Chapter 369 First Movement Poems of Awakening (46): Who is Scheler
!?(2-in-1)
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding dong~~"
"I Breathe the Fragrance of the Bodhi Tree", in the key of D major, the piano accompaniment starts weakly with the dominant note A, bringing out a series of crystal clear upper tones.
The crisp and swaying sound of wind chimes interrupted everyone's reverie. The piano only used a few notes of seventh chords to make a simple connection, and then played out a second string of pure and sweet sounds of nature again.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding dong~~"
Miss Nightingale's physical condition became more active. She stood on her high heels and her voice was as pure as if it had been washed by spring water:
"I breathed in a burst of fragrance..."
The first impression of this melody is so clear and sincere that it penetrates the listener's heart like ice water. It is more beautiful than the song of the nightingale that reaches the ears of the shepherd when the rainforest is green and the berries are sweet.
But strictly speaking, accompaniment in the true sense has not yet appeared.
The two ethereal tinkling sounds of the piano are just a brief introduction. Master Lucter uses a critical attitude to listen to how the melody will develop next and what kind of interpretation the piano will perform.
His mood is really complicated at this moment. There is no doubt that if this art song falls into the trap of those discussions, he will be disappointed or even angry, but he must treat the singer with a gentle and honest attitude - because
, even if you don’t know how to express your artistic conception, how can you criticize others for expressing it?
However, what everyone heard was not accompaniment at all.
Not a column, broken or semi-broken chord, but a melody.
Another one-note counterpoint melody!
In the slightly higher alto range, the piano played a series of clear and far-off sextuplets unhurriedly.
Its speed is very subtle, medium speed, if it is faster it will be impetuous, if it is slower it will be dragging; its intensity is very restrained, if it is strong it will be abrupt, if it is weak it will be artificial, everything is just right.
Refreshing inspiration rushed to their faces, and the audience felt that they really smelled the fragrance of the linden tree!
It came a little later than Miss Nightingale's song, just like the girl's orchid breath, which penetrated the listener's breath and penetrated into the listener's soul a little later!
"I breathed in a burst of fragrance.
placed in the room,
A small twig of the lime tree;
This is a gift,
From my beloved;
The scent of the linden tree is so sweet!
The scent of the lime tree is so sweet!"
An's voice is young, gentle and emotional.
The vocal melody is already like this, and the counterpoint melody of the piano is extremely transparent and quiet. Only the sparse bass in the left hand supports the skeleton of the harmony, suggesting that the quiet fragrance of the Bodhi tree is floating in the air and quietly sinking into the heart of the admirer.
Master Lucter was instantly moved.
Counterpoint, the "accompaniment" method of the piano is not accompaniment, but counterpoint with the same main role!
And it’s not a counterpoint to the medieval style, but a stunning melody that mixes romanticism and mystery!
The musical counterpoint between the two polyphonic melodies is naturally harmonious, but the imagery always remains distant, just like the pounding of the heart in youth: all the attention is clearly on the person you like,
But even the slightest touch of skin was reserved and awkward.
The core creative inspiration of my own poem is to connect this green taste of love with the fragrance of the bodhi tree, and this polyphonic art song perfectly reproduces this artistic conception!
I have been pondering for many years but still haven’t found it yet!
The master's hand holding the pen suddenly tightened.
However, this is not over yet.
In the second part of the song, the right hand of the piano adds a third counterpoint melody in the high register!
It is like adding a natural narration to the lovely interactions and responses between lovers, which is full of freshness and sunshine, further integrating the artistic conception of the poem with the musical lines, without any artificiality!
At this time, Miss Nightingale smiled softly, held her hands gently on her chest, continued singing in a longing tone, and expressed her feelings to her sweetheart in green words:
"You speak so gently,
Take a light sniff,
It is also the fragrance of the linden tree,
It’s the fragrance of love!”
When the song disappeared in the unearthly silence, the reaction of the tourists in the back row was completely different from that after Miss Cuckoo finished singing "The Queen's Aria". This time there was no overwhelming applause or cheers, but everyone
There was no movement at all. Those who stood up still stood where they were, and those who sat down still maintained their original postures.
Those fresh and throbbing fragrances still linger in the air for a long time.
Master Lucter finally spoke.
Throughout today's selection competition, he had very few low-pitched exchanges with the judges, but this was definitely the first time he took the initiative to speak to a singer——
"Who wrote this song?"
An didn't answer because he immediately asked a second question without giving anyone a chance to answer.
This time the speaking speed was obviously a bit faster:
"You originally had a second song, right?"
"Yes, sir." An answered politely, holding up her skirt.
For the qualifying round, everyone originally prepared two songs, but later Lucter cut them in half in order to keep up with the schedule.
Naturally, he clearly remembered that when the nightingale announced the curtain, she was talking about the first song of "Lucter's Song"!
"Why are you not in a hurry, teacher?" Ku Ci looked at the girl in the white dress on the stage. Judging from the response, Miss Nightingale was naturally selected successfully. She clearly remembered that the teacher was on pins and needles before.
"Teacher, why is he so anxious?..." Another famous tenor singer felt that this tone was very different from the teacher's usual style.
Prince Eleanor and the troubadour Senesino, who were on Lucter's left and right, were thinking deeply.
One of these two people is the person in charge of the Opera House, Miss Cuckoo's brother, and the other is the person in charge of the Grand Concert Hall, Miss Cuckoo's teacher. It is inevitable that she will be promoted to the position of famous singer this year, with royal and church backgrounds.
, coupled with her own talent, everything fell into place.
There is no conflict in the final selection. You can choose either one or two, but the final award in the final is gender-specific! There is only one male and female singer, and there are three nominations each! In this case, both of them are sopranos, and they are both sopranos.
On the same track...
"What's the name of the second song? Can it be sung?" Master Lucter asked again.
As is human nature, the poet really wanted to know if the instructor behind him had written such an art song, and which one was his own! His three famous singer students were also curious about which one it was.
Because such works will definitely become my repertoire in the future, such as the song "The Fragrance of the Bodhi Tree" just now.
However, Lucter's tone now has returned to the calmness that an elderly man should have, and he added:
"I have already said that this group of contestants will only sing one song, so whether you want to sing a second song is entirely up to your personal wishes. This will not affect my voting judgment."
"Very happy." An smiled lightly again and crisply announced the title of the next song:
""If You Love Beauty"."
Teacher, how can he be so great! Miss Nightingale is very happy now. Everyone recognizes her singing voice. This is only one aspect of it. Another important reason is that she feels that her enjoyment has risen, and she simply wants to sing again from the bottom of her heart.
head.
She asked Fan Ning that day, and he said that the order of singing was not specified, so the five songs were decided by her own feelings. At this moment, she felt that her arrangement was very narrative and progressive, first moistening things silently, and then
"The second sound seizes people" finally leads to summary and sublimation, and the second song "If You Love Beauty"... In her understanding, the meaning of the poem clearly belongs to the category of "seizing people".
After hearing another poem of his own, Master Lucter nodded slightly with a complicated expression.
This work was created a little later. It is also a love poem he wrote for his lover in his youth. It is a polyrhythmic poem with a classical and neat structure, but strange and magnificent rhetorical techniques.
He really wanted to know how the creator would present it.
The piano descends in a simple scale, leading to a gentle and intimate four-part harmony.
"How to write 'branch polyphony'? The accompaniment of each song is really not cliché." These judges have such keen ears, they realized from the beginning that this creative technique is by no means simple.
Its counterpoint independence is stronger than traditional accompaniment, but weaker than contrasting or imitative polyphony: usually multiple levels are performed around a main melody, sometimes separated, sometimes gathered, and set off each other, thus forming a kind of human voice.
Sound effects contained in dense textures.
It sounds very beautiful, but it should be noted that if the harmony and melody writing are not already perfect, this method can easily make the vocals and accompaniment indistinguishable! But now——
Miss Nightingale once again raised her spirits and spoke. This time she no longer sang in a reserved tone, but with bright eyes, open arms, and sang loudly with enthusiasm:
“If you love beauty, please don’t love me!…”
As soon as the melody came out, before it was complete, everyone understood the magic of it. The piano gently embraced the singing, and the singing responded with deep love. The two were lingering and cuddling together, and they worked together perfectly!
"Who wrote this?" The three famous singers, including Miss Kuci, were puzzled. If only the amazing song just now was the only one, everyone's reaction would be to marvel who could capture such an aura, but the second
The level of the two songs is equally high...
Is it possible that there are still people who can stably perform "The Collected Poems of Lucter" twice? This is somewhat difficult to understand!
"If you love beauty, please don't love me!
Love the sun, the sun with its golden hair."
The word "Liebe (love)" in the poem appears repeatedly in her singing, and when each piece of musical material appears, Fan Ning slightly changes it, allowing her emotions to be pushed higher and higher in a series of negative words——
The second stanza of Miss Nightingale, modulated upward to a minor third:
"If you love youth, please don't love me!
To love the spring scenery, the spring scenery that remains the same year after year."
In the third section of Miss Nightingale, the rhythm line is lengthened:
"If you love wealth, please don't love me!
Love the mermaid, she is full of pearls."
The dazzling emphasis of the last paragraph in the high register sublimates the theme of this poem, and all negations become affirmations at this moment. Every syllable of hers is filled with a passionate yearning for love:
"If you love love, please love me!
Love me forever, just like I love you forever!!!”
After reading and pondering the poem, Fan Ning made a very interesting treatment here: he did not use the conventional sudden intensity at the emotional breaking point, but instead used the terminology of "slowing down and then building up".
What is even more dramatic is the next sentence "Oja, mich liebe!" (Ah, you love me!), he did the opposite and used "diminished"!
"How did he know that when I wrote this sentence, I was actually worrying about gains and losses!?"
After hearing Miss Nightingale's last performance with a subtle "heart-wrenching" meaning, Master Lucter really couldn't sit still!
Everyone in the world thinks that the protagonist who recites this poem must be a noble person who is not limited to material things and pursues spiritual love. He (she) must yearn for pure love and pursue this purity with great confidence...
…
This is not entirely true! In fact, facing the interference of worldly and materialistic desires, the protagonist is not completely confident. His (her) mentality is worried about gains and losses! He (she) confessed so affectionately to his sweetheart and racked his brains to lay the groundwork.
, in fact, I have exhausted my lifelong courage, and I am also afraid of the consequences after that confession!
Why is the creator behind the poem so keenly aware of the true meaning behind the poem?
Why can this Miss Nightingale express herself so vividly???
"Who wrote this!?"
The ending of the song is a continuous descending semitone, and not even half a second before the music's cessation has dispersed, Master Lucter suddenly stood up!
Ann was taken aback by the New Moon poet's reaction.
"Schele..."
"My teacher signed the invitation..."
All the judges looked at each other.
Who is Scheele!?
So, this musician whose name she has never heard of, signed on the pink recommendation strip, is her teacher?
Prince Eleanor's eyes flashed. Due to the competitive relationship between Miss Nightingale and Miss Cuckoo, he was ready to use the power of the royal family and the church to investigate Scheele's background.
"Has Scheler written a similar art song? Did you want to sing it during the finals? Can you tell me the name of the work?"
Lucter asked three questions directly.
no way.
With such superb creative quality, no one can resist this.
This psychological offensive played by the other party clearly knows that its purpose is to help his students achieve results, but basically as long as he is an individual, he can't help it! Now this poet not only cares about whether his works have been re-created, but also endures them.
I can't help but repeatedly guess how many songs there are, which ones they are, and how they are written...
Facing this old and extremely famous master, An felt a little hesitant in his heart.
Fan Ning told her, "You can try it without notifying her in advance," saying that this might "maximize the judges' expectations." She also said that she would not rule out "other additions or changes on a whim"... Although it was not officially explained, it was
He said it casually, but An felt that he had to listen to the teacher in everything he said.
"Sorry, Mr. Lucter, the teacher's plan has not been completely finalized yet." She bowed apologetically.
"Where is your teacher Scheler now?" Lucter asked again.
"Ah..." An was stunned for a moment, but there was no need to answer this question, "He was attending a concert, at Mr. Bruno Walter's..."
The table and bench creaked.
"I'm going to visit him now." Lucter stood up and left the table.
Ah this... the judges were stunned, the candidate singers were dumbfounded, and even the onlookers behind the stage auditorium were dumbfounded.
Halfway through the celebrity singer selection competition, the chief judge just left?
Damn it, there are still more than a dozen contestants behind! Lucter took three steps but felt it was inappropriate. The royal family and the church had a small reputation, but he couldn't break the promise he had promised to check.
"Miss Couch, please send Miss Nightingale back to the Festival Concert Hall, and invite Mr. Scheler in my name to come to the outdoor café of the Opera House for a chat tonight!" He ordered his beloved disciple, "To
Now, go to my lounge, get a small blood jade fox lily ornament and give it to him! Today’s two art songs are worth thousands of gold!”
"Okay..." Ku Ci agreed subconsciously at first, and then said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "Now, now?"
Lucter waved his right hand one after another:
"Go quickly, the contestants here have nothing to do with you. If you don't go over there, the show will be dismissed!"
Five new songs of Mahler's "Lückertlied" have been added to the playlist. I have deliberately included both the orchestral version and the piano version. They are not adaptations, but are the composer's own versions. Each has its own characteristics.
You can listen to it, the Chinese version is synchronized in the track list related to the work~
