For this tour, the Military Art Academy specially prepared a top-notch rehearsal hall for the performance team. All aspects have been specially modified, giving it the effect of a concert hall.
There are a total of thirty-six people in the choir, all of whom are school students.
The symphony orchestra responsible for the performance has 110 people. This is still streamlined. The entire military art symphony orchestra actually has a team of nearly 200 people.
Lou Ze brought Zheng Qian to the rehearsal hall and was immediately welcomed by all the members of the group.
Although there were only more than a hundred people, in the closed rehearsal hall, it actually created the effect of thousands of people applauding.
It can be seen that everyone admires Zheng Qian. After all, Zheng Qian's "March of Steel Torrent" has been widely praised in major universities. These days, no one who has never heard of "March of Steel Torrent" dares to claim that he is studying music.
of.
The entire performance team, except the choir, is the symphony orchestra.
Jiao Xiangyu Tenuan has four musical instrument groups: string group, woodwind group, brass group and percussion group. The male-to-female ratio of each musical instrument group is basically maintained at 7:3, which is an excellent ratio and is pleasing to the eye at a glance.
"This is the classmate Zheng Qian you have been waiting for."
After the applause ended, Lou Ze said with a smile: "Everyone, please keep your spirits up. Although Zheng Qian is your senior brother or junior brother, there is no doubt that his musical attainments are much higher than yours, so there is
If you don’t understand something, you should humbly ask for advice, and you should also keep in mind what classmate Zheng Qian tells you.”
"Next, before rehearsal, let's ask classmate Zheng Qian to say a few words."
The applause sounded like thunder again.
Zheng Qian looked at these young and ambitious classmates and felt a burst of youthful vitality.
He smiled and said: "I have nothing to say. The only requirement is attitude. Show the attitude of us Chinese and let the world see the style of our Chinese students. I know you are all touring overseas for the first time, so you will
You have worries of one kind or another, but don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The applause rang out again!
The students clapped, their eyes bright, and their expressions full of excitement.
Zheng Qian continued: "For us musicians, without music, life is worthless. And symphony is music within music, a sacred palace within music, and it has broad, lofty, and profound meanings."
spirit realm……"
Lou Ze looked at Zheng Qian's back as he spoke, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
With these words, the students who spoke instantly gathered together and felt proud of themselves as musicians.
Look at these kids!
Each and every one of them is as if they have been injected with chicken blood, their morale is great!
What a damn fool!
Having such a disciple here is so worry-free!
After Zheng Qian spoke for two minutes to boost his morale, he asked the students to start playing without wasting any more time.
There are four musical instrument groups on site, including common large and medium-sized violins, as well as piccolo, flute, French horn, trombone, etc. In addition, the percussion group takes up the most space, with various timpani, snare drums, and bass drums placed at the back.
.
In addition, some special percussion instruments, such as tambourine, braid, marimba, harp, etc., are also placed on site, and they are unified into the percussion group.
Zheng Qian's main task this time is to correct the performance of the performance troupe.
So he stood next to the performance stage, watching the conductor waving his baton while listening to the students' performances and chorus.
The first instrumental piece is "You Raise Me Up", which translates to "You Inspire Me". It is a very warm piece of music.
The whole song is a beautiful hymn. The original song actually praises God and warns people to rely on God to overcome themselves and the environment in any difficult and depressing situation. But of course Zheng Qian would not be like this if he was interviewed.
Said, he would say that this is praising the socialist fellow travelers.
"You Inspire Me" enjoyed a very high reputation in the previous life. It became a hit as soon as it was released. It was played frequently on the radio station of the country. It has won the first place in major charts successively. The original singer even won the status of the song with this song.
Nominated for Les Mills Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
This song has been covered by at least 100 artists around the world and recorded more than 125 times in different languages. As stated in the lyrics, it has inspired countless people who have encountered hardship, darkness and failure in life.
There is a powerful spirit of self-encouragement that tells people that no matter what kind of pain and blows we encounter, life continues and we should move forward with all our strength.
Zheng Qian was deeply impressed by the live ensemble.
This is a shocking effect that cannot be achieved by performing alone, especially the sound of the bagpipe that was picked up, which surprised Zheng Qian even more.
As a slightly inspirational and grateful song, "You Inspire Me" is indeed a classic.
Zheng Qian was also satisfied with the chorus' harmony.
According to Lou Ze's idea, he wanted Zheng Qian to stand in the center as the protagonist, and then let the choir highlight Zheng Qian's high notes to highlight Zheng Qian's power.
But this idea was immediately rejected by Zheng Qian.
He believes that performing this song in a group can shock people even more.
Singing alone may better highlight oneself, but the quality of the performers is extremely high. The tour is not just one or two tours, but a long period of focused energy, spanning thousands of miles and arriving in multiple cities.
The fatigue is unimaginable. It’s okay if the choir is missing one or two, but if Zheng Qian is missing from the solo, it won’t be possible.
In addition, the biggest reason is that Zheng Qian is lazy.
The performance of "You Inspire Me" completely gave Zheng Qian confidence that this kind of quality and scale will definitely become popular when it arrives in Europe, not to mention dimensionality reduction.
However, some of the atmosphere was not well done. Zheng Qian gave a few pointers. Every student felt as if they had found a treasure. They kept nodding. Some even took out their notepads and copied Zheng's words in large sections.
A humble speech.
Zheng Qian: "..."
Lou Ze nodded with satisfaction from the side. This is the spirit of studiousness! It is worth promoting!
The second song is "Main Titles", which is a piece of pure music. It was originally the opening theme of the fifth season of "Game of Thrones". Many people like to call this song "Winter is Coming", but Zheng Qian
But he is more willing to take him on the "Military Art Expedition March".
This name was adopted by Lou Ze, but the name was too arrogant. The outside world still called the song "Winter is Coming" or "Main Titles".
The performance time of the entire song "Military Art Expedition" is very short, less than 110 seconds and less than two minutes, but its majestic momentum amazed Zheng Qian, Lou Ze and even the members of the chorus.
Lou Ze even praised: "I think this piece of music can be used as the theme song of an epic masterpiece, such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, or those splendid dynasties in history..."
Zheng Qian turned around and said: "If there is such a movie or TV series, I would be happy to give this song to them for free."
The third piece is "Soviet March". Because the original music is in Russian and no one at the scene understands it, it is just played.
Even so, the momentum of the music was vividly displayed. Although the performance group has some flaws due to their unfamiliarity with the performance, I believe that as long as the practice time is long enough, the momentum of this music will definitely be improved to a higher level.
Compared with the previous two songs, this "Soviet March" is so familiar to Lou Ze. His father, Dean Lou Qingchun, studied in the Soviet Union in his early years and has a unique feeling for Soviet songs. Growing up in such a family
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Lou Ze also had a special love for Soviet music.
Therefore, when the "Soviet March" started playing, Lou Ze sank into it in an instant.
It was an overwhelming momentum.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Zheng Qian singing softly to the music next to him.
"The military songs are so loud, the red flag is waving, from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, this is our great Soviet, its glory shines thousands of feet, shining on the earth..."
"Comrades step together, move forward bravely, defend the truth, fight bravely, let Lenin's flag rise high, and build a new world of revolution..."
At this moment, Lou Ze felt a tremor all over his body. This resonance from the depths of his soul almost made him burst into tears.
Although it didn't feel like it rhymed, the content of the lyrics gave Lou Ze goosebumps all over his body.
Zheng Qian sang for a while without any words. He just looked at the energetic performers and the young conductor waving his baton crazily, and a warmth surged in his heart.
The seeds of socialism are growing vigorously!
Everyone seems to be born with the consciousness of being a successor to socialism...
