Chapter 265: Fate
Under everyone's questioning gaze, Yu Hai's hands waved downward, restrained and powerful.
The strings and clarinets that received the signal were like a well-trained army, without the slightest hesitation or sluggishness.
"Wow Pedal Pedal ~"
"Wow Pedal Pedal ~"
Four strong notes, three short and one long, high in front and low in the back, are like fate knocking on the door, and at this moment, it is so abrupt, and it is stunned to knock on the eardrums of all the listeners.
Their hearts began to contract violently, and for no apparent reason, they felt as if they were about to die.
Yu Hai stood straight on the command seat, his eyes as bright as stars slowly closing.
Silently turned on a halo effect after the system was upgraded again: sound immersion.
As long as he participates in the performance, the audience's minds will be more picturesque.
His ears were sharper than ever, and the movements of his hands were free and graceful, but not lacking in delicacy.
Throughout the stage, all the musicians are tacitly combined into a large instrument with a complex structure and cumbersome operation.
Do what he does and what he asks, and make the sound he wants to be heard.
On stage, the music staggered forward and gathered strength, while the audience's faces were still frozen in their previous doubts and doubts.
Until the gloomy and cold came like a wave.
Everyone's faces changed to a serious and uneasy expression.
A tense, serious, radical atmosphere spread throughout the concert hall.
An indescribable sense of oppression grows in the hearts of many people, and many images are conjured up in their minds.
It's the fear of the sudden.
Uneasiness when things turn out unpredictably.
Fear of the oncoming escape of bad news.
The inability to break free from hardship, the inability to solve problems.
All the composers, especially the few Qu fathers, looked more serious than ever.
At the first time, they sensed that this performance was unusual.
On stage, Yu Hai's emotions were also unprecedentedly invested in this work.
In his past life and this life, this is the first time he has such great empathy for a song.
The word fate does have an extraordinary meaning for a traverser.
He couldn't help but recall many images of his past life.
The comparison between the past and the present life made him feel more intuitively the injustice of fate and the absolute strictness and cruelty.
He had also tried very hard to refuse to hear fate knock on the door.
He used to be screaming in pain, asking why he hated fate for treating him the way he did.
Fortunately, not everything is aggressive, and in desperate times, there is always a glimmer of hope that inspires people.
Just when many people are feeling a little suffocated.
In the 48th second, the appearance of the French horn is like a touch of warmth and softness in the cruel life.
The short transition sentence has only six notes, and the tonality shifts from the main key to the major key.
Like light shining on the darkness, the lyrical and bright melody eases the tension of many people.
However, the composer can hear the first theme that has not completely disappeared.
From the point of view of music theory, this work, with its concise and easily recognizable four-note motive, is enough to make such a grand form that they can dig into and think about it.
However, these professionals on the scene did not have the energy to think about this.
They were like ordinary listeners, all their emotions rising and falling with the fluctuation of the notes, and together with the whale falling on the podium, they tried to watch this fate crush.
The darkness has always existed, and the cruelty of fate has been in hot pursuit.
Thus, there is a contest and struggle between the strong, tight staccato and the long, melodious melody.
The constant switching between the two themes of darkness and light, despair and hope, strengthens the instability of the music itself, enriches the connotation of the work, and makes the audience feel more immersive.
Yu Hai's expression was serious, and his eyes became extraordinarily deep with the development of music.
The painful struggles of the past were integrated into the expression of this piece.
In the minds of the listeners, it seems that there was once a figure who was about to fall into the abyss, trying to get up in the mud of the torrential rain and hurry.
Fell, got up again, staggered, and kept going.
They felt the anger and helplessness, and their teeth gritted unconsciously.
Finally, the first movement reaches its climax, with intense harmonic developments and stark contrasts in dynamics bringing this struggle to a climax.
Fate is so impermanent, hesitation and struggle have always existed, full of indignation but not knowing what the direction is.
In the minds of the audience, the figure roaring up to the sky in the heavy rain.
It seems to have the face they once were.
End of the first movement.
The concert hall suddenly quieted down, and many of the audience who originally thought they were just here to join in the excitement woke up from a dream.
Suddenly, they were surprised to find that they seemed to understand what the piece of music had just said.
The clear and clear emotion, the empathy that seems to be there, and the resonance that triggers their own encounters, are something they have not been able to experience when they listen to pure music before.
"Fate!"
Someone muttered to himself, chewing on these two words.
It seems that I have a bunch of words in my heart that I want to express, but I don't know how to say it.
However, he didn't have time to speak, because the audience, who had been exhaling a long breath, immediately noticed that on the stage, Whale Fall was still standing there, without turning around, and his hands were raised again.
The show isn't over yet.
But fortunately, almost everyone was shocked by the first movement, immersed in the emotions conveyed by the music, and no one applauded the rest of the performance.
The anger in their bosoms was soothed in the elegant and serene Andante movement.
Here, Yu Hai's commanding movements became calmer with his mood.
The mid-low part of the strings plays a deep, singing melody, like a brief sunny day after a rain.
It was the calm and reflection after a setback and a difficult time.
When an unacceptable fate suddenly arises, most people's first thought is to struggle and escape.
The same is true for Yu Hai.
So after the initial period of panic and disbelief, he finally began to think about the future.
This second movement is for him to think and weigh in his heart at that time.
Thinking about how to go forward in the future.
weighed whether we should give up the struggle and go with the fate of it.
The cello is lyrical with its unique serene sound, just like the good old days that he constantly recalls and how hard to earn the future.
Perhaps giving up the struggle and accepting the arrangement of fate directly is the easiest decision.
But the clarinet and bassoon play a second theme with a call to battle, which is a constant reminder of his reluctance and constant self-encouragement.
In the Moon in the Water Concert Hall, everyone's eyes were fixed on the young figure on the stage who was fully engaged in music.
Everyone has moments when they are weak and wandering.
There are times when we encounter hardships and cannot make a choice.
They understand that feeling, and they can also see the inner thoughts of this man who was once knocked on the door by fate in this second movement.
About his hesitations, struggles, and self-redemption.
It is to directly open the door, face fate, calmly accept its judgment, let the self be crushed into the dust, and all the good things in the past and all the yearning for the future will disappear.
Or take up the weapon at your feet, rise up and resist, resolutely tear apart all inexplicable injustices, and defend your future and everything you have now?
At this moment, the strong performance of the whole orchestra erupted, which was not only like a morale-boosting song before the soldiers set out for the battle, but also like a triumphant heroic hymn, and also the composer's encouragement for self-victory over fate.
The hesitation eventually turned into a firm determination.
The next six variations are not telling, but shouting.
Imagine the hardships that this teenager once faced, lonely and trying to be strong.
An irrepressible feeling of pain welled up in their hearts.
For the experience of the teenager, but also for his tenacity.
Even people who don't think they're fans of Whale Fall are inevitably coerced by music and substituted for him.
While the composers were amazed by this wonderful variation, they were also amazed by the tremendous emotional resonance that the music generated for them.
They are also people who listen to concerts every day and have seen big scenes.
But there has never been a scene where they can be so physically and mentally engaged.
The second movement expresses the ephemeral tranquility and reflection of the heart, and also allows all the listeners to dissect their own hearts in the music.
It wasn't until the beginning of the third movement that they suddenly realized that they had such a strong sense of substitution for this piece.
However, Yu Hai didn't give them much time to dwell on this.
Clashes and battles have already begun.
He waved the baton in his hand and launched one attack after another against fate.
It's like a struggle before crossing over.
It's not easy to get to this day, after working hard for so long, I feel a glimmer of light, I really don't want to give up so simply!
For the first time, he uses the cello as a weapon, and the sound here is faster and more exciting than in the second movement, but it seems to be a little inadequate.
Then he beckoned the chord to come over and give him strength, but in the face of an opponent who was too strong, the voice still had a weak tremor.
So, he showed his horn.
Unlike the first movement, the horn here stabilizes the situation with a steady voice, a determined attitude.
It's like a fighter who struggles to gather strength and piece together his strength in the face of a huge enemy.
There have been hesitations and contradictions in the appearance of each sound, and the movement is enriched in the process.
The listener felt as if they were watching a desperate challenge to give up their way out.
After the boy struggled with determination and fate, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed, the process was very difficult and difficult, but he stood up again and again, and once he launched a charge.
With the striking of the final timpani, the first theme emerges, the music gradually rises, the range expands, the dynamics change from weak to strong, the musical colors gradually become clearer, and the confidence expressed rushes into the fourth movement with an irrepressible force.
All the listeners involuntarily sat up straight at this moment.
There was a look of excitement and excitement on his face.
Immerse yourself in the piece and make it seem as if they are fighting against doom with the musicians on stage.
The difficulties and difficulties in it even make people feel like they have tears in their eyes.
But in the end, the whale fall still won.
They also rejoiced in the victory and cheered for the triumphant finale.
At the same time, they are inevitably shocked by this transition from darkness to light.
"Beautiful!"
At this moment, the dads in the audience were able to briefly withdraw their emotions, and their minds inevitably began to be impressed by this long-lasting transition.
The first three chapters of this symphony really amazed them.
They confronted the stormy theme of fate, felt the lyrical peace and inspirational contradiction of the inner world, and experienced the third movement of a stubborn struggle.
So it's really hard to imagine how Whale Fall will have to write a final chapter of enough weight to complete such a stunning work.
When you think about it, it's too difficult.
However, such a gorgeous transition as the whale fall is simply perfect to the extreme.
It's also exciting.
But the mood didn't last long.
When the first theme of the fourth movement creates a majestic atmosphere in unison with brass, they could no longer manage so much.
The majestic chords are positive and melodious, and the corners of the mouth can't help but smile.
And they couldn't help but be shocked by the continuous passionate tune that appeared in such a kind of overwhelming momentum.
Looking at the stage, the conductor's movements seem to be full of joy and relaxation.
Many people in the concert hall had heartfelt smiles on their faces.
Anyway, he won, didn't he?
Yu Hai expelled the emotions accumulated because of the memories one by one from his heart and mind.
As for the struggle of fate, he is also not sure whether he has succeeded or failed.
But in the end, he crossed over, got rid of all the pain and sorrow, and began a new journey.
Therefore, he also enjoys such hard-won light.
But how the unexpected happened, the result is not too bad.
Fate!
It's so unpredictable.
Finally, the whole work, in the glorious key of C major, ends unequivocally
The ending is short and intense, giving people a shocking sense of tragedy.
The entire concert hall was plunged into extreme silence.
Everyone looked at the young man on the stage who lowered his hands and opened his eyes again.
I just feel like listening to a symphony is like watching a person's life.
It's so magnificent, it's so ups and downs, and it's so moving.
Some people inevitably have a thought in their minds:
"What kind of experience and profound understanding should it take to write such a thrilling work?"
