Introduction to Liu's Nine-hole Cockroach;
"Hu" is an important wind instrument that has been recognized for a long time in ancient China. Over the years, Mr. Zhengguo Liu has devoted himself to the theoretical research of China Guhu and the development of musical instruments, which not only proved the true face of "oblique blowing" in theory, but also created a novel "nine-hole Hu" from the development of musical instruments. It has been appraised by many media at home and abroad as "breaking the eternal mystery of the flute", "opening up the performing art of contemporary guzheng" (Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao) and "rekindling the ancient guzheng and regaining its glory" (Taiwan Province Provincial Music Newspaper).
On June 5438+065438+1October 2/kloc-0, 2009, the first concert of Zhengguo Liu Jiukongyu was held in the Dutch Pavilion Concert Hall. Professor Lu Chunling, the first generation master of bamboo flute in China, served as artistic consultant, and invited Mr. Lin Guzhen from Qinyuan National Orchestra of Taiwan Province Province as conductor, and Mr. Dai Luqing, music director and chief conductor of Shanghai Conservatory of Music as conductor. Zhou, Chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Chief Flute Performer and Shi Bolin, Honorary President of Chinese Opera Music Society, wrote inscriptions for the concert respectively. The whole concert was accompanied by the Folk Orchestra of Shanghai Normal University Conservatory of Music, and the special band was accompanied by the China National Orchestra of Shanghai Jiangnan Silk and Bamboo Association. This concert is also the first performance of the Folk Music Orchestra of Shanghai Normal University in He Luting Concert Hall, and their performance has been affirmed and praised by experts.
The repertoire of the concert is as follows:
Busy cuckoo:
This song is Zhengguo Liu's flute debut, and its first draft was written in 1975. Originally named "Busy Cutting Wheat and Inserting Rice", also known as "Busy Spring Sowing", the creative inspiration comes from the author's farming experience of jumping in line to settle down. Music is based on the tone of folk songs calling for color, and skillfully embeds the singing tone of the bird (cuckoo) named "cutting wheat and inserting rice" into the melody, which is short and lively and full of local flavor.
Pastoral regression:
The music is based on the folk song Niu Ge in southern Anhui, and the music is based on the poem Village Night by Lei Zhen in the Tang Dynasty. Play with a seven-hole bangdi at will and draw a picture of "the grass is full of water and the mountains are full of sunset;" The shepherd boy went back to ride the cow's back, and the piccolo played without a cavity. " Small photos of the mountain village.
Mati dog
The music was adapted by Mr. Liu Sen according to the music of "Moody" by Liu Chi. Music shows the carefree mood of shepherds grazing on the hillside and praises the good life. Created in the late 1950s, it is still widely circulated and deeply loved by the audience. The composition of this song is mainly to change the timbre of the middle adagio, and play "5" with the additional side hole of the "seven-hole flute" (that is, the barrel sound of the six-hole flute) and turn it into the dominant tone. In the connection between adagio and Allegro before and after the music, two additional phrases are used to make the transition, which is natural and fresh, making the whole music obtain tonal color contrast that could not be obtained by the previous six-hole flute performance.
Two-tone cowherd:
"Little Cowherd" is a traditional song and dance drama widely circulated among the people. It describes a warm scene in which an aunt in a village asks a shepherd boy for directions, and the two of them are singing and dancing. The song and dance music and duet Rondo in the play were deeply loved by the people, and were later adapted into long flute solos, mainly with two different versions of Lu Chunling from the South School and Liu Sen from the North School.
This song is based on Uighur folk songs and creatively adapted into Lu Chunling's version of Little Cowherd. The music further highlights the charm of bamboo silk in the south of the Yangtze River. The original "two-tone" blowing method is used to blow through the adagio, the second modulation is used in the Allegro part of the music, and the extremely rare drum sounds such as "4" and "Fanzidiao" are played by fingering, and then the subordinate keys are turned, and the drum sounds such as "1" gradually reach a climax. The arrangement of "Two-tone Little Cowherd" has made a considerable breakthrough in the structure and tonal layout of the traditional "Little Cowherd". In addition, the unique technique of "playing two tones" and the application of the newly created "seven-hole flute" make the music more unique and radiant.
"Two-tone playing" is a special playing technique in bamboo flute playing. It vibrates the flute membrane through two different sound sources, namely "Qi" and "Throat", thus obtaining the unique playing effect of "double tone" and even "polyphony". This technique was first used by Mr. Zhengguo Liu in Loneliness, a finalist of the 6th National Music Awards, and was introduced to flute circles in Taiwan Province Province and China in different forms. Shuangsheng Cowherd is the representative work of Liu's "Playing Shuangsheng".
Boating in Chaohu Lake:
This is a lyric flute, expressing feelings for mountains and rivers, with natural interest. The whole song * * * is divided into three paragraphs, which is a solo with introduction and reproducibility, and has three typical "ABBA" structural characteristics.
Loose plate structure with "introduction" freedom. With smooth and trembling fingers and free arpeggios, the flute shows a magnificent and beautiful picture of Chaohu Lake with overlapping mountains and shadows.
The first paragraph is "Andante like a song", which is the presentation part of lyric theme. Under the background of the rhythmic syncopation of the accompaniment band, the flute sang a lyrical tune, expressing people's intoxication of the natural beauty of Chaohu Lake and the pleasure of boating on the lake.
The second paragraph "Allegro" is in the middle of the comparison. In the cheerful drum accompaniment, the flute, with its brisk voicing, smooth vibrato and continuous arpeggio, makes the music gradually reach a climax, showing the busy scene of Qian Fan's unexpected and victorious victory and the warm scene of drum racing.
The third paragraph "Andante like a song" is the reappearance of lyric theme. This is in the quiet after the passion, the flute once again sang the lyric theme, further expressing people's singing of real life and yearning for a better future.
This song is Mr. Zhengguo Liu's masterpiece, which was written in the late 1970s. First broadcast by Anhui People's Broadcasting Station 1980, broadcast by six provinces and one city in East China. 1982 The author won the first outstanding performance award and creation award of "Spring for College Students" in Anhui Province. 1996 This song has been included in the Collection of Famous Songs of China Bamboo Flute (Shanghai Music Publishing House). In the early days, Zhengguo Liu's performance version of 1983 (existing in Anhui People's Broadcasting Station) was compiled into the textbook Music Appreciation for primary and secondary schools in Anhui and Jiangsu. Since 1990s, Zhan Yongming's playing version (published by China Record Shanghai Company and Guo Lun Enterprise Company of Taiwan Province Province) has been widely circulated at home and abroad.
"Flower Sanqi":
Music is based on the characteristic tune "Sanqi Opera" of Anhui local opera "Lu Opera", and its creation adopts the method of continuous development and change, which not only retains the unique charm of the original opera tune, but also incorporates the characteristics suitable for playing bamboo flute, which just shows the simple and unrestrained character and optimistic mood of the people in Jianghuai area, and has a typical musical style and opera charm in central and southern Anhui.
good night
This song is Mr. Liu Tianhua's famous erhu music, which was adapted as "The Flute with Seven Holes". In playing, it not only retains the tension and style of the strings (such as the sliding of the "5" sound, etc. ), also fully demonstrated the wide range and unique expressive force of the "seven-hole flute". Music has a silky expression, a quiet and sad desire and an excited and energetic struggle. The whole music is strong and weak, high and low, ups and downs, and the range reaches more than three octaves, which greatly expands the style, range and expressive force of the original music.
New happy songs:
Ode to Joy is one of the eight famous songs of silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River. Its melody is euphemistic and smooth, its style is fresh and beautiful, and its mood is cheerful and warm. It is often played at holiday parties. The adaptation of this song, based on the wide range of the "seven-hole flute", has been expanded in three places: first, a gentle and deep performance has been added to the middle board to make it more elegant; Second, the Allegro part has a low octave, fast and beautiful repetitive performance, which increases the contrast of sound areas; Thirdly, the ending sentence at the end of the song extends a pentatonic scale, which makes the ending of the song feel like a different peak and highlights the tension of the whole music.
Wu Ge:
Based on the music of Zhejiang Wu Opera, the music depicts the spring scenery on both sides of the Wujiang River and expresses the beauty and happiness of people's lives. In terms of playing skills, the circulation ventilation and the continuous and rapid trembling fingers are skillfully combined, which shows the scene of rolling rivers and happy people more richly.
The popular version of the song is played by Mr. Zhan Yongming on the flute (one song and one bang), which is a classic. This song is based on Zhan's version of playing the flute, and only on a "seven-hole flute", it deduces the range and range effect of playing the flute, sometimes it is low and smooth, sometimes it is high and passionate, and it has a special taste.
Song of Jiangnan
Music is based on the music of silk and bamboo in Jiangnan, and vividly depicts the charming scenery of Jiangnan with fresh, elegant, cheerful and smooth melody. The original song was written in 198 1, which is the posthumous work of Huang Xilin, a famous flute player and educator in Anhui. The adaptation of this song, according to the characteristics of the "seven-hole flute", has made a great breakthrough in the tonality of the original song, changing the color of the palace tune into a feather tune, which not only loses the characteristics of the silk and bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River, but also incorporates the charm of the southern Kunqu opera and has the meaning of "singing". This song is similar to the famous flute Gusu Star, and it is also suitable for playing in the form of a lead ensemble.
Tiny bridge,flowing brook,hamlet homes
This song is adapted from the flute work "New Songs of Water Town" by the famous composer Mr. Gu. There is a "prologue" before music and a "epilogue" after music. The main body is divided into three parts:
1. Adagio of "Bridge over the South of the Yangtze River" outlines the picturesque scenery of the south of the Yangtze River with overlapping bridges and gurgling streams, and with extremely beautiful and lyrical folk songs.
The second is The Happy Family, a medium-sized novel, which repeats and changes the tonality of subordinate relationship with a relaxed and lively phrase, showing the simple image and happy mood of farmers in the south of the Yangtze River.
Three, "Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water", Allegro, with a long period of hearty and flowing circulation, gradually pushes the music to a climax, and at the end reproduces the theme phrase with excitement, and finally ends the whole song in a quiet and distant high-pitched area.
This song, with a typical charm of Jiangnan silk and bamboo, fully shows the unique charm and tension of the "seven-hole flute", and the range of the whole song reaches three octaves plus three degrees, which is impossible for the traditional six-hole flute. The adaptation of this song was recognized by Mr. Gu, and he personally arranged the instrument.
