As promised, Xiao Xianrou, will you play the suona in the haunted house?

Chapter 90 A hundred birds sing together, the pinnacle of art

"Hundred birds facing the phoenix?"

In the rehearsal room of the Puhai Chinese Orchestra, Miao Qing and the others frowned when they heard the title of the song they had prepared over the weekend.

Of course they have heard of "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" because it is a piece that the folk music department will definitely mention in class.

However, the real famous song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" has long been lost, and what has been handed down is just another version. Miao Qing and others also heard it in class.

To be honest, although the music is good, the requirements for suona players are also very high.

Being able to imitate the sounds of ten kinds of birds is already considered extraordinary.

Tian Fang also played in the group, but she could only imitate six or seven kinds of bird sounds. After listening to Miao Qing and others, they felt that it was not much different from other folk suona songs.

"We've all heard this piece before. It shouldn't be very artistic, right?"

Erhu Tuanzi was a little disapproving because the famous song had been lost for a long time, so Miao Qing and the others assumed that the version they were talking about on the weekend was the version they had heard.

However, at this moment, Suona Tian Fang suddenly became excited and said loudly: "No, you haven't heard it."

"Because the piece I played and the piece you heard only has ten birds, and it doesn't deserve to be called "Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" at all. It is just a simplified version that has been handed down."

"Only a piece that can imitate the sounds of a hundred kinds of birds at the same time can truly be called "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix."

There was a sudden exclamation in the rehearsal room.

Imitate the sounds of a hundred birds at the same time?
How is that possible?
At this time, Tian Fang stared at the weekend with blazing eyes, and asked with a trembling voice: "Since you dare to say that art is the pinnacle, then only the truly famous song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" can achieve it."

After Tian Fang finished speaking, Miao Qing and the others looked over.

If it is really the legendary and lost famous song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix", it will definitely be the artistic pinnacle of folk music.

Are they going to witness history?
Being stared at by seven fiery eyes, Weekend had no choice but to speak.

"Tiantian is right, the real "Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" can indeed imitate the sounds of a hundred kinds of birds..."

"However, this is not the reason why "A Hundred Birds Pay Attitude to the Phoenix" can be called the pinnacle of art."

Speaking of this over the weekend, I suddenly paused.

At this time, Miao Qing and the others' curiosity had been completely aroused. As soon as he paused, someone immediately asked: "What's the reason?"

Weekend suddenly laughed and said: "Because the real "Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" is not entirely a folk song. It is a piece with a grander narrative and fuller emotions."

"From the first cry when you were born, to when you are buried a hundred years later, it can blow your whole life."

The rehearsal room suddenly became extremely quiet.

Everyone had a trace of doubt in their eyes.

A piece of music that starts from the moment the baby falls to the ground and plays until the end of his life and he is buried in peace?

One piece of music can last a lifetime. Is there really any piece of music that can do this?
Even Suona Tian Fang looked at the weekend with some confusion at this time, because it was the first time she heard such a statement.

After thinking for a while, no one could figure out what kind of song it was, so they could only look up at the weekend.

When the time comes to go on stage, Miao Qing and the others need to cooperate so that they can understand the true meaning of the music and it will also help them practice.

Weekend also took the trouble to start explaining.

"The real "Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix" has three sections in total. Some can be used for red events, and some can be used for white events."

"The first section is called Phoenix Nirvana. This section represents the Phoenix's imminent Nirvana. Hundreds of birds are coming to mourn. It can be used for innocent purposes."

"The second paragraph is called Eternal Life from the Fire. This paragraph talks about the phoenix being reborn from the fire, and the birds chirping in celebration. It can be used for red events such as the full moon of a newborn baby."

"The third section is called Phoenix Dance for Nine Heavens. This section is about the phoenix being reborn and hundreds of birds coming to worship. It can be used for marriages."

"From birth, to marriage, to burial, the most important time periods in a person's life can be played with this piece of music. Doesn't this mean that one's life has been completed?"

Everyone in the rehearsal room was stunned. This was the first time they heard that the real famous song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" had so many details.

Thousands of years of pipa and ten thousand years of zither, one suona can be played for a lifetime.

Such a realm, just hearing Zhou Zhou say this, makes people feel that they are yearning for it.

Miao Qing and the others originally thought that was the end, but they didn't expect that they would continue to speak after taking a short break on the weekend.

"Actually, there is a very important reason why the song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" was lost."

"what reason?"

Now even Miao Qing, who was usually the calmest, couldn't help but start asking questions.

Not to mention other people, they want to bite him, this guy is so appetizing.

"The song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix" used to be played by the suona troupe only when the most virtuous and respected local people passed away."

"Moreover, when the suona team in the past was passing on the art, they would also test the moral character of the students. Only those disciples with good moral character would be passed on to them by the master."

"Usually, in each generation of disciples, it will only be passed on to one person, and it will be passed down from generation to generation."

After Miao Qing and the others listened, they suddenly realized that if it were passed down from generation to generation, it would indeed be easily lost once a certain generation happens to be in troubled times.

China's thousands of years of history have been marked by turbulent times, and many artistic treasures were lost in these troubled times. "But if you say so, only people with high moral standards are worthy of playing this piece of music..."

Weekend smiled, knowing what they meant, and said, "We are not playing for Wei Yongcheng. He is not worthy of this piece of music."

"We are playing for the traditional folk music that has died. I have mourned the folk music before, and this time I will send it to burial."

After explaining it this way over the weekend, it became logical.

"After listening to Zhou Xie's words today, it really opened our eyes. It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to in a piece of music."

Miao Qing and the others felt a little emotional, Zhou Zhen's mouth was really good at talking, and a piece of music told by him was as exciting as telling a story.

Weekend smiled and said: "That's not true. We Chinese people pay attention to etiquette and music. We should put etiquette first and then music. Every famous song appears for its own reason."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xing's eyes became a little deeper, which is why he loves folk music.

In China's thousands of years of history, every famous song has a story that can make people sing or cry.

The suona has "A Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix", the erhu has "Two Springs Reflect the Moon", the guzheng has "Mountains and Flowing Water" and so on...

But what makes the weekend a bit regretful is that these famous songs have been lost on Blue Star, causing today's folk music circle to be controlled by some silverfish.

……

at the same time.

In a secluded private room.

Wei Yongcheng took out a box of tea bricks and handed it to Ding Chuan.

"President Ding, I heard that you like tea bricks. I specially got a box from a friend. If you like it, I will give it to you."

"How can you be so embarrassed? Lao Wei, you are serious. What do you want me to say about you..."

Ding Chuan shook his head, weighed the packaging box a few times with his hands, and his face immediately became beaming.

"As long as you like it, as long as you like it." Wei Yongcheng saw Ding Chuan putting away the packaging box, and then he said: "The Chime Bell Award... let President Ding worry about it."

Ding Chuan nodded, just poured a cup of tea for Wei Yongcheng and said: "Drink tea, the heat is up, any tea is good."

Wei Yongcheng also heard Xian's elegance and did not bring up the topic again. He only talked about some interesting things in the industry.

After drinking a pot of tea, Wei Yongcheng said goodbye and left.

After returning to the hotel where he was staying, Wei Yongcheng called his two apprentices and brother-in-law to the room.

"The music festival starts in a few days. You two should practice hard. As long as you do what I say, I can guarantee that you two will win the Chime Award."

"One more thing. I have already found a place for Puhai's training class. I will leave the enrollment to you, Luzi."

When Wei Yongcheng said this, he seemed to have seen a lot of money waving to him.

However, Wei Yongcheng also spent a lot of money for this music festival. He said that the box of tea bricks given to Ding Chuan was worth over [-] yuan.

Moreover, in order to ensure that no one would gossip about them at the Chime Bell Awards, he specially recruited two performance talents from other places and called them his apprentices.

If the apprentice can win the Chime Award, then his status as a master will be even more valuable. By then, there will be a large number of students in the training class.

Now he has arranged everything and is just waiting for the music festival to start.

Time, in a blink of an eye, it is the day of the music festival.

He Luting Concert Hall is full every day these days.

The first three days of the music festival are dedicated to distinguished guests invited by the program committee.

On the first day, Sickert, chief conductor of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, teamed up with the Puhai Symphony Orchestra to bring a sonata and a symphony to the audience.

After all, he is currently one of the top five conductors in the world. Under his command, the musicians of the Puhai Symphony Orchestra performed the two pieces of music very well and received warm applause from the audience.

The second day was a special session by professors from the Juilliard School of Music, and the third day was a symposium by Gramophone columnist and music critic Evante.

Three days later, it was finally the main program day of the music festival, a folk music performance.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the program list has been announced.

"Come on, come on, the protagonist is finally going to appear."

"Damn it, he was the finale of the weekend. The folk music circle seems to take him seriously."

"Why don't I think it's a good thing? After the finale performance, the Chime Awards will be presented immediately. The judges will definitely be more harsh on the finale show."

"Yeah, I forgot about the Chime Bell Award. If I don't win this weekend, wouldn't I be stepped into the mud by people in the folk music circle?"

"'Hundred Birds Pay Attention to the Phoenix'? Why did you come up with this piece at the music festival on the weekend?"

"What's wrong with this song? Someone come and explain."

"There's nothing wrong with the music. It's just a very ordinary folk suona song. Even if he can play ten kinds of bird sounds, it will be difficult for him to win the Chime Bell Award."
