In the past IMCS All-Star Folk Song Night, Xi Shuang, Li Youyang and the girls of the Goddess Band cooperated with each other to a song "Earth Flying Song" once again amazed the audience, at the same time, I am afraid that not only I am thinking about it now, I am afraid that everyone who can hear this song is thinking that this song will definitely become the theme song of any future folk song and large-scale event!

Of course, at the IMCS All-Star Folk Song Night, there is more than this earth-flying song that can become the theme song of any large-scale event or event, but here I want to say that it is not the theme song of Li Youyang that is earth-shattering enough to go down in the history of IMCS forever, or even enough to be included in the theme song of any other event, because I have always studied folk songs rather than pop and rock, and in pop and rock, it is good to let others evaluate it.

At the same time, I don't want to talk about a rain of smoke in the south of the Yangtze River that Li Youyang brought to the extreme the characteristics of Chinese style he proposed, and the fireworks that are easy to cold through time and space, because I am also a beginner about Chinese style, and I also have to consult Li Youyang or my granddaughter Yaoyao.

Therefore, I can only talk about the Chinese folk songs of various regions sung by Li Youyang and the girls of the Goddess Band at the IMCS All-Star Night, especially this "Earth Flying Song"!

Why is Li Youyang's "Earth Flying Song" a world-class new folk song, then we have to talk about it from the beginning. First of all, from the point of view of the arrangement of the prelude, Li Youyang used the introduction of string long chords of the first chord in a minor key, accompanied by some electronic timbre foreshadowing, giving people a mysterious feeling, the wind chimes brought the song into the subsequent chords and then transitioned from the first chord to the fourth chord, a turning point occurred in the auditory color, and finally fell on the seventh chord of the fifth grade, which was unstable, The chords that need to be solved urgently give the feeling that the music is about to have a new turning point, and sure enough, after the fifth grade of the seventh chord continues for many beats, the theme prelude music sounds, the main theme of the vocals and strings is strong, and the drum beat and bass are filling in the gaps.

At the same time, in the 3rd and 4th beats of each measure, the fixed sound pattern is formed, forming a momentum that echoes before and after, which is also very consistent with the feeling of this song, when the theme prelude enters the 4th measure, Li Youyang uses a 1st beat to stop in unison, and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th beats are completed by the drum and flower, and the timbre is to choose the timpani, which is modern and novel, giving people a sense of fashion.

After the arrangement of the singing section, the A section is first sung, the drum beat and the BASS maintain the same rhythm, so that the rhythm is stable and dynamic, and the following is lined with synthesized strings, and the electric piano performance and guitar strumming are carried out with the change of the rhythm of the accompaniment, so that the rhythm of the rhythm is more colorful. The first few measures are basically a minor first chord, and then with a fourth-degree chord progression, the A section of the piece ends, and the transition to the B section is ready for the climax of the piece.

And here Li Yuyang uses a small hit timbre of the last sixteen notes of one bar to make the transition, natural and stable, using the transition of the major and minor key of the same name to the end of the A section of the sixth-grade minor chord in the key of C, and the smooth transition to the first-level major chord of the key of A at the beginning of the B section.

Section B is the climax, because it has been transferred to A major, the rhythm of the music and the release of emotions will appear more dynamic and passionate, so the arranger only uses the three major chords of A major, that is, the first, fourth, and fifth chords, in this section, so that the progression of the harmony seems stable and natural, and the emotional transformation also continues to rise with the continuous change of the chord. In terms of timbre selection, the arranger still focuses on the rhythm and tone pattern of the A-section drum, and adds some small timbre to make the rhythm more dynamic. THE BASS BASS, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS CONVERTED ACCORDING TO THE TRANSITION OF THE KEY AND CHORDS.

In addition, Li Youyang also used a lot of string orchestra arrangement, here we have to talk about the charm of Nie Yudan and Dong Xueqin's two electronic piano double keyboards, the two electronic pianos in the interpretation of the IMCS theme song in the real use of cello and violin like a magic sound before the two of them are amazing, they perfectly use these two highest-end electronic organs to simulate the first violin and the second violin to play the top sub-melody theme, this part of the melody has a higher pitch, the sound will be clearer, and the main melody is well modified and assisted; It forms a complementary fill-in-the-blank with the treble strings, wrapping the singing in the middle, giving people a very three-dimensional auditory effect, and the timbre of this piece of strings feels relatively mild and delicate, and the integration with other timbres is also quite good!

So when it came time to arrange the interlude, the violin and cello of the strings played the same melody of two octaves, neatly and steadily, making people sound very clear, very comfortable, with some emphasis, and the rhythm was also very good. Here, too, the arranger uses the eponymous major and minor switching technique from the string theme in A major in the first four measures of the interlude to the string theme in A key with a smooth and smooth transition.

In addition, Yaoyao and Sasha's drums and Chen Ying's BASS still maintain the rhythmic pattern of the climax of the B section, which does not dominate, and paves the way for the flow and clarity of the strings, and the arrangement technique of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th beats of drums and flowers is also used at the end of the interlude, so that the music naturally transitions to the reproduction section.

The A section after the reproduction is basically the same as before the reproduction, and the arrangement of various timbres, the use of chords, rhythmic patterns, small beats, and the transition measures of the last sixteenth notes connecting the B section are all identical. When entering the climax of the B section, there is a vocal accompaniment, and the voices of the girls of the Dream Angel Dance Troupe have a strong national style of accompaniment melody, which continues to flow around the main melody, and sometimes there are some vocal accompaniment types that line the words, and with the reappearance of the climactic passage, the density of the accompaniment and the flow of the sound pattern are constantly strengthened. With the fortisstry of four eighth notes and one quarter note in the last measure, the backing vocalist and lead singer shout a powerful "hey" on the final beat, the song completes a brilliant end at the climax, the most passionate, the most atmospheric, and the most harmonious.

However, in the use of chords, Li Youyang is decent, did not use any very special chords, not even some color chords are not involved, only used three third chords and three minor third chords to complete the arrangement of the whole piece, but we don't think that simple chords can not be matched with good tunes, as long as the use of bits, simple chord connection will also receive good results!

This "Earth Flying Song" is a typical single two-part style with reproduction, the structure is concise and clear, starting from the lyrics into the singing a total of 37 bars, if you want to learn this song friends, in this song, we can start with the lyrics into the singing of a minor key (1) I. - (2) I. - (3) I. - (4) I.-IV.
