How to write after listening to Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix

The Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix is a folk music piece that has been widely circulated in Shandong, Anhui, Henan, Hebei and other places. The piece gives full play to the performance function of suona, imitating the cries of many kinds of flying birds and songbirds, which are lively and rough, cheerful and cheerful, and realistic. The whole piece is played freely, often with improvisation, and the structure played by each family is different, but the general structure is based on the principle of cyclic structure. The music is divided into two parts: the melody part (the main part) and the part that imitates the chirping sound (the insertion part). The melodic part is in levistic mode, characterized by the melodic tones of northern folk songs, and the imitation part is a study of various bird calls, interspersed with them. At the end there is a section of concluding music known as the Xieban. Its enthusiastic and cheerful melody and the sound of birds chirping in harmony express the vibrant scene of nature.

The whole piece***is in segments, and is a piece of music with a cyclic structure.

(1) Tits Crowing. The piece begins with a loose passage. After the suona plays a fresh, melodious phrase, it then imitates the sound of a bird's call, and the accompanying instrument, the flute, echoes and competes with it, showing the mood of the tits crowing at dawn.

(2) Spring Returns to the Earth. This is a piece of tune with a strong local flavor and the rough and crisp style of northern folk music, beautiful and smooth. This piece of music is characterized by the creation of a joyful mood and a varied atmosphere, which provides a psychological preparation for the emergence of the analog tones in the next section.

(3) Warbler's Song and Swallow's Dance. The suona freely simulates various bird calls, and the accompanying voices are accompanied by stretching rhythms and a beautiful song-like melody, which enhances the musicality.

(4) Playing in the forest. Short phrases replace the long phrases in the front, and the music becomes active, as if people are playing in the forest.

(5) Hundreds of Birds. This is the first time to simulate the cries of various birds, giving full play to the suona's unique playing skills, and beautifully expresses the scene of a hundred birds competing for the phoenix.

(6) Joyful Song and Dance. As the speed turns faster, the mood of the piece keeps moving forward. When the orchestra comes to a screeching halt, the suona unexpectedly makes cicada sounds with a flowery tongue, which is very authentic and delightful. Particularly interesting is the simulation of the cicada's struggle when it is caught and its final long cry as it flies away, which is very colorful and full of joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere.

(7) Phoenix Spreading Wings. As the music speeds up and the short and small tone patterns are repeatedly pushed and spoken, the music enters a climax, followed by a flamboyant section of suona, which makes the jubilant mood reach the extreme.

(8) Wings in the air. This is the continuation of the climax passage, the music becomes more and more enthusiastic, and the scene of a hundred birds singing together appears again. A short coda concludes the piece.

This time, by the way, I would like to introduce the instrument: suona

Suona (also called horn)

Structural composition:

On a vertebral-shaped wooden tube with eight holes in the front and back of a sound hole, the upper end of the wooden tube is fitted with a thin copper tube, the upper end of the copper tube is fitted with a reed whistle for the player to play, and the lower end of the tube is connected to a copper horn.

Instrument characteristics:

Belonging to the woodwind family of reed instruments, suona reed whistle structure and the mouthpiece of the Western oboe similar to the mouthpiece of the oboe, are double-reed instruments, but the oboe's reeds are thinner. The tone is high, bright and extremely infectious, whether it is used to express natural things or human joy, anger and sadness, all have their unique characteristics. Suona is a traditional Chinese folk instrument with a long history, and has been widely popular among the people since the Ming Dynasty. Some folk artists can not only play light vibrato, leaning and sliding notes with the suona, but also imitate the soft tone of the xiao with the suona. With a morning time to "Birds of a Feather" this article after reading well, the original felt from with the text between the lines of the kind of fickleness now have an answer, the last sentence "the beggar in the night playing is pure" Birds of a Feather "

Another article in the article is "Birds of a Feather", the last sentence is "Birds of a Feather", the last sentence is "Birds of a Feather".

The opening of an era, a newborn thing, with the development of the inevitable turnover. Because of the time background of the suona, the main character's arduous road to school, to learn the scenery of the journey, all the suona's complacency depicted to the fullest, which has always been the emergence of a person, now and then, to blow the suona in the times of the kind of respect, to get the situation of respect, do not show the mountains do not show the narration out, through his temperament, words and deeds, and the clansmen's get along with the content of the conversation, to the importance of its The article is as full and confident as the line "Raise the oboe, and there is a ripe sun nestled in the copper face".

Time moves on and things evolve. In the oboe and the band on the opposition of the main character's understanding, from incomprehension to understanding, from the shock to give up the line, so that one day when you need to play "Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix", but forgot the tune, everyone laughed, only his master cried, a master from the age of eleven years old to bring him, the old man who pinned his hopes on him, angrily broke the oboe, which represents the status of a generation of gang master, which means that the tradition in the In the face of new things, due to its own mismanagement and the shift in people's thinking, it completely lost its original status and prestige. Until the relevant departments came to the countryside to look for folk culture, the enthusiasm in the heart of the main character was once again ignited, but society has changed his masters and brothers, the scenery of the suona class completely disappeared in everyone's heart.

The end of the story was originally supposed to be the sad departure of the main character. The description of the final scene is interpreted in a variety of ways. Firstly, it tells the readers that the oboe is an old profession that has only been affected by the impact of no one asking for it, but in the street corners of the city, the oboe still exists in the hearts of the people, and if they listen with their hearts, the sound is still there; secondly, it seems to proclaim the end of the oboe era, the "Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix" is a tune that can only be played by the oboe masters, it is a solo performance, and the objects and occasions have unexpected requirements, it is a tune that is only played for the white events. This is a tune that can only be played for a white affair, and can only be enjoyed after the death of a person who is respected and has a very good mouth beer, but at this moment it is a beggar blowing in the night street, and that person must have once been a suona troupe master as well.

The fate of suona is like a mirror that can reflect the same thing.

The Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix is the highest level of suona playing, the sound is like a hundred birds chirping in the forest at the same time, gentle and pure, lively, but the Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix is strictly a piece of dirge, that is, it is only for the dead only to play, it is a song of praise for the dead.

The fate of the suona, like the use of the "Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix", has long been doomed to such a fate.
