"Ding ding ding ding ding ding dong~~"

"I Breathe the Fragrance of the Bodhi Tree", in the key of D major, the piano accompaniment starts weakly with the dominant note A, bringing out a series of crystal clear upper tones.

The crisp and swaying sound of wind chimes interrupted everyone's reverie. The piano only used a few notes of seventh chords to make a simple connection, and then played out a second string of pure and sweet sounds of nature again.

"Ding ding ding ding ding ding dong~~"

Miss Nightingale's physical condition became more active. She stood on her high heels and her voice was as pure as if it had been washed by spring water:

"I breathed in a burst of fragrance..."

The first impression of this melody is so clear and sincere that it penetrates the listener's heart like ice water. It is more beautiful than the song of the nightingale that reaches the ears of the shepherd when the rainforest is green and the berries are sweet.

But strictly speaking, accompaniment in the true sense has not yet appeared.

The two ethereal tinkling sounds of the piano are just a brief introduction. Master Lucter uses a critical attitude to listen to how the melody will develop next and what kind of interpretation the piano will perform.

His mood is really complicated at this moment. There is no doubt that if this art song falls into the trap of those discussions, he will be disappointed or even angry, but he must treat the singer with a gentle and honest attitude - because

, even if you don’t know how to express your artistic conception, how can you criticize others for expressing it?

However, what everyone heard was not accompaniment at all.

Not a column, broken or semi-broken chord, but a melody.

Another one-note counterpoint melody!

In the slightly higher alto range, the piano played a series of clear and far-off sextuplets unhurriedly.

Its speed is very subtle, medium speed, if it is faster it will be impetuous, if it is slower it will be dragging; its intensity is very restrained, if it is strong it will be abrupt, if it is weak it will be artificial, everything is just right.

Refreshing inspiration rushed to their faces, and the audience felt that they really smelled the fragrance of the linden tree!

It came a little later than Miss Nightingale's song, just like the girl's orchid breath, which penetrated the listener's breath and penetrated into the listener's soul a little later!

"I breathed in a burst of fragrance.

placed in the room,

A small twig of the lime tree;

This is a gift,

From my beloved;

The scent of the linden tree is so sweet!

The scent of the lime tree is so sweet!"

An's voice is young, gentle and emotional.

The vocal melody is already like this, and the counterpoint melody of the piano is extremely transparent and quiet. Only the sparse bass in the left hand supports the skeleton of the harmony, suggesting that the quiet fragrance of the Bodhi tree is floating in the air and quietly sinking into the heart of the admirer.

Master Lucter was instantly moved.

Counterpoint, the "accompaniment" method of the piano is not accompaniment, but counterpoint with the same main role!

And it’s not a counterpoint to the medieval style, but a stunning melody that mixes romanticism and mystery!

The musical counterpoint between the two polyphonic melodies is naturally harmonious, but the imagery always remains distant, just like the pounding of the heart in youth: all the attention is clearly on the person you like,

But even the slightest touch of skin was reserved and awkward.

The core creative inspiration of my own poem is to connect this green taste of love with the fragrance of the bodhi tree, and this polyphonic art song perfectly reproduces this artistic conception!

I have been pondering for many years but still haven’t found it yet!

The master's hand holding the pen suddenly tightened.

However, this is not over yet.

In the second part of the song, the right hand of the piano adds a third counterpoint melody in the high register!

It is like adding a natural narration to the lovely interactions and responses between lovers, which is full of freshness and sunshine, further integrating the artistic conception of the poem with the musical lines, without any artificiality!

At this time, Miss Nightingale smiled softly, held her hands gently on her chest, continued singing in a longing tone, and expressed her feelings to her sweetheart in green words:

"You speak so gently,

Take a light sniff,

It is also the fragrance of the linden tree,

It’s the fragrance of love!”

When the song disappeared in the unearthly silence, the reaction of the tourists in the back row was completely different from that after Miss Cuckoo finished singing "The Queen's Aria". This time there was no overwhelming applause or cheers, but everyone

There was no movement at all. Those who stood up still stood where they were, and those who sat down still maintained their original postures.

Those fresh and throbbing fragrances still linger in the air for a long time.

Master Lucter finally spoke.

Throughout today's selection competition, he had very few low-pitched exchanges with the judges, but this was definitely the first time he took the initiative to speak to a singer——

"Who wrote this song?"

An didn't answer because he immediately asked a second question without giving anyone a chance to answer.

This time the speaking speed was obviously a bit faster:

"You originally had a second song, right?"

"Yes, sir." An answered politely, holding up her skirt.

For the qualifying round, everyone originally prepared two songs, but later Lucter cut them in half in order to keep up with the schedule.

Naturally, he clearly remembered that when the nightingale announced the curtain, she was talking about the first song of "Lucter's Song"!

"Why are you not in a hurry, teacher?" Ku Ci looked at the girl in the white dress on the stage. Judging from the response, Miss Nightingale was naturally selected successfully. She clearly remembered that the teacher was on pins and needles before.

"Teacher, why is he so anxious?..." Another famous tenor singer felt that this tone was very different from the teacher's usual style.

Prince Eleanor and the troubadour Senesino, who were on Lucter's left and right, were thinking deeply.

One of these two people is the person in charge of the Opera House, Miss Cuckoo's brother, and the other is the person in charge of the Grand Concert Hall, Miss Cuckoo's teacher. It is inevitable that she will be promoted to the position of famous singer this year, with royal and church backgrounds.

, coupled with her own talent, everything fell into place.

There is no conflict in the final selection. You can choose either one or two, but the final award in the final is gender-specific! There is only one male and female singer, and there are three nominations each! In this case, both of them are sopranos, and they are both sopranos.

On the same track...

"What's the name of the second song? Can it be sung?" Master Lucter asked again.

As is human nature, the poet really wanted to know if the instructor behind him had written such an art song, and which one was his own! His three famous singer students were also curious about which one it was.

Because such works will definitely become my repertoire in the future, such as the song "The Fragrance of the Bodhi Tree" just now.

However, Lucter's tone now has returned to the calmness that an elderly man should have, and he added:

"I have already said that this group of contestants will only sing one song, so whether you want to sing a second song is entirely up to your personal wishes. This will not affect my voting judgment."

"Very happy." An smiled lightly again and crisply announced the title of the next song:

""If You Love Beauty"."

Teacher, how can he be so great! Miss Nightingale is very happy now. Everyone recognizes her singing voice. This is only one aspect of it. Another important reason is that she feels that her enjoyment has risen, and she simply wants to sing again from the bottom of her heart.

head.

She asked Fan Ning that day, and he said that the order of singing was not specified, so the five songs were decided by her own feelings. At this moment, she felt that her arrangement was very narrative and progressive, first moistening things silently, and then

"The second sound seizes people" finally leads to summary and sublimation, and the second song "If You Love Beauty"... In her understanding, the meaning of the poem clearly belongs to the category of "seizing people".

After hearing another poem of his own, Master Lucter nodded slightly with a complicated expression.

This work was created a little later. It is also a love poem he wrote for his lover in his youth. It is a polyrhythmic poem with a classical and neat structure, but strange and magnificent rhetorical techniques.

He really wanted to know how the creator would present it.

The piano descends in a simple scale, leading to a gentle and intimate four-part harmony.

"How to write 'branch polyphony'? The accompaniment of each song is really not cliché." These judges have such keen ears, they realized from the beginning that this creative technique is by no means simple.

Its counterpoint independence is stronger than traditional accompaniment, but weaker than contrasting or imitative polyphony: usually multiple levels are performed around a main melody, sometimes separated, sometimes gathered, and set off each other, thus forming a kind of human voice.

Sound effects contained in dense textures.

It sounds very beautiful, but it should be noted that if the harmony and melody writing are not already perfect, this method can easily make the vocals and accompaniment indistinguishable! But now——

Miss Nightingale once again raised her spirits and spoke. This time she no longer sang in a reserved tone, but with bright eyes, open arms, and sang loudly with enthusiasm:

“If you love beauty, please don’t love me!…”

As soon as the melody came out, before it was complete, everyone understood the magic of it. The piano gently embraced the singing, and the singing responded with deep love. The two were lingering and cuddling together, and they worked together perfectly!

"Who wrote this?" The three famous singers, including Miss Kuci, were puzzled. If only the amazing song just now was the only one, everyone's reaction would be to marvel who could capture such an aura, but the second

The level of the two songs is equally high...

Is it possible that there are still people who can stably perform "The Collected Poems of Lucter" twice? This is somewhat difficult to understand!
