/kloc-At the end of 0/9th century, Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Nutcracker raised ballet music to the height of symphonic music. In his dance drama, music is an important part closely related to the content of the work and the stage action. Tchaikovsky improved the expressive force of ballet music, and deepened the drama of his works through the development of symphony and characterization. In Swan Lake, he expressed poetic mood with romantic and lyrical brushstrokes, and portrayed the hero's beautiful and pure character and faithful love. It also depicts the contradictions and conflicts of hostile forces with majestic dramatic power. So Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is still a model of ballet music. Swan Lake, based on fairy tales, describes the love between Princess Aogueta and Prince Siegfried. They are turned into swans by the demon Lott Bart, and finally the power of love overcomes magic, and Aogueta is restored to human beings.
The play is divided into four acts, including 29 divertimentos. The second act describes the meeting and love between Siegfried and Aogueta in Swan Lake, which consists of five parts. The basic theme of the first divertimento is the swan theme, which runs through the whole play and plays a leading motive role. The sad and moving melody is blown out by the oboe accompanied by the harp, and then turned into the horn; Finally, the two octaves separated by woodwind instruments and stringed instruments beat together and gradually disappeared. When the band played this suite, it was a wide night on the stage. A flock of swans are floating on the lake, and the leader is wearing a corolla.
The second suite is a dance scene. The first piece of music is played by stringed instruments, and the prince and his friend Beno appear in hunting clothes. When the strong band ensemble and sharp woodwind melody appeared alternately, the prince saw the swan and wanted to raise his bow to shoot. The swan quickly hid. The swan princess cat hopped and landed on the slope behind the stage. The so-called cat jump is the action of curling legs and jumping sideways. Followed by a love dance. The so-called plot dance is a ballet scene that uses dance and mime to express feelings and dramatic plots. The oboe played a lyrical tune, and Princess Swan asked the prince why he shot her. Then, the music became Allegro, and Princess Swan confided to the prince that she was a princess and her name was Aogueta. She and her companions were enchanted by the evil magician Lott Bartesch. Lott Bart turned into a swan during the day, and only returned to human form at night. Lott Bart disguised himself as an owl. Keep an eye on them. This piece of music is ojetta's monologue. When Princess Swan told the prince about her life, Lott Bart appeared in front of them with the strong harmony of the whole band and wind instruments, threatening the prince. The prince raised his bow to shoot, but the swan princess stopped him. She comforted the panicked prince and confided her love to him. The second divertimento didn't end, followed by the third divertimento.
The third paragraph is another dance scene. The procession of swans appeared on the stage, and Aogueta's companions appeared. They found the prince and gathered to protect ojeta. Aogueta told them, "He is kind, so go." Accompanied by Aogueta's dance movements, it is a solo of oboe. The prince threw away his bow, declared his love to ogita, and told her that he wanted to kill Lotbart and set her free. The princess told him sadly that it was impossible unless someone who was ready to die for her swore to love her forever. Lotbal will be destroyed in order to break witchcraft. The prince gladly swore an oath and invited Aogueta to the dance the next night, when he would choose her as his bride. But she said she couldn't get rid of witchcraft until midnight to go to the dance, and then the dance was over. She also warned the prince that Lotbart would break his oath with tricks. Aogueta made her companions dance to please the prince. At this time, the oboe theme I just heard changed to flute solo. This slow dance was performed by Aogueta with the support of the vault of the prince and his companions.
The next suite is Swan Dance, which consists of six dances and a Rondo. The first swan dance was copied twice, and the whole suite formed the structure of A-B-A-C-D-A, and finally it was a lively ending. Swan dance is a waltz performed by all dancers. The music is fresh, cheerful and smooth, written in three stages with a single theme. The second song of Swan Dance is Odetta's solo dance. Violin and flute played melodious melodies successively. In the second stage, the speed turned faster and reached a climax soon. The whole song is written in two stages. The third song of Swan Dance is a slightly shortened swan dance, which is the reappearance of the first song.
The fourth song is a dance by four little swans. The music is light and lively, and the four cygnets dance in unison, including "stamping" and "walking lightly". The so-called "kicking" means that after jumping, your feet hit each other several times. The so-called "light walking" means that the front heel touches the rear toe. These movements and the rotation of the head vividly show the image of Little Swan. The fifth swan dance is the story dance of Aogueta and the prince. This is three lyric scenes, and the introduction at the beginning is the colorful movement of the harp; The first paragraph is a violin solo accompanied by a harp; In the middle section, the woodwind instruments alternate with quick sentences, and the theme melody is unfolded with the accompaniment of stringed instruments. The reproduction part is echoed by cello solo and violin solo, and combined into a duet. The music of this duet was written in duet. It turned out to be a love duet in Tchaikovsky's early opera Water God, and the composer borrowed Swan Lake. The sixth song of Swan Dance is the whole dance. Music is the second reappearance of waltz, and then it is cheerful.
At the end of the activity, Aogueta, with the support of her partners, made beautiful dances such as spinning on one toe and spreading her wings in the wind, which put an end to the colorful swan dance.
The swan dance stopped, because it was almost time for Aogueta and her companions to become swans, and the evil Lotbart appeared again. The final music of the second act reproduces the swan theme of the oboe solo at the beginning of the second act. The prince said goodbye to dear ojetta. Under the threat of Lott Bart, Ogetta slowly left the prince's arms. At dawn, a flock of swans flew quietly over the lake.
Swan theme is not only the theme at the beginning and end of the second act, but also the basic theme of the whole ballet; The last music of the first act, the second act and the fourth act is based on this theme. Tchaikovsky's theme deformation technique. Use music to reveal the development of drama plot and the theme of justice defeating evil. In the first and second acts, the swan theme is a sad little theme, which describes the tragic fate of Aogueta and his companions. In the final music of the fourth act, this tragic theme first changed its speed and became agitated; Then it changed from four beats to two broad beats, which were played by the band and became solemn carols; Finally it changed from minor to major. Slow down. Become a magnificent triumph, show loyal love, defeat evil forces and win. This basic theme runs through the development and is closely related to his symphony and opera music.
Appreciation of sparrow spirit
In the morning, a white peacock came. It sometimes combs its wings lightly, sometimes dances with the wind, sometimes strolls by the stream, sometimes lowers its head to drink water, sometimes stands, sometimes flies, and a hymn of life flows at that moment. This Dai woman's solo dance broke through the traditional image imitation, but grasped its charm, showing not only a holy, elegant and beautiful peacock, but also a flying elf full of life and mystery.
Since the first performance of this work 1986, viewers are all intoxicated with it, and every time they look at it, they will be moved by the profound poetry conveyed by the work. Yang li Ping takes the Dai folk dance as the basic material, starting from the basic image of "peacock", but transcends the imitation of external forms, seeking God by form, which not only makes the image of peacock vividly displayed in the audience's field of vision, but also shapes a noble life image like an elf. In the arrangement of movements, the artistic expression ability of the dance itself is fully exerted, and a detached and agile artistic image is created through the magical rhythm of fingers, wrists, arms, chest, waist and buttocks. In particular, the choreographer used slender, flexible arms and flexible fingers to change the shape, vividly showing the static and subtle dynamics of peacock holding its neck and head. It is also in this subtle dynamic that the stars of life twinkle and dance and converge into a river of life, which is fascinating; Show the vitality of life and the spirit of rising in the dynamic of holding your head high. Yang li Ping did not simply copy the stylized and patterned movements of Dai dance, but grasped the inherent rhythm and aesthetics of Dai dance, boldly innovated according to the needs of emotion and dance image, absorbed the advantages of modern dance, gave full play to the initiative of the body, and created a new dance vocabulary that was flexible, contemporary and more in line with the aesthetic needs of contemporary people. Compared with the peacock images created by Mao Xiang and Dao Meilan, Yang li Ping's peacock image creation is a great leap in art.
Another attractive aspect of this work is the strong sense of life shown in the work, whether it is the action itself or the dancer Yang li Ping himself. Yang li Ping once said, "Dancing is the need of my life". She is dancing with her heart. Dance is the expression of her life. She uses her body to express her feelings, thoughts and pursuits about life. The "spirit" of Sparrow is actually Yang li Ping's understanding and feeling of life. It is also a dance of her body and mind.
The quiet and indifferent dance realm makes her dance long. Yang li Ping was completely absorbed in the dancing peacock, and got carried away, as if she had become an elf, exuding a vibrant and gorgeous life. This work is also an inspiration to the development of theater folk dance. How to get rid of the affectation of external emotional expression and truly embody the "soul" of folk dance? In this sense, The Sparrow Spirit also gives the dancers some thoughts. Over the years, the reason why the "sparrow spirit"
It is because of her deep exploration of the spirituality of human life that she has played for a long time and is widely known on the stage.
The sparrow's spirit is like a blue dream, an infinitely pure world. In that mysterious situation, the river of life is flowing, washing and purifying our hearts.
With its strong artistic charm, this work won two first prizes in choreography and performance and the third prize in music in the Second National Dance Competition in 1986, and has performed in Thailand, Singapore, the United States and other places for many times, and won the classic work award of 1994 "20th Century China Dance Classic Appraisal".
