Chapter 411 The Fifth Movement The Angel Tells Me (2): The Poet's Love (Two in One)

"Did I lose?"

The sound of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground sounded, and An stepped out from behind lightly. Her voice was still clear, and her smile was calm and pure.

"...Yes." Master Luckert said in a low voice, and the cap of the pen in his hand had been closed.

As the main judge, he can only repeat the facts seen by more than 4000 pairs of eyes in the audience at this moment:

"Everyone's bouquets have been folded, so that's how it turned out."

"That's it." Miss Nightingale nodded lightly, her clothes fluttering and drawing the remaining blue-purple threads in the dark night.

After singing "The Beautiful Mill Girl", she pulled the audience's support rate to 40% to 40%, and Master Luckert and dozens of judges took the lead in expressing their opinions, which once made her shine better than Miss Cuckoo who sang "Skull Song".

But with the release of the second round of "The Sacrament of Pleasing", Miss Cuckoo directly harvested all the remaining love, so the situation of audience folding flowers became 40% to 60%, and the situation of judges folding flowers changed. It became 13 to 35.

Although Master Luckert, as the chief judge, still has a bonus of one bundle worth ten bundles, the situation cannot be reversed.

It's hard to say that Miss Cuckoo's first-mover advantage in the second and third rounds played a role, because the intention of the audience judges who have not expressed their opinions is to wait to fold the bouquet to "The Sacrament of Pleasing", Even if Miss Nightingale was in front, they might still wait behind.

With a smile on her face, Renilla stood a few meters away, waiting for the staff to officially announce this year's famous singer. The crimson flame was burning on her body.

"Then, please consider whether you still need to sing?"

Lückert asked again, and the rest of the judges looked normal and did not express any objection.

From the perspective of the formal procedure of the competition rules, the result of each round of competition will naturally not be officially determined until all the contestants participating in that round have finished their performances. Miss Nightingale has the right to abstain immediately, and she also has the right to let the audience and judges witness her finish. Right this round.

It's just that in the current situation, the final result has no room to be changed.

Do you still need to sing? ...

Miss Nightingale lifted her skirt, bit her lips lightly and said:
"If accompanied by the teacher, I would like to finish singing and then finish."

Judges, you look at me, and I look at you.

Miss Nightingale's teacher...

In fact, not only the judges, but most of the audience did not pay attention to where Scheler was sitting, and they were not even sure whether he was here.

After Walter realized the "Song of Awakening", everyone pushed open the door of the rehearsal room and ran away, which has become a famous scene in Tia City this year.

"If you have this idea, you should have communicated earlier." Cardinal Carlestini on the judging panel laughed, "It's been more than four or five hours, and the finals didn't restrict your piano accompaniment candidates, so now we're going to It is not a waste of effort to replace someone with a higher level..."

"My main concern is not to win the championship." Ann's expression was cheerful, polite and calm. After remembering the teacher's usual style of doing things, he smiled and shook his head, "I guess, forget it, it's okay—"

But the next moment, the expression on the girl's face suddenly froze.

I saw a vague black figure standing up slowly in the right corner at the front of the stage.

"Then accompany you."

Fanning, with his white clothes open, walked out of the lightless darkness.

The rustling of the audience ceased for a moment.

Teacher you...

For some reason, An suddenly felt a sweet soreness pass through her nose.

Although she is cheerful and optimistic, she is still in a good mood, although the current situation is not a serious situation such as a "crisis" or "difficulty" that needs to be rescued...

But when those short words were uttered from that familiar and melancholy voice, she felt as if she was hugged by a hero who descended from the sky in a fairy tale!
Ten seconds later, when Fan Ning stepped onto the stage from the side steps and walked to a middle position, the Southern audience finally started to give enthusiastic applause.

Listen to one more Scheler work before the show ends.

In any case, this is also a very happy thing, isn't it?

The work is not yet over, and the judges are still sitting upright, fulfilling the attitude they should show within the scope of their duties.

Renilla, on the other hand, took a few steps back bored, and sat on the chair at the junction of light and darkness.

I knew it would be better to let her sing first, anyway, the result will not be too different, and now I always feel that it is because I bully others first... Miss Cuckoo glanced helplessly at the audience who was holding the bent mishap. Listeners with colorful bouquets.

"Teacher, have you been listening?" Ann brushed past him.

This was the only communication between the two tonight.

"Yes." Fan Ning didn't stop in his footsteps, and his face continued to be thoughtful just now.

In the eyes of familiar people, he also looks the same as when he was traveling. After walking to the piano, he threw the canvas bag at the foot of the piano, and put the "Illyrian" in his arms on the stage steadily.

Walter stood up with a face full of shame and moved away. He always felt that he had dragged his junior sister from winning the championship. He always felt that if his piano could be at the same level as the conductor, such a result might not have happened.

Fanning did not notice his expression.

Didn't even bother to seriously adjust the seat and pedals.

In the torrent of thoughtful inspiration, his right hand stroked his fingers directly on the #C key, and his left hand immediately brought out a series of elegant and sentimental arpeggios.

"Oh my god, I..." Miss Nightingale's whole body trembled slightly.

The wafting breeze is cool and hot on the skin, exciting and hard to touch. It is completely different from Walter's solemn and balanced style from the Janus music family!
For most citizens of Tia, every time they hear about the poet Scheler, they are as a behind-the-scenes composer. In fact, few people listen to his performance or singing, so many people are in the I wondered if he was "strengthening strengths and avoiding weaknesses". But today's move directly disrupted the breathing rhythm of the audience, judges, and even the singer, Miss Nightingale!
The pre-communicated titles appeared again in the array of electric lights in the rear: vocal suite "Love of a Poet", Spring ([-]), "In Bright and Bright May".

"Love is a question."

It was only in the third section that at least 50 expert listeners thought of this classic teaching directly.

This slightly poignant and sentimental melody played by Scheler is undoubtedly #f minor, but the first chord he used was not the main chord, but the II chord of #g minor!Afterwards, the music alternated between level II and level V chords, and the reluctance to return to the main chord was reassuring!
Obviously what the piano weaves is a slender and shimmering net of soft harmony, and obviously the poet sinks in the blooming flowers and bursting love in May, but such harmony arrangement is undoubtedly "a question".

It seems that at the beginning of the story, the poet felt uneasy and doubtful about this love.

Miss Nightingale evened out her chaotic breathing, with a sweet smile on her face.

From the heart to an extremely high degree.

Holding the corner of the piano, she gently patted and sang:
"In bright and bright May,
When all the buds bloom,

love, then,
It grows in me too. "

The flowing sixteenth notes divide the voice into two parts, connecting the whispers of the lovers in the spring breeze.

And the color interweaving of size decomposition and chord is like the fragrance and light and shadow under the shade of lush trees.

"In bright and bright May,
When all the birds sing,

I revealed to her,
The thoughts and longings in my heart..."

At the end of the first song, Fanning's fingers and pedals were not released immediately, and the harmony stayed in the unresolved dominant seventh chord, which seemed to indicate that the poet's love would also have such an unsatisfactory ending.

"It's over." Many listeners who had been stabbed before, because of this dominant seventh chord, had a bad feeling in their hearts again.

The actual duel is over, so there is no need for this kind of thing!

The next moment, Fanning lightly touched the keys on the piano, and played half-tuplet notes that seemed to be jumping but not jumping, and seemed to be connected but not connected, like the sound of broken tears falling on the ground one after another. Miss Nightingale immediately raised her breath and started to beat. :

"From my tears, countless flowers bloomed;

My sigh melts into the song of the nightingale.

if you love me darling,
I will send you countless flowers, and the song of the nightingale will sound at your window. "

Spring ([-]), "Blooming Flowers Burst from My Tears", the combination of quarter and eighth notes is long and then short. Against the background of Fanning's legato lines, it seems that tears have been swirling in the protagonist's eyes for a long time , Finally couldn't help it and fell to the ground with a "pop".

The atmosphere was slightly gloomy and gloomy, but immediately, Fan Ning hit a series of beating staccato sixteenth notes, and the girl in the blue skirt sang a series of lively sentences like tongue twisters with a smile on her lips:

"The rose, the lily, the dove, and the sun, I loved them with joy.

But I don't love them any more, I only love the petite, graceful and pure one! "

What makes people swaying and amazing is the intimate cooperation between the piano and the human voice: all the fast syllables of Miss Nightingale are sung in the rests played by the piano!

——The piano occupies two sixteenth note positions with a "boom", and the vocals occupy the other two positions with a "thump", just like two blazing and beating hearts embracing together!
"All love comes from her, she is the rose, the lily, the dove and the sun,

I love her alone, that petite, graceful and pure being! "

In the third song "Rose, Lily, Dove and Sun", the poet thinks that his lover is everything in the world. In front of his beloved, those roses, lilies, doves and sun that he once loved have gradually faded, and he There is only the elegant, pure and sweet angel in my heart.

That is the rose and lily in his heart, the concentrated expression of all good things.

This unique and sincere way of confession makes all listeners can't help but feel excited!

Some listeners already feel regretful.

On impulse, the bouquet was folded too early!

Fanning played a long chord that lasted for a full bar, and then made a more regular stylistic repetition. Accompanied by this, Miss Nightingale sang a ballad similar to the recitative in an opera.

Spring ([-]), "When I Stare into Your Eyes".

Her melody does not have too many complex rhythms, the repetition of unisons and the up and down thirds are similar to the tone of speech, and the way of articulating words one by one seems to be muttering to herself:

"When I look into your eyes,
My sorrow and pain melt away.

when i kiss your lips,

My pain was healed.

When I stick to your chest,

I feel seized by wonderful bliss,

But when you whisper 'I love you'

But I couldn't help crying in grief. "

The human voice has been narrating like an inner monologue, and the piano part is also cooperating smoothly, but when the singing part is about to end, there are sporadic jumps under Fanning's fingertips.

Miss Nightingale was originally standing facing the keyboard, but at this moment she changed her hand to the edge of the piano, and turned her face even more sideways to the audience.

Her heart was pounding violently, and an inexplicable sense of fear about the future surfaced in her heart, and when the piano came to the end, the skipping playing method had completely taken over the dominant position, and it kept weakening and slowing down until it disappeared.

A considerable part of the audience really regretted it, and there were even several judges who regretted it.

These people are not considered to have the closest relationship with Renilla, but they just made choices because of the forces or genres they belonged to, or the impulse to be teased just now.

The love between a sincere girl and a sincere poet...

But what's the use of regretting?

Next year, next year.

"By the way, why is it always spring?" Master Luckert, who had been listening intently with a pen, suddenly asked.

The titles of the four songs in a row just now were displayed in the format of spring ([-]), "xxx", spring ([-]), "xxx".

"I do not know."

"Mr. Walter told the background signalman."

"But it seems that the submitted Scheler score only has the following titles."

The three famous singer students Kuci, Nicolino and Schmids next to them were not very sure about their answers.

In fact, in order to help students understand the title music, Fan Ning adopted an interpretation method from a musicological point of view in his previous life: the 16 divertimento "Poet's Love" can be regarded as the four stages of the protagonist's love, divided into four stages in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Composed of four poems.

The four songs in spring represent the beautiful first sight and the budding of love, and since summer——

Fan Ning suddenly bent down, stepped on the pedal deeply and lightly tapped his fingertips, playing a long series of undulating beautiful sounds.

The sustain lines of the high and low voices extend like blood vessels, while the broken chords filled in the middle voice are like boiling blood surging in it.

Summer ([-]), "May My Soul Drunk".

Compared with her daily life, today's An wears slightly heavier eye makeup. At this moment, as her eyelashes flutter during singing, a few crystal dewdrops stick to them unobtrusively.

"I will put my soul,

Dip into the lily's cup,
Let the lily spit softly,

A song about my lover.

The song will tremble and throb,
Like a kiss from the lips,

she gave me,
At that wonderful hour. "

Summer is the time when poets fall in love, and this song can be regarded as the most emotional release in the whole set!
But Miss Nightingale, whose nose was slightly red, never forgot the Leise (singing softly) that the teacher marked before the score.

She restrained her emotions from boiling with her blood.

Instead, he is willing to dance with the piano drunk, letting the voice embrace the gorgeous and poignant sound stream.

"What's the matter, little girl?..."

After all, the distance between the audience was too far. At first, it was the sharp-eyed judges who saw something different in her pupils.

And when Fanning performed the melancholy ending, as if to be immortalized forever, the audience at the front of the row finally realized that something was wrong.

The girl whose dress dragged the blue-purple starlight was obviously smiling softly, but there were crystal dewdrops on her eyelashes.

"Why is Miss Nightingale crying?"

"The little girl is crying, I guess she still cares about winning the championship..."

"I would cry too."

There are many music fans who loved her at first, or whose love and obsession quietly turned to her later, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken at this moment.

"Oh, how can I do this?"

"You sigh now! Just now I asked you to fold flowers with me, and you just wanted to say that "The Sacrament of Delighting People" sounds good."

In the dimly lit opera hall, the audience and judges were in mixed moods.

But at this moment, no one noticed the corner of the seat on the front right.

Where Fan Ning was sitting before going on stage, on the right side of the small drinking table, in a cylindrical wooden box slightly below the water cup, there was a faint pink light flickering.

Inside is the "Fragrant Flower Bouquet" that Fan Ning threw into it after bending it very early!
