What is the musical singing method of Wuyin Opera?

There are four kinds of musical vocals in Wuyin Opera: leisurely board, scattered board, chicken feet and two boards, and there are fixed tunes, such as lotus flower, falling bean song, crying, crying yellow, doll cavity, peaceful year, jasmine, saw Dagong drum yangko and so on.

Thanks to the continuous efforts of several generations of artists, the music of Wuyinxi has created many new plates and qupai on the basis of inheriting the tradition, which greatly enriched the expressive force of Wuyinxi. The musical singing of Wuyin Opera is particularly prominent in the adaptation of modern new dramas and masterpieces, which has been recognized by experts and audiences.

Adagio, commonly known as "Adagio" in music singing, is one of the basic plates of pentatonic drama, and its basic paragraph structure consists of two phrases, which have a strong echo relationship. It is divided into three types: slow, medium and fast, with Gongdiao as the main tone.

Adagio, soothing and gentle, is longer than lyric; Medium plate, smooth and light, suitable for pouring praise; Allegro, fast and compact, is often used in advertising, discrimination and other occasions.

Medium board and Allegro are also called "water board". A complete song begins and ends on the chessboard. If a sentence falls into the eyes of the tail cavity, it must be because the lyrics are sandwiched.

The "baner" in music singing should not be called "baner", but a one-sided statement. Singing with a faster rhythm, there is actually only one board, sometimes called "water board", which is commonly used by the old, the young, the old, the painted face, the doll, the ugly line and Hua Dan. Its rhythm is lively, close to chanting and narrative. There are two modes of "Gong" and "Hui", with Gong as the main mode, and sometimes it can be divided into tight singing and fast singing according to the needs of the plot.

A complete duet for Baner should follow the singing method that begins with the eyes falling on the board, while Allegro, like a running board, changes into a flashing board method that begins with the eyes falling on the board.

Gouging chicken feet in musical singing is a fast-paced singing method, with no eyes, flexible board, good at expressing warm and hearty feelings, and easy to be compatible with other board cavities, which is one of the commonly used board cavities in Wuyin Opera. This kind of singing should have a very close relationship with the idle board and the second board. The upper and lower phrases make up a piece of music, and the structural scales of at least four phrases make up a aria.

A disc is a rhythm unit, and each aria is not less than 4 discs. The lyrics are 10, and the aria occupies more than 10. It is characterized in that the upper board and the lower board, the flash board and the cavity, and the stop must also end on the board. Another feature of its vocal structure is that the upper and lower sentences are basically symmetrical, and the front and back are basically symmetrical.

The three boards in music singing have special functions in expressing characters' emotions. Its tune can be Changle sentence, which has the nature of guiding disk. After that, it is usually closely connected with the voice on the back plate, which can naturally appear in the head of the fixed voice, and then go to the plate for scattering, or at the tail of the fixed voice, and some appear in the middle of the voice.

This function must follow the new board, so that the whole aria can be developed. More importantly, as an independent board, Songban can play a unique performance role as a solo aria.

Although the rhythm of the three boards is free, it can also be divided into two types, namely the so-called three boards, three boards and three boards. If you sing slowly, the accompaniment must obey the singing, and the singing without board and three boards mainly depends on the actors to master the rhythm.

Lyrics, as one of the two major components of traditional Chinese opera language, are closely combined with the dialogue in traditional Chinese opera and become an important tool for characters to exchange ideas and express their feelings. When lyrics and music are combined into an aria, they are used to speak instead of the characters in the play. Characters can directly pour out their thoughts and feelings to the audience through singing, thus playing an important role in promoting the development of the drama plot.

All operas have their own structural rules, which are generally called "cliches" in the opera circle, and are systematically divided into "thirteen cliches" in Peking Opera, namely, Fahua, Sobo, Mixie, Yiqi, Gusu, Huailai, Huidui, Yaotiao, Yuan Qiu, Yan Qian, Renchen, Jiang Yang and Middle East. In China traditional opera, the lyrics of both Qupai style and Banqiang style are written according to this rhythm.

The development of lyrics. Wuyin Opera is a unique local opera popular on both sides of Ji Jiao Railway, and its popular range is east of Jinan, west of Qingdao, south of Huimin and north of Linqu. After nearly 300 years of continuous improvement, it has gradually grown into a complete traditional opera with a plate cavity.

From the analysis of the surviving scripts, the lyrics of Wuyin Opera in its infancy appeared in the form of folk songs and slang sentences. As far as the literary value of folk songs and slang is concerned, they are folk, grassroots and not elegant.

Later, due to the limitation of popular regions and actors singing in dialects, the lyrics structure of Wuyinxi kept the general rules of lyrics, and at the same time it was mixed with regional dialects in Zibo, Jinan, Weifang and Binzhou, forming the language characteristics of Wuyinxi. This is one of the important reasons why Wuyin Opera can be welcomed by the broad masses of people in central Shandong and has strong artistic vitality.

At first, there was no certain repertoire and no fixed performance place for the singing of Wuyin Opera. That's a popular form of humming among the people, and it's a way for Zhou Guzi to vent her grievances. Because of its beautiful melody and simple and plaintive voice, it is easy to accept and gradually accepted by working people.

In the vast rural areas, when the villagers are basking in the sun or busy farming, they will hum songs while working. They also compiled many beautiful tunes and added some impromptu simple life stories at any time, which enriched the content and form of the performance, but the lyrics at that time mostly appeared in the form of jingles.

Later, with the continuous improvement of singing skills, many poor artists took singing doors, singing stalls and setting stools as their main means of livelihood at that time, thus forming the singing form of five-person class.

Zhouguzi Opera, known as the five-person class, has been greatly improved and developed in terms of repertoire, singing, performance, costume props, cast and crew, etc.

Music has developed from the initial folk song minor to the performance mode of paying equal attention to both banqiang and Qupai, from stool to stage performance, and the repertoire has been continuously enriched.

At this time, in order to meet the needs of the grassroots audience, the lyrics have a strong local flavor, and most of them focus on the real life and family ethics of working people, especially the fate of women in society at that time. Singing in vernacular Chinese is mainly based on the local language of the actors, which makes the language of the masses rich, colloquial and literary, with a strong local color and is deeply loved by the masses.

Characteristics of lyrics. Wuyin Opera Ci has a strong flavor of life and local color, rich mass vocabulary, and the characteristics of folk oral literature, which mainly reflects the rural scenery and affection for children. These plays left a deep impression on the audience with their strong life breath and lively performances. The main characteristics of its lyrics are mumbling, suspense, singing or singing at the same time, and the lyrics are not fixed.
