Music types of rap art

Generally speaking, rap music can be divided into four types: plate variation, music combination, single and main melody.

Based on the structure of the above sentence and the next sentence, the vocal structure is organized by plate variation. On the basis that the key notes and falling notes are basically unchanged, the melody changes with different occasions, moods and lyrics, and the rhythm also changes, such as Sanban, 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 1/4 and so on. This structure can show more complicated and tortuous storylines and emotional changes.

Qupai combination is composed of many different vocals. Choose different tunes to sing together according to the needs of the content and plot of the work. Among many tunes, there is often one or several dominant tunes, which are the main theme of the genre at the beginning or end of the aria, and several other tunes are cascaded in the middle. Most of these tunes were originally folk songs from all over the world. After being absorbed into rap music, they were endowed with a rap style by guests and became a special tune in this genre. Except for the different tunes, each qupai has its own differences in rhythm, structure and style.

An aria with a single melody consists of constantly changing basic tunes. Most of these tunes come from folk songs, which have little change compared with folk songs, and are only suitable for singing short paragraphs describing scenery and expressing feelings.

The main beat is based on plate variations, and other accents are added. For example, Huang Er tune and Xipi tune of Peking Opera are added to Jingyun Drum, Danxian tune is added to Meihua Drum, and Sunan folk songs and Kunqu tune are added to Suzhou Tanci, forming a singing structure of "main melody interlude". Because the selection of beat songs is based on the needs of aria content, it enhances the expressive force of music.

Rap music is known as "Southern Ci and Northern Drum". "Nanci" refers to tanci in the south, and "Gu Bei" refers to the big drum in the north. Both of them are developed from "thorns" and are the most representative genres. Tanci has been developed in Jiangnan for a long time, and its art is becoming more and more mature. There are many famous singers, which have a great influence on rap music in the south. Because of the close pronunciation, drum words mainly spread in the north, developed quite prosperously, and formed dozens of genres, becoming the most representative genre in northern rap music. Among dozens of schools of "Southern Ci and Northern Drum", Suzhou Tanci in the south of the Yangtze River and Jingyun Drum in the north are the most mature and rich representatives of artistic development.

Suzhou Tanci originated in Suzhou in the middle of Ming Dynasty. In the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, famous kings appeared, and since Jiaqing and Daoguang, famous artists such as Chen Yugan and Yu Xiushan appeared, forming three schools. Wang is a representative figure of the rise of Suzhou Tanci. He is famous for his rap (Biography of Youlong) and (Biography of White Snake). He won the support of his peers for performing for Emperor Qianlong, and advocated the establishment of a peer organization "Guangyu Society" in Suzhou. He is also quite accomplished in artistic theory, and his works Shupin and Ji Shu have great influence on the development of tanci art in later generations. Among the last three schools, Chen Diao is vigorous and powerful, which is suitable for expressing tragic and generous feelings; Because the melody is slow, tortuous, intense, smooth and euphemistic, there is a saying of "three turns and nine turns"; Horse is free from vulgarity, plain, full of charm and powerful intonation, especially in narrative.

On the basis of these three schools, Suzhou Tanci School continued to develop, and later famous schools such as Jiang (Yuequan tune) and Li (Xu Lishan tune) appeared.

Jingyun Drum is developed from the popular wooden drums in Cangzhou and Hejian, Hebei Province. It was formed in Tianjin and Beijing and spread in Hebei Province and North China. Three famous singers, Zhang and Zhang, appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, forming their own artistic schools. Zhang's singing Beijing dialect is pure and full of vitality; Bai Yunpeng's singing is soft and beautiful, and Park's family is natural; Liu Baoquan plays a more important role in Jingyun Drum, and is known as the "King of Drum Circle" and has become the most important art school in Jingyun Drum.

After 1930, two famous singers, Bai Fengming and Luo Yubi, appeared in Jingyun Drum Circle. Both of them practiced Liu Baoquan's singing in their early years. Later, according to their respective voice conditions and drawing lessons from the strengths of other schools, they created the "Bai Shao School" and the "Luo School", which are known as the desolate and tragic "Fan Qiangzi", with a wide range and strong lyrical color.
