Chapter 308: Chen's Father and Son's Adaptation of "War Horse" (Second Update)
As the title says, horses are an indispensable part of CN, and the northern nomads are especially fond of horses.
There are also a lot of horse-related repertoire in folk music.
But in Shen Wuhuan's understanding, there is a qualitative difference between the folk music of this world and the folk music of the original world.
Because there is no universal school education, folk music at this time is still similar to small workshops, which means that it is difficult to find folk music scores on the Internet.
Even if anyone who is familiar with music theory can easily pick up music (refers to a skill that can write and write a song when you hear it), it is still not found on the Internet, which shows that the rules are still quite strict.
In other words, this question is not a test of Shen Wuhuan's performance ability, but his ability to compose music!
She is not required to be able to compose any high-quality repertoire at this time, but the ability to improvise is also an assessment criterion, which means that the more complete the repertoire she creates, the higher the overall evaluation will be.
Shen Wuhuan's composing skills have already reached the master level, but at this time, there is no need to use her brains in this review, she has already thought of a track that can be unveiled.
The name of the song is "Horse Racing".
"Horse Racing" is a solo erhu piece composed by Mr. Huang Haihuai (born and died in 1935-1967, died young), which is a new work in the 4th "Shanghai Spring" Erhu Solo Competition in 1964.
The music is deeply loved by people for its majestic momentum, warm breath, and unrestrained melody, and can be called a household name in the original world.
Whether it is a majestic racer or a galloping and neighing horse, the melody of the erhu is vividly expressed, and it can be said that this song has raised the expressiveness of the erhu to another level.
This song is not available in this world, because of the change in the trajectory of history, this world does not have the birth of Mr. Huang Haihuai.
Therefore, Shen Wuhuan took it out at this time, which can be regarded as an impromptu composition.
Similarly, what Shen Wuhuan came up with was not the original song.
"Horse Racing" has a well-known reputation, but the difficulty of this piece is not high, only equivalent to the original world erhu level 4 difficulty.
If this song was used on such an occasion in the original world, it would be tantamount to ridicule, so Shen Wuhuan simply chose another version.
That is, at the 1996 Spring Festival Gala, the version adapted by Chen's father and son.
Shen Wuhuan was sitting on a chair in the middle of the entire hall at this time, while Li Yunxi and the others were sitting by the door, finally fulfilling the truth that the visitors were guests, and did not let them all stand.
Qiqi raised her head and looked at Xia Mengxue: "Teacher Xia, what kind of tune do you say Teacher Shen will play?" ”
"I don't know, but if you listen well, our teacher Shen won't be easily defeated."
Qiqi looked at Shen Wuhuan with little stars in her eyes and nodded vigorously.
Shen Wuhuan adjusted the erhu in his hand and said to the people in front of him, "I'm going to start." ”
"And that's what it begins? I didn't even think about it for ten minutes, what could I pull out? ”
"Who knows, maybe she gave up on herself, and she was a girl from a Western musical instrument who could make some tunes..."
"Uncle, don't underestimate her too much, Professor Shen is still very powerful."
"Go, go, the kid stays."
It was true that Shen Wuhuan had not been sitting down for ten minutes since she got the qin, but this time was completely enough for her.
But the uninformed could not imagine how to compose music in such a short period of time.
This is not a story Cao Zhi became a poem in seven steps, and his life was held in his hands!
Even Master Fang, who was sitting under the plaque, felt that Shen Wuhuan was a little too big this time, although the people here were not well-known folk music masters in the country, they were also the top people in the capital, it was really unwise to do such a unconstrained thing in front of these people.
There was a lot of talk, but what happened next made them all shut up.
A series of passionate melodies came from the erhu.
The full timbre of the stirring melody depicts the grand occasion of Mongolian horse racing in a short moment.
The F Palace D feather tune hexatonic scale, this is a very instrumental melody, jumping up and down with different span intervals, continuous and rapid rhythmic patterns, processed with extremely detailed rhythms, showing the magnificent landscape of horses galloping on the vast grassland.
Under the background of the strong notes and rapid sound patterns, Shen Wuhuan tried his best to compress the rhythm to form an extremely roundabout sixteenth note rhythm, and changed in a modulated way, with an extremely smooth sense of movement.
As the theme of "Horse Racing", this typical instrumental melody can be said to be very short.
But it only took an extremely short paragraph to complete the description of the theme, and "straight to the point" showed the boiling and enthusiastic scene of the crowd on the racetrack to everyone present, which is indeed enough to make a splash!
Coupled with Shen Wuhuan's performance and the arrangement of Chen's father and son, two erhu masters, this song "Horse Racing" is even more attractive to the ears!
Those who have listened to this part don't even need to ask, they can already hear that this is a piece about horse racing, which further illustrates the expressiveness of this piece from the side.
“......”
It only took more than thirty bars for the doubts to disappear completely.
Some people who don't practice enough can't even imagine that this melody was come up in just ten minutes?
It's incredible!
What's even more incredible is Shen Wuhuan's erhu skills, which are even more eye-catching.
Many of the folk musicians present were not presumptuous, but they asked themselves that they definitely did not have such excellent performance skills as her.
The full melody and smooth and steady beat have a special sense of rhythm, coupled with Shen Wuhuan's own unique performance charm, which dedicates an attraction that ordinary folk music players can never show
Even Master Fang, who had only seen Shen Wuhuan pull the erhu some time ago, was shocked by her technique at this time.
However, it is a pity that he heard the melody of a Mongolian folk song in this melody, and it is expected that the first part of this piece should be a derivative of the original folk song.
This is a subtraction for this question, after all, the test is improvisation, not improvisation.
But just as he shook his head secretly, something unexpected happened.
"The sound of horses' hooves? Actually imitated the sound of horses' hooves by jumping the bow, which..."
A series of light and crisp horses' hooves came from the erhu, and the sound of horses' hooves was not loud, as if it was still far away from the racecourse, but far away from the stands.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, it was really like there were countless running horses in the distance in this hall, and the atmosphere of the entire hall was suddenly transformed into the vast Mongolian steppe!
Doubts arose in all ...
How did this come to mind? Can you think of such a way to play in just ten minutes?
