Chapter 118: The gods sing in duet, and the colorful clouds chase the moon and their hearts are sealed
A song can be said to be a good song if it can make people feel pleasure after listening to it, bring fun and spiritual enjoyment, even if it is only temporary.
And some songs, in addition, can make people have endless aftertastes after listening to them, and they can't stop it, like a lingering sound, which lasts for three days, then it can be called a masterpiece.
This is the case with this Cantonese opera minor, and even bolder it is not an exaggeration to call it a classic in advance.
For local audiences, this is the long-lost, real Lingnan Cantonese rhyme.
The lyrics are elegantly and vulgarly, both classical and easy to understand, making the audience feel more intimate, although its structure is simple, but the arrangement is also exquisite and ingenious.
The content is about a woman who cares about her lover thousands of miles away, worried that he will change her mind, and hopes to be reunited as soon as possible, and the wanderer who is away also misses her hometown and lover.
So, this pair of lovers who are separated from each other look at the bright moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, sing their hearts in the air, say to each other, and tell their deaths.
is in response to what Su Bai said before singing, the bright moon sends lovesickness, the end of the world at this time, although they can't meet for thousands of miles, but women have lovers and men are righteous, and that kind of beauty has a heart, which has warmed people's hearts and overflowed their chests.
Listeners who can't understand the lyrics in Cantonese dialects don't really matter, because music with real charm can speak, and it can always hit the softest in your heart, so that you can listen to it fascinated and add your head.
This Cantonese opera minor key is used in Su Bai's previous life, which was known as "national symphonic music" in China, and was called "Butterfly Love" Concerto and "Romeo and Juliet of the East" by music critics abroad.
With the blessing of this divine work, why should we understand the lyrics?
The audience only needs to immerse themselves in the beautiful melody and recall their own stories, and the beautiful notes will naturally string up scenes in people's minds.
Such as meeting, acquaintance, acquaintance, love, and parting with your lover...... The mood is also happy or sad with the ups and downs of the music.
When the pain and longing of sorrow fill the heart, accompanied by the sentence "Mid-Autumn Moon Shadow cleans away sorrow", even if you can't understand the lyrics, the romantic and beautiful theme will resurface lightly, eliminating the sorrow in your heart......
This is the beauty of music, like the beauty of nature, it may always be difficult to express, but it will always blend with the light of your heart, and it will become a beautiful spiritual encounter, which will be endlessly memorable.
This is true for non-professionals, but for those who are insiders, it is even more of a critical hit.
Although the song is short, in the creation of the song, it boldly adopts the expression technique of integrating Western symphony and traditional folk opera music, and then fills in the lyrics and sings it in the form of local Cantonese opera.
At the same time, innovations and improvements have been made in the traditional singing of Cantonese opera, making it sound without losing the essence of Cantonese rhyme, and full of popular and fashionable musical elements.
This kind of operation, not only is it a super god, it is simply a super god, but anyone who knows how to do it is a little difficult not to be shocked to the point of numbness......
After a short silence at the scene, a tsunami-like cheer and scream suddenly erupted, and everyone stood up, as if they had lost their sense of pain, and clapped their palms wildly!
"Huh~, what a ghost, no, it's a demon!"
"Such a talent is really rare, you really dug up a big treasure this time, hahaha!"
In the audience, a big leader of the cultural and tourism department stood up, applauding excitedly, and said excitedly to Xu Lao beside him.
"Haha, baby is baby, but this kid is not so good, tsk, a bad body, and very slippery, as the so-called jade is not cut, it is not a weapon, you still have to beat and knock more."
Xu Lao couldn't help laughing, although he seemed to complain about Su Bai's various "bad deeds", but his appreciation and smug look in his heart couldn't be hidden.
"Hey, genius, it's inevitable that you have weird personalities, it's not a big deal."
The leader smiled and waved his hand, and sighed: "Ouch, after listening to this song, I'm afraid that I won't know the taste of meat in March, I don't know what other wonderful songs are behind it, anyway, I'm a little unimaginable now."
"Haha, we'll just see."
Xu Lao said this, but his face was already filled with a mysterious smile.
Because when he first saw Su Bai, he always thought so much when he was shocked that his whole body was numb.
However, here, in him, there is never the most exciting, only more exciting.
So if you want to say this, Xu Lao's confidence is bursting, as long as Su Bai doesn't stop shouting, then the next thing will only be more exciting and shocking!
After the boiling sound of the scene stopped, the wonderful "Mid-Autumn Festival Song Party" continued.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you again Ms. Peng Hui, okay, let's move on! Next, a song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" is sent to everyone, applause, please applaud, Southern Red Bean Quyi Society - Teacher Lin Qun!"
Su Bai did not procrastinate, after singing the song, he immediately continued, presided over the newspaper curtain and sang, and gave full play to the stunt of "universal miscellaneous".
And the sound of the scene, which was finally suspended for a while, immediately exploded again, and the same is true of the barrage in the live broadcast room.
「666666!」
"Haha, there's more!"
"Keep going, don't stop!"
"Roar, my brother didn't end up, is it also a duet this time?"
"Absolutely, Wuhu, cool!"
"Weakly ask, I really don't know much about Cantonese opera and Cantonese opera, I feel that the applause at the scene is fiercer than when Teacher Peng Hui came on the stage, this teacher is very strong and strong?"
"Haha, you don't know about this, Teacher Lin Qun is ......."
"Hey, why do you talk so much, just two words, fairy!"
"Poof! Although I don't know it, I can already see that the Southern Red Bean Ball is all ruthless!"
"Yes, let me tell you so, any one of those accompanists will come out, and they are all masters in the Cantonese opera circle."
"Good fellow, I'll just say, that piece of music just played is really amazing!"
"Boo, Caiyun chases the moon, I feel so beautiful when I look at the title of the song, I'm looking forward to it!"
「......」
Water friends are constantly talking about it.
Su Bai is still on the stage, which is enough for the fans who love him to be excited, and for those who like Cantonese opera, Mr. Lin Qun's strength does not need to be blown too much.
The three generations of the Lin family are all masters, and their status and influence in the Cantonese opera circle can be seen.
At the same time, the title of the song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" made the audience fall into a beautiful reverie in an instant.
Most of the traditional music of the flower growers has literary titles, and the titles of freehand works often use concise and poetic words to point out a certain emotional range or a certain artistic conception of the music, inspiring the listener's association and guiding the listener to appreciate the meaning.
"Colorful clouds" have always been a symbol of auspiciousness in flower growers, and there is also a saying that "watching colorful clouds month by month to clear the heart and clear the soul".
Therefore, just seeing the four words "colorful clouds chasing the moon", an ethereal and beautiful, auspicious musical conception is already rushing to the face.
It directly foreshadows a picture of the beautiful night sky in the minds of the audience, "color" represents the color, the night when you can see the color, it must not be very dark, there is some moon light, the moonlight is like water, clear and transparent.
The word "chasing" gives the picture a sense of movement, and there is some vitality in the haze, and the clouds and the moon chase each other against the background of the faint night.
In addition, the title of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" contains the beautiful meaning of the immortals riding the colorful auspicious clouds and running to the Moon Palace.
Therefore, Su Bai just reported the title of the song, which had already exploded the expectations of the audience.
At this moment, everyone has a feeling in their hearts that "my intuition tells me that this song must be beautiful".
In fact, this song is the kind of beautiful crying.
"Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" is one of the most famous pieces in Su Bai's previous life of Guang music, first seen in the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang when he was the governor of Liangguang once copied this piece to Ouchi to play.
Later, Ren Guang and Nie Er, the two immortals, adapted "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" into a national orchestral piece, and since then, this piece has been widely circulated, and it can be said to be a must-have repertoire for Mid-Autumn Festival parties across the country in the previous life.
For people in previous lives, if they didn't listen to this song during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the taste of the entire Mid-Autumn Festival would probably be less than half.
There are also infinite versions of the lyrics and adaptations of this song, only the domestic version, in fact, there are already more points, such as Qu Chunquan version, Zhu Mingying version, Cantonese opera version, Tianyou Nishang version, Huang Huanchan version and so on.
In addition, the famous ones are Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, etc., which is basically East Asia and Southeast Asia, and there are Chinese people in it, and its influence is huge.
What Su Bai and Teacher Lin Qun are going to sing today is, of course, the Cantonese opera version, and Su Bai's personal favorite is also this version.
It's too late, it's too soon.
Teacher Lin Qun has already taken the stage in warm applause, and the accompanist is also ready.
The attentive audience could see that this time the musicians' instruments were all changed back to traditional instruments.
In the anticipation of the audience, the musical instruments sounded in unison!
An ethereal, beautiful and ethereal prelude music ripples through the air with a sense of leisurely and unhurried.
The feeling of leisurely and unhurried is from the relaxed and light lining of the rhythm of Qinqin, Yangqin and Ruandan, which not only makes the music peaceful, but also reveals a quiet vitality in the peace.
The ethereal beauty and ethereal feeling are mixed with the percussion sounds of wooden fish and hanging cymbals, which not only set off the openness and remoteness of the night, but also add a bit of mystery.
Under the light rhythm of the plucked instrument and the plucked strings of the bass instrument and the empty timbre of the hanging cymbals, the music immediately vividly depicts the charming scenery of the vast night sky, and at the same time, it also highlights the typical style of Guangle that is leisurely and elegant, light and unique.
The sense of relaxation of the ordinary life of the ordinary citizens seems to be permeated everywhere, and the prelude of just twenty seconds has already scratched the ears and hearts of the audience.
"Boom, it's really beautiful to cry!"
"Ahh
"No, hold on, I don't believe it!"
"Come on, just now!"
「......」
At this moment, a certain little fan girl who was "tortured" by Su Bai's unreasonable amazement and began to "rebel" thought so in her heart.
At this time, I only heard Su Bai change to a female voice and sing: "The bright moon shines on the seashore, thousands of miles of silver, the jade is dust-free, and the fragrance of flowers is dark."
"Hiss~~!"
"Perverted, huh?"
In an instant, the beautiful and natural and pure female voice of the drama was soft and moving, making her feel as if there was an electric current rushing through her body.
However, even though her scalp was numb and goosebumps began to rise unreasonably, she gritted her teeth, held back her screams, and only said in her heart: Hmph, I know!
Since ancient times, men and women have been matched, and they are not tired of working.
Singing with Teacher Peng Hui, he used a male voice, and a male chorus with Teacher Lin Qun, presumably it will be replaced by a female voice, hum, this kind of little trick, my sister has already seen through it!
With psychological expectations and sufficient psychological preparations in advance, although it was a hard gasp, it could be regarded as the first wave of kneeling to bear this opening.
But before she had time to get hurt, the second wave of amazing shockwaves came immediately!
"The night is charming, the dream is charming, and the spring night adds charm."
Teacher Lin Qun picked up the last sentence
, her "Dao Heart", which had not yet stabilized, was instantly shaken a little more.
Mr. Lin Qun's voice has a unique kind of deep and majestic, plump and rich rhyme, and can be quite chic in the high register, high-pitched and agitated and reveal the essence of elegance.
"Whew~~!"
"I'll bear it!"
She clenched her fists, although she was already shaky, but she finally resisted this wave again.
What is still supporting her is that after looking left and right, everyone seems to be holding back, why can't I help it?
As everyone knows, everyone's situation is similar to her, and they are all on the verge of emotional outburst.
Because this song, in addition to the pentatonic melody rich in national color, it also innovatively adopts the foreign "modulation" creative technique, more precisely, the free modulation of the upper fifth.
Modulation, also known as shifting, is a commonly used melodic development technique in music creation, and can be subdivided into "strict modulation", "continuous modulation", "free touching", etc., among which "free modulation" is the most used, and if it is used cleverly, it can push the development of melodic emotions to a new peak.
To put it more simply, "modulation" means that the same melody is played repeatedly, but the pitch is different when repeated, so that the emotion of the performance is reflected from it, and the audience's emotions are progressively improved with the repetition of the melody over and over again.
If the audience's emotions are compared to a ball of air, it will naturally explode with a "boom" after continuous progression and compression to a critical point.
In Guang music, the most classic repertoire using this technique is naturally "Backgammon", after the traditional folk music adopts the foreign touch method, not only does not lose the characteristics of the work, but is unique and interesting.
The reason why the song is named "Backgammon" is actually related to the ascending and descending of the music at the structural level.
In the pop music scene in Hong Kong, the band Beyond is also fond of this technique, and it can be felt in many of their songs.
In this song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon", accompanied by the repetition of the melody of the song and the progression of emotions, in addition to giving the audience an ultimate aesthetic experience of "the crystal clear beauty of the Moon Palace seems to slowly lift the veil with the gently swaying music", their emotions have gradually progressed to a critical point of explosion at this moment.
At this moment, seeing Su Bai again is like a young girl, looking at Teacher Lin Qun with both shyness and affection: "The evening breeze is gentle."
"Boom!"
In an instant, in the deepest part of the soul, it was as if a mushroom egg had been detonated, and even the soul was trembling!
The audience couldn't hold back any longer and screamed in unison:
Ahh
