This topic is enough to be an explosive news story for all the musicians present.

The symphonization of folk music is not just rhetoric.

In Shen Wuhuan's original world, the process of symphonization of folk music has always been highly respected, and the state has established a folk orchestra, which has also allowed more people to have access to folk music.

But there are also a lot of thought-provoking problems left in it, which cannot be copied in their entirety, and now what Shen Wuhuan has to do is just to take the lead, and as for the follow-up problems, everyone will think about moving forward together when the time comes.

This in itself is a bumpy road.

"The so-called symphony comes from ancient Greece, as the name suggests, it means 'ringing together', and the symphony can often be seen in folk music, but it is not taken seriously, most of them are in the primary elements of the symphony, only used as accompaniment."

"However, in Western music, symphonies and symphonies, as an important part, have been developed for a very long time, and we can learn from this form and develop our own path of folk music, in which the techniques and orchestration of the composition can be used by us."

"Next, we will have a communication on this topic, but limited to the elements of the venue, we still use the method of asking questions, if you have any questions to ask, we can spread them out and solve the problem."

Shen Wuhuan used this way of asking questions to carry out the exchange meeting, which focused all the contradictions on himself, and avoided the dispute between folk music and Western music caused by disagreement to the greatest extent.

As an intermediary, this approach was also quickly echoed.

Master Liao took the lead in asking: "Professor Shen's topic of symphonic folk music is indeed worth thinking about, but I have a question, and it may be the biggest question in our entire industry, if our folk music borrows from the performance form of Western music, and even produces similarities, then how can we prove that we belong to the bloodline of folk music?" ”

This is indeed a big problem, and folk musicians in all parts of the world are worried about it.

The symphonization of folk music is indeed a good path, but will it eventually lead to folk music becoming a vassal of Western music, or even assimilating it with Western music?

Shen Wuhuan answered this question: "Borrowing from the form of Western music is only an expedient measure at the moment, we don't have more ways to choose at this moment, and there are many traces of tricks in my own musical journey. ”

"First of all, my music is full of innovation compared to the music in the whole industry, and folk music can also take the road of innovation to move forward, pursuing novelty in the expression of music, and pursuing alternative in the instrument itself, which can indeed produce a good effect for a while, but in the end it must return to the original - the heritage."

"Folk music has a good heritage, but it rarely communicates with the outside world, a few people hold the lifeblood of the entire folk music, and even in the end this craft is lost and unwilling to let outsiders get it, this is indeed a big problem, of course, I am not here to call on everyone to give up the secret inheritance in their hands, this is obviously unrealistic, but we can't have so many people like Master Fang who will think about restoring them after the skills are lost."

The people around looked at Master Fang, this respected old man had always taken this as his responsibility, which was a very respectable thing.

But as Shen Wuhuan said, how many people can do what Master Fang did?

Shen Wuhuan's words were thought-provoking, but some people scoffed.

Secret skills are naturally secret, and it is absolutely impossible to take them out and share them.

Shen Wuhuan continued: "Then the problem is back to the original point, under the premise that our folk music people are unwilling to openly expand the influence of folk music, the symphony of folk music has become an important experiment and the only way today, Master Liao, I don't know what I mean, do you understand?" ”

Master Liao nodded, it was an answer, from Shen Wuhuan's words, he knew that this conclusion was indeed the only conclusion at the moment, no matter what he thought, there was no way to change it.

He himself is a master of folk music, and naturally he has a lot of skills in his hands that cannot be passed on, but as a senior of the folk music reformers, he has never thought of exchanging the skills in his hands, which is the status quo.

Master Liao knew that this status quo was not so easy to change, so he kept silent.

Seeing that Master Liao didn't open his mouth to refute more, everyone also sat down and watched the changes.

Shen Wuhuan continued to ask, "Are there any more questions?" Today, everyone is open and honest, anyone can ask questions, and as long as it is a suggestion that is beneficial to the development of folk music, we can openly discuss it. ”

At this time, a young man sitting in the Western music group raised his hand, which attracted great attention.

The young man said: "Professor Shen, although I don't understand folk music, but I agree very much with the idea of folk music symphony you put forward, folk music is our country's own music form, which in my heart is not worse than Western music, the difference is only the problem of the form of communication, in today's global integration, information explosion, folk music symphony is indeed the best choice, but I have a question, folk music seems to give people the feeling that it has always been a lack of symphony, The symphony of various musical instruments is also insufficient compared to the use of Western instruments with a long history of symphonic culture, so how to make folk music successfully symphonic? ”

Shen Wuhuan nodded, this question is the next topic to continue the entire exchange meeting, she explained: "Symphony is Western music after all, and now that symphony has been developed for countless years, the musical instruments have already been relatively changed because of the needs of the symphony, but folk music obviously does not have this condition, we cannot change the standard of the instrument at will, nor can we change the form of the music at will, so we can only compromise on the orchestration of the instrument." ”

Master Fang sat up straight, he seemed to think of something.

Shen Wuhuan continued: "The compromise solution is to add Western instruments to the process of folk music symphony to make up for this lack of symphony. ”

There was an uproar in the audience, adding Western instruments to the folk music performance? This is exactly the situation of the dove occupying the magpie's nest?

Can a folk music performance with Western instruments still be called folk music?

It was only at this time that Master Fang truly understood Shen Wuhuan's intentions and the true purpose of that piece.

"What do you mean by handing over the instrument to me? Aren't you just waiting for me, this girl has been calculated on my head? ”

Master Fang is really angry and funny, but he has to deny that Shen Wuhuan's words are indeed enough to change folk music, even if many people still don't understand her now, but this road will always go through.
