Although in this aspect of education, Zhang Jiashi's wives and concubines, including Chun Yuqiu, can be said to be quite passable in this aspect of teaching.

But as his baby son, Zhang Jiashi naturally has to take care of it.

And when others were communicating, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but sigh, because he found that some things were really too much for himself.

Or that this is something that cannot be done right now.

And this thing is that Zhang Jiashi hopes to form a military band before this great court meeting, and then find some suitable people to train military music and dance music belonging to the Great Qin Empire.

It's like the King of Qin during the Tang Dynasty......

......

The name "military band" originated in the late 18th century and was mainly used to refer to the military band group in the army, which consisted of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments. But later, these bands in the army interacted more and more with the urban people, and the people also produced a large number of bands composed of brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments. So people also called this kind of band a military band. As a result, the word "military" in the original name became more and more ambiguous. Although there are many non-governmental, college and other groups also have many similar bands, they are all customarily called military bands, and some are called pipe bands.

And this statement comes from the Grove's "Dictionary of Music and Musical Instruments" published in the United Kingdom in 1982.

In the history of the development of military bands, military bands in the past were far less complete and large than today's military bands. There are no hard and fast rules on the formation of a marching band. Different music groups in different countries have their own standards, and the difference is only in the details. But there is a basic principle that the clarinet (clarinet) is the dominant lineup in an orchestra (the equivalent of a violin lineup in an orchestra). The Chinese modern professional military band (or wind band) is composed of: 1 piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboees, 2 flat E flat monopipes, 10 B flat monopipe pipes, 2 bassoons, 2 E flat alto saxophones, 2 B flat alto saxophones, 1 E flat bass saxophone, 4 F horns, 4 B flat alto horns, 1 B flat bass horn, 6 trumpets, 6 trombones, 2 tuba, 1 snare drum, 1 snare drum, 1 cymbal, a total of about 50-60 people. In case of major occasions, it will be multiplied proportionally.

He often plays timpani and bass cello at concerts. The early marching bands were less pompous. For example, the military band of King Louis XIV of France was composed of only four different oboees (one is said to be three types of double reed and bassoon) and snare drums. By the 18th century, King Frederick II of Prussia had developed again. He expanded the band into a mixed organization of woodwind and brass instruments, including oboe, clarinet, French horn, bassoon, flute, trumpet, and bassoon. The Royal Artillery Military Band also has a variety of instruments including trumpet, French horn, oboe (or clarinet) and bassoon. The French Revolution and Napoleon's reign greatly contributed to the development of military bands. Mainly from the lineup, the military band at that time already had 42 members. In terms of numbers alone, there are a few more than today's marching bands. By the middle of the 19th century, the newly invented saxophone was immediately and rapidly equipped with military bands, and although it was not spectacular compared to modern orchestras, it was a luxury enough at the time.

For example, the staffing of the military band is not a problem for Zhang Jiashi, but the instruments of the military band are not something that Zhang Jiashi, who lacks relevant information at present, can make drums with his current craftsmanship.

Zhang Jiashi believes in one thing, that is, there are several musical instruments, not to mention now, I am afraid that even the scientific and technological level of the Song Dynasty in later generations will not be able to make them. Especially the saxophone that only appeared in the mid-nineteenth century.

......

The saxophone is made of metal, with a large amplitude of strength, comparable to other brass instruments in terms of sound dynamics, and is also unmatched by other woodwind instruments. In terms of performance, because its structure is designed using the scientific principle of Bohm flute keys, its mechanical system is relatively reasonable, and the use of parts is flexible. Therefore, it can play difficult pieces like flutes and clarinets. At the same time, compared with other woodwind instruments, it has its own unique characteristics in playing portamento, vibrato, articulation, and overblowing.

The saxophone was invented in 1840 by the Belgian Adolf Sachs. Adolf was an avid instrument maker and specialised in clarinet and flute playing. His original idea was to design a bass instrument for the orchestra that would be more flexible than the Orfclyde horn and could be adapted to outdoor performances. He combined and improved the mouthpiece of the bass clarinet and the body of the Opclyde horn, naming the new instrument after himself.

In 1841, the first bass-pitched C saxophone was presented to the public in Brussels. Some say that the saxophone was maliciously kicked and could not be exhibited, while others say that it was displayed under the cover of a curtain to prevent plagiarism.

In 1842 Adolf's friend Berlioz, who was influential in Parisian musicians' circles, was very impressed with the saxophone, and on March 13 he introduced this "modified open-pore tuba". On June 12th, he wrote an article again to promote the saxophone, making the saxophone known to the world.

Later, Adolf was personally attacked by a combination of competitors, and the saxophone was boycotted and not widely used. At that time, composers were more cautious and less likely to include the saxophone in orchestras. It is said that at that time, the saxophone was once exported abroad with its trademark erased, and then anonymously introduced to France. In 1845, the Ministry of Justice wanted to improve the old military band, and on April 22, at the Pâteau de Mars under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, a contest between Adolf's band and his traditional band was held at the Champ de Mars under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the audience decided the winner. Dramatically, the musicians on Adolf's side were even absent for several days, and Adolf filled in the blanks and played two saxophones alternately. The new band's musical effect completely outperformed that of the traditional band, and the audience completely fell to Adolf's side. So the saxophone was the first to make his mark in the marching band;

On June 29, 1846, the saxophone family was granted a French patent.

In 1928, French classical saxophonists founded the first saxophone quartet.

After 1910, jazz rose in the United States, and the saxophone played an integral role in it.

From the above records, it can be shown that the production process of the saxophone is undoubtedly a great difficulty compared to the current scientific and technological level of the Great Qin Empire. With the corresponding copper tube polishing, the internal polishing technology is probably something that the Great Qin Empire cannot do at the moment.

Although Zhang Jiashi can adopt ancient instruments in terms of military band instruments, it is not by chance that Zhang Jiashi believes that the saxophone can become popular.

The saxophone is played with a single reed, and the structure of the opening and closing sound holes is similar to that of the oboe, and the range is similar to that of the oboe, which should be a woodwind instrument, but the pipe body is made of copper and can be a brass instrument. It's thin and thick at the top and mouth up, much like a bass clarinet. There are many types of saxophones, from bass to treble, and all of them are transposed instruments. The saxophone has an unusually rich and charming sound, resembling brass when played strongly and woodwinds when playing weakly, making it a perfect partner for the wind instrument category.

French composers such as Bizet and Saint-Saëns used the saxophone in their works. The saxophone is also an indispensable instrument in jazz bands and trumpet bands.

There are four types of saxophone that are commonly used: the b-flat soprano saxophone. E-flat alto saxophone. B-flat subtone saxophone. Eprano upper bass saxophone.

The fingering of the several saxophones is basically the same (there is an extra bass A key in the upper bassoon, and the new saxophone has a #f and G keys), and all are transposed instruments, which are notated with a treble clef.

The French composer Berlioz once wrote: "The main characteristic of the saxophone is the wonderful variation of timbre, deep and calm, emotional, soft and melancholy, like an echo within an echo, in a moment of silence, no other instrument can produce such a wonderful sound." ”

The saxophone has also been hailed as an "incomparable merry instrument".

The saxophone is not only good at playing classical music, but also good at playing jazz and light music, and the first instrument that comes to mind when people think of jazz is the saxophone. The biggest feature of jazz is improvisation, in which the strong and weak beats are inverted, and the technique of continuous syncopation is adopted, so that the rhythm changes endlessly, and the timbre is full of drama, which is both fierce and deep, both funny and sad. In terms of timbre, the saxophone adapts to the needs of the greatest characteristics of jazz improvisation in terms of playing portamento, vibrato, spit and overblowing. Therefore, improvisation has also become a performance characteristic sought after by saxophonists.

In a way, this also represents that if the Qin King breaks the array, if he uses the saxophone and other Western instruments, he may have a good feeling in many aspects.

"Qin King Breaking Array Music" is "Qin King Breaking Array Dance", also known as "Seven Virtues Dance" is a famous song and dance song in the Tang Dynasty, originally a military song in the early Tang Dynasty, in 620 AD, Qin King Li Shimin defeated the rebel Liu Wuzhou, consolidating the newly established Tang regime; Therefore, his soldiers filled in the new words with the old song and sang a hymn for Li Shimin: "Accept the law to resign the head of state, and the prime minister will beg the traitors." The salty song "Breaking the Array Music", appreciating the Taiping people. "The emperor of the four seas is quilted, and the water is clear for thousands of years; "The Lord is holy to open the Chang calendar, and the ministers are loyal to the Great You; ”

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he personally choreographed this piece into a dance, and then after the processing and sorting of the court artists, it became a huge and magnificent large-scale music and dance. The original tune is mixed with the tone of the turtle, which is tactful and beautiful, high and very appealing. At the same time, there is a large court band accompaniment, the big drum shook the sky, the sound of hundreds of miles, the momentum is majestic, moving the heavens and the earth. This song and dance made all the officials excited when they saw it, and they were very excited. Nowadays, when this dance is performed, even foreign guests can't help but dance along with it. The symbol of the heyday of the Chinese nation is really extraordinary.

The history of the development of King Qin's Broken Array Music is as follows:

In 620, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, broke the rebel general Liu Wuzhou, relieved the danger of the Tang Dynasty, Hedong (Shanxi Yongji) Shishu sang and danced in the road, and the soldiers used the old songs in the army to fill in the new words and celebrate the victory. At the beginning of Zhenguan (627), Tang Taizong Zhao Wei Zheng and others added 7 lyrics, and Lu Cai composed a song for the rhythm, which was set as "Qin Wang Breaking the Array Music". In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin personally made the "Breaking Array Dance Map", and processed the dance: left circle, right side, first deviation, then Wu, Yuli, goose through, Ji Zhang, wing Shu, staggered bending and stretching, head and tail back and forth, back and forth, like the shape of a battle array. The dance changes three times, each becomes four formations, counting twelve formations, corresponding to the song festival. Ling Lu Cai taught 120 musicians (one said 128) according to the map, wearing armor and holding halberds, and performing exercises, which was named "The Dance of Seven Virtues". All officials and "barbarian chiefs" who feast on more than three grades are played outside the Xuanwu Gate. Beat the big drum, the sound shook for hundreds of miles, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent. Later, 2,000 people were used to lead the team into the stadium, which was particularly spectacular.

On the third day of the first month of the first year of Zhenguan (627), the first year after Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, feasted the ministers and played the "Music of King Qin Breaking the Array", which was the first time that this song was played on such a solemn and solemn occasion. In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin drew the "Breaking Array Music Map", which made the musician and Taichang Cheng Lu Cai process and compile the music, and ordered Li Baiyao, Yu Shinan, Chu Liang, Wei Zheng and others to make lyrics, and ordered Lu Cai to rehearse according to the dance map, which became the "Breaking Array Music" that was circulated in later generations. "Breaking the Array Music" has been circulating for nearly 300 years from the early Tang Dynasty to the late Tang Dynasty. "Breaking the Array Music" became famous abroad with the momentum of the Tang Dynasty, and the prestige of Tang Taizong Li Shimin.

In later generations, the music of the Qin King breaking the array has been lost in China, but Japan also retained the corresponding score of that year in the later period through the corresponding exchanges during the period of sending Tang envoys.

Zhang Jiashi's Qingyu Lingshu also has relevant information in this regard, but Zhang Jiashi has to think that there is one point, that is, the Qin King Breaking Array Music is really not suitable as a song for military bands, not to mention that this music is more inclined to the palace war dance, and in terms of the number of people, its corresponding dancers are also a problem.

And more importantly, many of the instruments used in the Qin King Breaking Array Music really can't be used as a common configuration for military bands because of their size.

After all, if he still let his military band act with the army during the war, he still carried a lot of bloated and huge musical instruments as playing instruments, Zhang Jiashi himself would not have made such considerations.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi hoped to make some small wind instruments that were easy to carry, so as to develop the military band system of the Great Qin Empire.

Zhang Jiashi knew one thing, if he could do this, then it would not be too difficult for the Great Qin Empire to popularize its own military songs.

Zhang Jiashi knows that at present, the army of the Great Qin Empire already has its own prototype of military songs, that is, the famous "Qin Feng No Clothes" is the famous song sung by the current Emperor of Great Qin:

Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Hatred with the Son! How can it be said that there is no clothing? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son!
