King Yong'an compiled the new song "Vientiane", and the manpower support provided by the Inner Education Workshop and the Taile Department was as many as two or three hundred people.

For a literary and artistic undertaking, this scale is really not small. However, when I think of the scale of rehearsals for other major songs, such as "Shengshou Le", there are as many as 140 dancers alone, similar to military music and ritual music such as Lu Shu music, and there are a lot of drumming sounds.

Regardless of the current situation of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, being able to make the copying on such a large scale can be regarded as ushering in a small peak in his career.

Although there are so many people involved in it, but each performs its own duties, divides the goals, and is not messy, but he has also served as the director of a large-scale municipal project, and he is still a little basic in terms of personnel coordination.

After submitting the lyrics to the Tale Department for review, Li Tong came to a working group led by Tale Cheng Baifen. The members of this group are mainly composed of music officers of the Taile Department, mainly responsible for the compilation of the music book, and there are two Le Zheng and two Taile Doctors under Taile Cheng Baifen.

At present, the arrangement process is still in the stage of loose order, and for a big song, the loose order is the essence of the rhythm, which can best reflect the musical level of a big song.

Li Tong's repertoire "Vientiane" is originally all-encompassing, in other words, it is a hodgepodge, whether it is ten pieces of music or two pieces, all the essence is added to it.

Regardless of other aspects, this one requirement is a layman's guide to an insider. The vocal harmony must have at least one theme, and there must be a tone that runs through the whole text, and everything should be put into it, not to mention anything else, there are as many as 100 kinds of different timbres of various musical instruments, and if you don't do professional screening, it can only be a cloud of noise.

Therefore, when Li Tong came here, there was a musician with a bitter face who said that this requirement is really difficult to meet, and after dozens of music, there is no kind of music style and any kind of instrument that can run through it as a leader.

"We have been through all kinds of music, and only a few parts such as "Yan Le" and "Turtle Zi Ling" may be able to get one or two of the king's wishes."

Hearing this Lezheng's words, Li Tong frowned, Yan Le didn't need to say much, it was a hodgepodge of Chinese and foreign combinations. As for the turtle music, it is versatile, and it is not abrupt to blend any kind of music, and even the most solemn and elegant Qing Shang music can integrate the turtle music into it.

For example, the "Spring Oriole" made by Bai Mingda in the old year of Gaozong is to use turtle music and bird sounds. Having said that, Li Tong also learned after contact that Bai Fen looked like a scholar, and his father Bai Mingda was actually from Qiuzi.

"Since it's a new song, can't you get rid of the old music?"

Talking about technology, Li Tong is a scumbag, but when it comes to concepts, he can still be the way. As for how to get rid of the old music, you ask me?

After hearing this, several Taile officials all looked embarrassed, and finally a Taile doctor stepped forward and said, "Let's let the king listen to the new laws first." ”

After that, a voice person has already appeared, and Li Tong has also sat down, seeing that the second brother Li Shouli is also standing in this voice person with a pipa, he nodded and encouraged. It can be seen the benefits of reading more, the two brothers, one is full of poetry and is a guest at the table, and the other can only play musical instruments and can only play tricks.

Li Tong's music appreciation level is roughly at the level of "The Easy King", even if he borrows a tiger skin now, there will be no big improvement in the short term.

Therefore, he has one of the most intuitive criteria for evaluating the quality of a piece of music, that is, how much instrument is used. This is the same as fighting, there are many people who are naturally full of momentum, not to mention the quality of the tune, you can be bluffed on stage.

Although the working days are short, but after the run-in, the musicians also generally understand the aesthetic taste of King Yong'an, so after a tune is composed, they can use as many instruments as they can. Not to mention, many instruments are matched, as long as the tune can be guaranteed, the effect is really improved by several levels.

Li Tong closed his eyes and listened halfway, then raised his hand and said, "Remove the drum, take the sound!" Alternate drumming. ”

This kind of request, as soon as you hear it, it is not something that outsiders can put forward, such as "seizing the sound" and "bullying the voice" and other technical language, when watching Taile Cheng Baifen guide the work in the past few days, he also secretly remembered a lot in his heart. It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, as long as you can make a request, you must give me excellence!

After that, a few small adjustments were made one after another, and the final tune had been lowered by one palace, and several small instruments such as sandalwood and sheng were added, and of course, the removed drum was moved back. With so many instruments playing, the sound is already chaotic, and if there is no drum with the leading sound, it will be impossible to listen.

But Li Tong is still a little dissatisfied, what he tastes is not whether the music is heard or not, but the basic sound theory. In this piece of music, the instrument that cushions the harmony is the Hu Ji, but the Hu Ji has a dull and sticky timbre, and some instruments with less outstanding timbre play with it, which can easily be masked by the voiced sound.

At this time, there were thirteen kinds of musical instruments on the stage, and when he closed his eyes and listened to it just now, there were only nine kinds of musical instruments that he could distinguish, which was the so-called deception.

When Li Tong asked this question, a musician stepped forward and replied: "Hu Ji is easy to deceive the evil weapon, and usually does not play in a group voice. But at the moment, if there is no such instrument, the tuning will inevitably be more ......"

"In that case, is there a sounder that can be used to bring together without confusing the sounds? What about the vocals? ”

As he spoke, Li Tong hummed, and the melody of the tune was actually hummed, which shows that he is not a complete layman, and he has been learning modestly after staying with these professionals for a long time.

When Le Zheng heard this, his face was embarrassed: "Scattered order into chanting, some, some ......"

"I just said that I don't keep the old rules, so let's try first."

Li Tong said with a smile again, and kept Li Shouli with his hand, telling him to get out and change another pipa trick to come up. His level of appreciation is also increasing day by day, and it is too easy to see a low master, and Li Shouli's playing skills can no longer keep up with the progress of his appreciation level.

Le Zheng was still bowing his head and thinking about King Yong'an's proposal, and another voice sounded on the side: "What the king said should refer to Fanbei." This "Western Liang Ling" is set up by the sound, and there is no storage in the inner teaching workshop. ”

Everyone in the field, including Li Tong, all followed the prestige, and the first thing they saw was Mi Baizhu, a rough-faced bearded man, walking quickly.

With the improvement of the level of appreciation day by day, Li Tong has realized that Mi Baizhu's music skills are really so-so, but this is the first musician in the inner teaching workshop to move closer to him.

Behind Mi Baizhu, a scarlet-robed official was calmly walking, and what he said just now was exactly what this person said.

The so-called "Fanbei", Li Tong heard of it for the first time, and saw that he was dressed and not arrogant, so he stood up, and when the other party arrived, he asked: "I want to ask, what is the sound of Fanbei?" ”

The other party stepped forward and paused, first made a forked hand signal, and then replied: "Cao Zhi, the king of the old Wei Chen Si, felt the Yushan divine system, and wrote "Ode to the Prince", which was the beginning of the voice. Later generations practiced because of the law, especially Qiliang, and the Xiao family strengthened its body before and after......"

Listening to this person's explanation of quoting scriptures, Li Tong finally understood that this so-called Sanskrit should refer to the sound of chanting and singing. This gave him a wake-up call, and he had been thinking about adding some Buddhist and Taoist elements to the song of "Vientiane" to make it have the characteristics of the Dharma song.

It's just that he is really not good at the field of religion, and he has not yet figured out how to add these elements to it without being obtrusive, and he can't dominate and destroy the tone of the whole song. Now it seems that this is a nice addition.

"Go back to the Taile Department, and ask a few people to play a new tune."

Li Tong turned his head and ordered the famous Le Zheng, and then turned back to look at the scarlet-robed official who reminded him, and asked, "Your Excellency is ......?"

"The lowly Heavenly Official Department examiner Wailang, and the Naotaile Department of the selection of words, Shen Yan, meet the king."

The scarlet-robed official took a small step back, then saluted and revealed his identity.

When Li Tong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward, with a warm smile on his face: "It turned out to be Shen Yuanwai, Shen Yuanwai's poems are famous, although Xiao Wang lives in the big house, he has also heard the name of the poems outside the staff for a long time, and he doesn't mean to meet here today, which is really gratifying." ”

Who is in the Shen Yan period, Li Tong is naturally familiar with it, not to mention anything else, just copying the belly and slandering the times, this name has been passed through his heart many times. Shen Yan period and Song Zhiwen are the representative figures in the poetry circle of the transition from the early Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and they are also known as the key figures in the early Tang Dynasty.

Regardless of whether he was in his heart or not, whether he praised or disagreed, seeing Shen Yanqi appear alive in front of him at this time, Li Tong did have many surprises in his heart. Not to mention that as soon as the other party appeared, he put forward a very thoughtful opinion to him.

Shen Yan was a young man, and his poems have been famous for a long time, and he was not surprised that King Yong'an had heard his name, and he was probably in a good mood to see that this young king was so polite to him.

He is also in charge of the selection of lyrics by the Taile Agency, so he naturally knows that King Yong'an and Xue Huaiyi are going to create new songs in the inner teaching workshop. To be honest, I didn't have a good impression of King Yong'an at first, after all, I can mix with Xue Huaiyi, and I know that it should be a habit of being a gentleman.

Unexpectedly, this meeting, King Yong'an gave him a much better impression than he imagined, and the young king's demeanor is outstanding, and it is rare to be able to know the etiquette.

After the two sides saw the ceremony, Shen Yanqi remembered the intention of this time, raised his hand and raised the poem manuscript in his hand, and said: "The lowly and direct music house selection words, the square sent "Vientiane" lyrics, the body is upright and elegant, the masterpiece is rare, the poetry is unbearable for a while, I want to visit Yicai, ask for advice on the talent, I don't know if the king can give a little guidance?" ”

When Li Tong heard this, his smile turned reserved: "I don't mean to be clumsy, but I can get a reward from outside the staff, which makes Xiao Wang flattered." ”

Hearing King Yong'an's answer, Shen Yanqi was even more shocked, and even exclaimed: "This song of "Vientiane" is actually written by the king? ”
