"As we all know, the development of musical art is inseparable from artistic forms such as poetry and dance. Until now, the relationship between music and language art is very close, which determines that the artistic processing techniques in music will definitely draw on the rhetoric that is indispensable in language!"

Li Wenyin smiled and did not immediately explain her comments.

Instead, we began to describe the definition of music rhetoric to students in detail in order to deepen our understanding.

"For example, in the creation of scripture songs, sometimes simple melody and rhythm were written based on language pronunciation. In this way, the lyrics and language tone, rhythm, melody, and water can better express the emotions of lyrics and calligraphy. This [special music] reflects the principle of rhetoric."

"Sometimes, in order to reflect the emotions of the music and make the music more convincing, the comparison of changing sound systems, modular changes, decorative sounds, and rhythmic textures are referenced in the music."

The students were a little confused.

Isn’t this the music theory we usually learn?

What does this have to do with rhetoric?

But Li Wenyin continued.

"Just like the simplest structure of a literary work, there will be a format of the beginning, middle section development, and end. The layout of the musical work is also crucial. This requires you to have a big view of the whole music, and the processing of intermediate music, music rhetoric occupies a large position."

"Combining some basic musical elements, such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, interval relationship with music modification means, makes the music passages have specific emotions, emotions, and symbolic meanings. Therefore, using these musical elements with specific abstract meanings to compose the entire framework more rounded and complete."

"This is a rational composition thinking that type of elemental techniques!!"

The students seemed to have realized it, but not completely.

I understand, but I don't understand all of it, and I'm still a little confused.

The students began to frown.

"Student, do you have any problems?"

Seeing someone raising his hand, Li Wenyin smiled and signaled the student to speak.

The student picked up the microphone and seemed to have some confusion on his face.

"plum......."

"Just call me senior."

"Then, Senior Li, in this case, will the composition become a formatted and templated thing? Then how is this different from the commercial swearing songs produced on the market?"

This sentence immediately aroused the curiosity of many students!

yes!

The definitions Li Wenyin mentioned seem to be about formatting music.

Music theory is formed into a strict template and created with textbook techniques.

Isn't this... the same as the pipeline?

"Of course there are, and very different!"

"Let me give the simplest example. If composition is compared to writing novels, then it comes from music rhetoric. This study of music [grammar], design, layout, and style of the entire framework are all based on music theory, just like writing novels... article format, rhetorical techniques, metaphor, parallelism, analogy, or exaggeration, comparison, etc., is used."

"This not only has a strict template and framework, but it actually does not limit the creator's infinite thinking and does not dispel that imagination."

Smiling, Li Wenyin looked at the student who asked the question.

"And the commercial assembly line songs you talk about, templated and formatted, are like giving you an article template. They can't even be said to be outlines, but mechanical copying, homogeneous plot, homogeneous description style, homogeneous language, and you can tell at a glance that it is plagiarism without changing the name."

"You will know that these two things are completely different. You must learn to distinguish and look at them dialectically!"

The students suddenly realized.

It was my understanding at the beginning that it was a bit black or white.

Just like the language logic and rhetorical techniques written by writers are actually the same, but the feelings expressed are completely different.

Instead, plagiarism is the same.

"The question raised by this classmate just now is very good, and it just makes everyone understand the relationship between music rhetoric and theme motivation more."

Li Wenyin smiled.

"It's also an example of novels."

"The theme is the emotions expressed in the whole book. Such emotions are reflected through the plot, and in the plot, portraying characters is one small motive after another!"

"Our music rhetoric is to better connect and promote and develop these small motivations in a more scientific way, so as to make the motivation full and form the music as a whole."

"This kind of logical planning and layout, focusing on the creative concept of content expression, and using you to demonstrate personalized style and perform appropriately, will make the music develop more wonderfully."

Damn it!

If you say that, don’t we understand?

The students think of some knowledge they have learned before, and combined with what Li Wenyin says now, they suddenly have a strong memory of the theme, motivation, and rhetoric of music theory.

"Let's keep talking."

"Music is a language, an art of speech and persuasion!"

After going around, Li Wenyin finally began to explain to the students the concept he had put forward at the beginning.

What is common between music and rhetoric.

persuade!

"At the beginning, music was also a kind of inconsistency in the desire to interpret or convey a message and concept and exchange ideas. Whether it was the ancient Chinese sacrificial rituals, music and dance, sings of wizards, or sangs chanted by European churches, popular songs from modern people are all expressing some kind of prayer, emotion, and concept."

From the origin, development, detailed explanation and layered analysis of music, Li Wenyin talked to the students.

"Music is a form of expression. Human beings hope to use such a carrier to achieve some indescribable connection with gods, demons, and listeners. In this sense, music is no different from language, and they are tools of communication."

"So, since it is a language, it is completely consistent with the composition of language. Music also has grammars such as music vocabulary, phrases, structures, and sentence composition. These are actually the basis of music theory for students to learn."

The students nodded.

Seeing the students' thoughtful look, Li Wenyin smiled and said softly.

"It is not as difficult and mysterious as imagined. In fact, the grammar of these languages ​​is melody, rhythm, street shooting, speed, strength, tone, tone, tone, harmony, etc. These are far from the daily language familiar to humans, and such abstract time display art does not have concreteness and semanticity."

"So, music is a language with a unique grammatical vocabulary."

The students began to understand Li Wenyin's words.

In fact, it is not difficult to accept such an explanation.

It can even be said to be very basic.

However, some of the confusing definitions that make people confused are suddenly easy to understand and make people suddenly enlightened by this clever analogy.

"But in fact, students have mastered a lot of the composition of these languages, because this is our most basic music theory."

"Through these musical theories, use rhetoric to weave your emotions, such as using appropriate tone, effective grammatical organization, and using your rationality to build a sensory auditory world. In such a sound experience, trigger inner emotions, allowing them to understand a mysterious emotion expressed by the composer that is difficult to express in words and reach connections."

"This is a kind of speech and persuasion in musical language!!"

Li Wenyin smiled softly.

The topic, once again, turned back to the initial definition!!

Although it seems like a big circle, in fact, through this circle, it is even easier to understand!

Li Wenyin's words made many students' eyes stern.

"Music is not for good sound! Remember! Music does not exist for good sound, but for being remembered!!"

"For example, it is still Beethoven's fifth symphony. Destiny, the beginning of the three shorts and one long, is the motivation for fate to knock on the door. It is very short and very simple, but the whole piece of music is composed of this dynamic mechanism. In all the movements, this motivation frequently deforms!"

"The so-called motivation can be understood as a small unit with recognition, but not a unique recognition! Can it be understood?"

The students nodded.

The so-called recognition is the fundamental reason why music is remembered.

The meaning of not unique recognition is also very simple.

Such motivation is very simple and very common. If used by others, it is not called plagiarism.

It’s like an anchor likes to use the word “I’ll cover you monkey”, and another likes to use the recognizable word “I’ll cover you monkey”.

But the feeling and effect of the two people saying it is completely different, and this cannot be called plagiarism. It’s just that the two people accidentally scolded the same words.

"And the theme that motive develops is a musical segment with unique recognition. Simply put, as long as you don't run away and hum, others can tell which song it is."

"The concept and application of dominant motivation, the difference between motivation and Lehui will not be discussed in detail here. There may be open classes in the future, and we will explain it later."

Li Wenyin's words immediately made the students excited.

Good!

Isn’t this telling us that there will be lessons later?!

happy!

"Baoba!!"

"Let's keep talking!"

Li Wenyin smiled.

"For example, in rhetorical techniques, when dialectical, there will be introductions, factual statements, differentiation of opinions, and then personal ideas are proof, critical refutation, and finally conclusions are reached."
