What is the type of music that has the richest connotation in our traditional music?

Introduction to music In our daily lives, we often hear the word music, so what exactly is music? I will introduce it to you below. First, the basic content Music is an art that reflects the emotions of human real life (English name: music; French name: musique; Italian: musica). Music can be divided into two major types of vocal music and instrumental music, and can be divided into classical music, popular music, folk music, country music, original music and so on. Among the types of art, music is a more abstract art. Music can be categorized into Eastern and Western music in terms of its historical development. In the East, led by China, the ancient Chinese theory is based on the five-tone scale, i.e., Gong, Shang, Horn, Zheng, and Feather, while the West is based on the seven-tone scale. Music is pleasing to the eye and brings aural enjoyment to all. It can cultivate emotions. Second, the basic meaning of music is to organize the sound of auditory imagery, to express people's thoughts and feelings and social reality of life as an art form. It is also one of the most instantly moving art form. When the melody sounds, people are often irresistible and immediately in the atmosphere of the music. Any form of art has its own expression, shaping the artistic image of the form of expression. For example, dance is through body movements, facial expressions, painting is through the lines, colors, composition, literature is through the words, words, sentences, chapters to reflect the artistic image. Often, it is the means of expression that distinguishes the different kinds of art, such as different musical instruments. Music also shows the intentions of the musicians and the creators of the music. According to the Book of Music in the Book of Rites, it is written in detail? The sound of the beginning of the human heart, the human heart is also born, the human heart of the movement, things make it also, feel the movement of things, so the shape in the sound, the sound corresponds to, so the birth of the change. The sound corresponds to the sound, and thus the change occurs. This kind of introduction covers the link between the sound changes of music and the emotions of the human heart in a simple and clear way. If we further look up the ancient books to further investigate, we can have a more in-depth understanding of the meaning of the relevant music vocabulary that we usually hear. Sound: energy fluctuations in nature that are easily captured by the human ear. Tone: A continuous sound wave that has a stable and controllable rule of change. Music: Organized and selected sound waves that are pleasing to the ear. Tone: A collection of tones selected according to a rule. Rhythm: A more regular ordering of a collection of tones. Segment: the completion of a certain piece of music within a certain period of time Qu: the overall organization of all the above mentioned sounds, tones, and segments according to a whole. When these words are combined with each other, they form the words sound, music, musical tone, pitch, and musical key. (Vocal music, short for the use of the human voice as a musical instrument.) Vocal Art Music is an art form that uses sound as a means of expression, and the shaping of imagery is accomplished with organized sound as the material. Therefore, just as literature is the art of language, music is the art of sound. This is one of the basic characteristics of the art of music. As a means of expression of the art of music, sound has some characteristics different from other sounds in nature. The sounds that come out of any musical work are created through the composer's careful thinking. These sounds can be found in nature, but they cannot become music without the artists' ingenious creation and combination. So, whether it is a simple song or a grand symphony, it is permeated with the author's creative thinking and inspiration. Casually scribbled lines and colors are not paintings, arbitrarily piled-up words and phrases are not literature, and similarly, disorganized sounds are not music. The sound that constitutes musical imagery is an organized and regular harmony, including elements such as melody, rhythm, modulation, harmony, polyphony, and tunefulness, which are collectively known as the language of music. No sound can be turned into music without creative elements. Language has a conventional semantics; every sentence, even every word, has a specific meaning. This meaning in the use of the language is recognized within the scope of society, is a convention; music sound is completely different, it is only limited to the scope of art, only as an artistic interaction and exist; any music in the sound, it will never have as language as very certain meaning, they are non-semantic. 1. Auditory art Since music is the art of sound, it can only resort to people's hearing, so music is a kind of auditory art. Psychology's directional reflex and the principle of inquiry reflex tells us that, within a certain distance of various external stimuli, the sound can attract people's attention, which can force people's auditory organs to accept the sound, which determines the auditory art of the visual art can be more direct role in people's emotions, shocking people's minds. Music can only be expressed by sound and felt by hearing, but this is not the same as saying that when people create and appreciate music, only the part of the cerebral cortex corresponding to hearing is excited, while other parts are in a state of inhibition. In fact, musicians not only through the channel of hearing, but with the whole body and mind to feel and experience, recognize and express the life, which is no different from other categories of artists. The difference is that in the artistic conception and artistic expression, the musician is to put his personal multi-faceted feelings through the image of thinking cohesion into auditory imagery, and then expressed in the form of specific audio. Therefore, the thoughts and emotions expressed in a musical work are not purely auditory feelings, but overall feelings. Similarly, when people appreciate music, although it is mainly through the auditory channel and receives auditory stimulation, but due to the role of the flux, it may also cause visual imagery, produce rich and vivid associations and imagination, and then cause strong emotional response, experience the musician's ideological feelings and situations expressed in the work, to obtain a sense of beauty, and be moved by it. 2. Emotional art In all forms of art, music is the most skillful in expressing emotions, the most heart-stirring form of art, which conveys, expresses and feels aesthetic emotions with the help of the medium of sound. Music is superior to other art forms in conveying and expressing emotions because of the sensual materials and aesthetic forms it adopts. Sound is the most suitable for the nature of emotion, the most suitable for the expression of emotion. Or solemn, or passionate excitement, or grief and indignation, or lingering delicate, or as sobbing. Music can be more direct, more real, more profound expression of human emotions. So, why can music express human emotion with organized sound? One theory is that the expressiveness of music comes from the imitation of human language with expressive elements. Human language uses voice, tone, flow, rhythm, speed and other expressive means with semantics to express meaning, while music's timbre, pitch undulation, rhythmic speed and other expressive means can play the same role as language's expressive means. Personally, I believe that there is a similarity between the sound form of music and human emotion, with some kind of ? isomorphic relationship? which is the fundamental reason why music can express human emotions. Music theorist Yu Runyang once pointed out: ? The fundamental reason why the sound structure can express specific emotions lies in the fact that there exists an extremely important similarity between the two, that is, both of them are displayed and developed in time, with rich changes in speed, intensity, and color tone, and extremely dynamic process. This extremely important similarity is the bridge that enables communication between the two. For example? Joy? , it is the human happy, joyful emotional expression. Generally speaking, this kind of emotional movement presents a jumping, upward movement form, its hue is brighter, and the speed and frequency of movement is faster. Expression? Joy? The feelings of music, generally also take a similar dynamic structure, such as folk music "joyful", with faster speed, jumping and swinging tone and other means of expression of people's joyful feelings. 3. Time art Sculpture, painting and other art forms are frozen in space, so that people can see at a glance. We appreciate the art work, first see the art work as a whole, and then, only to taste its details. Music, on the other hand, unfolds and flows in time. We appreciate music, first from the details of the beginning, from the local start, until the whole song is played (sung), will leave us an overall impression. It is impossible to get a complete musical imagery by listening only to individual pieces of a musical work. Therefore, the art of music is also a time art. As the auditory art of musical imagery is unfolded in time, is with the continuation of time in the movement of the presentation, development, and end. The so-called? musical imagery? , refers to the imagery or mood of the artist's thoughts and feelings expressed in the entire musical work and evoked in the thoughts and feelings of the appreciator. For example, "Moonlit Night on the Spring River" uses sweet, peaceful and quiet tunes to express the feeling of canoeing on the picturesque spring river on a moonlit night in the south of the Yangtze River, creating a mesmerizing musical mood. Musical works are not like literature or paintings, as long as the author's creation is completed, the creative process is over, it can be directly for people to enjoy. Musical works must pass through the intermediate link of performance in order to convey the imagery expressed in the works to the appreciators and realize the aesthetic value of their art works. Therefore, music is also the art of performance, an art that needs to be further recreated by performance When the composer records the vivid musical ideas in the form of musical scores, he has already extracted its soul, and what remains is just a series of lifeless musical symbols. The way to bring a musical work back to life, to turn the score into living music with flesh and blood, is musical performance. Without musical performance, a musical work can only ever exist in the form of a musical score, without becoming real music. No matter which composer writes a score, there is a gap between it and their 'musical ideas.' To make this gap be bridged, to make the latent musical ideas in the score be explored, and to make what the score cannot record be enriched and supplemented, all of this depends on the re-creation of the music performer. Therefore, music is also the art of performance, musical works can only be accepted by the audience through the performance of this way. Vocal music Vocal works can be divided into songs, rap music, opera music, operas and other genres according to their forms and styles. Songs are a small music genre, including folk songs, art songs, popular songs and children's songs. In terms of form, it can be divided into solo, duet, chorus, unison, and joint singing. Rap music refers to the music of musical arts, including single-string, drum, Qingyin, Pingbang, counting, qinshu, two-people turn, Daoxiang, fisherman's drum, and so on. Opera music refers to the music of Peking Opera, Yu Opera, Yue Opera, Flower Drum Opera, Cai Cha Opera, Huangmei Opera, Ping Opera, Han Opera, and other local operas. Opera music is also a kind of opera music, but it does not have a fixed program and traditional singing voice like opera music. Opera music is dramatic music composed by composers using national tones and musical language rich in the colors of the times. 2. Instrumental music Instrumental music can be divided into solo pieces, repertoire pieces and ensemble pieces. There is a wide range of solo pieces. Almost all kinds of instruments have solo pieces. Chinese erhu, pipa, banhu, flute, xiao, hulusi, suona, yangqin, sheng, guqin, zheng, liuqin, xylophone and so on, there is no lack of famous solo pieces. Western instruments are also so, but the world-famous or violin, piano, guitar, electric piano and other instruments solo music for the most. Repertoire is less common in Chinese folklore. However, in Europe, there are many excellent works for string quartet and woodwind quintet, etc., which are still circulating all over the world. An ensemble is a group of instruments playing the same piece of music. In an ensemble piece, each instrument gives full play to its own performance and specialty, and coordinates with each other according to a certain harmonic law. In Chinese folk instrumental ensemble music, Jiangnan silk and bamboo and Guangdong music account for a large proportion. Folk orchestral music is mostly adapted or created by composers. Ethnic wind and percussion music also plays an important role in China's ensemble music. Music played with Western brass, woodwinds, strings and percussion is called orchestral music. Orchestral music in the seventeenth century in Europe has made remarkable progress, when the genre includes suites, overtures, fugues, fantasies, fantasies, rhapsodies, rhapsodies, concertos, as well as the more stringent requirements of the form of the symphony, symphonic poem. (A) According to the melodic style 1. Classical music "Classic" is derived from Latin, originally refers to the upper class of the Roman society, and later transferred to the performance of human beings with universal and eternal value. In foreign countries, this type of music is called "classical music", and "classical" has the meaning of "classical, orthodox," or "classical". classical, orthodox, classical literature? So our countrymen call it classical music. Classical music? So we Chinese call it classical music. Western classical music. First of all, from the conceptual explanation, ? Classical music is the name of a category of music. is the name of a category of music. However, even in foreign countries, there are many different interpretations of the specific meaning of the term "classical music", and the main disagreement comes from the interpretation of the term "classical music". The main objections come from the different concepts of the division of classical music into eras. (1) Taking the supra-period universality, eternal artistic value and the highest performance of musical art as the standard, the music that can be used as a model for contemporaries and descendants with permanent artistic value is collectively called "classical music". Classical music. According to this standard, classical music is also known as? serious music? or? art music to distinguish it from popular music. (2) This refers specifically to the period of the Classical School from about 1750 to 1820. The style of the Classical School was formed in the gradual disappearance of the music of the Baroque period, and dissolved in the gradual formation of the style of the Romantic School, experiencing the excess of Baroque music to the early Classical School. Among the many schools of music, the Viennese Classical School is represented by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. 2. Pop Music Pop music is translated from English popular music. According to the surface of Chinese words to understand, the so-called popular music, refers to those short structure, popular content, lively form, sincere emotion, and by the masses love, widely sung or appreciated, popular for a while and even handed down to future generations of instrumental music and songs. These music and songs are rooted in the rich soil of popular life. Therefore, they are also known as "popular music". Popular Music The term "popular music" is also used. However, such a definition may make music that does not belong to popular music, such as the Internationale, the March of the Volunteers, the Marseillaise, the Waves of Honghu Lake, Singing of the Motherland, the East is Red, and Nanniwan, etc., be categorized as popular music simply because they are also widely circulated among the masses. On the other hand, music that is clearly popular is excluded from popular music because it is not widely circulated (which is not uncommon in popular music). Obviously, popular music is not always popular, and popular music is not just popular music. The accurate concept of popular music should be commodity music, which is music created with the primary purpose of making a profit. It is the commercial musical pastime entertainment and all that goes with it? industrial? phenomenon. (See the 1990 edition of the Soviet Encyclopedic Dictionary of Music.) Its marketability is primary, and its artistry is secondary. 3. Folk music Broadly speaking, it refers to the music of the middle and late Romantic Romanticism, which is rich in national colors or promotes nationalism. Narrowly speaking, it refers to Chinese folk music. The so-called Chinese folk music is the music that reflects the national culture and spirit of the ethnic groups living and reproducing on the land of China from ancient times to the present day on the basis of a long history and cultural traditions with national characteristics. In a broader sense, Chinese music refers to the music of the world characterized by pentatonic modulation. Chinese folk music is a very characteristic art form in the world. In thousands of years of civilization, the Chinese people have created a large number of excellent national music cultures and formed a national music system with profound connotation and rich content. This system occupies an important position in world music. If we want to know Chinese music, we can't just sing some Chinese songs and listen to some traditional music, but we also have to examine Chinese music from the perspective of ethnicity, history and region, and understand Chinese music, so as to truly understand the connotation of Chinese music and its status and historical value in the world music system. Chinese folk music is divided into: folk songs, folk song and dance music, folk instrumental music, folk rap music and folk opera music. Basic elements 1. tune: tune is also called melody. High and low musical notes according to a certain rhythm in an orderly horizontal organization, the formation of tunes. Tunes are the most important means of expression in the form of music, the essence of music, and the decisive factor in music. The direction of the tune is ever-changing, and there are three basic directions: ? Horizontal? Horizontal? upward and? downward? The direction of the same tone is called the horizontal progression; from the bass to the treble direction is called the upward progression; from the treble to the bass direction is called the downward progression. The common ways of proceeding in a tune are:? Repetition of the same tone The same tone is repeated in the same way, and the same tone is repeated in the same direction. Cascade and? skipping. According to the scale of neighboring tones is called a step, three degrees of the jump is called a small jump, four degrees and more than four degrees of the jump is called a big jump. 2. Rhythm: The rhythm of music refers to the length and strength of the tones in a musical movement. The rhythm of music is often compared to the skeleton of music. Rhythm is the periodic and regular repetition of heavy and weak beats in music. Traditional music in China calls the beat ? The beat is called the "beat" in traditional Chinese music. and The plate is equivalent to the strong beat. is equivalent to a strong beat;? Eye? is equivalent to the second strong beat (center eye) or weak beat. 3. Harmony: Harmony includes? Chord? and? Harmonic progressions. Chords are usually formed by three or more notes overlapping vertically (at the same time) according to a certain law. The horizontal organization of chords is the harmonic progression. Harmony has obvious thick, light, thick, thin color role; there are composition of phrases, sub-paragraphs and termination of the role of the music. 4. Strength: the degree of strength or weakness of the tones in the music. 5. Speed: the speed of the music. 6. Modulation: the use of music in the tone according to a certain relationship between the connection, these tones to a tone as the center (the main tone) constitutes a system, it is called modulation. Such as major modes, minor modes, China's pentatonic modes and so on. The tone in the mode, from the main tone from low to high arranged up that constitute the scale. 7. Form: the horizontal organization of music. 8. Weave: The combination of voices in a polyphonic musical composition. (including vertical and horizontal combination). 9. Timbre: Timbre is divided into human voice color and instrumental color. In the human voice color can be divided into children's voices, female voices, male voices and so on. Musical instrument timbre difference is even more diverse. In music, sometimes only a single tone, and sometimes use a mixture of tones.
