Music appeal is a powerful and primitive force, which can directly affect people's mood, just like a sad song can make people feel sad involuntarily, while a happy song can make people dance to the beat. For example, a friend who never likes listening to music once said that this song was used to describe "happiness" after hearing "Good News from Beijing to Bianzhai". Although he may not be able to express many emotions such as excitement, eagerness and cheerfulness in music, he can make a "music blind" feel "happy", which shows how magical the appeal of music is. The appeal of music is magical, but it is also abstract. We can only describe some of its external features in language, but we can't describe its actual concept. Applying a simple formula, we can roughly describe the appeal of music: attraction+influence = appeal. There are two prerequisites for releasing the magical power of musical appeal:
First, attraction. Show concern. It's easy. A fresh musical idea, strong rhythm or a gripping cadenza may attract people's attention. You just need to add something "special" when you conceive music, something that can attract people's attention. If a piece of music does not have the ability to attract attention (that is, it is not attractive), then the appeal of music is impossible.
Second, influence. Show the content of music and influence others' mood through music. Every piece of music has its own content. Some people say that music is a kind of talk. If you want others to understand your music, you should let them hear you talk about it. It's like you're listening to a person, but what you're listening to is not what he says, but what he wants to express. So is music. What people want to listen to is not the music itself, but the content that music wants to express. If people don't hear enough from your music to affect their mood, then your music is just a bunch of meaningless notes, not to mention the appeal of music.
Art is the transmission of thinking, and music is the art of hearing. Whether your music is infectious or not determines whether it will be accepted by more people, because most people always like infectious music. It can be said that the appeal of music affects the popularity of music to a certain extent, and the strong appeal of music can make more people like music.
(B) the role and significance of musical appeal
In modern life, people can get in touch with music anytime and anywhere. When you are walking down the street, a familiar song may be playing in the shop around you; When you pass by a restaurant, you may hear your companions' dedicated and enthusiastic explanations; When you meet a group of soldiers, you may also hear neat and loud military songs. In this information-developed era, the popularity of music, or the proliferation of music, gives us more choices, but it also brings us some confusion. Many choices make it more difficult for us to distinguish good music from bad music.
From a certain point of view, infectious music can be called music art, and it can be said that musical appeal is the concrete embodiment of music art. Strong musical appeal can directly affect the mood of the audience and arouse resonance in the hearts of the audience, so as to convey ideas more appropriately and form a complete music art form.
In order to further understand the role of appeal in music art, we must first analyze the complete form of music art, which can be simply divided into three steps: 1. Musicians create works. Musicians will record what they see, hear or think, and complete their works through processing; 2. The musician's interpretation of the work can be compared to the second creation. He interprets the work through his own understanding and highlights the connotation of the work; 3. When the audience appreciates the work, they are immersed in the artistic conception of the work and understand the rich emotions displayed by the work. From what has been discussed above, we can easily find that in music art, works are only carriers of thinking, and if the "carrier" has strong appeal, it will be easily accepted by others. It can be seen that the role of musical appeal is very important, which can make the works created by musicians more acceptable to people.
The significance of music appeal is that it can measure art from a specific angle. If your work has musical appeal, it can be called art; If your work has no appeal of music, it can only be called music, not art. If you consciously use the appeal of music, your music will be more powerful. Among many musical arts, religious music has brought the appeal of music to the extreme. Catholic music with solemnity, praise, glory and gratitude as the main theme, Buddhist music with silence, emptiness, happiness and seeing as the main theme, and Taoist music with harmony, inaction, continuity and harmony as the main rhyme are all permeated with their own religious characteristics, which makes their music more attractive.
