Yang Jingxing never fails to take Chinese language classes on Tuesday mornings, because the professor, who is in his fifties, is very knowledgeable. He teaches the culture and art of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and has expertise in poetry. For Yang Jingxing, a semi-literate person, it is a treasure trove of culture.

.

Yang Jingxing has recited the lyrics written by Qi Qingnuo's mother countless times in his heart, hoping that practice will make perfect and love will develop over time, allowing him to be inspired by the words and blend in with them when composing music.

In the afternoon, there were sight-singing and ear training and English classes. Yang Jingxing skipped class again and worked hard alone in 402. Jian Yu is worthy of being an educated person with a musician husband, and the lyrics are really well written. Yang Jingxing was originally worried about the chorus

There was a problem, but after he had a rough idea of ​​the theme melody, he found that the problem did not exist at all. The seemingly beautiful and indifferent words in the lyrics actually contained strong thoughts and feelings.

Yang Jingxing originally wanted to take a gorgeous route in the accompaniment of the soundtrack, but in the end he chose piano and pipa. However, the instrumental music here is not a pure accompaniment, but two other protagonists besides the female vocals, almost two independent parts.

Echoing each other with the two female voices, the piano is responsible for more chord textures.

Normal singing rounds all have the same melody, but Yang Jingxing came up with a different tune. Although the theme is unified, the difference is still quite big, and it has to be closely related to the emotion of the lyrics.

A song requires almost four parts of the melody, which is quite nerve-wracking.

It was after six o'clock when Yu Xinting came to invite Yang Jingxing to dinner. But Yang Jingxing actually said, "Can you bring it over for me?"

Yu Xinting and An Xin hurried away and refused to accept Yang Jingxing's money. Half an hour later, they each came back with a bag, several boxes of lunch, several dishes, and a bowl of soup. The two girls were still placing them, and Yang Jingxing started

I devoured the two boxes of lunch in five minutes, then sat down in front of the double-row keyboard and continued.

Yu Xinting and An Xin ate slowly, looking at Yang Jingxing from time to time. After eating, they cleaned up and prepared to leave after realizing that Yang Jingxing had no intention of chatting with them.

Yu Xinting asked: "Do you want to eat tonight?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No need... we're going to have hot pot after this song is finished."

Yu Xinting smiled: "Okay, I want to eat it too."

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Where is your braid?"

Yu Xinting looked at her chest and said, "It's not pierced."

An Xin said: "Prick one now."

Yang Jingxing said quickly: "No, I want to concentrate."

After ten o'clock in the evening, An Xin and Yu Xinting came again and brought the clothes to be washed. As a thank you, they both tied two braids.

Yu Xinting was a little apologetic: "I did her hair, and it's not as beautiful as hers."

Yang Jingxing said: "They are both beautiful, like two sisters."

An Xin smiled: "I am my sister."

Yang Jingxing changed his mind: "Like twins."

An Xin still wanted to be a sister. Yu Xinting put two clothes bags on the chair and explained: "This bag is mine, and this is An Xin's."

Yang Jingxing said: "I recognize him."

After returning home in the middle of the night, Yang Jingxing washed the clothes first. He shook them out one by one. Yu Xinting's long coat was actually wrapped in an autumn coat. It was light pink, thin, soft and small, which she had never seen before.

Pass.

On Wednesday, Yang Jingxing, like most people, skipped the ideological and moral cultivation and basic legal classes. He stayed in 402 since 8 o'clock in the morning, and only spent half an hour eating lunch. He did not accompany Yu Xinting and others to order stir-fries.

After finishing playing a big plate of Sirulu, hurry back to the classroom.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Qingnuo went to visit the 402 class. He was still panting. He stamped a bottle of mineral water in front of Yang Jingxing and said, "We just met No. 3. We laughed to death." No. 3 was the ones chasing He Peiyuan.

One of the boys was numbered third by the 306 people. They all said that this guy had a great sense of comedy and was good at making jokes.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you bullying people again?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "We did good things to cover up and send her to break out."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You have to help each other."

Qi Qingnuo said: "My defense is high, I don't need... I'll take a look."

After reading all the scattered scores or fragments on Yang Jingxing's computer, Qi Qingnuo said: "So fast... What are you going to eat for dinner?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yu Xinting and the others gave it to me."

Qi Qingnuo was envious: "Enjoying it so much? Ask her to count me in."

Yang Jingxing said: "You call yourself...ask Wang Rui and Nian Qing if they are free tomorrow afternoon, and we will rehearse it again."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Can you do it tomorrow afternoon?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Absolutely."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Sing for Sister Ran and Fu Feirong?"

Yang Jingxing said: "That's the plan for the time being."

Qi Qingnuo knocked his half-empty water bottle on the chair: "Aren't you afraid that 306 will be jealous?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "This is my purpose."

Qi Qingnuo was proud again: "You are about to make a mistake."

After having dinner together, the girls left, leaving Yang Jingxing to continue his struggle.

On Thursday afternoon, a few people gathered together. Yang Jingxing printed out four copies of the score, with Yu Xinting in charge of piano and Wang Rui playing pipa. Qi Qingnuo sang the piano part and Nian Qing sang the pipa part. The whole song counts as four parts.

When two pairs cooperate, the two pairs complement each other and complement each other.

The name of the song was originally given by Qi Qingnuo's mother, called "Flowing Water Between Fingers". The lyrics are strictly interlaced rhymes, and the two female voices sing in turns on alternate lines. As the composer, Yang Jingxing first gave a general idea, briefly.

Let’s talk about the structure of the song and the basic requirements for performance and singing.

Qi Qingnuo worried: "Will it be too complicated and messy?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Try it again and then say it. If it doesn't work, change it."

So the girls read the music and became familiar with their responsibilities. Yu Xinting quickly started playing, discussing it with An Xin. Wang Rui was not to be outdone. She didn't say much and devoted herself seriously.

As for the performance of two instruments, the piano is slightly more difficult, because the main melody cooperates with a single voice, but the chord texture serves the overall effect, which is a bit separated, unlike ordinary songs or accompaniments with harmonious chords.

Close integration. Yang Jingxing studied the pipa for three to five days, using what he knew roughly to give full play to its expressive power. Although the melody used a combination of ancient and modern methods, the playing techniques were still traditional and Wang Rui could not be troubled at all.

As for the singing rotation between Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing, although the two parts of the song do not have very difficult euphemisms or exaggerated high notes, the comparison and dependence between the two are relatively strong in the past, which is a test of coordination.

It also tests independence. It is not impossible to sing separately and it will sound good, but the effect will be far worse than the feeling of two-in-one.

Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo are both professionals. Nian Qing is more professional in singing. The two of them compared the similarities and differences in each other's melodies and the feeling of singing in a low voice.

Qi Qingnuo suddenly said to Yang Jingxing: "You can't go away first, give us half an hour."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I'll buy water for you."

Wang Rui said: "It's so cold, I want hot milk tea."

Nian Qing smiled: "You go to KFC and wait, and you will bring it back when you receive our call."

"Okay, I promise it'll be warm when you get back." Yang Jingxing went out and closed the door.

Qi Qingnuo began to conduct, asking Wang Rui and Yu Xinting to play it first. This time the prelude was Pipa, with a slight ancient rhyme. It was repeated several times to create a solid foundation for the audience. Then there was the piano prelude.

The variation is slightly faster in rhythm, and finally the piano's modulation combined with the pipa brings in Nian Qing's voice.

Nian Qing hummed the first line of the lyrics, keeping time to herself, then looked at Qi Qingnuo, and asked her to repeat the same line... The first two lines were exactly the same for both of them, and then they started to change and compare.

Qi Qingnuo hummed a few words and then shouted: "Xinting, you can play faster, don't rush!" This is a problem. Each of the four people has to be independent and cooperate with the other three. Although the melody is different

Pursue the feeling of catching up and comparing, but the performer and singer must not really catch up.

Wang Rui also said: "Don't think it's easy, be serious and let the weird uncle laugh!"

Yu Xinting nodded and rubbed her hands. In fact, Yang Jingxing had marked the details of the performance and singing on the score, but after all, Yu Xinting and the others had just read the score, and this song had a completely different structure and rhythm from the previous "Sun in the Rain"

.

Do it again, Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing stopped humming, Qi Qingnuo acted as the conductor, playing time for Yu Xinting and Wang Rui. After all, they are all professionals, and this time they performed completely.

Yu Xinting turned around in surprise: "It sounds so good!" It's a pity that Yang Jingxing is not here.

Wang Rui said: "The middle part doesn't feel quite right. Is it too fast?"

Qi Qingnuo frowned and looked at the score: "That's wrong, I didn't pay attention. Come on... Xinting, take a look at the third line of the fourth page. Don't put too much emphasis on it." Then he scolded Wang Rui severely: "Look at you.

I'm speechless as to how the ending was played. Do you think you are the overlord and have taken off your armor?"

Wang Rui shouted: "You were the one who gave the command blindly! Come again!"

After a few people summarized it, they started it again. Nian Qing tried to sing softly, and Qi Qingnuo couldn't help it. After it was over, they summarized it again, dealt with the details, and then the four of them came together.

Singing it again is much more difficult than playing it again. Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing are too lazy to criticize each other and just summarize their own problems.

Nian Qing regretted: "I shouldn't sing so high here."

Qi Qingnuo said: "I just slowed down and listened to the piano."

An Xin was a bystander: "I think your voice is too loud...the pipa is also a bit weak."

Wang Rui was irritated: "It was too heavy just now."

After playing it over and over again, the girls discovered that this was not a simple song. The details of the singing and performance were a bit demanding. If a note was wrong, it would be so abrupt.

By three o'clock, An Xin was in front of the electric piano, and the girls felt a little bit better. Wang Rui was the first to be proud: "I'm fine this time! You're such a master! You haven't let me go yet!"

"

Nian Qingfan: "He said he wanted to be brisk. How can he be brisk if he is long and tall? Let's change."

Qi Qingnuo refused: "I can't even sing."

Indeed, from the melody point of view, the song lasts for five minutes and is divided into three sections. The first section is soft and has nothing to say. The second section is a little more complicated. It feels like there are different style requirements for the two singers. Yang Jingxing is responsible for Nian Qing

The part of the part is marked as brisk and powerful, but I don’t know what it means. The part of Qi Qingnuo is marked as soft and graceful, which is not quite like her style. The third paragraph is the ** and the ending, but it seems relatively easy, especially the countdown.

Twenty or thirty bars, it feels like it all breaks out together, but it’s much easier to handle.

Yu Xinting still felt: "It's already very good. Let's ask him to come back and tell us."

Qi Qingnuo shook his head: "No...this section is a bit like a drama, an opera? Isn't it?"

Nian Qing nodded: "I think so too."

There are basically no major problems with the two instruments. Next up are Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo. I feel that the essence of the song itself is never realized. Now it is certain that this is a song with a complex structure but a very nice song, but it is

They can't sing well... It's not like Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing can't sing either.

Think about the details bit by bit. Different stages of this song have different requirements for singing, otherwise the expressiveness will be greatly reduced. Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo both discovered this, and Wang Rui and Yu Xinting took a good rest.

After a while, let them practice. Nian Qing also wanted to sit behind the drum and play rhythm, but Qi Qingnuo rejected it.

Looking at the time, it was already four o'clock. Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing thought it was almost time and asked Wang Rui and Yu Xinting, who were drawing on the blackboard, to take their places.

Qi Qingnuo solemnly announced: "This is the last time! Don't be embarrassed to eat later!"

An Xin prepared the recording pen and held it between the four singers and performers.

The last time, it felt good. Wang Rui nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's worthy of me."

Nian Qing scolded happily: "***, Yang Jingxing is playing tricks on others... He is not allowed to sing for others!"

Yu Xinting was happy: "It sounds really good."

Qi Qingnuo quickly connected the recorder to the computer. The recording effect must be very poor, but you can listen to the overall feeling. After several girls crowded in front of the computer to listen, Nian Qing said: "Find a recording studio and try it."

Qi Qingnuo called Yu Xinting: "Call!"

More than a quarter of an hour later, Yang Jingxing came back with two big bags of fast food: "Thank you for your hard work, eat it while it's hot."

Yu Xinting said: "You should listen first."

Yang Jingxing said: "Eat first, otherwise you will get cold."

The five girls feasted for a while, and Wang Rui reported: "Yu Xinting and I have no problem for a long time. The two singers are not professional... Oops, it's so hot!"

Yu Xinting gnawed on chicken wings: "No, they sang very well."

Qi Qingnuo complained: "Where is my friend, give it to me... Sister Ran is fine, can Fu Feirong sing?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Learn slowly, just to let her know that there are many ways to sing songs."

Nian Qing was dissatisfied: "Oh, we are being used as experimental subjects."

Yang Jingxing explained: "If you all can't sing well, then it must be the problem with my singing."

An Xin said: "I think if it is given to professional singers and produced properly, it will definitely achieve results."

After eating, the girls went to wash their hands and faces and get ready. Yang Jingxing sat behind the double row of keys next to the podium, full of expectations. Yu Xinting sat in front of the electric piano and said, "An Xin also played."

Yang Jingxing said, "It's the same as what you say."

Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing were standing, each holding a sheet of music and facing Yang Jingxing. Qi Qingnuo called Wang Rui: "Let's begin."

Hey, the author is different here. Wang Rui shook her head while playing the pipa, and An Xin even helped her and Yu Xinting turn over the score.

Nian Qing's voice was a little softer than before during practice, and so was Qi Qingnuo's. But after singing two lines, they looked at each other. Could it be that Yang Jingxing had a motivating effect?

At about two minutes, a flowing pipa played introduced a rhythm change, and Yang Jingxing began to nod. This is not a simple song. It is already amazing that four girls can practice it like this in three or four hours.

The whole middle section is a kind of flowing flow with a slight intensity. Although the singer may not be relaxed, the listener should get this feeling. The melody is brisk but does not lose its intensity, and it is occasionally graceful, which is very beautiful.

The second section is the climax and the end. The feeling of chasing each other between Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo intensifies. The rhythm suddenly speeds up by half. The pipa quickly raises its tone in a short transition, and the piano seems to encourage the melody from behind.

The intensity of the harmonies and rhythms increases, and the piano plays the role of motivator, and the rich harmonies quickly inspire the singers and the audience.

The ending is very short and wrapped up very quickly. It is not a traditional technique and leaves people with the feeling that something is not yet finished. Several girls looked at Yang Jingxing and he started to applaud very hard.

"Evaluate it." Nian Qing gasped a little.

Yang Jingxing said: "Okay!"

Qi Qingnuo was dissatisfied: "Please be more to the point. We welcome criticism and correction."

Yang Jingxing said: "It's really good. It was still a semi-finished product originally, but you helped me finish it...but I can discuss it with you again."

The so-called further discussion doesn't mean anything big, it's just some small details, mainly about singing. However, the correction of these details will not greatly improve the live effect, it is only for the recording studio.

Wang Rui exposed Yang Jingxing: "You just want us to admire you, right?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I want to admire you."

Qi Qingnuo asked Yang Jingxing: "Really singing for Fu Feirong?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Take the score with them and take a look first."
Chapter completed!
