Chapter 379: Make a Military Band!
In fact, there are many military songs and red songs that have been adapted by Xia Hongsheng and adapted by Xia Hongsheng in the military academy. Those are classics, long-tested songs, of course, the lyrics dare not be copied as they are, they all have to be modified, otherwise it is easy to have accidents, and some will even lose their lives.
For example, the sentence in "Unity is Strength" "Fire at the fascists, let all undemocratic systems die, towards the sun, towards freedom, towards New China", if you dare to sing it directly, you will be immediately cut off by Li Laoer. What the hell is fascism, you talked about democracy and freedom at the peak of feudal society, and you still want a new China, this is rebellion, it is rebellion!
So basically, the lyrics of this kind of song that Xia Hongsheng learned from later generations have been more or less modified.
Xia Hongsheng's attitude towards things has always been to either don't do it, or do it well. Since you are going to hold a singing competition, you can't mess around and snort and howl a few songs casually. You have to have an accompaniment, not to mention how professional it is, at least you can get a tune!
I thought about it, but I couldn't think of the right instrument. After all, it is a military school, and what is sung is a military song after all, and it has to be sonorous, hard, and enthusiastic. Therefore, the drum is the same, and the sound of other silk and bamboo is beautiful, but if it is put into the army, it seems to be a little lacking in confidence and lacks the meaning of majesty.
After thinking about it, there are still nearly two months before the Chinese New Year, so it is better to fully carry forward the doctrine of bringing it and organize a military band.
What instruments do you need for a military band? Trumpet, cornet, French horn, trombone, various horns, snare drums, various drums, clarinets, oboees, various pipe ...... Xia Hongsheng was immediately depressed. That's it. What a ghost can do with such musical instruments!
I was going to give up. But in my mind, I kept thinking of the scene when the military band played music and cooperated with the military parade in later generations, and my heart was itching.
Xia Hongsheng came out of Ma Zhou and went back to his office, Qi Yong had already led the coal stove when he went to Ma Zhou, Xia Hongsheng lay on the coal stove and thought about it for a long time, and then took a piece of paper and listed all the instruments used in the military band that he could recall. Then sort these things up.
Drums are naturally the easiest to make. Nowadays, there are drums in this era, and the principle should be similar, so the drum can be made by someone. And then there's the bugle, and the bugle is one of these trumpets, the simplest of these brass instruments, and it's not used in military bands because it's incomplete. But the army needs it, what wake up, turn off the lights, go out, drill and charge, all need it.
I still have to give it to the professionals! Xia Hongsheng looked at the list of many musical instruments in front of him, and thought to himself.
Moon Immortal is proficient in music. Go back and ask her first to see what the situation is. Then I went to look at the musicians of the Taile genus under Taichang Temple to see if they could study the instruments on it.
Xia Hongsheng put away the piece of paper, went out and walked around the military academy again, and then hurried back to his home and looked for Yuexianlai.
"Yuexian, you are proficient in musical instruments, I am going to establish a military band in the military academy, and the performers are all morale-boosting music in the military, which must be impassioned, sonorous, majestic, vigorous, and vigorous, which makes people's blood boil and exhilarate. Do you know what kind of instrument can achieve this effect? Xia Hongsheng couldn't wait to ask on the way to the study with the same moon immortal.
Yuexian lowered her head and thought about it carefully, and then replied: "The sound of Xun is bitter, the sound of the piano is clear, the sound of the Zheng is quiet, the bell is empty, the flute is sad, the flute is sounding, the sheng is noisy, Xi is sad, the pipa is noisy, the Gong Hou is soft, all of them are not in line with the child's needs, think about it, the only person who can meet the child's request is the drum." ”
Yuexian's answer was the same as Xia Hongsheng expected, Xia Hongsheng took out the piece of paper he wrote in the military academy, looked at it, and sighed: "I still have to make these things......"
"Childe is going to make a new instrument?" Yuexian leaned over to look at the paper in Xia Hongsheng's hand, but saw that there were a lot of things written on it, and it seemed to be an unheard of musical instrument.
Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, these are all musical instruments, but I can't make them, I can draw a rough picture of these things, but I don't know the internal structure." So it's hard to do it even if you want to. ”
"If Childe is worried about this, the slave family can help Childe find someone who is familiar with the eight tones and is proficient in music rhythm instruments, if Childe finds this person, and then gives him the patterns of these instruments, and let him try to finalize them, he will definitely be able to make Childe get his wish." Yuexian thought for a moment and said.
"Oh?" Xia Hongsheng was surprised: "There is still such a talent? Where is it? ”
"The slave family met him in Qinhuai in his early years, and now he should be in Yangzhou. If the son needs, the slave family can write a letter, and the son sent someone to Yangzhou to find his person, and handed over the letter to him. Yuexian said.
Xia Hongsheng clapped his hands and immediately said, "Okay!" Write a letter quickly, and I immediately sent someone to Yangzhou and invited him to Chang'an. I can also ask for the help of a Chinese musician from Tai Lok. ”
Yuexian nodded: "The slave family has a letter, but he is a high-ranking person, but he doesn't know if he wants to come, and he doesn't know yet." ”
"It's okay, Yuexian doesn't need to mention me, just said that there are a few new musical instruments, and I want to ask them to help make them." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand and said: "You go to write a letter, I will draw a few patterns of musical instruments and send them to him first, if he really likes this, he will definitely feel novel, and he will not hesitate to come thousands of miles." ”
"The slave family will write a letter." Yuexian saw that Xia Hongsheng was very excited, so he sat down in front of the desk and picked up a pen to write a letter.
Xia Hongsheng also took out his painting box, spread out the paper, and carefully recalled the appearance of those musical instruments. He first drew the shape of the instrument, and as for how to make it sound, to make it sound in harmony with the rhythm, it was up to the musician to figure out how to do it.
Relying on the various things that he wanted to make after crossing into the Tang Dynasty, many of these things are indescribable and inexplicable, and they are not as intuitive and easy to understand as the direct drawing, so Xia Hongsheng is good at painting realistic sketches.
The musical instruments in the same future life jumped on the paper with Xia Hongsheng's outline, and Yuexian also wrote a letter. Xia Hongsheng picked out a few patterns of musical instruments and enveloped them in the envelope, and then called the discerning people at home, handed them over, and let them set off on the same day, and hurried to Yangzhou to invite people.
