Verse 6: Determination, The Song of Boyren (Part II)

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The Poetry of Bran, also known as Carmina Burana, also known as The Song of Boylen, was originally the first part of the triumphal trilogy for stage, composed between 1935 and 1936 and first performed in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1937, and is Karl Orff's most famous masterpiece[5]. The lyrics are selected from a 13th-century book of poems found in the Benedict town of Boylen Abbey in the southern Alpine valley of Munich, Bavaria, Germany, and are divided into three main parts in 25 movements: Spring, Little Hotel, and Love.

In 1935, Orff read this collection of poems, and after a lifetime of work in music education, he found a necessary connection at a certain point in time and space, and formed a reflection on human beings and their destiny, resulting in a "secular song for soloists, choirs, instrumental accompaniment, and magical sets." The author calls it a "situational cantata[6]" and asks for it to be performed in the form of a stage work, in order to tell people that the more essential and simple the musical expression, the more direct and intense the effect.

The father of Kleinmilia's husband was an admirer of Carl Orff, and his persistence and fanaticism were manifested in all aspects of his life, including the name "Carl Orff" for his son. Her husband, on the other hand, has been nurtured by his father since he was a child, and has been exposed to "Bran Poetry" for a long time, so he naturally regards him as an eternal classic.

Today, in the Symphony Hall in Dortmund [Wisefalen], the grandeur of Bran's Poetry is about to be staged on the stage, and the even more magnificent "Wheel of Fortune" is about to start its inexorable turn. High up in the building, Higdalifa stood all night without the need for sleep to regain his functions, just to feel the cycle that was born with the dawn in darkness on this special day......

Branah rubbed his big sleepy eyes, and in his field of vision, the familiar five-star red ribbon lay peacefully on the pillow. She thought it was her mother who got up early to find her love, but Colein Mireya knew that this incredible scene and the adventure of the two yesterday were all thanks to the protection of the goddess.

It was almost noon, and Collein Mireia took her daughter, who was used to sleeping in, to the outdoor terrace of the hotel restaurant, and Branagh, who had eaten paella for the first time, quickly smiled into a flower, and dipped her hand in the rice grains that had accidentally fallen on the table, and before eating them all, she asked her mother what it was, and why she had never seen it.

Colein Mireia says it's called Spanish rice, which is a rice-based crop. Most of the staple foods we eat come from wheat, which is widely grown in Europe, and the fruit is ground into flour to make biscuits, bread, noodles and other foods. Countries where rice is grown and rice is a staple food are generally concentrated in Asia, but there are exceptions, such as Valencia, Spain's fish capital, which is rich in gen. The paella in front of you is made with rice with meat and vegetables, and then baked in the oven with a special soup stock, called "Paella".

Branagh didn't seem to understand it, and he didn't even know what the difference was between Europe and Asia. For a child of her age, there is no need to know so much, but with an example, Branah understands: we are in Europe, and the Chinese brother who gave you the red ribbon, he and his friends are from Asia.

"It turns out that the dark-haired brother likes to eat this ......" Branah took two bites of rice, savored it and put down the spoon, "Why don't we grow rice in our hometown?" The daughter's natural curiosity to find out everything, really like her father, Colein Mireya couldn't help sighing: "Rice needs to be soaked in water all year round, the environmental requirements are stricter than wheat, and in order to reduce labor costs, the damage caused by pests and diseases will also affect the yield, so except for the Mediterranean Sea, other European countries do not grow much." ”

Branah went from a problem of a toad jumping into a well, and his mother said that it became a collective toad jumping into a well of many problems, and Coleine Mireya did not take the trouble to explain it one by one. Martha had just stepped into the terrace with her front feet, and she glanced at the annoying little girl who had "had a good conversation" with Orff last night, and thought that if she let the doctor know what she had done to her, it would be bad, so she quickly turned around and pulled Orff and walked back.

"What's wrong with you?"

Orff shook off Martha's hand, even though she was prejudiced against the hotel, but when she decided to come to the outdoor restaurant to eat Spanish food, she didn't object. Ignoring Gross's cold eyes, Martha tried to change places without saying anything. Noah suggested that it would be the Italian restaurant from yesterday, and Martha's principle was not to go back to the place where she had eaten once, and Orff had to accompany her outside to find it.

There was really no way to take Martha, there were more and more people around, and Orff was embarrassed to continue pestering here, so he had no choice but to follow her wishes and leave the Trapp Hotel with her...... At this time, the topic of the other two people not far away has risen from labor costs to the national economy, feeling that Branah does not understand at all but keeps asking questions about those words that have not been heard, Colein Mireya has no choice but to stop them: "Polite child, don't talk when eating." Also, don't eat the food that falls on the table, there are bacteria. ”

Branagh slipped the spoon in his mouth and blinked, "Mom, what is 'bacteria'?" ”

That evening, the traffic in front of the Wittfaren Symphony Hall was completely different from yesterday. The large flow of people who had been waiting for the upcoming festival was orderly, but it flooded all the nearby settlements, as if the entire city had gathered here, leaving Dortmund with a rare empty alley.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of the famous composer and outstanding music educator Carl Orff's "Bran Poems", the concert hall specially invited the famous tenors, falsetto tenors, basses, children's choirs, male and female choirs and orchestras of contemporary Germany to play the common century movement of the whole mankind on time at 7:30 p.m.

Colein Mireia had been waiting in line early on, and her bright orange hair was very conspicuous in the crowd, but her simple dress was quite cold and out of place in the eyes of the well-dressed men and women around her. However, Branah, who was tightly protected by him, has earned everyone's attention, and the creative and beautiful golden five-star braids will be eyed by anyone.

With only half an hour to go, the concert hall staff began to guide the audience through the security checkpoint set up at the entrance to enter with tickets, and behind them several armed anti-terrorist soldiers were equipped by the Ninth Border Guard of the German Federal Police, known as "Grenzschutzgruppe 9 der Bundespolizei" – the famous "GSG-9". For today's pervasive terrorists, judging them is God's business, and GSG-9, known as the "Road to Death", has always been only responsible for sending terrorists to God.

"The struggle for freedom of movement can only succeed if it is simple." Since its inception in 1972, for a long time, the GSG-9 has only appeared after exceptional circumstances, and they have always been able to solve problems quickly in their own way. But today, they came ahead of schedule out of the most straightforward deterrence that anyone can understand: no one, no organization, should try to make trouble at this time and place!

Gross and Noah looked at each other and didn't directly cross the security gate in front of them, because they knew that this would only cause unnecessary trouble. After handing over his personal documents to GSG-9, Gross spread his hands out in front of him and waited for the person in charge of the other party to come over with a gun and ask, "St. GSG'...... What are you doing here? ”

"Accompanied Dr. Karl Orff, who has the honor of 'Blue Cornflower' of the United German Brigade of E, to enjoy the poems of Bran." Noah replied very politely, but the leader of the GSG-9 operation team snorted coldly: "I think back then, the first batch of Star Army Marines of the Holy GSG was still drawn from our GSG-9, and even the name can be said to be in the same vein after the official formation, but I didn't expect you to only do some work as followers and bodyguards." Gross didn't speak, and it was usually Noah who was the one to deal with who was difficult to deal with: "It's not surprising, terrorists only exist on Earth, and we naturally end up idle." ”

After hearing this, the leader of GSG-9 had no reason to get along with them, and waved his hand to let them go. Noah approached and asked what to do with the guns he was carrying, and since he was a guard dignitary, could he be accommodating and let him in? The GSG-9 team leader, regardless of whether they belong to a colleague or not, has been explicitly informed that they will only be allowed to enter if they surrender their weapons. On this point, Gross still agrees, no matter what the identity and status of the other party, the task is the task, the rules cannot be broken, not deliberately aimed at who is embarrassed, but absolutely obeys the order and mission.

Gross and Noah took out their pistols and magazines, respectively, and handed them over along with their combat knives and claw knives. The GSG-9 team leader saw the familiar "[Glocker] 78", and nodded slightly to understand and cooperate with the behavior of the two: "After the performance, you can come to me to retrieve it." ”

This scene made the people in line behind him talk a little, and also attracted Coleinmilia's attention to the VIP passage in front: the man behind the two black-clothed guests had a very good back image of his husband, and he was also blonde! Is it, really...... It's him?!

"Carl !!"

Clein Mireya shouted her name, but was swallowed up by the cacophony of the concert hall. When she walked through the crowd with her daughter in her arms, there was no sign of her husband in front of her, all that was left was the obstruction of the staff and the cold gaze of GSG-9 behind them: "Dear lady, this is an exclusive VIP passage, if you have a VIP ticket, please go to the back and wait for a while, and line up to enter the venue in turn." ”

"Please let me in, the one in front is my husband, and I've been looking for him for a long time! Please, everyone! ”

The staff could see her urgency, but the rules were the rules: "I'm sorry, ma'am." We can't let you through here without showing your VIP ticket. "It's okay...... Fortunately, you can still enter later with a regular ticket. Coleinmirea knew that no one could know how long they had waited for this moment.

Returning to her original team, Celein Mileia took her daughter to the end, only to silently explain herself in her heart: since she has been waiting for so long, why should she care about the short-term torment now? I used to think that my husband was no longer alive, and I was looking for him, but I just had a heart that was about to die, and I don't know when I got the worst result. Now, it turns out that he is still alive, and for whatever reason he has avoided him, it is undoubtedly acceptable compared to all the bad speculations of the past.

The performance scene in the Symphony Hall is surrounded by six areas around the stage, which are located on the front of the first floor, the left and right sides of the second floor, the back of the second floor and the left and right sides of the third floor. From the perspective of the performance, the front of the first floor is undoubtedly the best choice, but the passages on both sides are crowded and the seating settings on this floor are the most, so it is not very quiet. On the whole, the back of the second floor is relatively suitable for VIP seating.

Coleinmilia's seat was on the right side of the front of the first floor, near the highest point of the aisle, but instead of sitting down, she kept standing and staring at the hundred seats in the audience opposite, and after searching back and forth several times, she did not find her husband. However, the two people in the center of the first row look like the black-clothed guests just now? And the two seats between them, one of them was empty!

The performance was about to start in earnest, and Klein Mireia, believing that her hunch would not be wrong, hurriedly picked up the cheerful Brana on the seat and walked quickly to the VIP area on the second floor, borrowing a row of more than a dozen spectators, and went straight to Gross, who was about to start the high art......

"Excuse me...... Is this seat for Mr. Carl Orff? ”

Coleinmilia's voice trembled uncontrollably, and Gross looked up and down at the strange woman and the child in her arms, and her eyes were suddenly full of wariness. "Who are you?" In response to him, Martha, who recognized Branagh's face even worse after the bow on her back.

It turned out that this girl took the red belt back again, sneaked into her room and didn't say anything, but she dared to chase her here to make trouble? I really don't know whether to live or die! Martha took advantage of Dr. Orff's visit to the bathroom and asked Noah to quickly drive the mother and daughter away, but the other party's next words were something that neither she nor Noah expected, and even Gross was surprised by this: "I am his wife, Colein Mireia......"

What the?!

Martha and Noah had never heard of Dr. Orff having a wife, only the older Gross in St. GSG's name, and when they heard the name, they seemed to recall something: Belinda Coleinmileia, the youngest visiting professor in the history of RWTH Aachen University[7], ten years ago, as a distinguished expert in the field of botany, cooperated in the research related to the cultivation of alien plants and soil environmental modification in the United German Brigade, and if I remember correctly, it was Dr. Orff who was in charge of this project at that time! Rumor has it that they once had an unforgettable relationship as colleagues for many years, but for some reason, they didn't make it to the end......

"Shameless!" Without waiting for Gross to speak, Martha got up in front of everyone and slapped Colein Mireya in the face, watching the little girl cry out of her distressed mother, and warned her viciously: "I tell you, even if Dr. Orff has a wife, it will only be me Martha!" What are you? Do you know who he is? An inferior citizen, what qualifications does he have to accompany him to live on another planet in the future?! Hurry up, you know, and don't let me see you again!! ”

"Original...... That's why he left me...... "Colein Mireya couldn't control her tears anymore, not because she was beaten in public, not because she had another woman by her husband's side, but because she ...... The plan had succeeded, and he finally decided to leave for Virgo 70b, the legendary blonde girl.

"You devil! Snatch my bow and bully my mom! Branah's hoarse cry almost provoked a second retaliation, but Martha's right hand was grabbed......

For this woman's shrewd style of talking nonsense when she is angry, Gross has long hated it, and it is a confidential matter of the E United German Brigade, how can she casually reveal it on a certain occasion: "You sit back for me!" Otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful......" The murderous aura in Gross's eyes was indispensable, and Noah hurriedly pulled the frightened Matha back to his seat, and at the same time advised Gross not to make a big deal here, so as not to alarm GSG-9 who was on duty outside the door. Just then, Dr. Orff was back in the VIP area, catching a glimpse of the familiar orange hair of the people sitting next to Gross.

“…… Belinda? ”

The scene had fallen silent, and all that was left was Orff's inclination of disbelief and the tears that came from Corleinmirea's reflection.

After five years of hard searching, and finally when he appeared in front of him safe and sound, at this moment, Colein Mireya had a thousand words accumulated in her heart, but she couldn't say a word. In addition to her former lover, Orff also saw the little girl in her arms, the little sister who knocked on her door yesterday, and slowly approached, with a somewhat complicated expression on her face: "You...... Becoming a mother? ”

"Uncle." Branagh, of course, remembered the gracious man who called himself an "angel", but Coleinmileia gently pressed her daughter's little hand pointing at Orff: "Her name is Karmina Brana[8]. ”

"You actually named her after the Bran Poems, the father of the child...... Won't there be an opinion? Orff was as slow as ever about anything other than his specialty, and Celein Mireya shook her head with a wry smile, "No." The child's grandfather was also so fond of the poems of Bran that he gave his son a strange name. ”

Even Gross understood this, but Orff remained stunned and did not respond for a while.

Karl ...... You are Branagh's father. ”

The lights in the Symphony Hall were fading, and before Orff could take another look at the little girl, there was a burst of applause for the beginning of the prelude "O fortuna"[9].

"I now know why you left in the first place. After the show, I'll wait for you on the other side. Watching Clein Millet take her daughter back to her seat from the other side of the VIP area, Orff sat down, his mind was no longer on the long-awaited Song of the Century, and Gross's subsequent words made him even more deeply uneasy: "Dr. Orff, there are some things that I think you should explain to our St. GSG." ”

…… I have cried bitterly under the blows of fate, and you have been stingy in giving alms for the sake of greedy extortion. Look at this conclusive record, once as rich as the head full of blonde hair, but at that moment it was plundered, and only a barren area remained. In the past, I once soared to the throne of destiny, and I also wore a colorful crown, with infinite wealth, and enjoyed all the glory and wealth. But now I have planted a high position, and I have been stripped of all my glory. The wheel of fortune turned mercilessly, and I was thrown into the abyss; Others ascend to high positions and occupy the pinnacle of glory. O triumphant man—he will not escape the catastrophe of fate! The wheel of fate has long recorded the rise and fall of all things, such as the queen Heguba.

The chorus gives new eternal life to the singular psalm, it is passionate, bold and powerful, but to Orff it sounds like a scolding of his own injustice. However, who can understand that his cruel departure that day was due to his love for her......

Six years ago, with the opening of the interstellar gate "Scythe", the "Blonde Girl" program for Virgo 70b was officially launched, and as one of the main leaders of the alien environment transformation project of the plan, he was ordered to take all his immediate family members to conduct an immigration adaptability test for up to three years after the habitable conditions in some areas of the Blonde Girl Star were reached. This is an order that all researchers involved in the project must accept unconditionally, in order to cut off their attachment to Earth and devote themselves to the construction of a habitable place on another strange planet.

I am willing to dedicate everything to the country, and I am also willing to face unknown challenges for the future of mankind. However, she can't sacrifice her originally happy life, and she can't let her have no choice because she has followed her! Even though the technology of E-Liande Travel Star Navigation has long been mature, even if the Blonde Girl Star has been modified to be habitable for human beings, it is an exoplanet 60 light-years away from the Earth after all! What if something goes wrong...... The consequences were so terrible and lonely that I didn't even dare to imagine it.

The eccentricity of the blonde star orbit is too close to the central star, and the only gateway "sickle" is the only pathway, so it is also extremely unstable. The E-United German Brigade is now trying to open the second interstellar door to the constellation Virgo, "Ears of Wheat", but there has been no breakthrough. In such a situation, how can I rest assured that my lover will go to live for a long time with the team? She is so young, whether it is life or love, she still has a choice......

So, in that spring, just like the spring of the first acquaintance, I unilaterally ended this four-year relationship on the grounds that I didn't believe in each other, quit all my jobs at the University of Dortmund, and hurriedly moved to Berlin, where the headquarters of the E United German Brigade is located, and lived a simple life with only work as a companion. I didn't expect that six years later, I would meet her here again. And she even gave birth to an angelic lovely daughter for herself!

Could it be that everything is providential and predestined?

St. GSG already knew about this and would inevitably report the truth, and the E-United German Brigade would inevitably include her and her daughter in their immediate family, no matter how much they denied it, they always had their way......

If all this is a fate that he can't escape, and his daughter Branah is the goddess given to him by fate, then it is better to ...... than to fight and escape With a repentant heart, go and atone for your sins. This is a hymn to life, open and close. The majestic cry, the euphemistic aria, is like a raging rapids crashing against a rock, or like a babbling stream meandering to a soft grassy beach.

The music and chanting complement each other, and the shocking blow seems to be the call of fate, which strongly strikes Orff's soul.

Life is short, which makes people pity, pity, and lamentation, and secretly has God's gaze. That spring, in the countryside, in the tavern, the pastoral of love, the heroine and Helen...... No matter how many stories happen in it, in the end, it is necessary to welcome her again - fate, the goddess of the world.

The magnificent epic resounded in every corner of the [Westfaren] Symphony Hall, and Orff, who was in it, finally made up his mind at this moment......

Smile and accept the arrangement of fate.
