Chapter 581: Nervous? No, excited!
The applause faded away, and the baritone spoke again in the echo of applause.
The second program, "Mallorca Concerto in Major – for Classical Guitar and Symphony Orchestra – Op. 117", by Javier. Valentine, Country. Concerto - Huaxia Shencheng Symphony Orchestra. Conductor - Chen Xieyang, Huaxia. ”
"Solo - Ye Zi, Huaxia."
The applause rang out again.
In the audience, Yin Lihua and Cui Zhengguang finally woke up from their drowsy state and clapped their hands vigorously with everyone.
"Next time, next time whoever calls me to come to a concert, Lao Tzu will break off his friendship!" Cui Zhengguang clapped his hands and muttered in his mouth. Amid the applause, no one heard him complain.
Clapping her hands, Yin Lihua suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. She smiled embarrassedly, then tried to keep her eyes open to the stage ahead.
On the stage, Ye Zi, who was dressed in a formal performance dress, held a guitar in his left hand and walked onto the stage from the side curtain with vigor. Coming to the center of the stage, Ye Zi first bowed deeply to the audience, then turned around and came to Chen Xieyang, stretching out his right hand.
Chen Xieyang shook his hand vigorously and tapped him twice on the arm to show encouragement again. Afterwards, Ye Zi shook hands with the orchestra principal Pan Zhe, and then sat down in his playing position with the guitar.
The applause gradually stopped.
During the time when the musicians were fine-tuning the pitch, Ye Zi also carefully fine-tuned a few strings again. His heart was still pounding, he still felt very nervous in the bottom of his heart, and he hoped that he could take advantage of this short tuning time to really calm himself down.
"Sun, Bruce looks ...... Seems to have diǎn nervous? Valentine turned his head and asked softly. A composer like him has seen countless performances, and he can see at a glance what a performer is like.
Sun Yun laughed softly: "Yes, Javier, this is the first time he has performed on a real big stage, and it is inevitable to be nervous, and I was so nervous when I first appeared on stage that I didn't even know where my hands and feet were." But don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems with the performance. ”
"What? That %◆dǐng%◆diǎn%◆小%◆ said,.2≦3.o⊙s_(); ......" Valentin's face changed slightly, and he began to worry.
Before this, Sun Yun and Ni Jun had never said this, and Chen Xieyang had not mentioned this matter at all, Valentine had always thought that according to Ye Zi's performance level, he should have already appeared on the big stage to participate in the official performance of the concert, so he did not hesitate to invite Ye Zi to participate in his special concert, and after this meeting, he sent out an invitation again.
If he had known that Ye Zi had no experience of participating in live concerts, Valentine would definitely have to think more about it in his heart.
"What are you worried about?" Ni Jun patted Valentine lightly, and said with great confidence: "Don't worry, Xiaowa, my disciple I know in my heart, and he forgot everything about the music, nervous?" This diǎn definitely doesn't bother him. ”
"Really?" Valentine asked, turning his head.
He doesn't have Sun Yun and Ni Jun's understanding of Ye Zi, no matter how optimistic he is about Ye Zi's future development potential, he doesn't have much hope for what Ye Zi can do for the first official stage performance. He even felt that it was a mistake for him to invite Ye Zi to participate in this performance this time, and he took it for granted.
However, at this moment, he had to send the arrow, and he could only resign himself to fate, he only hoped that Ye Zi would be able to recover from this tense state as much as possible. As for the interpretation of the work, what kind of process can be achieved? Then it can only be left to God, oh no, God will arrange it.
There was silence in the large recital hall.
Chen Xieyang, who was on the command platform, quietly looked at Pan Zhe, and Pan Zhe diǎn diǎn head. Immediately, Chen Xieyang turned his gaze to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi closed his eyes slightly, and his true qi was running rapidly in the acupoints, making his pounding heart gradually move closer to his normal state. His hands unconsciously opened, folded, opened and closed again, repeating the movement of his fingers in preparation for the performance.
Although his eyes were closed, all the surrounding qiē were all present in Ye Zi's perception, the orchestra was ready, Chen Xieyang was ready, and the audience had already quieted down, just waiting for him to give a signal that he was ready.
Even if the beating of the heart has not fully recovered to a normal state, even the tension in the bottom of the heart has not been completely dispelled, but a longing—the desire that grows from the deepest part of Ye Zi's heart—the strong desire to use the guitar in his hand to communicate with everyone—gradually occupies all of Ye Zi's soul. Ye Zi felt a hint of excitement, the excitement brought by the desire to let everyone listen to his guitar. The growing excitement made his breathing involuntarily shortened.
Taking a long and deep breath, Ye Zi opened his eyes and gently looked at Chen Xieyang.
There was silence in the large performance hall.
……
The first and second violin parts opened the quiet and leisurely prelude to the whole piece in the softest way, and with the gradual addition of viola, cello, and cello, the performers presented a beautiful picture of blue sky, blue sea, and gentle beach in front of all the audience. The mood of everyone in the recital hall seemed to be very relaxed with the performance of the orchestra's string parts.
The strings gradually weakened to silence, and a crystal clear guitar sound quietly joined the string group at this time, and shuttled freely in the musical gap woven by the string group with a soft melody, just like a lively petrel waving its wings, flying lightly above the blue sky and blue sea.
A flute suddenly joins the guitar's melody and plays a "game" with it. Sometimes the guitar rushes to the front, and the flute chases after the guitar; Sometimes the guitar and flute are played at the same time, like two birds flying side by side; Occasionally, the flute would deliberately run in front of the guitar, and when the guitar caught up, it disappeared without a trace.
Valentine, the composer, uses a lot of small but light short phrases, and the occasional long phrase or two with little ups and downs, to portray this musical image of two birds chasing each other happily.
The audience at the scene has now been fully immersed in the world created by Ye Zi and Shen Jiao. Compared with the strictness and meticulousness of the first "Span Overture", the style of this second concerto is particularly relaxed and comfortable, without any obscure musical language and no complex and changeable chord configurations, which is more in line with the appreciation taste of the audience in Shencheng. Even Yin Lihua and Cui Zhengguang, who were drowsy just now, were deeply attracted by this beautiful performance at the moment.
Valentine had long forgotten what he had just thought, Ye Zi's current performance was more of a performer's rarest aura than what he heard in the rehearsal hall yesterday afternoon, more relaxed, and the expression and interpretation of the music were more in place.
In Ye Zi's hands, the bass of the guitar is extremely solid, which holds the bottom firmly for his entire performance; The midrange is mellow and pleasant, and the guitar seems to whisper softly in the ears of every viewer; The penetrating power of the treble is strong and tenacious, and every time the treble appears, it seems to be deeply rooted in the minds of the audience.
All the sound areas of the guitar are unified together in an extremely harmonious way under the strong coordination ability of Ye Zi's left and right hands, forming an organic whole, and the performance of no single tone area will make the audience feel abrupt and unnatural. In the ears of the audience, whenever the guitar starts to change, they will naturally think that the sound area they are using now is the most suitable, the most sounding, and the most natural. Although he knew that all the melodies in the music were composed by Valentine, the composer, the audience would still unconsciously think that this was the result of Ye Zi's playing ability.
In just a few minutes of performance, Ye Zi's strong performance strength has already conquered more than 1,000 audiences in Shencheng. Valentine, an outstanding contemporary Chinese composer and creator of the Mallorca Concerto, is also one of them.
……
Ye Zi on the stage has completely forgotten his pounding heart, forgotten the uncontrollable tension, and even forgot his breathing. As Ni Jun said just now, together with music, Ye Zi has been completely immersed in the world of music. Now he has even forgotten all the desire and excitement just now, and in his eyes, the whole world is only the guitar in his hand.
With its loud and brilliant timbre, the horn hung a red sun high above the sea, and the orchestra picked up speed and tempo, and the music became cheerful.
Ye Zi's face showed a bright smile, his left hand quickly changed the chords one after another, his right hand accurately pressed, played, and swept on one or several or all six strings, and the guitar sang enthusiastically in his hand. The string group danced like a beautiful girl to meet it, and Ye Zi swept back with a strong wheel. As if sensing the cheerful atmosphere on the beach, the petrel flew from the distant sea and plunged headlong into the joyous crowd.
The joyful crowd was even happier!
Suddenly, a long bass glissando appeared in the midst of a short, cheerful phrase, and the petrel left the joyous crowd and flew towards the steep cliffs of the shore. The low and hovering bass gradually passed towards the midrange, and then climbed from the midrange to the high, and the petrel also crossed the jungle on the cliff and flew into the blue sky again.
The string ensemble played a long note to simulate the slightly rolling waves, the horn also used a warm melody to shine the sun on the sea, and Ye Zi's left hand rubbed the strings heavily, completely pouring out the joyful chirping of the petrel.
Blue sky, blue sea, red sun, beautiful scenery, happy crowds on the beach...... This is the Mallorca Islands in the eyes of a small petrel, and it is happy to be in this beautiful place that it will not want to leave. Gently, with a chirp from the petrel, the first movement of the piece ends perfectly in a weakened phrase drawn by the string ensemble.
Ye Zi had just relaxed his mood and was about to take a break before continuing to play the second movement, when the applause rang out overwhelmingly at this time. (To be continued.) )
