Chapter 1286: Folk Songs

After talking, laughing, and having a good meal, Chen Tianhong and the others took Qin Fangge for a walk around the campus, saying that they would accompany them to eat and exercise after dinner to maintain a good figure. This reason is that several of their girls really believe it, Chen Tianhong also cited Chen Yushan as an example, they communicate with her a lot, knowing that she now maintains a considerable amount of exercise every day, she practices dance is a very good way, if she wants to hold a concert, she also has to learn some dance, these skills are more and better.

Moreover, Chen Yushan's words are more self-disciplined than them, and even the diet is the same, which is also something they can't do. Chen Yushan's reason is that so much money can't be spent in vain, the company's investment in her before and after is quite huge, and the final benefit of shaping a good figure is also herself.

And Chen Tianhong and Huang Jing don't have such good conditions at present, if they all come according to Chen Yushan's standards, Qin Fangge can be bankrupt, and they will also joke about it.

After the walk, everyone still went to engage in art, Chen Tianhong was still sighing, "In fact, our piano practice is also exercise, and the physical strength consumed is also quite a lot, but unfortunately this kind of exercise cannot shape a good figure, but it may cause occupational diseases." ”

Huang Jing called her, "You and Qin Fangge learn more massage techniques, and help us relieve it when the time comes." ”

This matter has actually been mentioned a long time ago, but the problem is that it is difficult to persevere, Qin Fangge also said that it is not difficult to learn this, so that they can help each other in progress, and health is the most important.

Kanako asked him, "I heard Sister Shanshan say that you have to practice boxing tomorrow morning, right?"

Qin Fangge hehele, "Who told me to have a martial arts dream!"

Qian Shuyuan and the others are of course happy to see this, "With a martial arts master like you, they are much more at ease when they go out together!"

"It's okay at home! If I go abroad, I can only ......admit it," Qin Fangge said with a smile, "After all, no matter how high the martial arts are, they will be knocked down by one shot!"

The girls have heard a lot about this now, and they don't think that foreign countries are paradise like in the past, Chen Tianhong also smiled, "Being able to bend and stretch is a big husband, it's not good to be strong!"

Qian Shuyuan laughed at Chen Tianhong, "Sure enough, Tianhong knows him best!"

"You guys are so dirty, I can't understand anything!" Huang Jing said with a smile, giggling all the way to classroom 201 first. There are few people in the classroom, Song Xian's guzheng has been moved, and no one is there, Xie Xiaojuan, who practices the dulcimer, told Qin Fangge to let him wait and go directly to the upstairs classroom to find Song Xian. There are no rehearsals at night, and girls who live at home and have no classes at night, such as Wang Zizi and Pan Lina, they can go home to practice, and they don't grab space with others.

After Qin Fangge stayed for a while in 201, she went upstairs to meet Song Xian, she majored in guzheng, and had previously communicated with Qin Fangge about her outlook for birthday gifts. The two of them are no strangers to this, and in the creation process of the previous new folk music ensemble "Jin Se Hua Nian", Qin Fangge also asked them to come up with their own motives and themes, and then handed over the rest to him to complete.

Song Xian is from Yunnan, which is also the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities, but she is of Han nationality like Qin Fangge, but she has been exposed to more Yunnan folk music since she was a child, and there are all ethnic groups, mainly folk songs, and instrumental music is much less. Song Xian, like Lin Baoqing, is a calm, quiet and peaceful character, she also really loves national music, and she has accumulated more music types.

After being admitted to the Huaxia Conservatory of Music, she also wanted to do what she could for her hometown, but she had her own performance level, but her creative ability was limited, which was Qin Fangge's strength. She is responsible for providing him with raw materials, and she is very researched about Yunnan's folk music, and she also does classification.

There are many folk songs in Yunnan, but there are both elegant and vulgar, and the first thing ordinary people can think of is "The Old Driver Takes Me" and "Two Mother-in-law and One Lang" and other "Divine Comedy", but for art workers, the vision is naturally higher, and folk songs like "The Moon Comes Out and Shines" are also very famous. Of course, songs like the moon comes out and shine brightly are also sung about love and love, brother and sister, love, and it is also the eternal theme of art.

Or take a step back and say, those more vulgar, lower riba people's songs are actually the real reactions of people's hearts, but they are too vulgar and direct, which makes people dare not look at them directly. Qin Fangge's own words did not have a critical and contemptuous attitude, well, his own personal style was not very good, and he was not qualified to say that others came.

In addition to the content of **** marriage, Yunnan folk songs have many major events in history, all aspects of life, wedding and funeral etiquette, labor, harvest, festivals, etc., all of which have the most direct response in folk songs.

Song Xian also pointed out the seriousness of the matter now, "I feel that with the acceleration of the urbanization process in the countryside, these folk songs are gradually disappearing, not to mention creation, and even passing them down seems to be a problem." ”

Qin Fangge nodded, he also knew this, "Now that young people have gone to the city, no one wants to suffer hardship and poverty in the countryside, and it is inevitable that there will be problems in the inheritance and development of folk songs and music." Your Yunnan side should be slightly better, and the situation in other provinces is even more serious, which is the trend of the times, and we can only say that we are doing our best. ”

Song Xian agreed, "It's pretty good that we can do this, and I don't think we can change this situation on our own! ”

"It's too big a theme, so let's take our time and do what we can, like write this Guzheng Concerto first. You're singing very well, sing two verses to listen, maybe you can get more inspiration!" Qin Fangge suggested.

Song Xian rolled his eyes, Qin Fangge also smiled and said that there was nothing to be embarrassed about, saying that she would definitely feel better if she listened to it a lot since she was a child, "Even if I get the lyrics of the music score, I don't have the experience of living over there, and it's not realistic to want to sing the right taste." ”

Song Xian also asked him not to laugh at her, Qin Fangge promised that he wouldn't, and also said that what he said was the truth. Then, Song Xian no longer twisted, and she had the right to sight-sing and ear training, which was also to be sung, and Qin Fangge also encouraged them to sing in their mouths when they practiced. Those masters are the same, and even in the recording, you can hear the humming sound in the mouths of many masters, which is a very normal thing, and there is no shame at all.

The importance of folk songs is self-evident, it is the core and foundation of Yunnan music, and it is also an important part of national song and dance music. Song Xian felt that Qin Fangge was very merciful if she didn't let her dance, she was extremely unconfident in her body shape, although she tried hard to lose weight but had little effect, and she didn't think about dancing at all. In Yunnan's folk music, dance is also a very important link, and there are many famous dancers from Yunnan.

Qin Fangge really didn't laugh at her, there was no need for this at all, and he was not the kind of person who particularly loved poisonous tongues. And the first song Song Xian sang was "The Moon Comes Out and Shines Brightly", her singing skills are average, also because she has not undergone professional vocal training. She has a high note, but in the processing of the high note, it is still very sloppy, and it is more based on the natural pitch of a girl, and it is not tactful and melodious at all, but when she sings, there is no original flavor of a folk song in it. Just like ordinary farmers and mountain people, when they sing such songs, they have not undergone professional vocal training, and they basically rely on their talents, and they think more by themselves.

Qin Fangge also had a lot of feelings after listening to it, in another time and space, this folk song from the Bai nationality in Dali was collected and sorted out, renamed "Little River Flowing Water", and later it was also known as the Oriental Serenade, and many singers have sung it. This is still quite different from the version sung by Song Xian, of course, in Qin Fangge's opinion, this is understandable. Originally, when such a folk song is circulating, there will be great changes, whether it is the lyrics or the melody, different people sing it, the style, theme and emotion will be different, there is no need to be consistent, not to mention that the two time and space are different!

There is no doubt that such folk songs are quite valuable musical cultural heritage, and they are not only songs of a single ethnic group, but also the result of the convergence of multi-ethnic styles and cultures, because there are really many versions of them. As a latecomer, you can only select some of them, and this kind of finishing work is not easy, and there is no need to be strict with the organizers to be perfect.

Then, the second song Song Xian sang was "Ridge Tune", as the name suggests, that is, the song sung by the farmers when they were working on the ridges. Not to mention, when she sang this song, she was quite wooden, she studied music in the end, even if it was an instrumental guzheng, and she was quite good at dealing with the emotions in it. What's more, she also said later, "I used to go to my grandmother's house in the countryside and listen to them sing such mountain songs......

Moreover, Song Xian did not shy away from saying, "Among the folk songs, in addition to this, there are also many particularly dirty songs, and it is good for the old driver to take me like this." I have heard that at the red and white wedding banquet, even on the street, there are duets of mountain songs that make children blush. Such a song should be found on the Internet now, and it has been hyped for a while before, just like the two people in the Northeast who turned to meat. ”

Qin Fangge understood this, of course he wouldn't let Song Xian sing this, then he would really become a hooligan. He prides himself on being romantic rather than lewd, and continues to discuss and exchange more Yunnan music with her.

Speaking of Yunnan folk songs, we have to mention the multi-part folk songs, before there were music workers, deep into the mountain villages, more than 10,000 kilometers of travel, on the existing multi-part folk songs of many ethnic minorities were investigated, and specially invited 10 peasant singers of the Hani nationality to Kunming to sing back for a key investigation. It is also known that there are 19 ethnic groups, namely Yi, Hani, Naxi, Lisu, Nu, Dulong, Lahu, Jinuo, Jingpo, Tibetan, Bai (Bani branch), Miao, Yao, Zhuang, Dai, Buyi, Wa, De'ang, Brown and other ethnic groups, which still preserve and circulate multi-part folk songs. In particular, the polyphonic singing of folk songs with more than four voices or even eight voices is rare or absent in various provinces or countries in the world, it is the crystallization of the high wisdom of the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan, and is the treasure of the culture and art of the Chinese nation.

Regarding this, it is recorded in the Chinese music history textbook of Qin Fangge's vocal opera department, especially this kind of Chinese folk songs, which their vocal students should learn more about.

This related information can be found on the Internet and in the library of the conservatory, and it is not realistic for Song Xian to sing. Her meaning is also very clear, just let Qin Fangge create a Guzheng concerto with Yunnan style, and if you do not have any special requirements, you can play freely by Qin Fangge.

As for the Guzheng Concerto, there are many people who learn Guzheng, and there are also composers who are willing to compose. Combining the guzheng with the form of a concerto of Western music is not a problem at all. But if you want to do it perfectly, it is still quite a test of the composer's level. Qin Fangge's own words, he had relevant experience before, and he had already done special homework on the configuration of their orchestra, so there was naturally no problem with the band part.

The form of Yunnan multi-part folk songs can also be used very well in such a guzheng concerto, because a musical instrument can basically represent a voice. He can also give full play to his genius imagination and creativity, and incorporate these musical styles into the newly composed Guzheng Concerto.

It is conceivable that such music, like previous works such as "Pipa Xing", will definitely polarize the evaluation after it is created. Those who like it will like it very much, and those who don't like it will lash out, thinking that "the national music in my mind can't be like this!" and "this is also worthy of being called folk music?" and other comments have also appeared many times after the performance of "Liang Zhu".

But Qin Fangge and Song Xian basically don't care about this, if they really take care of everyone's opinions, they can't make music at all. The inheritance and development of national music will definitely be accompanied by controversy, sometimes very big controversy. Qin Fangge has done quite well now, with the title of musical genius, the controversy caused by it is not so big that the whole people criticize it.

When he discussed with Song Xian, he also made a special mention of the multi-part chorus in folk songs, because he thought it was a very good direction. Song Xian has studied this a lot, and also said her thoughts, their multi-part chorus has a lot of improvisation, singing whatever comes to mind, sometimes it seems completely unrelated, but if you listen carefully, you will feel that there are still inextricable internal connections, and it is also surprisingly harmonious, and finally, it feels like a new form of music has been completely formed. Moreover, such a multi-part choral folk song is not only for a nation, existence is reasonable, and the things in it are worth digging into.
