""Song Girl from the End of the World"?" Zhao Xingsheng's eyes lit up. If he were not a crayfish but a crab, his eyes would be stretched out now.

"Teacher, you also know "Song Girl from the End of the World"." Wang Haixia next to him looked surprised, "That's right, teacher, it's a song from your era!"

"Not at all!" Zhao Xingsheng waved two large pliers angrily, "I'm only in my early thirties, okay!"

"Is this song older than you?" Wang Haixia looked at him in confusion.

Zhao Xingsheng turned around and looked at the screen. This guy was a classmate of Gu Xiaobai and Fu Wenyao, right? He was from Class 1, Class 18, Department of Physics. I remembered it!

Let me help you put on your shoes when I have time! You guys born after 2000 really can’t talk!

"So, how old is "Song Girl from the End of the World"?" Wang Haixia asked, then he lowered his head and searched for it on his mobile phone. He took a look and laughed out loud: "Teacher, I am really older than you!"

Zhao Xingsheng feels that he is very cultured.

I didn't pinch this guy to death directly.

The song "Song Girl at the End of the World" is really famous and very old.

It was born in 1937 and is one of the theme songs of the classic movie "Road Angel". It was originally sung by Zhou Xuan, a generation of singers with a golden voice.

And its songwriter is also very famous. The composer is He Luting. He also has a very popular work, which is known to women and children as "Guerrilla Song".

The lyricist is Tian Han.

That's right, it's that Tian Han.

And Zhou Xuan, with this song, has become popular in the Chinese circles in the north and south of the Yangtze River, on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, in the South China Sea and the North Ocean, in Britain, France, the United States and Japan...

Zhou Xuan with a golden voice is one of the most influential divas in the history of domestic music. Even Teresa Teng has covered countless of her songs.

And for such a song, there are probably more singers who have sung it than there are people in this auditorium.

This song itself is just a folk tune with a simple melody and few techniques, so it is easier to add your own personal style when singing it.

In addition to Teresa Teng's cover, there are also Tsai Chin's bass version, Zhou Huajian's greasy version, Wu Mochou's bewitching version...

Coincidentally, this song is also a song that Zhao Xingsheng likes very much.

As a historian who specializes in music history and ancient musical instruments, he has a natural affinity for these songs that have had a huge impact on history.

"Which version do you want to sing?" Zhao Xingsheng suddenly became interested.

"Which version?" Gu Xiaobai looked confused. How many versions are there for one song?

Is it the same as textbooks? Is there any People's Education Edition, Jiangsu Education Edition, or Normal University Edition?

Looking at Zhao Xingsheng's questioning eyes, Gu Xiaobai replied blankly: "My grandma's version."

Zhao Xingsheng had a black line on his forehead. He wanted to ask about the version because he wanted to help Gu Xiaobai prepare the accompaniment. After all, singing a cappella is a test of singing skills, which also means that the meow of a strangled cat will be even more sad...

Zhao Xingsheng looked around him and saw that his classmates were already ready to go.

It's not to applaud, it's to plug your ears.

Zhao Xingsheng raised his hand subconsciously: "Then... let's go on stage and sing."

Fu Wenyao was playing and singing just now, so now there was a microphone stand on the stage with a microphone on it. Qi Xiaobai came to the microphone stand and looked down.

A group of people were also looking at him with nervous smiles.

Wang Haixia raised his hands high, Fu Wenyao held his guitar tightly with both hands, and Zhao Xingsheng remained silent.

"Then I sang?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

do my best.

"Ahem..." Gu Xiaobai cleared his throat.

Although he was forced to participate in some primary election, Gu Xiaobai has always been serious about his work. As long as he does it, he will never escape.

Next to him, the keyboard player had no idea what was going on. He only heard a song title and kindly played a simple intro for Gu Xiaobai.

“mimisollala…”

Gu Xiaobai listened to the prelude and recalled the lyrics and melody.

When the prelude ended, Gu Xiaobai took a breath and started singing.

Zhao Xingsheng's eyes lit up. Hey, the beat was very accurate. He didn't look like someone who didn't understand it at all.

But when Gu Xiaobai spoke the first word, Zhao Xingsheng's heart skipped a beat.

Turn it up high.

This song was originally sung by a female voice. Female voices are naturally one octave higher than male voices. The first note of the Tianya singer is la (6). If it were replaced with the common range of female voices, it would be a4.

How high is a4?

It’s about as high as doing a handstand on the edge of a three-story building!

The common high range for domestic male singers is this range. If you sing the original tune without training, the vocal range of a normal boy will probably reach the top by the time he sings the first sentence.

Zhao Xingsheng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of what Wang Haixia had described to him, the sound of squeezing a cat to death.

The starting key is so high, I can't sing, and my vocal cords are squeezed desperately. Isn't this the sound of a cat being crushed to death?

Zhao Xingsheng had raised his hand and was about to cover his ears.

But the next moment, he was completely stunned.

A clear, loud, thick, and even relaxing sound came through.

"The end of the sky~"

That's right, it's a4!

In one measure, a simple three-word lyric descends from a4 to d4, and then rises back to a4, which is exactly a perfect fifth, and sounds very harmonious.

When Gu Xiaobai sang, it was as simple as eating a side dish, but this could not hide the fact that it had entered the high range of the male voice, which made Zhao Xingsheng's eyes pop out.

It's not surprising that there is such a high pitch in the range. As mentioned before, ordinary people can shout at the top of their voices without training, but the tone is already terrible, and just one sentence is enough to make them die.

There is a difference between treble and treble. If you can play with ease in this range, have a high-quality voice and clear enunciation, you will already be a treble expert in the traditional sense.

For example, the high notes that Sun Nan, Han Lei, and Liu Huan are good at are basically in this range. The male voice's timbre and high pitch are enough to make people's heads explode.

Now Zhao Xingsheng's head is about to explode.

It exploded, it really exploded!

With just the first three words, Zhao Xingsheng's thinning hair had already stood up, and his hair was as stiff as a hedgehog.

etc……

In a flash of lightning, Zhao Xingsheng suddenly realized something.

The first section is a4, and the beginning of the next section is...c5?

The legendary touchstone of tenor...highc?

But he didn't even have time to think about it, the earth-shattering C5 treble had already burst out.

What is the concept of c5, or highc?

c is the number 1 in the musical notation, which is used to sing do, and c5 is the fifth c numbered from the left to the right of the piano. This is basically a normal, human-level pop tenor singer who has not yet broken through the sky.

The highest note ever heard.

For example, in the first line of "I'll Love You Even If You Die" by Xin Band, death is e4, and then it rises a minor sixth, followed by four consecutive words "I'll love you even if you die", which is a ground-breaking, high-pitched highc! It starts with a climax!

It can be said that those who can sing high-quality highc are all talented people, and they are really talented people.

But this is just the beginning for the song "The End of the World"...

Because this is a cover of the original key...and it's a male and a female vocalist.

Note 1: The original sung of "The Songstress of the End of the World" is actually in the key of bb, which is B flat, not the key of C. It is half a tone lower than the key of C. It is ignored here for the convenience of writing.

Note 2: For songs with male vocals covered by female vocals, you can refer to Hua Chenyu’s cover of Chen Li’s “Inflammable and Explosive”, which has explosive high notes.
