Escape From the Library

【Music Melody-05】

It is not difficult for a music major like Qi Luoran to completely disrupt the melody of a song he has heard before. It is like encountering a question that he has done before during an exam.

The first two songs scored successfully, the countdown was 30 seconds, and the third song began to be played soon. Everyone concentrated on listening carefully.Yue Xingwen is not familiar with pure music, but he quickly noticed the strangeness of this song——

The first group A melody played sounds like a piano.The second paragraph was replaced by a violin, and the third paragraph was mixed with flute sounds?He looked at Qi Luoran with some doubts, and found that the younger brother's face was not as confident as before.

Sure enough, Qi Luoran hadn't heard the third song either!

This is troublesome.Who knows the order of the songs I haven't heard?What's more, this song is very complicated, with 8 melodies played in a row, Yue Xingwen even felt that these melodies were "incompatible".

The surrounding quieted down, and everyone turned their eyes to the little junior brother.Qi Luoran scratched his hair with a wry smile, and said in a sleepy voice, "I guess I guessed it right. The third song is an original song from the library. I have studied music for so many years, and I have never heard such a strange song."

Xu Yi sighed deeply: "Then what should we do? If even you are not sure about the sequence, we laymen don't know how to answer the questions."

Lan Yarong said: "There are countless ways to arrange and combine the eight-segment melody, so guessing will definitely not work."

Yue Xingwen walked up to the younger brother and asked calmly: "Have you discovered the rules among the eight melodies? Which one is most suitable for the beginning and which one is suitable for the ending? First pick out the beginning and the end, and then arrange the middle ones." .”

Qi Luoran nodded, looked at Yue Xingwen and said, "Brother, I can't guarantee that the answer is correct. If this question is wrong, will this class fail?"

Yue Xingwen looked back at the prompts on the big screen, and thoughtfully said: "The prompt for the rhythm level is that if you make more than 20 mistakes, you will fail the challenge and be eliminated directly. But the requirement for the melody level this time is that the order If you make 2 mistakes, you will fail the assessment, and there is no saying that you will be eliminated directly."

Jiang Pingce also said: "There are three items in the assessment of this music course, rhythm, melody, harmony, and rhythm. There are three questions in total. If you make a wrong question, you will be eliminated directly. The melody is also three questions. Since you didn't say that you will be eliminated, it should only affect the final score. If you make a wrong question, you still have a chance to save it.”

The library's system prompts, pay special attention to word difference.Assuming that if you make a wrong question in the melody part, you will be eliminated directly. There is no reason for the system not to point it out in advance.Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen patted his junior brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, we have already got two of the three questions right, you can safely and boldly answer this question according to your own ideas, even if you are wrong, we will not will blame you."

A song that I have never heard before, a messy melody, Qi Luoran may not be able to answer the questions correctly based on his own understanding and experience, and once he makes a mistake, it will affect all the students in the 183 research group. If it affects everyone, they will be eliminated and fail the course , beat back to the first floor to rebuild, then he will become a sinner!Qi Luoran's psychological pressure at this time was not normal.

But if this question is not a "life-and-death question" and there is a chance to make mistakes, he will naturally relax a lot.

Looking at Shangyue Xingwen's encouraging gaze, Qi Luoran took a deep breath and said, "Then I will judge by myself based on experience."

Yue Xingwen nodded to him.Qi Luoran closed his eyes and recalled the melody fragment just now, and explained seriously: "I also know a little about composition. The most suitable prelude for these eight melodies is the flute sound of Group F, which is soothing and long, like an introduction. It attracts the attention of the audience, and then, the tempo of the song gradually increases, and at the climax, there will be a lot of drum accompaniment, the melody becomes more and more urgent, and finally ends with the sound of flute, which seems to put an end to the story."

After he finished speaking, he looked back at everyone with apprehensive eyes: "I'm not sure if I'm right, this is just my personal understanding."

Yue Xingwen said simply: "Go and write the answer, do it according to your idea."

Qi Luoran took a deep breath, took a step forward, and rearranged the 8 notes on the screen according to his own understanding. Jumping numbers popped up on the big screen to score, and everyone held their breath nervously.

After a while, a golden "S" appeared on the screen, and at the same time there was a sentence "All 8 melodies are in the correct order"!

Qi Luoran's eyes lit up for the first time, and he clenched his fists tightly, his voice could not help trembling: "It's all right!" He had never been so nervous during the art test interview back then!

Xu Yishen said with a smile: "Little brother is not bad, it seems that you have a talent for arranging music."

Qi Luoran's cheeks flushed slightly after being praised, and he said embarrassedly: "There is also an element of luck. I'm actually not sure about two of them, just blind."

The top students in the 183 research group seldom turn to others for help. Qi Luoran was temporarily brought in as a foreign aid, and he was always in a nervous mood, for fear that he would be delayed.He is very happy to be able to help everyone now, and he can explain to Senior Sister Xu later.

Thinking of this, Qi Luoran immediately put away his smile, and said seriously: "There is one last link left, harmony, I don't know how to take the test."

Yue Xingwen said: "Everyone, take a break and wait for the reminder."

Everyone rested on the stage for a while, and a prompt appeared on the big screen——

[The third level game starts]

[7 candidates are asked to sit in designated seats, each choose a musical instrument, and 1 candidate stands in the middle of the stage and is in charge of conducting. A score will appear on the electronic screen in front of the 7 candidates. When it is your turn to play the instrument, tap the score in front of you according to the rhythm to integrate the instrument and sound into the main theme]

[There is a total of 1 music in the game, which will be scored according to your performance]

When everyone saw this, their brains were stunned.

Lan Yarong couldn't help but said, "I don't know how to play an instrument! Let's play an instrument, is this a joke?"

Qin Miao frowned and said, "I can only play the guitar, but the repertoire of this kind of ensemble is usually a symphony, right? Guitars rarely appear, and I don't know any other instruments at all, and I can't read the score."

A prompt pops up again on the big screen [You have 10 minutes to prepare]

Then, seven chairs appeared on the stage, and a score of more than ten consecutive pages was output on the big screen. Qi Luoran quickly ran over to take a closer look, and said, "It's Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny"!"

This is the most famous piece in the symphony. Many people have heard the name of this piece even if they haven't heard the piece itself.But wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to come to the ensemble in person?

Qi Luoran glanced at the musical instruments placed on the 7 seats, and said: "This symphony originally required a lot of musical instruments, but we were only tested on one of them. Violins, violas, cellos, timpani, flutes, and piccolos were used. , oboe, we need to split up as soon as possible.”

Yue Xingwen looked at the screen in front of him, and said thoughtfully: "It should not be for us to play the musical instrument ourselves, but after choosing the musical instrument, we should touch the musical instrument as if playing a music game according to the score on the screen. "He picked up a flute casually, put it to his lips and blew it, and the complete melody sounded in everyone's ears, and the clear and crisp sound of the flute was very pleasant.

Yue Xingwen said with a smile: "I don't know how to play the flute at all. It is equivalent to an 'automatic instrument'. What we need to grasp is the accuracy of rhythm and harmony, and we can play without knowing the instrument."

Lan Yarong breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me just say that although the library is perverted, it's not enough to let each of the eight candidates play an instrument. Wouldn't the failure rate be 8%! Automatic playing is fine."

Qi Luoran said excitedly: "That is to say, you don't need to know musical instruments, you just need to read the music score clearly, follow the rhythm of the team harmony, and you will do it when it's time for you to play. Just don't lose the chain?"

Xu Yishen said: "The symphony is the piece that requires the most teamwork. If one person makes a mistake, it will destroy the integrity of the whole piece. Brother, take the time to pick up the score and draw the parts that everyone needs to play."

Qi Luoran nodded, and Yue Xingwen quickly divided the tasks: "Choose the instrument first, this piccolo belongs to me."

Jiang Pingce said, "I'll take the flute."

Lan Yarong walked up to the timpani: "I'm in charge of the drums."

Xu Yishen chose the violin, Qin Miao and Qin Lu chose the viola and cello respectively, and Lin Manluo took the oboe.Qi Luoran walked up to everyone, taught everyone how to play each instrument, and then began to scrape out the scores, drawing out the parts that everyone needed to play.

With 5 minutes left in the countdown, Yue Xingwen suggested, "Everyone rehearse."

Qi Luoran stood in the middle of the stage and directed. Although everyone's parts were drawn, because the music score was too long, sometimes it was impossible to tell which part was played. The first time I tried, various instruments sounded out of time. It was a mess. It has become a "magic sound brainwashing".

Seeing that there were only 2 minutes left in the countdown and it was too late to do it again, everyone was feeling nervous. Jiang Pingce suddenly said: "In this way, we can't read the music score, and we don't know which section we have played, but Junior Brother Qi knows. When you conduct, use a different Gestures show us, for example, it’s time for Xingwen to play the flute, you hold out your left thumb, it’s time for me, you use your right thumb.”

Qi Luoran: "..."

Such a command method is really unheard of!

However, although Jiang Pingce's method is simple and crude, it is currently the most effective for bringing a group of "non-professionals" to play a symphony.

Qi Luoran took a deep breath and said, "That's it! Let's make good gestures. Everyone will look at my gestures later, and you will be able to accurately find the section that you should play..."

He checked the gestures with everyone, the countdown ended and the music officially started.

As the melody played by the system flowed in the ears, falling notes appeared on the screen in front of everyone's eyes. Everyone immediately followed Qi Luoran's gestures and began to play their own music.

Melodious violin, crisp flute, deep timpani, melodious oboe... The sounds of different instruments merged together to form a generous and passionate melody.

Everyone was very surprised, a group of rookies who couldn't play musical instruments, under the library's melody correction, actually popped up the momentum of a "symphony orchestra"!

There was only one violin at the scene, but as long as Xu Yishen pulled the strings, it would be the sound effect of dozens of people playing together!

Yue Xingwen, who never knew how to play the flute, perfectly integrated the crisp flute sound into it...

Excerpted from the 3-minute ensemble segment of "Symphony of Destiny", until the end sound fell, everyone could not calm down for a long time. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other and put down the long and piccolo in their hands.

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said with a smile: "The library really turned many 'impossible' into 'possible'. I never thought that one day I would be able to join the symphony orchestra and play a famous piece with everyone! "

Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, "Don't you think that the selection of the repertoire for this music exam is very meaningful. Does it mean that we can decide our own destiny through teamwork?"

After a moment of silence around, Qi Luoran said seriously: "Senior brother Jiang is very reasonable. When Beethoven began to conceive this piece, his ears were completely deaf, and there was no hope of healing. His lover was also deaf because of this. After leaving him, a series of encounters brought his life to a trough, but he still stood up strong..."

Speaking of this, Qi Luoran's eyes suddenly turned red: "Beethoven did not succumb to fate. He wrote this "Symphony of Fate" just to prove to the world that even if he is deaf, he can still perform music creation."

Deaf musicians are fighting against their fate.

These college students, although they have encountered many difficulties after coming to the library, they have all kinds of "defying" skills, so what face do they have to give up?

Although the library has always caused them trouble, it has always given them hope.

The familiar customs clearance information popped up in the floating box. Although the course of the Conservatory of Music only took about half an hour to complete the customs clearance, everyone remembered it deeply.

From the rhythm game, to the melody sequencing, to the final multi-instrumental ensemble...

People who don't know music can also appreciate the power that music brings to people!

They will not stop, just like, Beethoven never gave up fighting against fate.
