145 Straw (2nd Shift)
The whole song is not long, only ten sentences in total, and after singing it, I go back and sing it again.
The song and lyrics are impeccable, the choice of Qiang flute is also well thought out, the unique timbre complements the lyrics, and the most surprising thing is that it is sung by children's voices, pure with a childish voice, very rich in emotion and penetration, hitting the weakest place in the heart.
Unconsciously, he was infected and driven by the singing.
When the last scale fell, the huge Wind Palace Hall was silent, as if there was a feeling of good time.
Everyone's expressions were different, and Hou Siliang, who was originally full of confidence, had a panicked look on his face for the first time.
Just when everyone thought that the song was finished, a little girl with a little discernment suddenly walked out of the middle of the first row, the little girl was chubby, with a pair of good-looking big eyes, looking innocent and cute, some people recognized that this little girl was Xiao En who had just fallen down and was picked up by Zheng Peng.
Xiao En ignored other people's thoughts, and after coming out, with the encouragement of Zheng Peng's eyes, he sang generously:
"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road,
The grass is green.
The evening breeze blows the willow flute,
Sunset Mountain Outer Mountain.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth,
Half of the acquaintances are scattered.
A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight.
Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road,
The grass is green.
When will you come,
Don't linger when you come.
The end of the sky, the corner of the earth,
Half of the acquaintances are scattered.
Life is rare for reunions, but there are many separations. โ
It turned out to be a cappella, without the harmony of others, without the accompaniment of the Qiang flute, but the sound that was as pure as a clear spring once again hit the weak hearts of the people present, and everyone suddenly had a feeling: music can also be so pure and simple, that is, many places are not sung in place, and there are many singing skills that are not used, but it is still so good and moving.
This is the purest and most touching music.
I just repeated it twice, but it can give people a feeling that it is not enjoyable and difficult to calm down, Xiao En's cappella singing this time just makes people release their feelings, which makes people satisfied, but also has a faint sadness.
In life, who has few family members, confidants and friends who are not around, the sentence "acquaintances are half scattered" evokes the memories buried in the hearts of many people.
After Xiao En finished singing, he returned to his original position, and then all the participants bowed lightly to Li Longji's position.
This is a signal that the show is over.
The scene was quiet for a while, and there was little leaning, I don't know who took the lead, first a few people clapped, and finally everyone, including Li Longji, also stood up and clapped, and the warm applause seemed to overturn the ceiling of the Wind Palace Hall.
The people present may be of age, status, and skills, but they are all related to music, and the most admired is the person with real talent and learning, Hou Siliang's "Qin King Breaking Array Music" performed well, and he also added innovation in the adaptation, but he has always picked up people's teeth.
Zheng Peng is different, the songs and lyrics are all composed by himself, and he also appropriately chooses the Qiang flute and children to dedicate the purest music to everyone.
When the two are compared, the gap is immediate.
Seeing that everything was in his own expectations, Zheng Peng finally let go of a big stone in his heart, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is a very famous song in later generations, the song title is "Farewell", "Farewell", the tune is taken from John ยท The American song "Dreaming of Home and Mother" composed by P. O'Deway became popular in the United States in the late 19th century.
During Li Shutong's stay in Japan, the Japanese lyricist Inu Tong Qiuxi used the melody of "Dreaming of Home and Mother" to fill in the lyrics of "Travel Sorrow", and Li Shutong took the tune of "Travel Sorrow" from Dog Tong Qiuxi, and wrote "Farewell" in 1915, whether it is "Travel Sorrow" or "Farewell", it has become a long-standing classic.
After Zheng Peng heard the purpose of Li Longji's selection of the show, he knew in his heart that An Lu Khan came to Chang'an, and if he came, he had to leave, with the importance of the Tang Dynasty to Tuqishi, he would definitely see him off when he left, although he didn't know who sent it, but this song definitely happened to the occasion.
Regardless of the situation, this song is absolutely a must, because it has stood the test of time.
That is, the victory is in hand, Zheng Peng became "arrogant", let Hou Siliang pick someone first, sit and watch him shamelessly pick all the good ones away without action, the melody of the song "Farewell" is so beautiful, and it is easy to catchy, children have a good memory, and they can sing it in half a day.
Three days in advance, in fact, the main thing is to give the three female musicians who are proficient in the Qiang flute a little more time to practice.
Hou Siliang has been guarding against Pingkangfang, because Zheng Peng has a very good relationship with Pingkangfang, so good that those Oiran took the initiative to speak, don't want money, and are willing to pay for wine and food to accompany Zheng Peng to spend the Spring Festival, and the relationship with Zhou Huishou is also extraordinary, but I didn't expect Zheng Peng's real candidate to be in Huayatang.
In later generations, Zheng Peng has heard too much of the version of "Farewell", and it sounds like the best children's version, the pure and childish children's voice expresses the reluctance to the fullest.
Just now, Hou Siliang said that he invested 500 yuan, with his family background and income, hehe, I'm afraid it will be a long, long time.
Li Longji sighed and said: "It's rare, the front is remade, and the back cappella has changed in terms of words, not bad, not bad." โ
It's worth the trip, Li Longji sighed secretly in his heart.
This time I suddenly came to Zuojiaofang, in fact, I just wanted to see what Zheng Peng was, and I secretly looked forward to it, thinking that Zheng Peng would write a good poem, so that I could adapt a good song.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Peng exceeded his expectations.
"Emperor Xie praised falsely, and Weichen was ashamed." Zheng Peng learned from Hou Siliang to be humble.
Li Longji asked curiously: "Zheng Aiqing, where did this song come from?" โ
"Back to the emperor's words, this is Weichen's graffiti, today is the first time to show people, there are shortcomings, and please ask the emperor for more guidance." Zheng Peng said respectfully.
Sure enough, it was an original new song, Li Longji was even more curious in his heart, and asked: "I heard Father-in-law Qian say that Zheng Aiqing has just entered the teaching workshop, and it has not been long since he accepted the task, so in such a short time, he will create such a good song?" โ
The poems are well written, the words are beautifully written, I don't know how much better than my peers, I didn't expect to be so talented in music, Li Longji felt a little incredible.
Before the competition, Zheng Peng's opinion that music is power made Li Longji impressed.
Zheng Peng said modestly: "On the day I said goodbye to my friends and went to Beijing, I had some vague thoughts, but they didn't take shape for a while, and after accepting the task, I thought it was appropriate, so I stepped up to revise and improve, and fortunately I rushed out before the game." โ
In this way, if you don't show up before the game, you can hide at home and think about making a fortune, which can perfectly cover up the past, and the word arrogance is impossible to mention.
If Zheng Peng said that he would come up with it in a short time, Li Longji really didn't believe it, Zheng Peng took the initiative to "give up" his talent and quick thinking, saying that it was the result of his long-term brewing, but he believed it.
In addition to being reasonable, I also saw Zheng Peng's modest side.
"The old slave can prove," Father-in-law Qian said happily: "After Zheng Lezheng accepted the task, he has been working hard at home, and sometimes he does not step out of the house for a few days, and it is really terrifying to be able to come up with such good results in such a short time." โ
The effect of the internal competition exceeded expectations, and both programs were praised by the emperor, and as the highest person in charge of the Zuo Jiaofang, Gong Qian was honored.
Wang Wenju also smiled and said: "Yes, I also admire Zheng Lezheng's talent from the bottom of my heart." โ
"The little one said that Zheng Lezheng was unusual, or Father-in-law Qian had a unique vision and invited us to Zuojiaofang a piece of treasure."
"The lyrics can be described as a must, it's really amazing, this song will definitely be a classic."
The emperor has expressed his position, and all of them have expressed their opinions, all of them praise Zheng Peng, and there are also unhappy people in the crowd, that is some people who have made the wrong bet, and their faces have begun to deteriorate, especially Hou Siliang, who has bet on himself, his face is as pale as paper.
If you lose, not only will you lose face, but you will also suffer a great loss of money, Zheng Peng is looking for someone after picking someone by himself, or picking a child from Huayatang, what does this mean, it is equivalent to a fight between the two, and the opponent can't win if he gives up one hand and one kick.
It's a shame to lose a lot of hair.
Just when Hou Siliang was about to despair, Li Longji suddenly spoke: "The two programs have their own characteristics, and it is difficult for me to make a choice for a while as a judge, so let's do it, the two Qing families will each talk about what is good about their programs and what is good, you two will make a final decision after making a statement." โ
Still a chance?
Hou Siliang, who was originally desperate, lit up in his eyes, as if he saw a life-saving straw.....
