0069 The Great Song "Vientiane"

With Xue Huaiyi's tiger skin, many problems that were originally difficult for Li Tong have become simpler.

The inner teaching workshop was originally forbidden in the shallow pond, but now it is full cooperation from top to bottom. And the support provided by the Outer Court Taile Department made Li Tong overjoyed.

Sometimes the turn of life is really real. If the palace is as important to Li Tong as the Ganye Temple that trapped Wu Zetian in the old years, then Xue Huaiyi can really be said to be his queen and queen. For this hard-won opportunity, Li Tong also cherishes it very much.

The group of people from the Taile Department came to the Inner Teaching Workshop and also brought a series of ceremonial regulations around the New Year. This set of etiquette began to be formulated as early as the beginning of the year, and after more than half a year of running-in and revision, it has basically been finalized now, and can be regarded as a complete set of etiquette programs for the entire empire before and after the New Year.

After getting this set of etiquette, Li Tong was a little excited in his heart, although he had been mixed with the system for a few years in the original world, he had really never been exposed to such a high-level work program. It can be seen that crossing can really change lives.

This set of ritual scrolls consists of five volumes, large and small ceremonies, from the origin of etiquette to the meaning of customization, as well as the specific regulations and people involved.

As for Li Tong's preparations for the New Year's feast, it is an accessory to the gift of "Mingtang Feast", which only occupies a small space in these five volumes of rituals.

After seeing this set of etiquette, Li Tong realized that the previous deacon Le Zheng of the Inner Teaching Workshop asked him to cover the music and dedicate music, which was really polite when he said it. I'm afraid that Na Lezheng himself doesn't know much about the etiquette process, let alone escorting Yongan Wang Lexi to the ceremony.

Now that he has Xue Huaiyi's tiger skin, Li Tong is no longer so sensitive to Shiliu's perfunctory and indifferent to him, and he has no leisure to complain anymore.

It can be seen that whether people are open-minded or not, they do not care whether their wisdom is mature or not, and it is only related to chance. Before, he didn't have any, his future was bleak, he didn't add some mental activities, and he didn't even know if he still had feelings of joy, anger and sorrow.

According to the records of the rites, the New Year's feast is also arranged to be held in the Ming Hall, arranged to be held on the fifth day of the first month of the next year after worshipping the ancestors, changing the yuan, congratulating the court, and making the administration, with the main ceremony for one day and the side ceremony for five days, and lasts until the tenth day of the first month.

This large group building, up to six days, needs to use all the music, of which the big song needs a total of ten, three on the day of the ceremony, one every day for the next five days, the first ten ceremonies plus one, the first eight gods of the people into the Guanming Hall to occupy another one. And the time outside of these ten major songs must be filled with small songs.

Although Li Tong didn't know the specific regulations before, he would also ask the eunuch Yang Xu and others about the etiquette process when he was translating. Previously, he was an idler, and he asked himself if he was not qualified to occupy the quota of a big song, so the target was still set on those small songs in the middle.

But now that Xue Huaiyi is standing behind him, the goal is naturally to be more righteous, and he must occupy the quota of a big song, otherwise it is not amazing enough.

But although it is only a team building, the formulation of etiquette is also very strict. For example, the three major songs on the day of the fifth day of the first lunar month have all been decided. One is the Qingle song "Tangtang", which was played on the occasion of the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the Ming Hall. A song "Picking Mulberry" is played alone for the Queen Mother. There is also a song "Breaking the Array Music", which was played when the ministers ascended the palace.

These three great songs, "Tangtang" was made by the Southern Dynasty Chen Houzhu, and it was renovated during the reign of Gaozong Xianqing, and it was a necessary repertoire for the palace to be used as a new piece. Mingtang's new entry into use is customized accordingly. "Picking Mulberry" was used in the old year when Wu Zetian was the queen, and the silkworm ceremony was used. "Breaking the Array Music" has a part of the color of military music, and it is to promote martial arts, this year, the imperial court suppressed the rebellion of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and other soldiers, showing off martial arts, and it is due to righteousness.

The three great songs are not easy to replace, but the quota for other ceremonial days is much more flexible, and they have not yet been determined, and they are still rehearsed by the dance and music institutions affiliated to the Sili Temple, the inner teaching workshop, and the tent, and even the ministers can make music and present, and before the New Year, they are selected by Wenchang, Sili, Chunguan and other divisions.

After learning this, Li Tong also secretly exclaimed happiness. Previously, he only felt that there were examples of Li Dan's sons presenting dance music, and it was very simple for him to engage in some dance music presentations, but he didn't expect that there was such a layer stuck in the end, and even important institutions in Taiwan Province such as Shangshu Province and the Ministry of Rites were involved.

Although everyone is a grandson, there is still a Lao Tzu missing. Although Li Dan was seized the throne, he was still the heir of the emperor after all, and he attracted wide attention both inside and outside. His father Li Xian is still buried in Bazhou, judging from the indifferent attitudes of all parties towards them during this time, if there is no other channel and help, if you want to lick others, you may not be given a chance.

Counting up, in the current situation, the only one who really remembers and pays enough attention to their family is really Qiu Shenxian, a mortal enemy. After all, during this period of time, the warmth and coldness of the people were deeply felt, and the daughters who married outside and the faces who sold wild medicines were not comparable to the marginal people of their family.

If it weren't for the absurdity and self-deprecation in his heart, coupled with the stimulation of the life-and-death crisis brought by Qiu Shenyun, Li Tong would probably have forgotten what their family was in this situation.

At the moment, he really has no other hope, he can only hope that Xue Huaiyi has enough energy to successfully put the big song he wrote on the stage.

To achieve this goal, Xue Huaiyi's goodwill release for unknown reasons is obviously unreliable, and Li Tong needs to be more sure to grasp it, so that Xue Huaiyi has a closer connection with this unformed Daqu.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Tong began to determine the idea of the entire song. It's the middle of November, and there's still more than a month to go before the end of the year.

According to the relevant information of later generations, Qingle Daqu generally needs to be practiced for 60 days, and the rest of the parts are about 30 days. But now there is not even a shadow of the renovated Daqu, and the time left for Li Tong is very short.

Although at present, with the prestige of Xue Huaiyi, the Taile Department and the Inner Teaching Workshop are all cooperating, but how to present these characters with a sufficiently stunning effect still requires a high level of control, scheduling and play.

He used the compilation of new songs to coax Xue Huaiyi to join in, so the old songs of the literary and co-legal associations were first excluded, and a large and gorgeous new song had to be presented.

This new song, although it does not even have a prototype, Li Tong has already set a tone and determined the title of the track to be "Vientiane".

This name was drafted, and the extraction was the official title of Mingtang's "Vientiane Shrine", from which it can be determined that his intention was to connect himself with Mingtang to a certain extent through such a "Vientiane" song, and to play "Vientiane" in Mingtang.

This great song should have the dual attributes of ritual music and feasting. At the same time, taking into account the political significance it should have, it is also necessary to add elements of the previous part of the Buddhist rituals.

Li Tong knew that he didn't have many opportunities, and he must take advantage of one opportunity to the extreme.

At present, although there is still more than a year before the first year of the Heavenly Grant of the Wuzhou Revolution, Qiu Shenxian, who is eyeing him outside the palace walls, will not give him too much time, and similar opportunities may not be available.

The main issues have been identified, and the remaining issue is implementation.

Compiling a big song in such a short period of time, and at the same time having so much content, to achieve the kind of role that Li Tong wants, is a difficult task for people who have been immersed in vocal music for a long time, and considering his half-baked level, it is an almost impossible task.

But after determining this line of thought, Li Tong no longer thinks about success or failure, the only thing he needs to do is just give it a try.

After the repertoire of "Vientiane" was formulated, Li Tong divided the tasks into different task groups such as composition, dance, sound, lyrics, and utensils, and was led by different professionals.

The rhyme is the foundation of a big song, no matter how conceited Li Tong is, he knows that he can't complete it. At present, although he has a preliminary understanding of Shengyun and palace merchants, he also stops at appreciating and is incompetent.

Therefore, Li Tong still assigned the task of collecting and compiling music to professionals such as Taile Cheng Baifen and the like, stipulating that these musicians must compile and intercept five to ten pieces of music every day, and teach the musicians to play them, and he auditioned and selected.

In terms of dance, Li Tong determined a basic idea, that is, to boldly use Weiya dance to present the stage effect of Dunhuang Flying Sky. There was no need to take risks before, but now he wants to seize an opportunity to maximize the benefits, so why bother with these scruples.

In fact, regarding the collocation of dance and music, Li Tong also has a relatively definite reference image, that is, Bai Juyi's "Dance Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers". Although the content of the "Vientiane" song in his mind is far richer than that of the "Ni Dress" song, there is still a lot to learn from some of the dance rhythms and expressions in it.

In terms of voice, Li Tong does not intend to use the more popular solo or unison singing, but a more ambitious multi-chorus.

At present, the music is not completed, the words are difficult, and the voice cannot be practiced, but the multiple chorus is a new form of artistic expression. Therefore, Li Tong instructed to directly bring in the old words of Yanle with rich and tactful lyrics such as "Pitching Pot Music" and "Immortal Stay", so that the people could first familiarize themselves with the layering and atmosphere in the multiple singing methods.

The resignation group is naturally led by Li Tong himself, which is also his biggest advantage, and he regards it as one of the links with the strongest sense of his presence in the whole song.

Of course, you don't have to think about it, since Li Tong himself wrote the lyrics, he naturally needs to retain his biggest feature, that is, writing off music. Write out the words first, if the tune doesn't match, then change it, and if it doesn't work, change it. The voices are in harmony with me, not in the voices of me.

After all, in terms of music, there are so many talents around you that you can brainstorm. However, in terms of copying, although Li Tong has countless chapters, he only has one brain, which is really difficult to accommodate. With an end, there is no end, and it is gone!
