Chapter 422 'Butterfly Lovers' plays again, weeping and complaining
The curtain on the auditorium stage has been drawn.
The host stood in front of the curtain and gave some speeches, while behind the curtain, the staff were busy setting up the stage.
Every performance in tonight's school anniversary party is arranged according to demand.
The number of sentences the host will say in his speech is also planned from the beginning.
Because the lyrics are used to create time and set the stage.
Symphony-related programs require the longest preparation time.
Because there are more than a hundred musical instruments that need to be arranged, the most difficult one is the piano.
The transportation of the piano is very demanding. Any impact may cause the piano scale to be out of accuracy, so be very careful when handling it.
After all, Dongyin is the top music school in the country, so it is naturally professional in handling and adjusting musical instruments.
The host has reached the last two sentences of his speech.
The teacher in charge of the on-site conductor gestured for the symphony orchestra to speed up.
After finishing the last planned sentence, the host turned his head and looked at the teacher at the corner of the stage.
The teacher made a gesture to indicate that the symphony orchestra was not ready yet.
The host kept smiling, acted on the spot, and continued to answer the conversation.
Even if the scene words are designed at the beginning, sometimes the time is not correct, and at this time the host needs to use his/her skills.
This is also the basic skill of the broadcasting and hosting profession. Under any circumstances, you must continue the dialogue as long as necessary.
"This song "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is based on folklore. It is like crying and complaining, and the graceful and lingering melody can always make people indulge in the beautiful melody..."
The host gave free rein and talked about the background of "Butterfly Lovers", and waited until the teacher signaled that the symphony orchestra was ready.
Only then did he say the last line: "Now let us listen to this violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"."
After saying this, he turned around and walked to the side of the stage.
The curtain also followed his footsteps, parting from the middle to both sides.
The curtain opened, revealing the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra behind it.
More than a hundred symphony orchestra musicians are already in place.
Two sets of violins, two sets of violas, as well as cellos, tubas, trumpets, and flutes are all the top performers of the Dongyin First Symphony Orchestra.
However, there are still several positions of lead musicians who have not yet taken the stage.
These chiefs are basically professors of Dongyin.
There are also Lu Xiang'er, the concertmaster, and Fang Xing, who plays the piano.
After the curtain opened, the principals of each group of instruments came on from the side of the stage, came to their seats, picked up their instruments and got ready.
Fang Xing, Lu Xiang'er and conductor He Zhaolin took the stage together.
Fang Xing sat down in front of the piano and slightly adjusted the distance between the stools.
He Zhaolin stood on the podium, picked up the baton, and stretched out his hand to straighten the music score.
Lu Xiang'er stood next to the podium and exchanged a look with He Zhaolin, indicating that he was ready.
He Zhaolin nodded, and Lu Xiang'er put the violin on his shoulder and got ready.
The symphony orchestra is all in place.
There were thousands of students in the auditorium, but the entire auditorium was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
This situation is rare.
Usually the audience for this kind of school anniversary party is composed of freshmen and sophomores who come to watch.
Evening performances are usually a bit boring, so the auditorium is somewhat noisy.
However, the meaning of the program "Butterfly Lovers" is completely different.
Every student who can sit here must stand out by passing the art exam, and their scores in cultural classes must also be very good.
Students who can get into Dongyin will not be too bad in music.
The more professional people are, the more they understand what "Butterfly Lovers" represents.
Even if some students are lazy and speak, they will be stopped by the classmates next to them.
Tonight's "Butterfly Lovers" is a live performance that you can't even spend money to see.
Students who are yearning for music know its meaning and listen quietly with a pious attitude.
…
on stage.
He Zhaolin raised his baton high and drew it down,
First, the sound of timpani and double bass sounded. The first section was pianissimo, and the weak sound of the piano slowly came out, as steady and thick as the earth.
Then, the harp was gently played, playing five scales from medium to high. The sound of the harp went from steady and heavy to crisp and distant, as if to take the listener's thoughts from the earth to the sky.
The melodious sound of the piano came from the stage and echoed above the auditorium through the stage's special amplification design.
Many students at the scene involuntarily opened their mouths slightly, admiring the wonderful sound of the piano, and at the same time instinctively wanted to hear it more clearly.
Although human hearing relies on the ears, when the mouth is opened, the cochlea can hear sounds clearer and louder.
Therefore, when people focus on listening to a sound, they will involuntarily open their mouths.
The music continued to be played, and suddenly, a crisp and lively flute sound came out, just like the cry of birds suddenly coming from the sky.
This is the high range performance of the flute.
The leader of the flute group is Ni Yuesheng, a doctoral supervisor in the flute major of Dongyin.
Therefore, as soon as this flute came out, it immediately caught everyone's ears.
A masterful performance, the sound of the flute is extraordinary.
The freshmen in the audience were shocked and felt that the level of the performance exceeded their expectations.
Although most of the students present have listened to the audio of "Butterfly Lovers", listening to the audio and playing it with a live symphony orchestra are completely different concepts.
Therefore, how can one not feel admiration when hearing the flute sound of Ni Yuesheng, Ph.D. flute professor, at the scene?
The freshmen were just impressed and knew that the performance was good, but they didn't know how good it was.
There were also many postgraduate students present, with better music theory knowledge and higher musical literacy. When they heard Ni Yuesheng's flute playing, they all shook their heads in admiration.
For them, this is the ultimate enjoyment, a feast in the field of instrumental music.
Later, oboe, clarinet and other musical instruments came in one after another.
The timbres of different instruments overlap together, making the melody progress layer by layer, creating smart notes that reverberate in the space, outlining a beautiful picture of birds singing, flowers fragrant, and the wind gentle and sunny.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, the principals of each group of instruments are professors from Dongyin, and some are even doctoral supervisors.
The level is so high that it is already the ceiling in the country.
Immediately afterwards.
Lu Xiang'er, who had been listening to the music with her eyes closed, slowly placed her bow on the strings and began to join in the performance.
This song "Butterfly Lovers" is a violin concerto.
This means that the other instruments are all to assist the violin, and they are to assist Lu Xiang'er's violin.
If you only look at age, Lu Xiang'er is almost the youngest in the entire symphony orchestra.
But there are so many professors who perform for her.
However, no one sees anything wrong with this.
Because she deserves it.
It's as if this song was born just for her.
Or maybe she was born for this song.
Lu Xiang'er played the melody, and the sound of the violin was smooth and lively.
It's like a young girl who has just begun to fall in love and meets a sweetheart who makes people miss her day and night.
The violin is telling the story of the first love, sweet and nervous, it turns over and over again and again, but it never stops.
Then, the sound of the piano came out, as if it was having a conversation with the violin.
If the violin is expressing the girl's thoughts, then the sound of the piano is the sincere response of the sweetheart.
The piano and the violin sing in harmony, sweet and touching, yet inseparable.
This gentle and sweet love makes people fascinated, intoxicated, enviable and emotional.
Combined with other musical instruments, several verses of instrumental dialogue tell a touching love story.
The entire symphony orchestra performed love together with a magnificent melody.
It makes the audience in the audience seem to be able to understand the thoughts of the men and women in the tune.
The magnificent melody, as if the world suddenly became enlightened, and everything was blessing this sincere love.
…
By the time the song was played, the school leaders, professors, and students present were deeply immersed in this mesmerizing tune, and their hearts were yearning for it.
Who doesn't want such a sincere and beautiful love.
But only those who have experienced it know how much courage and strength it takes to love someone.
The students in the audience, listening to this melodious melody, had a lot to say in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it for fear of missing any note.
At this point in the music, the symphony orchestra slowly stopped and turned into a violin solo.
This violin solo is the most critical section of the piece.
Whether this performance is wonderful depends on whether the solo violin can perform this part well.
Lu Xiang'er closed her eyes and played the piano bow indulgently.
In her heart, this song was composed for her, and she is Zhu Yingtai in the song.
Whenever she missed her sweetheart at night, she would stand on the balcony alone, play this piece of music, and express her feelings to the notes in the world.
Since the first time she performed this piece publicly on the stage of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, she has played it alone countless times.
It was as if every note of the music was integrated into her blood, her mind, and her soul.
She doesn't need a score or a conductor, she just needs to vent her emotions through the sound of the piano.
With superb playing skills and a playing rhythm that is integrated into her bones, this violin solo seems to have become one with her.
In her mind, there seemed to be a flashback to the happy time when the two were classmates studying.
That was supposed to be a story about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's classmates, but she saw a person's face instead.
However, in this cadenza, there is a trace of regret.
This trace of regret hidden in the sound of the piano is very difficult to detect.
There were thousands of students present, but no one could hear it.
However, several doctoral supervisors on the stage, especially Ni Yuesheng and He Zhaolin, all heard the special features of this violin solo.
It is clearly a piece of music about the joyful life of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who were classmates in the academy.
There is a trace of regret hidden in the tune.
If we only talk about the background story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", this piece of music should express a happy reading time and should not have this trace of regret.
However, what is the difference between human performance, CD audio, and computer synthesized audio?
That is human performance, the expression of emotions, and the subtle changes.
This is the true meaning of art.
The art of music is not static, but always changing.
What's the difference between a consistent performance and a machine?
For violinists, emotional expression is what they pursue above and beyond technique.
A thousand people have a thousand different understandings of "Butterfly Lovers".
The true meaning of art is to use performance to infect people.
Lu Xiang'er's performance revealed a different emotion, which made several people on the stage really feel it.
However, several doctoral supervisors could not hear this trace of regret, and what was the reason for it.
The reason why Lu Xiang'er expressed this feeling of regret was actually because he felt a little envious of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai once studied together as classmates.
She and Fang Xing were in the same school, but they had no experience of taking classes together.
Her girlish heart suddenly felt that something was missing.
At that moment, she was thinking how great it would be if she could get to know him earlier.
In that way, maybe like the story told in the song, we can attend class together, occupy seats together, talk and laugh together, hold textbooks together and walk across the school lawn.
It's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier...
After the violin solo ended, Fang Xing's piano sound sounded, as if in response to the violin's confession.
Fang Xing understood the trace of regret in Lu Xiang'er's music.
Speaking carefully, Fang Xing didn't think so.
However, being able to meet him is already the greatest luck.
To be able to hold hands and go on forever, maybe it really takes thousands of years of practice in previous lives to build up this kind of love.
In his previous life, Fang Xing also had a love affair that moved from campus to society, but it eventually failed in reality.
Maybe the love is not deep enough, or maybe there is no destiny.
Fang Xing's piano sound was responding to the violin's confession, but instead of telling her this regret, she used the piano sound to tell her: everything was the best arrangement.
Lu Xiang'er understood this response, put away her regretful mood, and put on a lively and lively tune that echoed Fang Xing's piano sound.
There is no flute section in this piece of music.
So Ni Yuesheng, Ph.D. flute director, put down his flute and listened to the music carefully.
He heard the dialogue between the violin and the piano, as if they were two lovers making an oath under the moonlight.
At the beginning, the woman was a little depressed, but the man's gentle words soon made her happy.
Ni Yuesheng couldn't help but slowly shook his head in admiration.
It was obvious that they were participating in a violin concerto, but it was as if they were witnessing a pair of lovers who admired each other and expressed their love to each other.
What does this feel like?
Ni Yuesheng was greatly impressed. Isn't this the highest state of art?
It is even a level that many performers cannot reach in their lifetime.
Perhaps the skills of these two people are not the best, but the emotions they express have reached the extreme.
What's more, to say that their playing skills are not the best is to compare with only a handful of performers. In fact, their skills have already been demonstrated.
