Chapter 987: Chanting and R&D amp; amp; amp; B
Seeing that everyone was amazed by the song "Hot Girl", Pavarotti's first reaction was to start suspecting that this song was not traditional Chinese music at all.
Su Huai knew that Pavarotti was not convinced, and in the face of doubts, he calmly explained:
"This kind of singing technique of mountain songs, there is nothing unusual, mainly from the use of gas, with gas to control the fusion of true and false sounds, the Tang Dynasty's "Yuefu Miscellaneous Records", there is the earliest Chinese ancient singing technique: "good singers, must first tune their qi. ……”
Pavarotti asked: "We singers from all over the world know this kind of gas, but the female singer just now has been on a very high pitch, but it does not give people the feeling of 'flat', 'dry' and 'tight', but gives people a feeling of vibrating the forest and resounding and curbing the clouds...... It's amazing......"
Saying that, Pavarotti looked at Su Huai, stared at him and said:
"As we all know, the pronunciation of Chinese characters is very rigid, too frustrating, not as coherent as ancient European, so it is very difficult for the singer to control, but the female singer just now seems to have used a very special method, obviously the same Chinese characters, the same sound area, but showing a kaleidoscopic timbre change...... This doesn't seem to be the traditional way of speaking for the Chinese people, right? I heard that Mr. Su's folk materials record a lot of information from other countries, right?"
The audience was in an uproar, could it be that Song Yingzu's singing method was not a Chinese tradition, but that Su Huai stole the skills of other countries?
Thinking that Su Huai also restored the biblical content of the "Dead Sea Scrolls", the audience couldn't help but think, could it be that this singing method is also from other countries?
Su Huai listened but said with disdain:
"Mr. Pa, if you don't know the history of music, don't make people laugh when you say it. ”
"What are you talking about?" Pavarotti said angrily, Su Huai, a layman, actually said that he didn't understand the history of music!?
Su Huai slowly unfolded the folding fan and said: "The reason why the pronunciation of the traditional Chinese mountain song is unique is that the earliest pronunciation of Chinese characters is actually not a Roman sound, but a reference to the Sanskrit fourteen subtitles. Chinese characters have the concept of 'sound' and 'rhyme', in which 'Gongshang Jiao Weiyu Five Tones' is the sound, and 'Kaiqi matching' is the four rhymes......"
Saying that, Su Huai looked at Pavarotti and said, "Mr. Pa knows the style of R&B, right?"
Pavarotti was so angry that he didn't speak, of course he knew!
Su Huai laughed: "The birth of traditional Chinese folk songs is actually similar to the creation of R&B by black singers, because the folk culture level of the ancients is not high, and all the words used in folk songs are very simple, and it is impossible to create a change in melody through the pronunciation of the words, so there is a mountain song method of heavy rhyme and no accent......
The live singers were all surprised when they heard it, Su Huai actually compared the vocal method of Huaxia Mountain Song with R&B, which was really unheard of, but if you think about it carefully, there are similar seconds.
There are a lot of R&B in black singers, and a lot of them use the word "babby", and they can sing different charms over and over again...... However, unlike R&B, the sound of the mountain song is extremely high, and it is more than a hundred times more difficult to control it with such dexterity.
"This is just Mr. Su, you are just talking in the vernacular. Elvis Presley questioned next to him, "What evidence do you have?"
Su Huai saw that Elvis Presley also appeared, but he was ready to ask:
"Mr. Elvis, you have always wondered why our female singers can make a sound like flowing water in an extremely narrow high register, this question is actually very simple, have you ever heard Chinese monks chanting scriptures?"
"Chanting?" Elvis Presley and Pavarotti both listened with question marks on their heads, what does singing have to do with chanting?
"The Chinese monks chanting the scriptures are actually practicing qi, a complex scripture, they can read all the different words through a rhyme, which sounds very weird, but in the depths of the recitation, it can make a kind of 'humming' sound, like a bell. ”
Su Huai nodded to the two of them:
"And the mountain song is also this principle, but in order to let the sound spread all over the mountain, so the choice of a highly penetrating high-pitched area, all the rhyme of the flash, are shown in this narrow high-pitched area, with the rhyme to the depths, but the sound of 'birdsong', crisp and loud.
This kind of high-pitched rhyme, beautiful and light, crisp and sweet, can only be born in places with beautiful mountains and rivers, so the ancient Chinese described the singing as good, and they would say that it was like a yellow warbler out of the valley~"
Pavarotti and Elvis Presley suddenly realized that they all thought that Song Yingzu's singing was extremely good, but they couldn't think of anything to describe it, and when they listened to Su Huaiyi's explanation, they realized that Song Yingzu's "mountain song" was like a birdsong in the mountains.
The sound is extremely high, but it is light and beautiful, it seems to be effortless, and there is no oppressive feeling of opera treble, which is both pleasing to the ear and pleasing to the eye, which is really beautiful.
Seeing that Pavarotti and Elvis Presley were speechless on stage, at this time, both the European and American singers on the stage and the audience in front of the TV realized a surprising fact - that is, the heritage of the traditional Chinese music group is not as thin as they imagined......
The beauty of this song alone is enough to compete with opera.
And Su Huai's quotations are even more eye-opening, which makes people have a deeper impression of this "Hot Girl", and its excitement is not inferior to the singing performance on the stage.
Adding up the two, I'm afraid the result of the vote will be difficult to say.
At this time, everyone was concerned, and the host also got the latest data, and said excitedly: "At the end of the performance just now, the votes of the Western team are 1.78 million, and the votes of the Eastern team are 1.21 million...... The West team is leading for the time being. ”
Pavarotti's voice became more solemn, although they were temporarily ahead, but thanks to their first appearance, the results were actually almost the same, waiting for a few minutes, as the votes increased, I was afraid that they would lose this first game.
Looking at Su Huai, he secretly thought to himself that he was careless this time, this guy deliberately hid it before, in fact, he had been prepared, but he didn't expect that there would be such a killer feature as mountain songs in traditional Chinese music......
At this time, many people in the audience of the Spring Festival Gala at the scene have already discussed:
"I thought that opera was outstanding in traditional singing, but I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful mountain song in China. ”
"To be honest, I don't think the opera is good at all when it is sung with its mouth wide open, how can it be as light as this mountain song. ”
"Today is a long insight, it seems that the Chinese cultural heritage is really bottomless!"
"Who said that the ancient Chinese didn't understand music...... It really should have been pulled out and shot. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Martin, the host of Xinou, immediately diverted the topic and asked Pavarotti: "Mr. Pa, are you also going to send a female singer in this second show?" As far as I know, when it comes to soprano, the opera is also very surprising. ”
