Chapter 1229: Music critic

"Mr. Hillbrand, please, your seat is in the front row ... Mr. Anotovich, long time no see ... Mrs. Heinze, you are so charming today!" Youyou Ma in the concert hall The agent Banana is helping Shen Long entertain the guests. She acquainted with these special guests and brought them to the best position.
In the front row, except Ma Xiaojun, Ma Youcheng, and Kitaro, they are a special group of people. They are all famous New York music critics. Shen Long specifically asked these people to be here. At a high price, Chris felt a little bit distressed because they did n’t have to spend money to buy tickets when they came to the show, and all of them occupied a good position that sold the highest price.
But these are worth it, because Shen Long knows that he is only a little famous among ordinary people. He is only recognized by Yo-Yo Ma and Kitaro in the circle. If he wants to formally enter the classical music circle in New York, these alone are not enough. of.
These music critics hold power, and their articles will be published in many classical music magazines. If they can give Shen Long some praise, then his path will be broader; but to get praise is not only good for music. , Shen Long is not a pure white, so they specially invited them.
And let Banana, who has a lot of contacts in the classical music circle, entertain them and give them the best position, which can be said to be enough. These methods seem to respond well, whether they are genuine or not, at least these faces There are smiles on it.
When it was time for the performance, the reporters eloquently introduced the background of the performance, boasting Shen Long and Guo Yan as famous Chinese musicians, and with big names such as Ma Youyou, the audience gave enthusiastic applause. .
Then Shen Long took Guo Yan's hand to the stage. This time he replaced the wooden flute with a wooden flute. Guo Yan still held the violin, Ma Youyou was in charge of the cello, and the rest of the orchestra members were in charge of brass, oboe, Guzheng and other musical instruments.
The first song began, it was Shen Long who made the famous "Liu Zhu Violin Concerto" at the Lincoln Art Center. On the soft string vibrato background, the flute blew a beautiful and moving bird-like melody. Then, The oboe, with a soft and lyrical introduction theme, shows a picture of beautiful weather, bright spring, pink willow green by the bridge, and flowers blooming.
Very good tune, but the performance is relatively average. Although YO-YO has controlled his performance, except for the violin and flute, other band members can only barely keep up, but overall it is a qualified performance ... Music critics are evaluating in their hearts.
After more than twenty minutes of performance, the mood of the audience also fluctuated with the music. When the last note fell, many people's eyes burst into tears, and then a warm applause rang.
"The next song is a newly created track by Mr. Wang Qiming. It is inspired by Andersen's fairy tale" Nightingale "... This is a track with a strong Chinese style ..." The screenperson came to the stage again, setting the background of the song. After recounting it, and then retreating, Shen Long still took the bamboo flute, and with him replaced him as a player playing western flute.
The faint string music sounded far away, and the Chinese bamboo flute began to blow out the soft and long melody, just like the moon night, in the empty field, the nightingale began to sing; this section ended with the bamboo flute imitating the nightingale ’s tweet, and then the clear The piano joined in, with a little hesitation, playing cautiously; like a person who had never slept late at night, he heard the singing of the nightingale from afar, and began to look for it, but was afraid to disturb the nightingale.
The western flute sounded again after the piano was finished, just like the nightingale heard a little movement and then silenced for a moment, then began to sing again, a slight ensemble between the pianos, slowly, the string music also joined in and merged with the piano There was a torrent, and the sound of the western flute was still clear and bright, like a swallow flying over a river. The singing like a nightingale attracted more and more people to listen and appreciate, sigh and praise, and the nightingale sang It's getting better ...
A completely new piece of music, with a very special style, makes people feel refreshed. The music critics listened to their eyes, and compared to the popular music industry that has constantly innovated in style, the classical music industry is really old-fashioned. People are still playing the repertoire of classical music masters, and there are too few composers who can produce excellent new works.
Not to mention this completely new style of track, they tried to start analyzing, um, this should be based on the addition of oriental elements in the style of Western music, similar to some passages in "Turandot" ...
In fact, this piece is the work of the Greek musician Yani-Cryssomalis, a western musical work full of Chinese classical music.
When Yani was on vacation on the Italian seashore ~ ​​EbookFREE.me ~ Every evening, a little bird would sing in front of his window. Yanni was fascinated by the song of the little bird. Knowing the melody and rhythm, he wanted to compose a piece of music for this little bird, but he could n’t find a suitable instrument to imitate the bird ’s cry; later, a friend of Yani introduced him to the Chinese flute and gave him Demonstration performance, Yani immediately remembered the little bird in Italy, he felt that the Chinese flute imitated the bird's tweet could not be more appropriate, and quickly wrote this Chinese-flavored "Nightingale".
Shen Long ’s selection of music for this concert was meaningful. Once he came up, he first played classic Oriental music such as
Liuzhu Violin Concerto
, which is to show his identity and also to tell all the audiences present. China also has high-quality music works.
Then came out Yanni's "Nightingale", which is different from "Silk Road". After all, "Nightingale" is an oriental style music created by Western musicians. First of all, this song will make the audience immersed in the West from an early age. Music critics in music are more acceptable.
Sure enough, when the song ended, the front row critics applauded first. They knew better than the ordinary audience what the song meant. This is a song that blends Eastern and Western musical elements. Western Classical Music also needs to absorb the essence of different musical styles. Such an attempt is worthy of encouragement, and the quality of this song is indeed very high, isn't it?
Shen Long showed a smile, he also looked at the reaction of these people, which shows that his strategy is working, this is a good start, then let us continue to perform!
