Section 46 Throwing Bricks and Stones I (1)

“Night time sharpens heightens each sensation ...

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination ...

Silently the senses abandon their defenses ...

Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour...

Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender...

Turn your face away from the garish light of day...

Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light...

And listen to the music of the night... ...”

At night, the sound of the clouds, the leisurely and ethereal soprano and the violin, the slow movement, the careful and euphemistic tearing of the strings, unveiled its dark curtain. PHANTOM TAKES THE GUISE OF A GONDOLA BOATMAN THROUGH THE DRUNKEN STREETS OF 19TH-CENTURY PARIS, WHERE THE SKY IS FULL OF STARS AS BRIGHT AS CRYSTAL LAMPS. Leading Christine, he raised her hand and carefully led her into his underground palace.

The opening is slow and slow and light and light, like a tacit heartfelt complaint between Qin Se, progressively and progressively, starting from a little quiet, starting from a piece of stardust, tearing apart the darkness of the night without a trace. Until again and again, "Listen to the music of the night..." When it is sung repeatedly, the moment Prelude seems to be foreshadowed, and the formal interpretation comes to an abrupt end. The singing gives way to the sound of the piano, and after a melody that becomes more and more high-pitched and intense, the night is completely torn apart.

Unlike all previous versions, the line between lead vocals and accompanists is extremely blurred. Instrumental music and singing alternately become the protagonists of the song. Sometimes the high-pitched singing voice is combined with the penetrating loud piano sound, sometimes the rough performance is combined with the soft chanting, sometimes complementing each other, sometimes not giving in to each other, and sometimes even going the other way. In the whole process, while constantly seeking balance and harmony, it also constantly destroys balance and harmony, thus pushing the emotions down again and again, and the huge ups and downs and impacts that arise from this vividly vent the inner contradictions of the characters at the same time, but also greatly stir the hearts of the audience.

This is undoubtedly a rare musical feast, and the audience listens silently and with bated breath. Haixin sat quietly in it, recalling her sister's introduction to the characters just now. PHANTOM's love is a noble love that is willing to sacrifice and does not ask for anything in return, but in the end, it cannot give birth to a killing demon because of its request. The existence of two completely different qualities from the characters at the same time should be the original intention of the sister to choose this way of interpretation. But as we all know, the beauty of music lies in harmony. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to merge two completely different or even opposite qualities to achieve harmony. However, my sister only relied on a little inspiration from other people's performances, relying on communication for at most a few minutes before the scene, and almost improvised, with almost 100% completion. Haixin has always regarded her sister as an imaginary enemy, but at this time she feels that she is so self-conscious. Tonight, she was ashamed of the superb singing skills of the contestants countless times, but she was not as on pins and needles as she was at the moment.
