Three consecutive songs of different styles have made everyone understand the quality of this concert, it is destined to become a classic!
And at this time.
The concert goes on.
After the Canon ended, Lin Yuan spoke again:
“Behind this next piece of music, there is a poignant love story.
Legend has it that in ancient times there was a woman named Zhu Yingtai who loved to recite poetry and wanted to go abroad to study. However, women at that time were not allowed to show their faces in public, so she and her maid Yinxin disguised themselves as men and went to study in other places.
On the way, the two met a scholar named Liang Shanbo and his servant Shi Jiu.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai hit it off right away, and they went to the academy together to study…”
The story Lin Yuan told was "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".
The reason why such a story was mentioned at the concert is because the next song is called "Butterfly Lovers"!
It tells the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turning into butterflies.
In fact, there are more or less some stories behind many musical works.
Some are made up, some are true, and some are simply made up by people after appreciating the works based on their own understanding of the works.
Lin Yuan is so awesome.
After all, the story of Liang Zhu is one of the four major folk love stories in our country.
The reason why it can be widely circulated is that it is touching enough.
“… Later, Liang Shanbo died of illness, and Zhu Yingtai pretended to agree to the Ma family’s marriage, but required the wedding procession to pass through Nanshan Mountain and let her get off the sedan chair to pay tribute to Liang Shanbo.
When Zhu Yingtai got out of the sedan chair to pay homage to the tomb, there was a sudden burst of wind and rain, with a gloomy and chilly atmosphere.
To everyone's shock, Liang Shanbo's tomb actually cracked. Zhu Yingtai jumped in without hesitation, and the tomb immediately closed again.
Soon, a pair of inseparable butterflies flew out of the grave. "
Narrating.
The audience listened attentively.
When Lin Yuan's last words fell, the sound of plucking strings and then flute sounded naturally, and the audience felt as if they were in the clouds, overlooking the hazy scene of the world.
then.
The orchestra started.
The clouds were pushed aside by an invisible pair of hands, and the scene on earth gradually became clear from blurry.
The audience seems to see that during the three years in the academy, the friendship between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai continues to deepen.
Smiling.
Making a fuss.
Caring about each other.
The violin music is long and lingering, faint and far away.
The cello is rich and mellow, accompanying us tacitly.
The two instruments, the violin represents Zhu Yingtai and the cello represents Liang Shanbo, a duet of affectionate love.
doubt.
disturbed.
firm.
The violin, as the main voice, gradually took over the melody, with its affectionate, soothing and slightly introspective tone, which perfectly interpreted Zhu Yingtai's emotional transition. This woman thought a lot about the obstacles she would face when being with him.
Be brave to love!
I don’t know whether it was Zhu Yingtai who made her heart firm or the audience who gave their sincere blessings.
The melody suddenly became light!
The sound of the flute also became louder!
The cello dances!
It's like a spring outing for two people on a sunny March day.
However, although it is nice to be together, there is always a time to say goodbye.
After the happy mood comes the reluctant farewell.
The theme variations are played slowly, like a step that cannot be taken, but eventually has to go away, but the duet of the cello and violin is closely combined and inseparable.
The audience was silent, feeling inexplicably distressed.
Although I was listening to music, the story before my eyes became clearer and clearer.
Especially when the orchestral music suddenly surged like a huge wave, the audience seemed to feel infinite resistance.
Is it your father's objection
Is it the difference in family background
Faced with this powerful resistance, the violin fought back fiercely!
The conflict between the two gradually escalated, and finally there was a sublime ensemble, and a huge sadness suddenly filled the whole venue!
Liang Shanbo died.
It's as if the notes can speak.
This is the message that the music tells every audience member.
At this moment, the violin sounded mournful and mournful, with mournful and fragmented sounds, just like Zhu Yingtai's dead heart at this moment.
finally.
The final movement.
There are cries, kneeling and repetitive music, like flashbacks of memories.
Gradually.
The tears have dried.
Amid the sad and angry bass gong sound, Zhu Yingtai leaped into the air, and the music simultaneously reached its climax!
Transform into a butterfly!
The final part of the song!
With the accompaniment of the light and flowing string music, all the audience's eyes were red!
People seem to see the pair of butterflies transformed by Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, flying freely and happily among the flowers, never separating!
It is a beautiful spring day.
The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
It is a ray of warm sunshine shining into the cold and desperate darkness!
This moment.
The audience felt like they were in another world!
Many people didn’t even notice that this piece of music lasted for a full twenty-five minutes!
Their biggest feeling was that they watched a dreamy and sad love story and listened to a song that was both desperate and hopeful.
The whole audience was silent.
In the silence, a sudden sob came from somewhere.
And just when the sobbing seemed to spread to more corners, huge applause quickly covered everything!
"ah!"
“It sounds so good!”
“It’s so shocking!”
"Do you feel that his music seems to speak? The coordination of instruments perfectly retells the story he told before—"
"Liang Zhu!"
"I'm crying my eyes out!"
"When I listened to him telling this story, I just listened to it as a story, but when the music started, I seemed to have become a person in the story."
“Every instrument tells a thousand words!”
“The use of the violin and the emotional expression are already superb!”
“Music can actually be a language!”
"The butterfly transformation at the end makes me burst into tears!"
“This is one of the most beautiful love stories I have ever heard!”
"I almost forgot I was at a concert. It felt like I was watching a movie, or experiencing life."
“Only Xianyu’s music can have such a strong sense of imagery.”
Someone is communicating.
Some people are sighing.
Someone is commenting.
Some people just shed tears.
…
Where Yang Zhongming and others were, the expressions of several top Qu Dads were all shocked.
Yin Dong said: "The use of violin is amazing."
Ye Zhize was thoughtful: "The duet of cello and violin is a metaphor for the protagonist of the story and expresses the theme of love. It is a very delicate arrangement."
Lu Sheng: "The melody is written into people's hearts."
Abigail also spoke after a moment of hesitation: "We all try to tell stories with music, but none of us can do it as well as he does. I will probably never forget today's concert."
"Old Yang."
Zheng Jing suddenly spoke.
Yang Zhongming looked up: "Hmm?"
"Do you think he'll surpass you after this concert?"
"He has surpassed me. The Butterfly Lovers is one of the best violin concertos I have ever heard, not to mention that his classic works are far more than just this one."
"I mean the ranking on the music charts."
"Then we need to listen to the performance he specially arranged for tomorrow. After all, I am still third. It won't be easy to get ahead of me."
"You mean the symphony?"
"Um."
Yang Zhongming spoke.
Old Yang always subconsciously looks up to Xianyu. He likes this junior, or rather this child, very much.
However, every once in a while, Xianyu would always break Yang Zhongming's cognition, making him realize that he seemed to have underestimated the other party.
Until today.
Until now.
Yang Zhongming discovered for the first time:
It seems that I can no longer look at Xianyu with the eyes of a younger generation.
"Why do I suddenly feel like my child has grown up?"
Yang Zhongming found his own inexplicable thoughts funny, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. For him, this concert was a double enjoyment of the mind and senses.
You know.
At Yang Zhongming’s level, there are fewer and fewer kinds of music that he can enjoy wholeheartedly.
Having said that.
For everyone in the Golden Hall today, this concert was a supreme enjoyment.
An unprecedented musical feast!
…
After performing "Butterfly Lovers", Lin Yuan started:
"Time is almost up. There is one more performance left today. Please enjoy it."
The last show was a saxophone performance.
The performer of the song is Lin Yuan himself.
Obviously.
Lin Yuan’s saxophone skills are not the best, at least not as superb as his piano skills, but overall, they have reached the standard for stage performances.
Especially this piece of music.
His performance itself has special meaning.
Because the song played by the saxophone is called "Going Home"!
The title of the song was not important. Zheng Jing's expression was inevitably a little strange when she saw the instrument of the song appear on the screen.
"Could it be that Xiao Yu'er did this on purpose?"
The last two pieces of today's concert are a violin concerto and a saxophone piece.
The former is one of Yang Zhongming's best areas.
The latter is one of Abigail’s strongest areas.
Xianyu seemed to be using these two classic works to tell everyone that he also "knows a thing or two" about these.
"It was not intentional, but it was deliberate."
Abigail raised an eyebrow, then quietly listened to the last song of the day.
…
On Earth.
When people mention saxophone, they will think of "Going Home".
When people mention "Going Home", they will also think of the saxophone.
In fact.
It is the beautiful melody of this song that is known throughout the world, and the saxophone, a relatively niche instrument, has won the favor of countless music lovers.
Worth mentioning:
This song is also used on Shanghai buses and subways to remind passengers to get off when they enter the terminal, and has been included in the People's Education Press music textbooks.
now.
This divine saxophone song of the earth was played on the stage of the Golden Hall.
The melodious and clear saxophone creates a vague and lingering artistic conception.
The pure and melodious clear sound effect, combined with the lyrical high notes, made the layering clear and instantly infected countless people.
The sound quality is soft and not harsh, with a mellow and penetrating power.
It seems as if this piece of music was born for the saxophone. The texture of this instrument is dazzling, full of copper flavor, and the lingering sound effects are displayed without reservation!
It's a sense of reality.
Beautiful, elegant, and without any pretense!
Especially the sounds of heavy metals such as the shabab and golden hammer, which are delicate and hard, extending into the distance, giving people infinite beautiful imagination and yearning.
Listening carefully, it seems like there is a taste of home.
But when the song ended, the audience applauded as before, and no one moved, even though Xianyu stood on the stage, bowed to everyone, and announced the end of today's concert...
"How about it?"
Zheng Jing looked at Abigail.
Abigail smiled bitterly: "Did Xianyu give me the Blue Music Concert before? If he had played this piece at that time, the champion of the saxophone event would have belonged to you Qinzhou."
Zheng Jing: “…”
Without dwelling on this matter too much, perhaps Xianyu had not yet written this piece of music at that time, Abigail could not help but sigh as she recalled the works that appeared in this concert: "After listening to "Going Home", my first feeling was that I didn't want to go home. I really wanted to continue listening to it and see how many more surprising works he could come up with."
It’s not just Abigail.
After listening to "Go Home", almost everyone at the scene didn't want to go home.
