From wilderness to palace

Chapter 218
For the Imperial Conservatory of Music, the New Year's Concert held every year has obviously higher standards than the New Year's Concert.And the music repertoire that is being rehearsed this year is very likely to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, provided that it needs to be reviewed by the program group.

It is said that 'the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys'. For the Imperial Conservatory of Music, they naturally know how beneficial the college's program on the Spring Festival Gala is to enhance the reputation of the college.Because of this, they attach great importance to this Spring Festival concert.

In the past, there were not many new repertoires that the academy could produce.On a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, although there are some traditional repertoires.But for many people, there is no doubt that new things are preferred.As for the new pieces of ancient music, the Conservatory of Music is still not good enough.

Following Liu Yaozu's continuous succession, Qin Zixuan handed over the "created" restored ancient songs to the Imperial Conservatory of Music for free.With these new repertoires, Imperial Conservatory of Music will be inferior to other music academies in China in terms of ancient music.

In addition, the Department of Ancient Music, which was not valued by the academy earlier, is also proud this time.In addition, nowadays, the country has begun to advocate the construction of spiritual civilization.As the quintessence of ancient culture, ancient music naturally needs to be vigorously developed and promoted!

Under the guidance of Gu Xian and others, Liu Yaozu also appeared in the rehearsal hall.Looking at the student musicians who were playing, Liu Yaozu also signaled not to interrupt.Following Gu Xian and the others, quietly stayed by and listened, and then chatted with Qin Zixuan from time to time.

When the repertoire was over, Liu Yaozu also applauded respectfully: "Director Gu, this should be the ancient song Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night, right?"

"Well! This is also one of the few ancient songs re-arranged for the band in our college. This time I asked Xiaoqin to invite you over because I wanted to rehearse your latest song Liang Zhu. I personally think this ancient song is better. Good for a band."

Facing what Gu Xian said, Liu Yaozu thought for a while and said: "Blessings of Love? This is a new song. If you don't preheat it, aren't you afraid that the performance will be cold? Nowadays, people in China, people who know this story should not Is it a lot?"

"It's really not much! But the effect you played with the flute on the Internet last time was still loved by many netizens. Coupled with your advance knowledge, we have also done more digging and understanding of this ancient love tragedy story.

I dare not say anything else, at least I think that with the Guzheng score provided by you, if you add other ancient instruments to play together, I believe the effect will be more shocking.And this year's Spring Festival Gala, we also want to choose it as a participating program. "

To everyone's surprise, Liu Yaozu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Isn't it just a guzheng performance? If it's a large-scale concerto, I'm afraid the time will be extended? The Spring Festival Gala stage can give you such a long time? "

Although modern young people basically don’t pay much attention to the Spring Festival Gala.But for Liu Yaozu, he at least knew that the Spring Festival Gala program had strict time limits.A "Butterfly Lovers" concerto should take at least ten minutes to start, right?

At least he has relevant video materials from the teaching videos instilled by the system.And this video material is more than half an hour long.On a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, how can it be possible to give the Conservatory of Music half an hour of performance time?
Hearing Liu Yaozu's inquiry, Gu Xian also hurriedly said: "That's definitely not the case. We will only select a short section of the essence, and try to control the time within 10 minutes. But the specific result will have to wait for the Spring Festival Gala review team to come to decide."

"That's true! In fact, the story of Liang Zhu and this ancient song really have great potential to be tapped. Even if it is played with Western instruments, this is a classic piece that can be handed down from generation to generation.

Nowadays, foreign repertoire seems to be used for domestic Western musical instrument grading exams.In my opinion, your college can definitely use ancient music in innovative and rearranged ways for students who are learning Western musical instruments to practice.

Musicians have national boundaries, but music has no borders.As long as the music is pleasant and beautiful, foreigners will come to learn these ancient music pieces from us in the future.Even by letting them know that we have a longer history with musical instruments than they do.

To some extent, it not only promotes our national culture, but also lets the world know how brilliant our ancient music was.Even when these tracks were born, they were still barbaric times.This kind of cultural heritage is also something they cannot have. "

From Qin Zixuan, Liu Yaozu has also heard that many experts and professors who play ancient musical instruments seem to reject many Western musical instruments.Correspondingly, those who play Western musical instruments look down on so-called national musical instruments.

But in Liu Yaozu's view, this kind of confrontation is completely unnecessary.Musicians who are truly pursuing must know how to learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses.At least one thing Liu Yaozu knew very well, Liang Zhu's performance on the violin is also very beautiful.

Hearing Liu Yaozu's words, the group of people also felt that there was some truth, but soon an accompanying old professor asked: "Mr. Liu, will this make our ancient music repertoire lose its original flavor in the future?"

"Professor Lin, what is music used for? As an ordinary person, I think music is used for entertainment if you say it more vulgarly. If you want to say it more elegantly, you can talk about Tao wild sentiment or improve personal taste.

It can be said that there are ten thousand words and ten thousand words. Whether the music is good or not depends on someone listening to it first.The only way to let more people know that we have no shortage of good music, and that there are even good music handed down thousands of years ago, what will others think of us?
Especially for those who admire the so-called nobility of Western music, is it difficult for our national musical instruments to reach the level of elegance?I don’t think so. You must know that in ancient times, royal families and courts had specialized musicians, singers and dancers! "

As Liu Yaozu made such a call, Gu Xian and others also felt that there was some truth to it.Fortunately, this dispute did not last long before being interrupted by Gu Xian.Sticking to the rules is sometimes a good thing, but sometimes it may not be a good thing.

At least one thing Guxian knows very well, that is, ancient music is gradually dying out in China and losing its market.If more and more people in the future only know Western musical instruments and Western songs, where will the ancient folk music and musical instruments go?

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the number of students enrolled in the Department of Ancient Music in recent years has been decreasing year by year, and this hidden crisis can be seen.If these coaches do not make any changes or innovations, the Department of Ancient Music may disappear one day.

If it were someone else, they might not dare to say such things in front of these old professors.However, Liu Yaozu, the creator of the restoration of several ancient classic songs, is qualified to say these words, and these old professors must also listen and think.

If one day, there is no one to inherit and listen to them, what is the point of them adhering to these so-called ancient music rules?It has to be said that Liu Yaozu's words can be regarded as a heavy hammer against these people!
