Chapter 310: Master's Style

"Dear leaders, teachers, and students, good morning!" The hostess in a red dress held a microphone and stood behind the hosting stage on the side of the stage, and her sweet voice sounded.

Although he is talking about the leaders and teachers, the leaders of the entire Jiaotong University who came to participate in this flute concert are only a vice president in charge of literature and art, and there are still a few music teachers, just to support the scene and show their attention to the flute and flute association of Jiaotong University.

"Today's 'West China Style' flute special concert, we are honored to invite our Baodao flute king, honorary professor of Jiaotong University flute association teacher Zhang Yanwu and the famous mainland flute player teacher Ma Di, let us welcome them with warm applause!"

With the introduction of the host, there was a round of warm applause in the small auditorium. Although it is only a university performance, Jiaotong University is one of the top three universities in the entire treasure island, and the number of music departments in such a university is also considerable, not to mention those fans of other departments and some philharmonic people in society. With the rise of open universities, the boundaries between university students and society have been further blurred in many cases. Like today, there are many flute lovers from Tainan City and the surrounding suburbs. Of course, most of these people can come to watch the performance live, and most of them have something to do with Zhang Yanwu's fame. In Treasure Island, Zhang Yanwu is known as the "King of Flutes", and his popularity is naturally not covered.

The small auditorium, which can accommodate 2,000 people, is almost half of the seats, such an attendance rate. For just a concert organized by a university association, it is definitely a grand event.

After the host introduced the school leaders and teachers present, he officially announced the start of the performance.

"First of all, let us welcome our teacher Zhang Yanwu to the stage with warm applause, and his repertoire is "Spinning Thread"." With the introduction of the host, Zhang Yanwu walked onto the stage in a snow-white robe and gracefully.

As soon as Zhang Yanwu came on stage, he immediately set off a burst of warm applause and cheers again, which shows that there are many fans of Zhang Yanwu in the audience.

"Spinning thread. Mr. Maddy's new work. I like this one the most. In the audience, a college student said expectantly. He was holding a flute tutorial in his hand, which was the "Basic Course of Bamboo Flute Performance" compiled by Ma Di, and it could be seen that this was a fan of Ma Di.

"Yes. But I haven't heard the version played by Mr. Zhang. I don't know which of the two of them blows better. A student next to him nodded in agreement. Apparently the two are very familiar.

"Mr. Zhang's performance style is very similar to Mr. Ma's, that is, there are fewer works than Mr. Ma. But one song "Huaxi Ballade" is enough, classic! The boy who spoke earlier said.

"Yes. The Huaxi Ballade is simply a representative work of Huaxi style, which expresses the musical style of Huaxi to the extreme. This one piece alone can be compared with all the songs of Mr. Madi. The other boy nodded.

"Hey, what do you two say, Teacher Ma Di is the founder of the Huaxi Di School, okay, can you say that Huaxi Lyricism is not as good as Huaxi Ballade? That's a classic! A boy in the back couldn't hear it, and couldn't help but speak.

"Huaxi's lyrics are naturally very classic, but I still think Huaxi's narrative song is a little better." Hearing a flute friend retort, the boy in front insisted.

"Okay, okay, you two don't talk about it, let's get started."

On the stage, the on-site accompaniment of the Jiaotong University Chinese Orchestra gently played the accompaniment of "Spinning Thread".

Accompanied by the accompaniment, Zhang Yanwu's small flute was lightly raised, his breath was slowly exhaled, and the sound of a wisp of Hsinchu came out spontaneously. Suddenly, the entire small auditorium was filled with this wonderful flute sound!

"The sound is fantastic!"

"Teacher Zhang's breath control kung fu is really amazing!"

"What a clean sound, the G key can also come out of this sound? My one blew like a whistle! ”

……

The song "Spinning Thread", the clear and elegant flute sound, immediately made the nearly 2,000 flute friends in the small hall fascinated. Even Lu Qi and Lin Hong, two girls who didn't listen to flute music before, felt that this sound was really good, completely different from the flute music they had heard before. In their impression, the flute music is noisy, strange, and they can't understand it at all. But this tune, although they also don't understand it, they actually think it's very pleasing to the ear, even compared to those pop songs, it has a different taste!

Of course, the reason why this effect can be achieved is that Zhang Yanwu's flute skills are profound, not to mention Chu Yang's "bamboo rhyme" is even more indispensable!

Zhang Yanwu, who was playing a bamboo rhyme in G key, only felt that his body and mind had an indescribable smoothness. The instrument in his hand did not have a trace of his awkwardness at all, it was completely where he thought, the sound was there, and the comfortable feeling was like the sound of the flute flowing from the bottom of his heart. In the past, due to the musical instrument, some subtleties that I thought of but could not express in my heart are completely realized now!

The song "Spinning Thread" was blown tactfully and melodiously, touching people's hearts, and even the band that followed the accompaniment was mobilized and cooperated with a particularly tacit understanding!

After a song, the audience applauded like thunder!

"Great, thank you Mr. Zhang Yanwu for his performance, and then let's invite Mr. Ma Di to bring us his work "Driving the Spirit", please!" The host invited Zhang Yanwu off the stage, and then reported the next program.

As the name suggests, all the repertoire is Huaxi style, and when it comes to Huaxi style, the founder of the sect is Ma Di, so in this concert, nine out of ten are his works. However, he has a lot of works, dozens of them, and if you choose a dozen of them to support a concert, there is naturally no problem at all.

Compared with Zhang Yanwu, Ma Di blows his own works, and is more familiar with the road, this song "Driving the Spirit" is a light and joyful work, under Ma Di's relaxed playing, it is to mobilize the emotions of the audience to reach a climax, after a song, the applause is even warmer than Zhang Yanwu, but this is purely to conquer the audience with skills. You must know that this is a treasure island, which is Zhang Yanwu's home field, although for lovers of flutes, Zhang and Ma's names have been heard, but emotionally speaking, they are naturally more familiar with Zhang Yanwu. Now they are so enthusiastic about Madi's performance, naturally it is purely because of the performance.

"The Desert", "Song of Dengyouzhou", "Plugging the Style", "Huaxi Lyrics" ...... One after another, the familiar tunes of flute fans were blown down, and the atmosphere of the concert became more and more enthusiastic for a while, and the applause continued.

Finally, when Zhang Yanwu performed his famous work "West China Ballade", the warm atmosphere of the audience reached the climax!

The light flute sound, the authentic "bowl cavity", the skillful skills, and a Western China narrative song fully express Zhang Yanwu's flute style. That kind of unique "chicken pecking rice" technique made the flute fans in the audience fascinated!

"Chicken pecking rice" is Zhang Yanwu's housekeeping stunt, which is a kind of bamboo flute fingering. Different from the middle part of the normal finger belly when playing in ordinary performance, Zhang Yanwu's habitual finger belly makes his finger hole fingers arc linear like playing the piano, and the ups and downs are more flexible, especially when playing high-speed voicing, the fingers fall together and the taste of freedom and dexterity is simply pleasing to the eye! Because of the flexible movement of its fingers, it looks like a chick pecking rice, so it is named "chick pecking rice".

"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Zhang's chicken pecks rice, and I finally saw it today, and it really deserves its reputation." Chu Yang could see clearly in the audience that when Mr. Zhang Yanwu was dealing with the pronunciation part of this West China Narrative Song, the dexterity of his fingers was really breathtaking. It can be seen that he must have put a lot of effort into this skill.

"Yes, Lao Zhang's skills, even I admire them. When used in pronunciation, it is simply a great weapon. Don't say it, I've tried to practice too, but I can't practice his taste, unique skills, hehe, I'm really unconvinced. Madi said with a smile.

"Huh? It's your next one, hurry up and get ready, don't talk here, how about the flute? No problem. Ma Di suddenly thought that the next show seemed to be Chu Yang's "Wangxiang", and hurriedly reminded.

"It's okay, I just posted it." Chu Yang said, turned around and took out the purple bamboo flute in F from his flute bag. The workmanship of this flute is very rough, not only is there no exquisite engraving, but even the edging on both sides is only made of ordinary white plastic. However, Ma Di knew that this was the private goods that this kid left for himself, which was definitely no worse than the flute rhyme for himself and Lao Zhang!

"You kid will be on stage for a while, this is a concert between me and Lao Zhang, save me some face." Maddy said half-jokingly.

"No problem!" Chu Yang smiled and made an OK gesture to Ma Di, and then the two of them immediately laughed in unison.

Ma Di's words are naturally a joke, as a bamboo flute everyone, how could he not even have this bit of open-mindedness? Chu Yang's flute level, he knew it in his heart, it was like gold buried in the sand, and sooner or later it would bloom with a dazzling light. And as a senior in the flute world, in the face of this kind of thing, he will only be sincerely happy in his heart, where will he be jealous?

Since Lu Chunling, Wang Tiehammer and other older generations have retired one after another, among the young rookies, there are few amazing talents, this traditional folk music, seeing the decline in China, as a flute everyone, Ma Di's heart is also very anxious.

But now there is a Chu Yang, which makes Ma Di see hope!

"Next, let us applaud the special guest of this concert, Chu Yang from West China Conservatory of Music, to bring you the flute solo "Wangxiang", applause, please!" (To be continued......)
