As far as singing is concerned, Liu Huan's singing is the founder of the early mainstream pop music in China, and the significance of the times is greater than the progress of personal skills. Liu Huan combined certain aesthetic cognition of western opera and classical music, and paid attention to popular emotional expression in singing, instead of imitating Europe and America. This fundamental aesthetic difference makes Liu Huan have great personal emotional tension in singing. This is consistent with the personality and emotional publicity of pop music as the core of charm.
The essential difference of this expression later contributed to the establishment of pop music, that is, the essential pop music recognized by the state. In essence, the growth of China pop music has an inseparable causal relationship with Liu Huan's phenomenal national music such as "Good Han Song" and "From scratch", and a new music genre has been established, which began to develop after joining the university education. Therefore, Liu Huan's singing skills and personal skills are not the key. He still exists in China pop music, representing the purest and higher aesthetic cognition, which is more important.
From the perspective of music, Liu Huan has a very mature personal ability in composing, arranging and orchestration, and he prefers the academic and serious artistic aesthetic field. He is a music professor in university of international business and economics, China, who teaches the history of western music. But in fact, Liu Huan is not a music major. He relies on his interest in music to improve his personal knowledge and ability.
The following is a brief introduction to Liu Huan's music development, singing and composition:
1: Liu Huan's road to music: the ultimate form of lovers. Liu Huan is a wilderness road. He has never received any systematic music education and vocal music education, and he embarked on the road of music and music based on his personal preferences. Liu Huan was born in Tianjin, which has a high degree of traditional culture. Liu Huan studied crosstalk, Peking Opera and storytelling when he was a child. This kind of China classical pop music has created a good cultural atmosphere for Liu Huan. This has certain potential help for Liu Huan to sing "Good Chinese Songs" in the future.
In high school, Liu Huan felt the charm of world music for the first time. At that time, a friend who was going to apply for the Central Conservatory of Music played a Chopin's Butterfly Etude in front of Liu Huan. This etude is only one minute long and is essentially a manipulated etude. But for non-piano players, there is still a simple shock of showing off skills. But Liu Huan was deeply shocked after seeing it for the first time. The unknown charm of western music theory and music content made Liu Huan feel the impact of music charm for the first time. From here on, Liu Huan began to formally love pop music.
Academically, Liu Huan was admitted to the Institute of International Relations, which is one of the six small-scale key universities directly under the Ministry of Education of the State Council, focusing on foreign languages and international conflicts. Liu Huan studied French literature at the French Academy. Remember, Liu Huan studied literature, which contains rich humanistic education. In college, Liu Huan began to take the initiative to learn from someone who knew nothing about western music. At 1983, Liu Huan saw that many students had guitars, but they played very little. I borrowed a guitar during the summer vacation. After a summer vacation, no one in the class can play the guitar better than Liu Huan.
After learning guitar, Liu Huan began to have a basic understanding of western music theory, where he began to try to compose his own music, where Liu Huan began to play and sing guitar. 1983- 1985, Liu Huan studied many musical instruments, such as the piano. Shortly after graduation, Liu Huan won the first prize in the campus chorus competition. She wrote three English songs by herself. Liu Huan's talent for music, composition and vocal music began to show here.
Liu Huan worked as a teacher for one year from 65438 to 0985, and officially started his music career from 65438 to 0986. Because I studied in the Institute of International Relations, directly under the Ministry of Education, and at the same time became an instant hit in the song competition of the campus league. In the first year of graduation, Liu Huan was invited by CCTV to participate in the recording of the weekend literary evening entitled "Movie World", which was recorded by Liu Huan for the first time, singing the English and French songs "Country Rock" and "My Way", as well as the theme song of the movie "Forty-three Years in Tehran" and "Goose Death Squad". This virgin laid the foundation for Liu Huan's musical career.
Liu Huan recorded the theme song for the first time. In the same year, she was discovered by Lei Lei, the composer of Plainclothes Police. It is worth mentioning that Lei Lei, the daughter of Lei Zhenbang, a great composer in China, participated in the direct creation of Four Generations under One roof. Then Liu Huan's first phenomenal music appeared-the theme song "Young People's Ambition Don't Worry" of "Plainclothes Policeman".
Liu Huan's interpretation of this song expresses the charm of pop music, and also fits the story script perfectly. The theme song of this TV series has not caused a wide range of phenomenal spread. The singer is Yang Hongji, who is more qualified than Liu Huan, that is, an old singer who sings "Rolling the Yangtze River and Crossing Water East". Liu Huan's pop singing greatly promoted the status of China pop singers on the TV screen.
The following year, Liu Huan saved some money and began to release a solo album. 1987, Li Haiying wrote lyrics and composed music for the urban TV series The Curved Moon, but no one tried to sing it satisfactorily. Liu Huan appeared, and won at one fell swoop. Become the second phenomenal music again.
Apart from Liu Huan's own excellence, the biggest core of Liu Huan's success is that Liu Huan can insert a word in the arrangement of music. Other singers are just singers, and Liu Huan has a certain ability to arrange music. He has a better understanding of composition than other singers, and then he can make up for the increased tension by making arrangement suggestions when singing.
You know, during the period of 1986, there was actually no concept of arrangement in our TV drama music. Up to now, there are only three personal information in Unfulfilled Young Men: composer, lyricist and singer. In fact, one of the reasons why we feel good when listening to Young People's Ambition Don't Worry is that we have the perfect climax of electric guitar. My personal guess is that there must be Liu Huan's participation and suggestions in this arrangement.
Therefore, in essence, Liu Huan is full of curiosity about music. He is willing to study and research, which is essentially different from a commercial singer. This is the core of his greatest achievement.
2: singing; Hard power is not T 1, but it contributes a lot; In vocal music singing, Liu Huan tends to the era singing method of the last century and some opera directions. Different from other China singers' academic school's bel canto and national positioning, Liu Huan belongs to the type of opera positioning. In the sense of strong real voice, it has a certain pressure on the throat, like bel canto, but it retains the variability of popular vocal music in the overall tone. It is not a fixed timbre like bel canto and nationality.
Therefore, in essence, the representative of Liu Huan's singing style is a transitional stage of China pop music, and it is also the core stage of China pop music-true voice aesthetics. The aesthetic core of pop music is the participation of real voice, which is the foothold of Liu Huan's singing. Liu Huan doesn't want any other pop singer's falsetto, whether it's bass or treble. This aesthetic cognition has continued to the aesthetics of CCTV Youth Song Competition.
In terms of timbre, Liu Huan's timbre skills are: gradually strengthening the thyroarytenoid muscle, strong mixing and balanced mixing. Generally speaking, it has not changed much, and it still has a wide popularity. Lack of commercial vocal cords marginalization and falsetto and weak aesthetics.
On the range, the peak range of Liu Huan is C5, but due to the high throat position, the pitch of the limit standard is around A#4 and B4. But there is still a position with a high throat.
In terms of vocal ability, Liu Huan is excellent, with a high throat position, which is also the source of Liu Huan's ability to maintain a high singing level when he is old.
Generally speaking, Liu Huan's singing skills are not top-notch in a strict sense, because to tell the truth, Liu Huan came into contact with music at 1983. His greatest talent for music lies in the aesthetics of composition and vocal music, not the technicality of vocal music.
Vocal music, his progress is really difficult, because it is basically dominated by Europe and America. With the existence of Liu Huan, he added another genre-classical horn-sounding good Chinese songs. In "Good Han Song", Liu Huan sang a lot of dialect chanting. In the standard vocal theory, this should not exist. Because the essence of shouting is to speak with words, not to sing. To put it simply, China's classical rap constitutes the core soul of Haohan songs. This is of epoch-making significance to the theoretical construction of China's vocal music, because we have our own vocal music content from Liu Huan, which can lead to endless exploration directions.
3. creation; The most perfect artist; From the creative point of view, Liu Huan belongs to the top level in China, and even exists as a representative of the mainland. Liu Huan is one of the few people who have the ability to recognize and express artistic vocal music. His creation is not limited to step by step, but can promote the construction of China vocal music, which is perfect for the overall development.
From young ambition to curved moon, to good Han Song, to start all over again, and now to Feng Huang Yu Fei. Liu Huan's music is full of culture, connotation and breakthrough. Among them, the biggest breakthrough lies in singing Han Song's vocal music and Feng Huang Yu Fei's composition. The core breakthrough has been expressed in the song. Tell me about Feng Huang Yu Fei.
Feng Huang Yu Fei is the best China music in China. Jay Chou's Chinese style is the result of modern routine chords, while Liu Huan's Chinese style is the result of seriousness and China's composition. In other words, Liu Huan's "Feng Huang Yu Fei" is very close to ancient music, and it has the possibility of becoming the flag of Chinese style music in the future.
Cutting "Feng Huang Yu Fei" separately is a standard basic composition of China's pentatonic scale, but from the overall melody understanding, we will find that this song uses a large number of western classical parallel modes, which is extremely scarce in the current music composition field. From the perspective of composition, "Feng Huang Yu Fei" will become a Chinese-style college textbook template in the future.
As for Liu Huan's identity, we can know one fact: he is the only top singer in China College, and he does not participate in commercial albums, but only composes for national key films and television. He will only appear when the country needs him.
Liu Huan once held concerts with Liao Changyong and Mo Hualun, but Liu Huan's voice was not heard in the chorus. I have to say that there is a big gap between pop musicians and professional bel canto masters. Jay Chou will undoubtedly be beaten, but it will not hinder Jay Chou's position in the Chinese music scene. Therefore, it's hard to say the status of the popular big coffee, and they need market evaluation. There is no doubt that singing can't beat professional bel canto
No one can be enemies in Song Dynasty, so-called Zhuge.
Huan, few works can really touch people's hearts.
