Chapter 344: Empty Mountain Bird Language
Jin Feng had no intention of stopping, and Chen Lang was naturally embarrassed to let Jin Feng stop.
There are many national musical instruments, and Jin Feng picked up an erhu casually.
"This is the erhu, someone has played it before." Jin Feng held the erhu high, and for many people, although the erhu is familiar, they have never paid specific attention to it.
Yue Yue played the erhu in front, but the current living environment of the erhu is too bad, there is no room for development, really as Yang Han said, Tianqiao begging only uses this thing, and the music is mainly poignant.
To say that Jin Feng knows a lot of erhu songs, not to mention "Erquan Reflecting the Moon", even other erhu songs can be pulled out.
"Many people look down on folk music and think it's a bit earthy, but what I want to say is that folk music is not earthy at all, but very foreign, and the erhu is not all sad and sad songs, there are some other songs, I will show you today."
After speaking, Jin Feng found a stool and sat down directly.
What kind of tune do you play? Jin Feng thought about it for a while and decided to play "Empty Mountain Bird Language".
Many people don't know this song, but it should be noted that this piece is very classic, and has been awarded the Chinese Twentieth Century Music Classic Works Award.
Chen Lang didn't expect that Jin Feng would also play erhu, but he was very much looking forward to it.
Yang Han breathed a sigh of relief, this golden wind began to wave, the piano music in front of him was already very amazing, I didn't expect to come to erhu, isn't this asking for trouble for myself?
"The Bird of the Empty Mountain" is divided into five parts, with an introduction and an ending, which is actually seven parts.
As soon as Jin Feng made a move, everyone felt the difference.
Everyone felt as if the birds were chirping from a corner from time to time, and then the echo came from the other side of the valley, and no one had ever thought that the erhu could play such music.
Chen Lang is also listening to this song, his appreciation angle is different from the audience, he appreciates it from other aspects.
The first is the introduction part, the introduction part should be the presentation section of the theme of the whole song, Jin Feng in this part, the melody all adopts the forward leaning tone pattern, but there is no sense of boredom, the reason is that Jin Feng has made different changes in the length of each leaning tone, the repetition of the leaning note and the upper octave of different lengths, the remoteness of the valley, the crispness of the birdsong, in this only three tones of the image depicted vividly.
It's really amazing, and with this introduction alone, this piece won't be too bad.
At the end of the introduction, the first paragraph is below.
Here the last two sections of the introduction are continued, at first slowly, and then gradually increasing, as if the birds of the valley were interested in singing by the cry of the near and far at the beginning, and they rushed up, and they were full of activity.
Chen Lang continued to secretly analyze in his heart, the first paragraph began to continue the melodic tone of the last two bars of the introduction, which should be the first two bars, and the melodic lines rose and fell in order.
The upper and lower lines of the music in the lower section are derived directly from the first and fourth measures of the upper section.
The tempo at the beginning of this section follows the slow tempo of the introductory section, and gradually increases. The use of jumping intervals here not only forms the division of sentences and pauses between paragraphs, but also indicates the use of this thematic tone pattern in the backend, making the musical image more unified.
It's very good, and this is also in line with the multi-stage structure of "scattered, slow, medium, fast, and scattered" in traditional Chinese music, and Chen Lang has never heard this song.
The piece then moves on to the second section.
I don't know if other people can hear it, anyway, Chen Lang can hear it, the first four bars of the second section of music are amplified by the beginning of the first paragraph, through the use of double sentences, constriction techniques, and the melodic writing technique of descending the scale and "fish biting the tail", the music material that repeatedly echoes the beginning of the first paragraph enters the repeated performance, and the collocation of the music material is not only novel, but also very rigorous and orderly; The mood of the music is further enriched and vivid, with melodies one after another, with a strong sense of musical layering, and in this new section that has been extended on a wider scale, it seems that you can see a flock of birds flying, chasing each other and playing.
It's so powerful, it's really very powerful, Chen Lang is about to admire the five-body throw, this golden wind is really invincible.
The third section begins with a fifth-degree interval relationship inherited from the introductory theme, and this section is dominated by jumping into the melody progression, like a lively scene of energetic birds stamping back and forth. The tempo changes back to the original Allegro.
The speed of the fourth melody is still very fast, when Jin Feng is technique of perpetuating the third chord, Chen Lang was stunned, what kind of technique is this? He'd never seen it before, it was a new method, but it worked very well.
This performance, which uses the decomposition of major third chords and quickly borrows from the same wheel finger technique used in plucked string instruments, seems to depict a large number of birds rushing to chirp and chirping to form a cascading sound.
The fifth section of the golden wind began to use a large number of glissandos, and used the big jump progression, as well as the change and contrast of the pitch and timbre, and the dexterous decoration, vividly depicting the bird's cry from different corners, and the different bird calls depicted the characteristics of different birds, which was intended to render the artistic conception of the hollow valley echo and form a distant echo with the introductory theme.
The cologue recreates the beginning of the first stanza, and the closing sentence again uses the breakdown of the major third chord, with a slower tempo, and the whole piece ends in a bright musical mood.
At the end of the whole piece, Chen Lang had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't expect that such a master would come out of a musical instrument competition that seemed to him to be unprofessional, not to mention the piano music in front, this erhu application technique was completely beyond his imagination.
And this piece is not a simple national music, to be precise, it has the characteristics of both national music and Western music, which can be said to be an attempt to combine East and West, and I have to say that this is a mature song.
The audience was also stunned, they hadn't heard the erhu song, but it was the first time to hear a song like this, Jin Feng was really a god, he could use the piano to simulate the buzzing of bees, and he could also use the erhu to simulate the call of birds.
It seems that this folk music is no worse than Western music, and it can be said that the two have their own characteristics.
Do you want to continue? Everyone looked at Jin Feng with a blank eye.
