Taking advantage of the few minutes of rest, several leaders in the audience continued to exchange ideas on the development of music and art. The main reason was that the seniors wanted to hear what young people had to say. Yang Jingxing felt that cultivating and expanding the market is more important than supporting

Practitioners are more important. Although the predecessors have been working hard in the promotion work, such as the introduction of elegant art to campus, Yang Jingxing still feels that breakthroughs can be made in methods.

Wang Jinzhe started from the present and gave a solemn introduction to the upcoming Second Symphony to President Wu Xin of the Art Center. From the conductor to the musicians, including him personally, they all believed that this work has great hope of becoming a "classic", and may even become a number of

Of course, the repertoire of the big orchestra has a prerequisite, that is, Western audiences can accept Chinese folk music, because after all, there is a gap between them. Fortunately, Director Yang is already well-known...

Just as he was talking, several leaders looked in the direction of the side door. The seniors of the Chinese orchestra filed in, wondering if they wanted to be the audience and put pressure on the Philharmonic. The employees consciously kept quiet. There were so many people.

But there was not much conversation, which made it look a bit weird. At this time, the theater was much quieter than during the intermission of a real concert. Even the light footsteps, chatter, and the sound of adjusting instruments behind the curtain could be heard from the front, making it appear that

Very tight and methodical.

People who came to the auditorium were not only people from the Chinese orchestra, but also some musicians from the Philharmonic Orchestra. It seemed that all those who did not need to play in the second half were here. There were also a few staff members, at least sixty or seventy people. There was no need for everyone to compete.

There were so many empty seats, but no one came to sit next to the leader.

Lu Baiyong also came over. Yang Jingxing, who only nodded and smiled at the performer, stood up and gave up his seat: "Lu Zhi."

"Sit down." Lu Bai sat down next to Yang Jingxing nonchalantly and said, "Let's sum it up."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You are too striving for perfection."

President Wu also affirmed: "It's wonderful. Just now, Commander Wang and Director Yang both praised Commander Lu's command."

Lu Baiyong didn't seem to be able to listen to these nonsense, he smiled a little and then sat firm.

President Wu was very thoughtful: "Where did Captain Wang talk about?"

Captain Wang continued, his strategy is to switch exports to domestic sales, which is a good way in many industries. Many younger artists and musicians have already been on this road smoothly, intentionally or unintentionally. If Director Yang does the same, he will definitely gain huge profits.

Success and reaching unprecedented heights, the influence will no longer be just for him. If time passes, I believe that Puhai Conservatory of Music, Puhai National Orchestra, 306 Orchestra, and Puhai Philharmonic Orchestra will all have a role in the world music scene.

a place.

Yang Jingxing was still embarrassed when he heard what Captain Wang said in such a serious manner that he didn't think he was joking. Wen Fujiang discussed it first: "I don't think Director Yang has never thought about this, but a single tree cannot make a forest, so he did this."

Work more. Although those who are capable work hard, we cannot put all the burden on Director Yang’s shoulders. Director Yang also has a girlfriend and should have time to live a small life."

The seniors laughed, but Director Yang didn't seem to mind the teasing: "I can't take on too many important responsibilities, and I don't dare to be too self-righteous. Only by having more friends and partners can I be more courageous."

President Wu nodded deeply in agreement: "Yes, a single tree cannot form a forest. There is no shortage of outstanding talents in all walks of life in our country. It is rare that Director Yang can still consider popularization and education. The three basic functions of the Grand Theater Art Center are firstly popularization and

Education, originality quality. I hope Director Yang won’t mind asking a layman’s question. On the scale of artistic quality, where does Conductor Lu think this symphony ranks?”

Yang Jingxing was a little embarrassed, but Lu Baiyong was more serious: "I personally think that after comprehensive consideration, the Second Symphony should be among the most artistically valuable works in the world of music today."

Yang Jingxing laughed dryly: "Lu Zhi, you put a lot of pressure on me."

Lu Baiyong circumvented: "Of course, it needs to be verified by time and the audience."

Wang Jinzhe was positive: "I have had a lot of communication with conductor Lian about this. Conductor Lian also thinks that even if the folk music orchestration is changed to Western instruments, although the charm of this piece will be lost, it is still a work that raises the ceiling. Conductor Lian thinks that the work's

Breadth and depth are what today's orchestras and even world orchestras lack, so with the support of Director Wen and Conductor Lu, the two orchestras have joined forces closely to try their best to ensure that this premiere is a success. Of course, Conductor Lu is right.

, the artistic value of a work requires more people to discover it and more time to settle it.”

Except for Yang Jingxing, several leaders nodded. President Wu was slightly excited: "You're right. In fact, I firmly believe in the artistic value of Director Yang's works. I have an unkind request that is difficult to say out loud."

Not only Yang Jingxing, but also the regiment leader and conductor also expressed their stance, just say it...

President Wu was not polite and said that starting from next year, the Grand Theater Art Center will hold at least 20 charity performances every year, and the most expensive tickets for the performances should not exceed 80, so even if the audience is full, the box office will only be around 100,000. Although

The pressure of losses is great, but the Art Center still wants to try its best to present high-quality and high-level programs to listeners who buy charity tickets...

Yang Jingxing immediately stated that it would be an honor for him if his work could be performed on the stage of a charity performance. The two orchestras also quickly helped the composer prove that Director Yang's works were basically licensed for free...

President Wu looked extremely pleased, as if he had benefited greatly from it, as if he was sincerely grateful.

Don't worry, Yang Jingxing also has some unrelenting requests or suggestions for several leaders. He hopes that the art center and orchestra can invest more in the creative process in the future and support and encourage creators. Director Yang knows that many classmates, colleagues and even teachers around him are indeed

There are situations where you cannot get reasonable rewards after hard work.

President Wu generously admitted that there were indeed deficiencies in this aspect. He also knew that even commissioned works created by students abroad that were performed for only one performance often received thousands of dollars in remuneration...

It was almost a high-level meeting, but the bell rang and the curtain rose. The meeting could only be suspended. The president adjusted his posture and suggested that everyone enjoy the music and applaud first.

Sixty-four musicians appeared on the stage. It looked like a typical orchestra layout, but the small, medium and large double bass groups were streamlined, and then there was the pipa group after the first small violin group, and then there was the pipa group after the second violin group.

It is a dulcimer group, between the viola and wind instruments is a three-string group, and the erhu is sandwiched between the cello and double bass.

He Peiyuan sat at the bottom of the sanxian group, looking at the audience with a slight smile like most actors, but she didn't look at the composer much. She probably glanced over it, but she couldn't clearly see the bright smile on the rogue's face.

The host came on stage full of energy. The opening remarks of the second half were a bit long. He first gave a brief overview of the history of Western music, and then expressed pride in the history of Chinese music with more adjectives and interjections. He also talked about the collision or integration of cultural exchanges in the world today. Finally, please enjoy

Yang Jingxing's Second Symphony, let's see what kind of "vastness, excitement, beauty, and warmth" can be created by the fusion and collision of China and the West.

The number of people in the audience has doubled several times, and most of them are colleagues and acquaintances. The applause to welcome the conductor was very warm.

Lian Lixin still had nothing to say when he came on stage. After greeting the audience, he went up to the podium and signaled the orchestra to prepare. The violin group set up their bows and the woodwinds were in place. Lian Lixin's personal hobby is that he likes the feeling of reviewing, with his back to the audience.

When I stand still and don't move much, my eyes are definitely scanning the orchestra. During rehearsals, it can last up to a minute, but this time it will be less artificial, just half a minute. The audience still has the patience to wait and see.

As the conductor's right hand suddenly lifted up, paused briefly at the highest point, and then fell very gently, the cello group started first, with a calm melody accompanied by the plucking of the double bass. It felt like a very ordinary beginning, with no preemptive start at all.

Feeling. When the cello group was almost finished expressing a melody, the woodwind group added some embellishments, making the emotional color of the music more vivid, more agile and cheerful, and no longer so calm or even monotonous.

The woodwind became slightly active and then softened along with the cello. There was a brief silence, and then the harp, which had been staring closely at the conductor, began to pluck the strings along with the name. It was a bit strange that there were no singing notes at all, but this strange feeling was in the clarinet.

After being added softly, it basically disappeared, and then the first violin group started. With just a few notes, people can feel that the melody is quite singing. With the unique harp and weak clarinet as a foil, the violin's melody style is also very

It is almost clear that it is simple, so simple that it makes people feel that the composer is fooling around, but there is something solemn and solemn in the simplicity. If you are a little familiar with the business, your colleagues should be able to think of the Psalm and the Middle Ages immediately.

In the Middle Ages, instrumental music was still in its infancy, so most of the performers on the stage were actually doing nothing, although they all pretended to be attentive.

The violinist seemed to be forgetting himself while singing hymns, and even the conductor was immersed in the religious music and moving his limbs. But suddenly, Lian Lixin woke up, decisively waved his hand, and the dulcimer group who was waiting for it started working together.

I don’t know whether it’s because the melody and harmony match well or because the dulcimer is a natural match for the violin. The unique and representative timbre of Chinese folk music that sounded in the chants didn’t make people feel out of place. No one in the audience seemed to feel it.

A little uncomfortable, but there are surprises and surprises.

In fact, He Peiyuan's worries are a bit unnecessary. Even if Tao Meng was present, she probably couldn't tell that the dulcimer was using the melody material in "Blooming". The composer still made some developments and changes before recombining it, but the emotional color did not change much. Maybe

It will give those who are familiar with "Blooming" a sense of deja vu.

After the dulcimer sounded, the ten members of the first violin group stopped two by two, and the chant gradually stopped. It felt like the protagonist was given to the dulcimer, and the dulcimer used the material of "Blooming" as a motive to perform the next few bars.

The melody is more distinct but always simple. The color expression of the dulcimer here is actually very different from the tradition. It seems that the dulcimer is just used as a simple percussion instrument. But after all, it is a symphony, and it cannot be kept simple.

Well, after the dulcimer's leading role was confirmed, the brass began to work, the timpani began to play softly, and then the cello section joined.

The dulcimer played the leading role for eight measures, and then disappeared from the score. However, the music did not make people feel sudden, and everything went smoothly. At this time, the music also passed through a new stage, with multiple voices.

The whole group operates together, giving it the feeling of a symphony orchestra. The composer did not come up with anything new here. Instead, his colleagues will immediately think of the Flemish and Burgundian schools, and then they will develop too much towards secular music.

The composer's intention is very obvious, and this is the beginning of the Renaissance.

As a professional academic composer, it should not be very difficult to imitate the style of a specific genre in a specific period. Fortunately, Yang Jingxing imitated or paid tribute to the methods of many composers in a short space of time, showing a relatively strong

The ability to summarize and integrate should not make people question whether the genius has exhausted its talents.

The music has started for more than four minutes, and the Renaissance, which was richer and more complex than the Middle Ages, is about to come to an end. At a turning point that is difficult to detect, the pipa group who have been sitting for a long time collectively plucked the strings, but the pipa appeared.

It is not as clear and ear-catching as the previous dulcimer group, and even seems a bit insignificant among multiple groups of instruments. Most listeners will not be surprised.

However, Yang Jingxing did not dare to offend his best friend, so after only two bars, Pipa stood out with its melody and rhythm. Yu Xinting must have heard that Pipa used the material of "Tranquility" to quickly gain the leading role or even the dominant position in the orchestra, but the melody

Although the notes have not changed much, the color is no longer "Tranquility" at all. The harmony and playing rhythm of the pipa are very different from the piano version of "Tranquility" with a new century feel. How can it be dominant if it is quiet? So the pipa here has changed from the original one.

What started out as an inconspicuous game quickly turned into something like "House of Flying Daggers", and with four of them at the same time, it was really impressive.

But the fate of the pipa is the same as that of the dulcimer. It disappeared after a while, and it disappeared suddenly, which was a bit abrupt. Fortunately, the other parts were not affected much and successfully entered a new stage.

Wang Rui, who put down her hands on the stage, relaxed, looked at the composer, smiled, and then looked at He Peiyuan, who was not far away from her. He Peiyuan seemed to have been focusing on being an audience, but a woman's sixth sense made her look back

Wang Rui finally glanced briefly at her boyfriend in the audience.

Skilled colleagues should have expected that the music would enter the Baroque period next. As expected, the composer continued to show his ability of imitation and induction, and in the next two or three minutes, he combined Perry, Monteverdi, and Scala.

Di, Vivaldi...and of course Bach, they all pay tribute. Even Lixin is really amazing, it seems that the style of body language is also changing accordingly with the intention of the work.

Skilled colleagues will surely think that it is folk music that helps music transition smoothly from the Baroque period to the Classical period. This time, the erhu plays the important role. At the end of the brass and percussion chorus, which is suspected of paying tribute to Handel,

The four erhus are seamlessly connected, and the variation theme of "A Photo" can be called an experience debut. Of course, the musical color is also very different from the love song. Lian Lixin still put his heart into it, and he obviously put forward meticulous and tight requirements for the erhu's timbre.

, and in the absence of any requirements from the score, this kind of timbre performance is obviously more suitable for the work than the timbre of "Er Quan Ying Yue", because after the experience debut, the erhu needs to show a bright and calm atmosphere, even Li Xin is

It's a pretty good grasp.

Like the dulcimer and the pipa, the erhu didn't shine for long before exiting with a distinctive tearing feeling that was somewhat similar to the horse's neigh in "Horse Racing", but it was longer and more emotional than the horse's neigh. It was considered a It's a small motive. This is the most avant-garde thing in the first movement of the work. The erhu group practiced it quite well.

Entering the classical period, there are too many works to express and pay homage to, so the length is slightly longer. The various distinctive features of the * music school can be tasted by ordinary listeners without having to travel with them. This section is also considered the first The climax of the movement feels a bit gorgeous and glorious.

There is only one choice left, and Sanxian will lead the music from the classical period to the romantic period. When there are still seven or eight bars before she is about to take action, He Peiyuan finally looks at each other firmly with the composer in the audience, although only It took two or three seconds, but the girl's eyes and expression clearly revealed her seriousness and determination, so the rogue had to restrain his dirty smile.

Sanxian appeared after the music downplayed Beethoven's toughness and stubbornness. The material of "Only You Know It's a Love Song" remains almost intact. The characteristics of the material and the characteristics of the instrument, Sanxian very well showed that it is different from Beethoven. The kind of tenacity that reveals the beauty of indifference.

The Sanxian has three or four more measures than the previous folk instruments, but it is not much longer, and there is no technical difficulty in playing it. However, He Peiyuan still played to the score. After playing her last note in the first movement, , the girl continued to read the music score, then raised her eyes to look directly at the composer.

Yang Jingxing smiled brightly, which seemed to have infected his girlfriend. The only female sanxian player on the stage also smiled slightly, and then continued to focus on her work.

The music has entered the Romantic period, and the composer began to show off his melody upstart style. In the last two minutes, the entire orchestra played with the original cello melody, and finally used the cello's melody. The fade-out ends the thirteen-fourteen-minute first movement.

Throughout the entire first movement, the composer seems to want to summarize the history of Western music and also want the four national instruments to leave a good first impression on the audience. It may seem that the content is noisy, but in fact the structure and content of the entire movement are very Meticulous and harmonious, this kind of meticulous harmony is not only related to academics, but also to the feelings of the audience.

Apart from the special instrumentation, the first movement of "Yang Jingxing Symphony No. 2" doesn't seem to have many novel and exciting points for experienced music fans. However, the meaning laid out in one movement can make the audience more interested in what is coming next. The content is more expectant and lays a good foundation for the audience's ability to understand and accept it.
