Two Worshipments on the Caoqiao is one of the most exciting and moving aria in the colorful movement Loutaihui in the Yue Opera butterfly lovers. This is sung by the actress who plays Zhu Yingtai. The common versions are Fu (township) school, Qi (elegant) school and Yuan (credit) school.
The legend of "butterfly lovers" has a long history and has evolved into a love swan song that is well known to women and children in the south of the Yangtze River. In the Qing Dynasty, the play appeared in several written versions. Yue Opera is a kind of drama in the south of the Yangtze River based on folk songs and ballads in Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province. The specific birth time is 1906. 19 19 finally entered Shanghai, so it is also called "originated in Shengzhou, originated in Shanghai", and has rapidly grown into one of the largest local operas in China in its young life of more than one hundred years. Butterfly lovers has been sung and arranged in the development of Yue Opera, resulting in many versions with different perspectives and backgrounds. The early version (1930' s) was not polished by literati, and the lyrics contained many vulgar and ambiguous contents. In the 1940s, the "Ten Sisters of Yue Opera", represented by Yuan Xuefen and Yin Guifang, initiated the reform movement of Yue Opera, and made bold innovations in singing, script, performance and dance beauty, which laid the performance characteristics of today's Yue Opera. After artistic re-creation and polishing, the old play butterfly lovers produced an important work, The Mourning History of butterfly lovers. After People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, he made the film Liang Zhu (starring Yuan Xuefen and Fan Ruijuan).
Butterfly lovers, as a housekeeping drama that every Shaoxing opera actor should perform, has produced different versions of the genre, and the difference is mainly reflected in the singing. Everyone is familiar with the story of butterfly lovers, and Loudaihui is the climax of the whole story, the first time for the protagonist to communicate as a man and a woman, the outbreak after a long period of emotional repression, and the most intense and infectious part of the overall tragic atmosphere. Every aria of this compromise is regarded as a classic, which can last for a long time and make people cry.
Take the most frequently performed Fu Pai as an example. This melody is dominated by Adagio, followed by Brother Liang and Adagio. The content of the lyrics is that after telling Shan Bo himself that he betrothed his little sister to Ma Jia, he was so desperate that he couldn't help but recall the process of getting to know each other, almost repeating the whole plot, including the grass bridge, the earrings storm, eighteen gifts and lifelong support. The melody stretches gently and tactfully, with gradualism as the main factor, jumping as the supplement, and the melody is smooth, which is also a "ruler's tune". For example, the last four sentences of "I can remember" can be played back freely, and gradually slowed down from a little faster. It is a vivid memory of the interesting things on the way of "18-year farewell" between Yingtai and Taiwan, but it can only reflect the misery of being forced to break up. Not only the people in the play, but also the audience began to recall the plot on the stage. The process of getting to know each other is very happy and naive. This sharp contrast of "setting off sadness with music scenes" has achieved the effect of constantly highlighting the tragic atmosphere and tearing the audience's heart. In the last four sentences of "I used to be", Yingtai is immersed in the strong hope and yearning for happiness that she once had. The word "Xu Jiumei" focuses on the word "nine", and a small cavity shows that she woke up and returned to reality, pulling the atmosphere back to grief and indignation.
The following two sentences are truly lyrical, "I hope that lovers will eventually get married, but I can't expect a happy marriage to be separated." Every word is depressed, every word hits the heart, and steel is hidden in cotton. Finally, the word "every two" is close to crying, showing grief and pain. With ebony, here are six sentences, quick and accurate. Compared with just touching, they have become decisive. The reason why I broke up with the Liang brothers was due to my father's order. Finally, the words "dad's orders can't be violated" took a sharp turn and the voice became desperate. The adagio of the last three words is deeply grieved.
The accompaniment of this paragraph is also very appropriate. Hu Qin and Tan Ban cooperated closely, rendering the grief and indignation that seemed to cry for thousands of times, as well as the sound of pounding the audience's soul and the emotional impact on the soul.
Fu school is characterized by simplicity, freshness and gentleness, Yuan school is characterized by complex and small cavity, gorgeous and soft, and Qi school is characterized by strong charm, purity and purity. Butterfly lovers performed by other genres and actors also has its own characteristics.
This introduction is not very theoretical, mainly based on feelings, very embarrassing!
