Chapter 999: The Sea, the Sky, the Rivers and Mountains, the Smile of the Breeze
Audiences who are accustomed to listening to Western music feel that Chinese ancient music is a little weird at the moment, but for the musicians present. The antiquity of this prelude alone is breathtaking~
If the arrangement and accompaniment of "Hot Girl" and "My Motherland" just now still have some shadows of Western music.
Then this song "A Laugh in the Sea" is completely from another unique voice.
Pavarotti and Elvis Presley, at this time, understood in their hearts why Su Huai only used three instruments to accompani, the Europa Symphony, the ensemble of various instruments, the sound was full and full, and the lack of no sound area was better than the word "all".
However, the Chinese musical instruments are ethereal and far-reaching, with an interval between each note in the middle, and the beauty is in the word "empty", just like the blank space in an ink painting.
The two of them had already taken a high look at Su Huai, but at this moment, they felt more and more that the Chinese music that Su Shengren was carrying was really unfathomable.
It's a rhythm that's very different from their Europa musical tradition, but different from that of African music.
Europa's music is brilliant and gorgeous, like the humming of a hymn, and the rhythm of African music is changeable, which is amazing, but when it comes to the deep and long-lasting rhyme, it is not as good as Chinese music.
Both of them secretly admired in their hearts, this kind of Chinese music sounds a little messy at first glance, but when you taste it carefully, there is a peculiar sense of harmony.
This is like the mountains and flowing water, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, insects and birds, and the natural sounds of heaven and earth are integrated.
Just listening to the music, it gives people a surprising sense of nature.
Kirk and Russell and others in the first row of VIPs are all more and more solemn, it seems that there are not only documents in the Ming Tomb, but also some information on traditional musical instruments?
These three musical instruments are obviously restored cultural relics, and this score is only afraid of being handed down in Chinese literature...... That's why it's so charming.
The two looked at Chairman Fan together, but found that Chairman Fan was even more surprised than him, and was muttering:
"This is the song 'Mountains and Flowing Water' in "Liezi"...... Or the legendary Guanglingsan?"
These two capitals are recorded in the documents of the Ming Tomb, but there is no musical score handed down.
Could it be that there is still a piano score in Su Huai's "folk materials"?
Just now, the audience was still laughing at the fact that Su Huai's three people had too few musical instruments, but now just the three lost musical instruments in Huaxia obviously left a lot of blanks in the sound, and the volume was far less, but its momentum actually overwhelmed the 97-member symphony orchestra just now!!
After all, no matter how loud and magnificent the music is, where can the enemy be beaten, the majestic sound of mountains, rivers and seas, wind, rain, thunder and lightning......
Even the symphony musicians, who had just stepped off the stage, stopped and looked back at the three people on stage as if they were aliens.
I can't imagine at all, how can they use three pieces of unplugged ancient music to create such a majestic momentum?
At this time, Academician Zhou's voice suddenly came together: "Canghai laughs~surging tide on both sides of the strait~~Ups and downs follow the waves to remember the present day~~"
The audience was stunned when they heard it, the old man's voice was extremely simple, as if he was shouting out, as if he had no skills, he only sang it with some spirit, but he could hear it, but he was full of pride.
Elvis Presley and Pavarotti both stood up with "Teng!", and a thought came to their hearts at the same time: "This singing...... Could it be that you really use pentatonic tones!?"
Although Kirk, Russell, and Chairman Fan couldn't hear anything unusual about the melody, they were all affected by the artistic conception of the lyrics, and they opened their mouths slightly.
This is not the vernacular of poetry, but pure literary lyrics, although it is just one sentence, it has already shown the dexterity of Chinese characters.
Ancient Chinese poetry is very good at immense, vast events and spaces to contrast the mood of a moment.
And this lyric is like this, the sea laughs! The world is vast, indulging in a smile, coupled with Su Huai's elegant figure, it is even more trance-like.
And the last two sentences "surging tide on both sides of the strait ~~ ups and downs remember the present dynasty ~~" have a free and easy mockery of the world.
In terms of singing skills alone, although this old man is 108,000 miles behind Pavarotti, he is not inferior at all when compared with the two.
Because you don't think it's a song, but an intention, this voice and lyrics, melody and heaven and earth are one, his singing is not a person, but the laughter of the sea, can you say that Pavarotti's singing voice can be better than the waves of the sea...
"The sky is laughing~ There are tides in the world, who wins and who loses, God knows~"
"The rivers and mountains laugh ~ the smoke and rain are far away, and the waves sweep away the red dust and the world, how much do you know ~"
Academician Zhou and Su Huai's voices also sounded, although the tone was almost identical, but the temperament was completely different, but they were all the same carefree and easy.
"My Sun" is full of enthusiasm, using the sun as a metaphor for lovers, but in "A Laugh in the Sea", the singer himself is the sea, the sky, and the country.
The sea is smiling, the sea is like a person, pushing history forward to cause waves, and this historical dust is so small.
The sky is smiling, fate makes people, I don't know who wins and who loses.
The country is smiling, the success is famous, the smoke and rain of the past are calm, but the simplicity is no more, and the fame will be drowned in the waves.
The breeze is smiling, the breeze is blowing and I have already understood, the name left in history is just a drop in the ocean, and the pride and ambition in my heart is this free and easy.
At this time, Chairman Fan at the scene already felt a buzz in his head, and couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed softly: "Is this the tune of the Book of Songs......?"
Kirk and Russell are all well-educated people, and the "Book of Songs" unearthed in the Ming Tomb is naturally read, and at this time, I heard Chairman Fan's exclamation, and then I remembered.
Su Huai's lyrics are completely a technique used in the "Book of Songs", that is, a poem is composed of dry paragraphs, and the basic words and sentences of the paragraphs are basically the same, but the few words in the middle are correspondingly transformed.
This kind of repetition of chapters and sentences originally seemed a bit repetitive in the poem, which made people feel a little boring.
For example, "Weifeng, Papaya":
"Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. Bandit retribution, always think it is good.
Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Bandit retribution, always think it is good.
Vote for me with Mu Li, and repay it with Qiongjiu. Bandit retribution, always think it's good~"
It makes people feel that this poem is too repetitive.
But after adding the sound of the piano and zheng, it gives people a great emotional appeal.
Canghai laughed.
Heaven laughs!
Jiang Shan laughs!
Breeze laughs!
Laughter!
Such a looping passage here constitutes an extremely moving intention, as if the heavens and the earth are laughing.
Chairman Fan had always felt that the text of the "Book of Songs" was too simple, but only then did he realize that the ancient poems were not sung out, but sung with tunes.
And this kind of tune, guitar and piano can't be used, you have to be the sound of the zhengqin and bamboo flute to show its spirit.
Only the ancient sound of the zheng, can be matched with this "how much do you know about the red dust and the world~" to sing the "surging wave" after the frankness and freedom!
