Composer of Schindler's List? State and analyze the theme of music, such as the combination of music fragments and plots.

Schindler's List has become a classic in movies, and the gripping music in movies has also become a classic in music. A three-hour 15-minute movie has 14 segments, with a total duration of more than 60 minutes, which constitutes this audio CD. The composer of the soundtrack is john williams, a composer who won five Oscars, eighteen Grammys and three Golden Globes. He composed music for films such as Jurassic Park, Star Wars and Saving Private Ryan. In Schindler's List, john williams adopted a creative technique different from the previous one, relying on emotion instead of scenery, and using the traditional writing method of romantic music school to vividly express a complex and heavy inner world of a nation with soft and concise melody. Coupled with the coordination of the picture and the plot, a set of words is good-very sensational.

There are many passages of violin solo in the soundtrack. The performer is a world-famous violin master-Itzhak Perlman, a Jew. It is most appropriate for him to perform the soundtrack of such a film. The piano part is played by the composer himself, and there is the voice of the choir.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that on the cover of this record, a powerful adult's big hand tightly grasped the child's little hand with a little red sleeve, and the theme of saving was so simple and shocking. The red color of the sleeves is the only color in the whole picture, which is particularly conspicuous. I think it may symbolize life and hope. The background of the picture is "..........., a list made by an old typewriter through a ribbon that seems to be stained with blood"-Schindler's list.

In a word, this is a sad but not just sad music. If you can cooperate with the film, you can feel more.

Track introduction:

0 1. The theme of Schindler's List

This is the main theme that runs through the whole film, and it appears in many places in the film, especially in the soundtrack of 14, which is also the most familiar to music lovers. This piece of music is taken from the end of the film. At this time, the following scene appeared in the picture-decades later, 1000 Jews rescued by Schindler came to Schindler's grave with their descendants, each holding a small stone and putting it on Schindler's tombstone. The scene is solemn. This melody sounded at this moment and lasted for a long time. The extremely euphemistic and sad melody was deeply interpreted by Paalmann, a master violinist, and conveyed a very complicated emotion. Watching this scene of the movie, listening to the piano can make people cry.

14. Theme song of Schindler's List (replay)

This is still the main theme, which is interpreted by composer john williams on the piano and appears at the end of the film when the subtitles are played. Compared with the melodious sound of the violin, the interpretation of the piano expresses a different kind of sadness.

(The following track introduction is quoted from: Schindler List Music Appreciation-Yang Dalin -Hi-Fi Magazine)

The theme of Schindler's List is a complex trilogy with complete structure. After a short and sad introduction, the violin played a theme paragraph in tears. This sad and moving melody runs through the whole film, completely out of the picture, and depicts the psychological course of a disaster-stricken nation from a macro perspective. After the theme is repeated in the bright high octave, it enters the middle section. Violin keeps pouring out in the bass area, and the audience can imagine the passion that the player is pouring on the bowstring at this moment-the unspeakable passion of the whole Jewish nation to which violinist Paalmann belongs. The theme reappears enthusiastically in the high-pitched area, and finally disappears in the affectionate main chord decomposition of the harp.

In addition to the above themes, there is also a large piece of music with obvious freehand brushwork tendency, which can be called "extraordinary" in all Williams' works. This piece of music spans a lot, reaching 10 minutes, and is named Schindler's Labor Force. Its main part began when the Jews in Krakow moved out of their homes under the supervision of the SS, and Schindler moved into a "new home" at the same time. It rings quietly, almost unknown. In the process of changing shots and changing scenes, music always changes a motive at a relatively fixed rhythm. The clarinet solo is punctuated by a whimper. Here, the music keeps parallel and asynchronous relationship with the ongoing picture. It is this unconventional writing technique that keeps music out of the picture and reveals the connotation of the picture more deeply after obtaining relatively independent characters. Everything the audience saw-the inhuman treatment of Jews and the tragic situation they faced; German Nazi arrogance and bullying; As an individual Jewish accountant, Stan endured humiliation and actively mediated for his compatriots. There is also Schindler, a German who is also an individual. He wants to use the war to make a fortune and try his best to build his own factory. All this happened in the turbulent and dangerous historical background at that time. As a nation and an individual, we can't escape the trajectory of fate. The stubborn, inhuman and inflexible rhythm in music, like the heavy and ruthless footsteps of history, is pushing people step by step into the unknown future. ...

Here, music is highly summarized.

If the creation of film soundtrack still has the characteristics of john williams, then the most obvious is the soundtrack of Schindler's breakup with his Jews. At this time, although the music still maintained the function of freehand brushwork, the synchronization of paragraphs and pictures was just right, which accurately set off the atmosphere of the pictures with the development of the plot and achieved the artistic effect of making people cry. The composer named this piece "I could have done more". When Schindler, surrounded by Jews, walked slowly to the car and explained the last thing to Stan, the accountant, flute, clarinet and English pipe played a kind melody similar to human voice dialogue in the warm string background. When the Jewish elders handed Schindler the signature certificates of all the rescued people, the strings once again played a theme variation full of affection in a warm tone. When accountant Stan solemnly and respectfully presented the ring to their patron saint Schindler, it condensed the gratitude of a nation. With Schindler's action of holding the ring, the theme melody of the film sounded again, pushing the touching atmosphere in the picture to a climax. Later, when Schindler left, the moving camera took a close-up of his profile through the window, and the farewell crowd was superimposed on the glass. While the picture expresses its connotation with vivid and concise film language, the music also shows the hard-won affection between Schindler and more than 1000 lives he tried to save with a long and continuous melody line developed from the theme. ...

The audience will surely remember that there was a panoramic shot at the end of the film: the surviving Jews lined up on the sunny Yuan Ye horizon. They represent their ancient nation, which has suffered greatly. They have changed the image of humiliation and depression in the past and are striding towards a promising and bright future. At the same time, the cruel concentration camp commander, SS Major Amon Gert, was hanged. The scariest and bloodiest page in human history has been turned, and a new era has begun. In this group of shots, the music also showed ease and comfort for the first time. On the solo guitar "Broken String" in A minor, the prelude of whistling makes people feel a kind of moderate happiness and liveliness, which leads to the folk chorus "Golden Jerusalem".

The forest tastes as fresh as wine.

The bells and the fragrance of pine and cypress

Wandering in the dust

Sleeping trees and stone walls

And a wall extending through it.

Turn this lonely city

Go to sleep.

City of gold, city of bronze

Jerusalem is full of light.

I use my piano sound.

Eternal song for you

This is a song sung in a natural voice in triple time. The songwriter is not Williams, but Naomi Shemer, a Jewish composer, and this ode sung in Hebrew was not written for this film. "Jincheng Jerusalem" first appeared in the film Pour Sacha co-produced by France and Israel in 199 1. With simple melody and pious feelings, this ode expresses the incomparable reverence and infinite hope of the Jewish people for the golden city of Jerusalem. In Schindler's List, for composer john williams, it is also the cornerstone of music creation-the leading power of Schindler's theme comes from the first paragraph of this chorus. It is on this short motive of five degrees that the composer created all the passionate music of the film Schindler List.
