Chapter 319: What the Nation Is the World (Third Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Of course, I am not saying these words to completely deny the symphony of folk music, symphony is a word full of scientific texture, we need to continue to experiment in music, in order to understand the sense of space of folk music instruments in symphony, in order to find more instruments that can be integrated into the music."
Shen Wuhuan's summary finally calmed down the turmoil, but there are still people who feel that this thing is not quite right.
An old man asked, "Professor Shen, although you are now a senior of the literary generation, why do you dare to assert that there are no symphonic instruments in folk music?" ”
Shen Wuhuan is as good as flowing: "This problem is actually very simple, the traditional auditory system of the CN people is biased towards high tones, so basically the folk instruments that have been handed down are all high musical instruments, typical like the flute (Bang Di Qu Di are all), Gao, Er, Jing, Banhu, Suona, Sheng, Pipa, and various metal percussion instruments. ”
"When it comes to folk music, it is either the blowing and percussion of gongs, drums and firecrackers, or all kinds of background music for the accompaniment of opera, the first is purely lively, and the second is almost all a few instruments with a linear march, and there is no ribbon presentation form from high to low like a symphony."
"Therefore, it is difficult for us to find a special instrument for auxiliary bass in the symphony of folk music to set off the atmosphere, which is also for a better sense of musical layering.
The old man was stunned by Shen Wuhuan's call, what kind of line march, what kind of ribbon presentation, he didn't understand at all.
But there was one thing he understood.
CN people have always loved high notes, whether it is singing or musical instruments, the feeling of the high notes breaking through the eardrum is the favorite of local people, so the musical instruments that evolved from this preference also have corresponding characteristics.
However, the ribbon-like presentation structure of Western music ensures that they have very good expressiveness in every register, and more importantly, without a strong bass guarantee, the treble and alto are as empty as a castle in the air, which is also lacking in folk music.
At the same time, in the past world, those folk musicians have also encountered such problems.
In the absence of bass strings, how to shape a pure-blooded national orchestra?
In the end, it was our beloved Premier Zhou who established the policy with a wave of his hand.
It is documented.
In 1964, the prime minister was very concerned about the reform of the national bass stringed instrument, he said: "To make your own national bass instrument, not only the shape should be beautiful, it should have national characteristics, but also have its own performance method." ”
So, the state struck again-
In 1993, the Ministry of Culture included the bass stringed instrument in the Ministry of Culture's public relations project for national bass bowed string instruments.
In 2013, the "Improvement of National Bass Stringed Instruments" was officially included in the National Cultural Science and Technology Improvement Program.
With funding, many conservatories are involved in joint research and development.
After a long time, some new instruments suitable for folk music were finally developed.
Of course, Shen Wuhuan can't go through this road for the time being, because she doesn't know the structure of these musical instruments, so she can only hand it over to the people of this world step by step to complete it herself.
She's just leading the way.
Immediately afterwards a young folk musician stood up, and he was about to ask a question, but was reprimanded by the old man in front of him, telling him to sit down quickly.
Seeing this, Shen Wuhuan nodded at the old man and said: "Today's situation is quite special, if your apprentice has the desire to speak freely, then I hope he can say a few more words, everything that happened today will not have an impact on your reputation, if you have any questions, you can come to me later, I will make sure that my words have the corresponding effect." ”
The emergence of this situation still marks the unenlightened nature of folk music, and if you want to carry out reforms, you can't put aside such a thing as face, and you can't make an inch.
The old man struggled for a moment, and then his apprentice opened his mouth.
The young man stood up a little excited, and expressed his reverence for Shen Wuhuan after expressing his reverence: "Professor Shen, even though Western music has an extremely great influence in the world, I always think that folk music is higher than Western music, because we have such a long history, but why can Western music win more popularity, and even after entering our country, we can still seize our market?" ”
Shen Wuhuan nodded and replied: "Folk music is a label, and many people here have this label attached to it, but in fact, music knows no borders, the so-called Western music is local, and it is also a kind of national music in the place where they were born, no matter how you look at it, these things have the same label as ours, but why can people's national music have such a big repercussion in the world, but ours can't?" ”
After Shen Wuhuan raised this question, he asked himself and answered: "It's not that we are poor, it's just that we don't try to get in touch with the outside, in the hundreds of years that we have stagnated, others have developed to a relative height, what can we compare with them?" ”
"We should face up to this situation, instead of blindly raising our opinion of ourselves, yes, folk music does have an extremely long history, but how many folk music inheritances have been broken in this history? I hope that all of you here should think about these things, we are still in this field still follows the natural rules of survival of the fittest, and if we do not progress, we will be eliminated. Now the situation is on the verge of collapse, and if we don't change, it's all over. ”
Shen Wuhuan finally concluded here: "Western music is not better than us, but at present, Western music is indeed better, we have no shame in learning from people who are better than us, and more importantly, the rise of Western music proves the truth of a sentence." ”
"What belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world, and one day we will also walk out of our own way."
This sentence finally ignited the emotions of all the folk musicians present.
For a while, the discussion was loud.
There are even some Western music players who have joined in these discussions and offered advice on folk music.
The people under the cloak of Western music performers still have the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang in their bones.
After a series of heated discussions, Shen Wuhuan motioned for everyone to calm down.
"Next, I prepared a piece of music, some people have heard it, some people have not, but I have rearranged it, using the piano as an ensemble instrument, and added some special effects on the basis of folk music.
Wait a minute=-= Good night everyone
