When he was in Jingzhou, he mostly sang songs composed by Gao Wenjun. Li Chengzhi felt that it was not very elegant, so he learned the relatively simple flute.
It's really not difficult to learn, and you can get started in half a day, so he said it was "easy to learn." But he was quick to speak and even scolded himself.
Gao Wenjun looked helpless.
She felt that these two were hopeless...
After sitting for a while, several people left and took care of their own business.
Gao Zhan has to contact the ice sales, the venue of the celebration, and the coordinators. Li Cheng first has to go to the music market to select musicians. Li Chengzhi is still keeping an eye on the progress of the project, and by the way, he writes and arranges the music with Gao Wenjun.
The appearance of a man, a talented woman, and a beautiful woman are like a perfect match, with a certain elegance of harmonious music and red sleeves adding fragrance.
The only bad thing is that there is an extra light bulb like Wei Yu. But Li Chengzhi has long been used to it, so he just treats it as an extra person who relieves boredom and can make him laugh even when he has nothing to do.
Without changing the place, it was placed in the middle hall. Gao Wenjun ordered his officials to bring in various musical instruments and prepare to test music with Li Chengzhi.
Drums, pianos, gongs, cymbals, etc. were okay. When he saw two chimes and a konghou (a double-row stringed qin) that was as tall as a man, Li Chengzhi's eyes almost dropped to the ground.
Gao Wenjun really thought he was going to play palace music?
It's not that exaggerated. It's considered drumming music at most, and the instruments used are not many. They are roughly: drums, gongs, cymbals, ruan, pipa, flute, xiqin, sheng, suona, etc.
Among them, gongs and cymbals belong to military music, not elegant banquet instruments. However, Xiqin, Ruan (round pipa), four-stringed pipa (pear-shaped), suona, etc. were all introduced to the Central Plains not long ago, and Taichang and Taiyue have not been thoroughly studied.
, it has not yet been included in the ritual vessels.
Therefore, the only instruments used for this performance were leather drums and bamboo shengs and flutes, which were considered ritual instruments. They were still six short of the eight tones (eight types of musical instruments specified in ritual music) required for palace banquets.
It's far from being over the limit.
Even if he could use it, in order to avoid being impeached by the imperial censor, Li Chengzhi would definitely not be able to use illegal instruments like chimes.
It is also because the music is not difficult, unlike large-scale palace music that requires dozens of musical instruments to perform a symphony, so it does not need to be so complicated.
Li Chengzhi thought a little and planned to change the music into something similar to a concerto, focusing on the suona and the xiqin, two musical instruments with strong penetrating power and wide coverage. The rest of the drums, flutes, shengs, etc., were at most considered
Harmony.
It still sounds complicated, but to be honest, it’s worthless: think of the suona and the xiqin as a male and female duet, and the other instruments as accompaniment...
This was the idea that came to him when he saw the suona and the erhu, and he thought about the scene in the park in later generations when the old men played the suona and the erhu at the same time.
Well, the so-called Xi Qin is Erhu.
It's not a foreign product, it's a serious national musical instrument. It really existed at this time. It comes from the Kumoxi Department of the Xianbei Yuwen Department.
There are strings that are played, and strings that are drawn, but most of the strings are made of leather and hair. Li Chengzhi spent some time and pulled out some relatively uniform copper wires, which are definitely easy to use...
As for the music, Li Chengzhi has a lot in mind.
He's really not bragging.
If you change anyone else, like "Dance of the Golden Snake" which is an indispensable part of the Spring Festival Gala every year, six or seven of the ten rural advertisements (especially fertilizers, pesticides, and seeds) are used as the soundtrack for "Backgammon", etc., you can definitely hum it.
Come out most of the time?
If not, will you sing popular songs: like "The Most Dazzling National Style", "First Experience of Love", "Burn My Calories", "Big Sedan Chair", "Tracker's Love", etc., using folk music
The performance is definitely better.
If you don’t remember all this, will "Happy Landlords" do it?
Those who have worked as county and township civil servants have the deepest experience. As long as there are festivals like March 8th, May Day, July 1st, August 1st, November, New Year's Day, Spring Festival Gala and other festivals or gifts, there is nothing else: just start acting! <
/p>
Moreover, Li Chengzhi was no worse in his previous life than he is now. He was the main force in the literary and artistic work of his unit. He practiced every year, sang every year, and performed every year. Even if he changed his head, he could memorize several classic folk music and dances. For example, "Hundred Years"
"Birds Facing the Phoenix", "The Elephant King's Journey" and so on.
But Li Chengzhi felt that most of these music were not shocking enough, so he planned to play something more passionate.
Not many, Li Chengzhi first decided on four songs: "Song of a Hero", "Iron-Blooded Heart", "Hello in the World": As for the theme song of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, "Ho, ha... I asked the world if this mountain is the highest...
..." That song, and another one is "Men Should Be Strong".
If there is enough rehearsal time, I might add two more festive songs: such as "Good Luck Comes". Or some more upbeat songs: such as "Three Beauties Play Bajie", "Bajie Carrying His Wife"... It's all there!<
/p>
As for the music of later generations, would the ancients appreciate it if it were placed in the Northern and Southern Dynasties?
Li Chengzhi is not worried at all: music has no borders and can transcend time and space. What sounds good will always sound good.
Is "Men Should Be Strong" good to listen to?
Huang Zhan extracted it from the "General's Order" in the Tang Dynasty.
Is "A Laugh from the Sea" good?
Adapted from "Three Lanes of Plum and Yellow" written in the Western Jin Dynasty...
Among the nine-part court music of the Sui Dynasty and the ten-part court music of the Tang Dynasty, only Qing Shang music was inherited from the ancient music of Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei and other dynasties, and the rest all belong to the "Songs of Four Barbarians and Five Directions"
category, and most of them come from Hexi and the Western Regions.
All of these are the contributions of the emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The purpose is naturally to achieve national integration and promote the Sinicization of Xianbei as soon as possible. Therefore, the Northern Wei Dynasty was a period of extremely rapid and diversified music development in the past dynasties.
As long as it sounds good, Li Chengzhi will have no problem playing "Für Elise" on the guzheng, and it will definitely be a hit and a hit!
So it’s really not that Li Chengzhi knows too much. As long as you are not illiterate and your luck is not so bad that your teeth will choke when you drink water, there are still many ways to travel to ancient times...
Coming from Jingzhou east, Li Chengzhi would pick up the suona and flute to practice when he had nothing to do. He was already very good at playing the suona and flute.
At least it rarely gets stuck...
When he picked up the suona, he was originally going to play "Ba Jie Carrying His Wife", but when he saw Wei Yu with residual milk in the corner of his mouth, looking at him with a pair of big round eyes, Li Chengzhi became more playful: "Tong Yan"
, Tongyin, looks so festive? It’s really appropriate...
"Would you like to play a song for you?"
Wei Yu's eyes lit up, and just when he was about to nod, he suddenly remembered, "Last year, a drop of tears from staring at my eyes has not reached my ears yet..."
"Are you stupid enough?" Li Chengzhi sneered, "That's a poem, this is a song! Is it possible that I can still scold you in the song?"
Oh, that’s right!
Wei Yu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes..."
When Li Chengzhi finished playing, Wei Yu's eyes turned into crescent moons with joy: "It's really nice. What's the name of this piece?"
""Ba Bo'er Ben Bo Er Ba"!" Li Chengzhi smiled, "Bring Wei Jin here some other day, okay? I'll teach you how to sing?"
"You can still sing?" Wei Yu was even happier and shouted in a sweet voice, "Okay, okay!"
Gao Wenjun pursed his lips tightly, his eyes full of smiles.
The song is quite cheerful, but that's the look in Lang Jun's eyes... Every time he is about to tease Wei Yu, he has this look.
Poor little Yu'er, how come she doesn't have a long memory after being angry and crying so many times?
