Chapter Eighty-Three: Choral Practice

Not to mention Ning Xiupei, even the two sisters Song Zixuan can hear that the piano accompaniment that Qin Fangge made is obviously much better than the previous version, and the layers are quite rich. If you pull it out alone, it is also a pretty good piano piece, with distinct layers of voices, chasing and staggering, with the flavor of canon.

Ning Xiupei didn't pay much attention to Chen Jianfen's emotions, and only asked Qin Fangge, "You are really complicated enough, how should the chorus be arranged?"

Qin Fangge had already imagined it completely in his heart, and immediately said his thoughts.

As soon as he said a few words, Ning Xiupei asked him to wait first, Qin Fangge was surprised, Ning Xiupei called her nearest twin sister Song Zimo to bring the DV that was put aside, and the little girl agreed with a smile.

Ning Xiupei explained, "You don't have that much time to come to the choir in the future, so let's record it first, and we'll practice slowly later." ”

Qin Fangge nodded, and said in his heart that this was the best, it would save his time.

Song Zimo quickly brought the DV over, and did not forget to take the opportunity to express her opinion, "Big brother is so powerful!"

Qin Fangge smiled, "You are all very good! You sing very well, I believe you can win the first place." ”

Ning Xiupei turned on the DV and laughed at them, "Don't praise each other, it's important to do business......"

Qin Fangge also restrained his smile and said that his own thoughts, the first two leading singers remained the same, but they could add harmony. The latter part of the main song is going to be complicated, to the piano accompaniment he just made, a few children's voices first, contralto and mezzo-soprano, soprano, bass and baritone, tenor join the round singing in turn, he also added a lot of changes in this, the piano accompaniment alone can't meet the demand, it depends on Ning Xiupei's conductor. In the final climactic chorus, he also tweaked the bass and contralto parts to give it a more bodied feel.

This is still a compromise he made considering the difficulties of the actual rehearsal. Despite this, Ning Xiupei and the members of the choir listened to it, and they all had the feeling that Qin Fangge was playing with them, and it was too difficult to really sing.

After listening to him, Ning Xiupei didn't say anything else, and asked him how to arrange it if it was so complicated.

Qin Fangge smiled and said, "It's okay! The most complicated thing is afraid that you won't dare to take it out." I think it's good to be specific to each person? Everyone is responsible for their own part, as long as they listen to the sound accurately, and sing it accurately when it is time to sing, with the tacit understanding that you have been doing for so long, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but it just takes some patience and practice. ”

"You have to start and finish, and you're responsible for assigning everyone's tasks. "Ning Xiupei is lazy, and she is also very open.

Qin Fangge thought to himself that it would definitely be a mess for you to do this, and he had to come in person.

Fortunately, everyone has a score in their hands, and under the faithful record of the DV in Ning Xiupei's hand, Qin Fangge first picked out the students of each voice part, and asked their names if they didn't know each other, and then assigned them the tasks of each voice and when to sing. He even put forward hopes for their breathing style, pitch, feelings, articulation and other aspects when singing, in his words, "If you sing like this, it should sound better." ”

To match each part, he also demonstrated it on the piano, reminding them when to join in and how to pitch it. On a piano with a tuned ear, these are standard. Moreover, Qin Fangge also asked them to use the piano as a benchmark, instead of watching when the other members sang before starting, otherwise, it would easily cause a chain reaction.

As a result, the level requirements for piano players are quite high, which is also a helpless thing, if there is no standard reference, the chorus of the choir is more likely to get out of control and out of tune.

Chen Jianfen didn't have the heart to think about other things at all, so he just threw away distracting thoughts and focused on the piano. Fortunately, Qin Fangge didn't ask her to play this time, otherwise she would definitely have to lose face.

When Qin Fangge was playing the piano, he would also work with Ning Xiupei to correct the non-standard pronunciation of the choir members, and when a few members came who were unwell during their periods, Qin Fangge told them not to follow the practice, just listen to it first, and then have the opportunity to practice.

If you want to say that the whole choir, the heaviest task is still the two sisters who lead the singing, and they have their share in the entire chorus song, and once the two of them make a mistake, it is very likely that they will fall into the ditch later, although Qin Fangge is already trying his best to find a way to avoid such a thing. However, it makes sense for Ning Xiupei to choose them as the lead singer, first of all, they are very talented, and secondly, their children's voices that have not changed their voices are as mellow as nature, and the lead singer is the most suitable.

All the changes that Qin Fangge made to the choir after singing were all based on this foundation.

Qin Fangge also admires boys' voices, and feels a little more expressive, many children's choirs in Europe are basically men, but the national conditions are different, and most of the choirs in Asia are girls.

He pointed out the country, and he was in a hurry, and it took almost an hour to toss to end, or the result of him lowering his requirements, and it was not realistic to eat a fat doll in one bite.

Ning Xiupei was very prescient, after the individual training for each voice part, she asked everyone to gather and rehearse all of them, and she didn't turn off the DV, so she asked Chen Jianfen, who was temporarily idle, to help shoot it.

Fortunately, the two sisters of Song Zixuan had a fantastic and perfect start, but soon when they joined the round singing in turn, because a girl in the first year of junior high school didn't know whether she was nervous or what, she didn't listen to the accurate tone or according to her previous habits, and she grabbed a fork, which seemed very abrupt this time.

This is not bad, there are endless problems in the later round singing, some forget the words, and some are taken out of tune by others, in short, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

In such a situation, the members of the choir themselves felt a little embarrassed, Qin Fangge and Ning Xiupei were okay, they didn't mind, and as they continued, Ning Xiupei also began to remind them loudly.

When I did it again, the situation was much better than the first time, but there were still a lot of questions, and when Qin Fangge rearranged this song, he didn't expect them to be able to practice the best at once.

After practicing a few times, the progress was slow, Ning Xiupei didn't see the time early, and after praising them a few words, he announced that he would disband, and let them go back to ponder their voices on their own, and strive to have an excellent performance in the next training.

Qin Fangge also made another request, asking them to familiarize themselves with the other parts of the whole song in order to better cooperate with each other.

I don't know if it's out of trust in him or forced by Ning Xiupei's face, anyway, these boys and girls all nodded and agreed.

The choir members said goodbye to their teachers and seniors, and then left the music room one after another.

"Chorus is not that simple, right?" Ning Xiupei asked Qin Fangge with a smile.

"yes, it's much easier to sing a solo than to that. Qin Fangge replied, he had been bothered just now.

Ning Xiupei said, "Solo singing is not much help for the improvement of students' overall entertainment level, and if you organize a chorus, you should be able to understand more things." ”

Qin Fangge nodded yes, Chen Jianfen would also ask Qin Fangge for the score for piano accompaniment, although she had heard him play it so many times, she already remembered it, but she always felt that it would be more reliable to have a score.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I should have written it first. Qin Fangge apologized to her.

"Don't worry, give it to me anytime. Chen Jianfen said with a smile that through less than two hours of contact, she had a new understanding of Qin Fangge. I feel that he went to Yanjing willfully, and he really learned a lot of things, and the whole person has become more mature and stable, no wonder Ning Xiupei is so happy every day after he comes back.

Qin Fangge said, "I'll send you your email as soon as possible, and Mr. Chen will print it by himself!"

Of course, Chen Jianfen said that there was no problem.

After dealing with the matter on Chen Jianfen's side, Qin Fangge found that the twin sisters were the only ones left in the entire choir and did not leave, and the more lively sister Song Zimo was fiddling with the DV there, and he couldn't help asking, "Are they not going home?"

Chen Jianfen smiled, "Don't you know? They studied music with Teacher Ning." ”

Qin Fangge shook his head, Ning Xiupei really hadn't told him about it, but it was all a minutiae.

Ning Xiupei turned back to discuss with Qin Fangge, "The choir of the junior high school, we chose this song "Mother of the Motherland", and we have to choose another one, we are thinking about choosing another beautiful and cheerful song, what do you think?"

"Very good! A main theme song is necessary, and the other thing that everyone likes is good. Qin Fangge also understands the unspoken rules of this kind of choral art festival, and the title is clearly written "Chinese Dream"!

Ning Xiupei said, "I think the song "Sky City" you wrote is very good, or it seems quite appropriate to fill in the lyrics and do a chorus." ”

"As long as you think it's appropriate, I have no opinion!" Qin Fangge has an eight-hundred-person chorus version of "Sky City" in his head, and a symphonic version is also everything, and there is no problem with making a forty-person choir version.

Song Zimo's little face was full of surprise, "Is it a song written by the eldest brother himself?"

Qin Fangge nodded, it seemed that Ning Xiupei hadn't preached it everywhere yet.

Chen Jianfang didn't know how to express his surprise, "Teacher Ning really taught a good son, the previous piano accompaniment was so well written, and he could also write beautiful piano songs." Why don't you play it first?"

Song Zimo hurriedly encouraged her sister Song Zixuan to slap her face, and said, "Teacher Ning thinks it's good, it must not be wrong!"

Song Zixuan also complained, "Teacher Ning is so biased, he didn't tell us about the big brother who can compose piano music." ”

Ning Xiupei laughed, "He's stiff, his wings are stiff, and he hides a lot of things from me!

The two sisters immediately turned their eyes to him, Qin Fangge smiled and changed the topic, "You're all hungry, I'll finish playing first and then go to dinner together!"
