I saw the beautiful fairies dancing and spent a soul-crushing moment with them. Just when I was about to be punished for my blasphemy, I drifted into a deeper dream.
Regardless of whether its musical vocabulary is radical or not, at least the philosophy behind it is undoubtedly "Dionysian" and embodies some kind of "pool" mystical inspiration.
"So the "Prelude to the Afternoon of the Faun" that Viennese was inspired by the 'old days', and the first movement "The Poem of Awakening" that I composed based on what I saw in the South, are both dreamy inspirations dominated by the 'Dionysian' style.
, so that the 'Awakening Chant' was realized in different eras."
"The contents they depict are all violence and pastoral poetry, and they are all 'summer noon dreams'."
As Fan Ning's thoughts flowed inadvertently, he determined the overall title of "Third Symphony". When it is not appropriate to declare "Third" at the moment, the latter is undoubtedly a more suitable choice to meet the public.
"And if I want to follow my current train of thought and continue writing my 'Summer Noon Dream' to perfection, I obviously need to interpret the dream more deeply, and even try to answer 'Love is a question'."
"So, among the many occult features of dreams, what is the most abstract and essential?" Fan Ning couldn't help but ask in a low voice when his thoughts reached the last sentence.
Human beings are often accustomed to associate late night with silence and darkness, but the Ortos Rainforest in midsummer is an exception. There is clear moonlight and noisy insects and birds, but the two students who focused on the path under their feet did not hear it.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Qiong's handwriting appeared again on Fan Ning's lapel:
"The suppressed emotions and desires are satisfied in disguised form."
frightened
The rhythm of everyone's return journey is completely different from when they left.
Fan Ning gave up the method of commanding the way, and casually chose the means of transportation in a generally southerly direction, and stayed and slept according to a regular daily routine.
Sometimes he took Luna and Ann on a journey in a merchant's carriage, sometimes he hired donkeys from farmers going to market, and sometimes he played an old piano in a dilapidated station, waiting for the clang of the old-fashioned steam train.
They drove into the platform, dragging chains and coal ash.
There are also moments like this, when the steam ferry is sailing on the route of the Paradogos Islands, the sea is calm without any ripples, the sky is as blue and black as the sea, and as much starlight shines in the sky, the sea level is also the same.
On the deck, Fan Ning was leaning against the side while writing. The two little girls lay on their sides on the wicker chairs, looking at the teacher and then at the sea. As time passed, they could no longer tell the difference between the sea and the sky. In many moments, they felt like they were stretching their bodies.
On the edge curve of the sky, if you loosen or slip just a little, you will fall into the vast and dazzling sea below.
At another moment, Fan Ning drew a double vertical line to end the third movement in his hand. He felt happy in his heart, so he held on to the side rail of the steam ferry and exhaled toward the black and blue sea. However, his mood was like
A cup of boiling tea left outside may feel hot when you drink it, but it will cool down in a blink of an eye if you don't pay attention.
Fan Ning, who has been immersed in Western humanities and poetry for several years, just now for some reason, a sentence like "The moon shines separately, the bright river shares its shadow, and both the outside and inside are clear."
For the current starry sky and sad mood, he felt that this was really suitable for the occasion, but facing the two girls beside him who were always paying attention to his every move, he also said, "it's hard to tell you the beauty of it when you understand it leisurely," so
The moment I just finished writing, I could only "keep my nose on the boat and scream alone, not knowing what time it will be."
In this life of the old industrial world, is it possible for me to include Tang poetry and Song lyrics in a symphony in the future?
It sounds like a ridiculous idea. How have I ever seen such a work in my two lives...
Fan Ning chuckled and shook his head when he thought of this, and then his thoughts returned to the "Summer Noon Dream" in his creation.
The third movement that has just been completed is "The Animals of the Forest Tell Me". It is a scherzo with an exotic and mysterious beginning: in the light decomposed octave pizzicato of the string section,
The clarinet plays the ostinato pattern of birdsong, which complements the flute's dance theme of cuckoos... More and more birds sing gracefully, forming a bold counterpoint relationship, and the friction and squeeze between intervals even has a hint of
Provocative and sexy style...
But as the dance theme progresses continuously, the triplet rhythmic call of the E-flat clarinet heralds the individual death of these jungle singers. Under the guidance of the harp in measure 37, a new and generous nightingale sound emerges.
It makes an elegant appearance and gradually develops into a resonant solo with the band's off-site address, which seems to praise the beauty of life in the pastoral poem.
And when the audience thought that the violence in the jungle ended, the unsettling cuckoo theme reappeared in the second half, so the main line here is just the continuation and clarity of the second movement - it is still the tragedy of individual death, including
Plants, including animals, the elegant nightingale is just a small episode among them.
Near the end, Fan Ning completely abolished the only remaining graceful nightingale image that symbolized hope, and used continuous vibrato descending and the band's strong playing to create a disastrous sound effect. This song
The scherzo finally comes to an end in a fragment that metaphorically expresses the tragic atmosphere.
The above creative process was completed very smoothly under the current inspiration, and Fan Ning did not experience too many difficult ideas.
Because he seemed to have found a little "routine" in the creation process of this key: the first movement "Poem of Awakening" bred from "nothing", "void" or "chaos" climbed upwards to the second
The movement "Plant World", and then the third movement "Animal World", they are all praying for higher spirituality, which is a very appropriate expression.
"The most thrilling step is probably from the third to the fourth movement..." Fan Ning knew very well that the previous "routine" might not be completely copied.
Only by first understanding the Phaeta can one climb the Phaeta and be promoted to the Insightful One in one's own way. This "Third Symphony" expresses its understanding by metaphorizing the upper and lower structures of the Phaeta -
The doors at the first, second, and third heights are all just "spiritual doors", corresponding to the "gnosis" contained by the Knower during the ascent...
Starting from the fourth height, the fourth, fifth, and sixth doors are the "doors of divinity"! They correspond to "true knowledge"!
How to complete the transition from metaphorical "spirituality" to metaphorical "divinity"?
In the vast sea, Fan Ning, who was leaning on the side of the ship, started to have a headache and "stuck up" when he thought about the subsequent creation.
Chapter completed!
