being what their abilities can give.

For his little action, Lin Baoqing also regarded it as a reward for him, and it seemed that in addition to making a personal promise, they couldn't give him anything better.

The current Lin Baoqing is also in the case of Qin Fangge's demons, and he can't hold back the strange but comfortable feeling. Let's go through the score in general first, which is also her usual practice.

The piece is divided into three main sections: the presentation section, the expansion section, and the final repetition section.

The musical image created by Qin Fangge is also particularly obvious, with a super sense of musicality, and Lin Baoqing, who is very familiar with the stories of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, can understand the general musical image he wants to express at the first time. More details, more connotations, can only be excavated and discovered when we slowly study it.

The introductory part is written about the scene, and it also points out the theme of the whole music, the eternal love. Sweet, beautiful, 'wavering', but also sad, helpless, melancholy and so on.

Lin Baoqing has a deep understanding of this, because she is experiencing it now.

The main part is in a single trilogy style, depicting Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai Caoqiao worshipping, and at the same time, the theme of love is reproduced. It highlights the deepening of the sincere and pure friendship between Liang Zhu and the deep affection of mutual admiration.

This is a piece of music about love, Lin Baoqing had such an awareness before, but when she really looked at it, she found that her previous expectations and assumptions were not as rich as Qin Fangge's imagination, and the theme of love also hit her heart.

The connecting part is a free brilliance, 'waves', gorgeous, all kinds of musical instruments shine here, expressing their understanding and praise of love.

In such a part of Li, the melody contrasts sharply with the theme of love, and Lin Baoqing feels that it is a bit like the evolution of Yue opera, but the rhythm is freer and the changes are more 'fine'.

Qin Fangge has been absorbing nutrients from folk music, and adding the elements of Yue Opera will not make people feel that there is anything wrong, but will add more 'color'. And his consistent style is to learn from others.

The secondary part uses a rondo form, and the melody played by the erhu is lively and jumping, and it 'alternates' with the score of the whole orchestra. In this way, it vividly expresses the happy life of Liang Zhu's classmates for three years, reading and playing together. In this paragraph, Lin Baoqing completely substituted herself, and now she and Qin Fangge can be regarded as classmates, and their life at school is also extremely beautiful, and it is extraordinarily sweet.

The music at the end shifts to a slow movement, and there is once again an affectionate dialogue between the main theme and the orchestra, but the main theme is played on the lute. Among them, the intermittent tone expresses the inner emotions of Zhu Yingtai, who is a 'woman' dressed as a man, who 'wants' and stops, contradictory and shy. It shows the scene of eighteen send-offs, long pavilions, and reluctance.

After seeing this paragraph, the sensitive Lin Baoqing could already anticipate the tragic part behind, because the good times of love in the previous were all over, and the whole heart became solemn, as if someone pressed her heart with her hand.

The folded opening part describes the three episodes of "anti-marriage", "balcony meeting", "crying spirit, accusation, and throwing to the grave".

In the plot of anti-marriage, the general score marks the feelings of the performance, which are 'colorful', grim, 'gloomy', and depressing, which is mainly for the orchestra conductor.

It is conceivable that the double bass, guqin, dulcimer, etc., must be played with a grim rhythm and a 'gloomy' tone, symbolizing the fierce and cruel theme of the feudal forces; the main theme of this section is played by the three strings, and the rhythm of the loose board is used to state the grief and panic of the British and Taiwanese, and the strong allegro of the orchestra sets off the theme of the three strings' resolute opposition to the feudal forces. These two themes gradually 'intensified', forming a scene of resentment against marriage in Britain and Taiwan. Although the orchestra played in full, it once gave people a yearning and longing for a happy life, but the feudal forces represented by the double bass gave great pressure.

The plot of "The Balcony Meeting" is another adagio, the main theme and the overall response of the orchestra, lingering and sad, like a crying tone, vividly express the emotions of Liang Zhu's 'intersection' when he met on the balcony.

When it came to "crying, accusing, and throwing himself into the grave", the foreshadowing was developed to the extreme.

Lin Baoqing can see that the changes in this use of the Peking Opera guide board and the slow singing of Yue Opera are used to profoundly express the scene of Yingtai's bloody and tearful accusation against feudal etiquette in front of the grave.

Finally, in the concerted performance of the orchestra, Zhu Yingtai threw himself into the grave, and the music reached the highest 'tide'.

The folded reproduction section mainly describes the "butterfly". The flute plays a soft and colorful melody, and the glissandos of the sheng complement each other, leading people to a mythical fairyland. The theme of love was played again, showing that after Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai died under the oppression of feudal forces, they turned into a pair of butterflies and flew happily and freely in the 'flowers'.
