Yellow river art material

I. Introduction to the author

Guang Weiran, formerly known as Zhang Guangnian, was born in 19 13 in Guanghua County, Hubei Province. 1927 middle school participated in the revolutionary work, dropped out of school after the "April 12th" counter-revolutionary coup, and worked as an apprentice, a shop assistant and a primary school teacher. 1936 arrived in Shanghai to participate in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement and engage in progressive literary and artistic activities. The lyrics of Mayflower, written in August, 1935, are widely sung because of their deep sadness. After arriving in Yan 'an from 65438 to 0939, The Yellow River Cantata, a group poem praising the spirit of the Chinese nation, became popular all over the country after being composed by Xian Xinghai. After the founding of New China, he was the editor-in-chief of Drama, Literary Newspaper and People's Literature.

Second, how do I write the Yellow River (Xian Xinghai)?

Although the creation of The Yellow River originated in Yan 'an, which is short of material conditions, it has created a new type of national salvation song at this stage.

Although the songs of national salvation in the past had great effects and were deeply loved by the masses, they were quickly spurned by the masses. Therefore, the imbalance between "quantity" and "quality" makes many songs disappear or completely ineffective in a short time.

Although the lyrics of Yellow River are a little elegant, they do not detract from its style. It has great verve, skill, enthusiasm and truth, especially a bright future. Moreover, it directly fits the current environment and points out the significance of "defending the Yellow River". It is also full of beautiful, realistic, resentful and tragic feelings, so that people who have never crossed the Yellow River and those who have been to the Yellow River feel the same way. The lyrics themselves have tried to describe the history of the Yellow River for thousands of years.

1. Yellow River boatman song

If you listen attentively, you can find a picture, like dozens of boatmen rowing, full of fighting power. There are two kinds of emotions worthy of attention in the song: the tension at the beginning is the boatman's struggle with the waves when crossing the Yellow River. They sang "Paddle Forward", "Dark clouds cover the sky …" and "The waves hit the boat, partner! Open your eyes! Helmsman! Grab your wrist! ..... desperately! Don't be afraid! " "Sailing is like going to the line of fire and rushing forward as one!" The last paragraph is a little easier. Before they crossed the Yellow River, they were full of happiness and light. After a burst of laughter, their mood has reached a state of comfort and peace of mind, and they can catch their breath.

2. Ode to the Yellow River

It is written in the form of ode, mostly praising the greatness and strength of the Yellow River with unrestrained enthusiasm. Solo by tenor, the song is solemn and stirring, and you can hear the power of the Yellow River flowing in the accompaniment!

3. How does the Yellow River water flow out of heaven?

It's a recitation, and I accompany it with three strings. The lyrics are all expressed in three strings, not the accompaniment of drums or ordinary Beijing dialect. There is a song with independent lyrics and accompaniment in Europe, which was initiated by composer Wolff. However, it is probably the first time that China's songs use three strings to express the lyrics, and can be composed into a song independently. In addition to the surging waves of the Yellow River, Sanxian has two tunes: One is "Man Jiang Hong" and the other is March of the Volunteers. But only a little, not the whole song (this is because of the melody organization).

4. "Yellow River Counterpart Song"

It is written in the form of folk songs (Shanxi tune). The last three parts of the two choruses are coordinated with the main theme of Party A and Party B, and Sanxian and Erhu represent the duet and chorus of Party A and Party B respectively. Besides, it is easier and more interesting to go through the door. Singers should use actions to help convey songs, which is more vivid.

5. "Yellow Water Ballad"

This is a folk song sung in unison. The tone is relatively simple, and there is an expression of pain and groaning. But unlike the decadence of ordinary people, Huangshui ballads are full of hope and struggle!

6. Yellow River complaints

A voice representing the oppression of women, a voice being insulted. The tone is tragic and lingering, and it is a sad song sung with tears. If the singer doesn't feel this way, the audience must not feel the same way, which should be noticeable.

7. Defend the Yellow River

It is the first round of singing, from two parts to four parts in turn. At the beginning of every sentence, you should be strong, healthy and optimistic. It's all written in China melody. When singing in three or four rounds, there is "Long Ge", which is the backup singer. Singing style is very interesting when singing. The whole thing is very powerful and imposing, falling together and changing endlessly. Just pay attention to singing the melody constantly.

8. "hey! the Yellow River

This is a four-part chorus with two, three and four different voices. The melody is sincere and powerful, but full of blood and encouragement, which is one of the most important themes of The Yellow River. The last two sentences: "Send a warning signal to the suffering people in China! Send a warning signal to people who work all over the world! " Sing it three times, four times and five times until the audience feels the same way. It is best to play the main theme with bugles and then accompany it with drums, so as to show the greatness of the "Yellow River". Its roar inspires the suffering masses and working people all over the world.

The practice of the Yellow River was China's first attempt. I hope that people who pay attention to the new music movement in China can give me a guide and make me work harder.

Third, the birth of the Yellow River Chorus (before it happened)

A friend called from the north to discuss The Yellow River Cantata's manuscript, and asked me to write an article for Chinese Express to coincide with the grand performance of this work of art by the great American composer Xian Xinghai at the Yellow River Music Festival. I wrote a memoir about this topic and said everything. However, it is difficult to be ambitious. Although the composition is limited, I still have to try again. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my warm congratulations on the fruitful achievements of the Yellow River Music Festival. I would also like to express my thanks and apologies for the kind invitation of the cultural circles in Hong Kong, because I was unable to go because of something.

As early as the spring of 1937, when Xinghai and I met in Shanghai, he had great aspirations and wanted to express our Chinese belief in suffering, struggle, freedom, happiness and victory through his own musical image. He poured this great wish into the national symphony he was writing. When War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, it was the time when all the people in China were enthusiastic, especially the literary and art workers. He wrote many patriotic songs with long vitality, and he hoped to express his ambition through the long works of vocal music art, which shows that the birth of The Yellow River Cantata conforms to the requirements of the times and the composer's inherent requirements.

In retrospect, the composer's ambition to reflect the requirements of the times is the common aspiration of China writers and artists, and I am no exception. 1938 in autumn and winter, I often marched on both sides of the northwest yellow river with comrades from the third team of anti-enemy drama. Activities in guerrilla base areas behind enemy lines. The magnificent mountains and rivers in China and the heroic attitude of guerrilla fighters have always strongly touched me, and a large-scale recitation poem Ode to the Yellow River is brewing in my mind. Later, when I was writing a poem about treating diseases in Yan 'an, I accepted the advice of Comrade Xinghai and the three teams in the play and adapted it into the lyrics of the Yellow River Chorus.

What can be added now is that there were two impressions at that time, which strongly and directly inspired the poetry in my chest. One is the scene of the boatman fighting with the stormy waves when crossing the dangerous beach of the Yellow River, which has been shown and played in the Yellow River Boatman Song. At that time, Song of the Boatman recorded by Comrade Wu Xiling in Together was an important reference for Xinghai's composition. Another is to pass through Hukou (Hukou) in the north of Jixian County, Shanxi Province, and watch the Yellow River plunge into the cliff abyss, forming a magnificent picture of Niagara Falls. This is the famous place where the Yellow River smokes and boats travel by land. I was stunned by the miracle of nature. I wrote the impression at that time truthfully into the recitation song "How the Yellow River Water Moves Out of the Sky" (the third chorus). I said "write truthfully" because it was "from ten miles away" but "looking up at its smoke rising", which really "shook the earth's crust and dispersed the dark clouds in the sky"; The endless sufferings of the northwest people in history described here, as well as the strange sight of "guerrilla corps and field troops on both sides of the Yellow River dotted behind enemy lines" at that time, are also true. The third of The Yellow River Cantata's eight songs was written as a recitation song, which was a deliberate attempt by the songwriter. Xinghai wrote: "China's songs are accompanied by three strings, which can express the content of lyrics and can compose independently. This is probably the first attempt." (How did I write the Yellow River Chorus?) I think we should try to exert the artistic effect in this way.

After the liberation of China, the Yellow River Chorus has been formally performed in the capital for many times, but it was neglected to recite the song "How the Yellow River Water Moves Out of Heaven", which I deeply regret. It is difficult to recite songs, but it is difficult to perform. They are afraid that if they don't handle it well, the whole performance will be affected. 1April, 939, I performed two performances in Yan 'an for the first time, which I recited in spite of my illness. At that time, the accompaniment conditions were relatively simple. Later, he performed in Yan 'an, and before liberation, he performed amateur performances in major cities in the north and south, all of which finished eight songs in one breath, and the third song was not difficult to handle. Now the high-level singing skills of professional groups are much better than in the past. I hope artists can overcome difficulties and hear the complete performance of chorus.

I still remember 1939. One night in February, in a spacious cave in Yan 'an Communication Office, 30 comrades of the third team of the Anti-Japanese War Drama had a happy New Year's Eve. The hospital in Shilipu invited me to this party. Comrade Xinghai was also invited to attend. Under the bright kerosene lamp, I stood up and explained a few words, and then recited all the lyrics of more than 400 lines of Yellow River emotionally. Comrades listened attentively with expectant eyes. As soon as the applause fell, Comrade Xinghai stood up, grasped the lyrics in his hand and said, "I will definitely write it!" Followed by more warm applause, mixed with cheers, congratulations on the harmony between this poem and the soul of music.

The Yellow River Cantata is mainly the achievement of music art, and the lyrics provide convenient conditions for realizing the composer's ambition. We feel sorry for the premature departure of talented composers! If he lived to this day-80 years old, of course, and heard that his songs are still in the north and south of the country, it would be great to inspire the people of China to unite and rise up and revitalize China! If he is still alive, how many immortal movements of the times will he write in the last 40 years of his normal continuation! Thought of here, more and more feel our loss! Encourage the younger generation of people with lofty ideals to catch up, make up for our heavy losses, and add new glory to new China by surpassing the creation of predecessors!

Fourth, the "Yellow River" skill (before it happened)

The Yellow River appeared on the Asian plain with its heroism, symbolizing the great spirit of the Chinese nation. Throughout the ages, many poets have praised and sang for it.

In The Yellow River Cantata, a powerful picture of fantasy and reality is unfolded.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and the waves beat on the shore. The boatmen of the Yellow River fought in the storm and finally reached the other side after hardships. This symbolizes that our great nation and people have broken through the difficulties of the storm and finally won a brilliant victory.

So a singer of the times appeared at the top of the mountain. He represented the heroic sons and daughters of the motherland and sang praises to the Yellow River. We should follow his example and be as great and strong as him.

In front of Asian giants, national poets have a nostalgic mood. He cried to the Yellow River giant about the disaster in our country. He saw the giant wake up, set off his turbulent waves, issued his crazy cry, and responded to the songs of fighting all over the country.

On the east bank of the Yellow River, fertile fields are thousands of miles away, and men, women and children are happy. Once the violent enemy invades, it will bring about crazy killings, separation of wives and children, and desolation everywhere.

Two exiled villagers met by chance on the edge of the Yellow River. They each told their own destiny and finally embarked on the road of common struggle.

However, his wife, a rural woman, lost her husband and children and was ravaged by wild animals. On a rainy night, she sneaked to the edge of the Yellow River, gave a miserable cry and threw herself into the rolling waves of the Yellow River.

At this time, in the east of Hebei, among the mountains and green tents, the wave of revenge is rolling up in all directions, and the outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese nation are fighting to defend the Yellow River and the motherland.

Roar, Yellow River! Send a warning signal of fighting to the oppressed people all over China and the oppressed people all over the world! On behalf of 50,000 people, we shouted for the final victory of the motherland.

(Originally published in The Yellow River Cantata, Chongqing Life Bookstore in August 1939)

Appreciation of Yellow River Chorus

Creative background:

Xian Xinghai's return to China was deeply painful for the nation's peril, and he knew the sufferings of the people. At the critical juncture of national peril, he stood in the forefront of national struggle. He is convinced that the China * * * production party is the mainstay of the Chinese nation, and he joined the China * * * production party. For the sake of national liberation and "roaring for the war of resistance", he wrote songs with a vertical pen. 1939, he went to visit the young poet in his hospital bed, listened to him recite Ode to the Yellow River, and told the magnificent scene of the roaring and flowing Yellow River. In a week and a half, I finished the score of eight movements and all the accompanying music. He wrote the musical epic of the Chinese nation in this era.

Chapter function:

The "Overture" played by the orchestra gave a very distinctive description of the whole song, and the effect of the orchestra was rich in color. Music depicts the will and strength of the people and symbolizes the lofty and great national spirit: several themes are intertwined through development and form the climax of the overture.

Song of the Yellow River Boatman adopts the genre form of labor bugle, showing the vivid images of dark clouds, stormy waves and boatmen struggling with storms, and showing the excellent quality of Chinese people who are hardworking and will surely reach the other side of victory. The nine songs of Yellow River Dengda Coarse Mine are shaped in the form of lead singer and chorus, which has a strong flavor of life and artistic appeal. As the first movement of chorus, The Yellow River Boatman Song shows us the first act of this epic.

The tenor solo Ode to the Yellow River is a passionate ode symbolizing the motherland with the Yellow River, full of unrestrained feelings. The first part sings the majestic posture of the Yellow River with steady rhythm and broad breath. The second part eulogizes the splendid culture of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years with passionate melody, and enthusiastically eulogizes the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation.

How the Water of the Yellow River Moves Out of Heaven is a ballad-like lyric ballad, Huangshui Ballad, which is simple in tone, beautiful and moving. The first part describes the flowing water of the Yellow River and the beautiful and quiet life of Chinese children. The second part of the theme is profound and painful, describing the tragic scene of the separation of the Japanese invaders. The music ended in a low mood, which is unforgettable for a long time.

Duihue Song, as a folk ditty, is kind and full of local flavor. Through the narrative duet form and concise technique, the effect is very good, describing the tragic experience of the people under the Japanese aggressors after the collapse of the country.

The Yellow River Complaint tells a story of a woman who was ravaged by the Japanese invaders and lost her husband and children, leaving her last wish of "settling her blood debt" and throwing herself into the arms of the Yellow River. Chorus, followed by "Defending the Yellow River", shows the heroism of guerrilla fighters and is a magnificent battle March of the people's war scene. The words "Longgelonggelonggelong" come one after another, and the magnificent scene and optimistic national spirit come to the fore.

The mixed chorus "Roar, Yellow River" is the finale and the climax of the whole chorus. Several important basic themes that have appeared before have been fully displayed. Angry emotions, the horn of battle, firm rhythm and full chorus pushed the music to a climax with great momentum, and the work ended in the surging waves played by the band and the swallowing of mountains and rivers by the eight-part chorus.

After listening to sigh with emotion:

After listening to the Yellow River Chorus, I think every Chinese son and daughter will be excited! The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation. Listening to the Yellow River Chorus again, I feel the roaring power of the Chinese nation in difficulties. I can't help thinking of the Chinese national spirit. China is a country with more than 5,000 years of splendid civilization, and our great nation is an indomitable and self-reliant nation. Since the Opium War, the Chinese nation, unwilling to be humiliated, has driven out the invaders with the Great Wall of flesh and blood and composed a series of tragic war songs. Today, loving and serving the motherland, building the motherland into a prosperous country and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are the lofty ideals of every China people and the essence of patriotism. Chinese national spirit is a historical category, which has different specific contents in different social development periods and stages. In the history of our country, the Chinese national spirit has always been a banner to mobilize and inspire the people of China to unite and struggle. It is the backbone and courage that every true Chinese descendant should have, and it is the spiritual pillar of the people of all ethnic groups!

People of that era, you are the Yellow River and the immortal Yellow River song.

Piano Concerto & gt With grandeur, shouting and calling, it shocks everyone in China with flesh and blood, and praises every unyielding Chinese son and daughter. The Chinese nation is a great nation because it has a great people.

When listening to the Yellow River Chorus, my mood is magnificent, and my ears are full of excitement and mixed feelings. Many people know Xian Xinghai, but ignore The Yellow River Cantata's lyricist-William. J Guang. As soon as he was born, he was like the rushing Yellow River, with rough waves and twists and turns. Death is like the collapse of a snowy mountain. Without it, it's over. He wrote this moving movement with his life and passion. Poetic language and passionate melody are perfectly integrated. That kind of harmony is firm, just like the people of China who are closely United. They are hardworking, brave, optimistic, fearless, strong, great and invincible.
