origin
China's earliest lyrics are the legendary song of Tu Shanshi, with only four words: Waiting for others. The Book of Songs is sung with music. The so-called South, Style, Elegance and Ode are all the names of music, and 300 articles are all music documents. With the Book of Songs as the symbol, music literature is maturing. [2] Song Ci and Yuan Qu are both lyrics, which can be recited independently, and can also be sung in Chinese pronunciation at that time. Unfortunately, most of the music scores have been lost, and because the pronunciation has changed greatly, the ancients did not have recording equipment, which makes it difficult for people today to sing these songs.
Today's operas, operas, musicals and pop music involve the creation of literature and music at the same time, and the literary part of the works is still called lyrics.
Writing lyrics is generally called lyrics or lyrics.
function
Because the lyrics express the purpose and soul of the song and explain the feelings and theme of a song, some lyrics are not easy to forget even if they are very old. The quality of lyrics sometimes determines the quality of a song to a great extent, so many famous singers also invite famous lyricists to write it. At present, Lin, Fang,,,,,,,,, Lin Ruoning, Huang Junlang, Vae and Mao Bu are all excellent lyricists.
With people's attention to lyrics, the style of lyrics will be used for reference by more and more people. With more and more high-quality literati choosing to write lyrics, the artistic level of popular lyrics will be greatly improved.
classify
Lyrics can be divided into five types: narrative, lyric, scenery description, reasoning and duet. The most common popular song is "narrative+lyricism", and even songs with pure narrative need strong feelings as the foundation (such as Li Chunbo's Xiao Fang and Letter from Home). There are not many songs that are purely lyrical. A thousand sad reasons are barely enough, but there is still a shadow of the plot. There are few good pop songs about scenery, and BEYOND's Great Wall is one of the best. There are not many popular songs about reasoning, because if you are not careful, it will become preaching. The well-written song is "The Song of Ordinary People", and the reasoning song will reach its peak here. The form of duet is generally used in duets, where two or more people sing as if they were talking to each other. Jonathan Lee's When Love Is Past and More Worried Recently are the first classics.
When you begin to learn to write lyrics, you should exercise yourself by creating "narrative+lyric" works, and then create other types of lyrics when you have real strength and inspiration. Learning to write is always like this. First, imitation, then writing, and finally through constant tempering and breakthrough, we can carry out the original palace and create our own style of work.
Writing lyrics should pay attention to seven aspects: material, theme, theme, image, rhythm, phonology and rhetoric.
After you have a good work, you should give it a good name. A good name is an inseparable part of the lyrics, which should reflect the theme of the lyrics and arouse people's attention and interest. The main methods used are as follows: 1. Use the most classic sentence in this song, such as "How much love can be repeated"; Second, use the core image of this song, such as chess; Third, use objects related to this song, such as Sister Drum; Fourth, use concepts that can reflect the author's creative intention, such as love song 1990.
From the lyrics file, lyrics can be divided into plug-in lyrics and embedded lyrics. Plug-in lyrics are actually a text file containing time code and lyrics text, while embedded lyrics put the text of plug-in lyrics into the header of audio file, but the specifications of embedded lyrics are not uniform. For example, embedded lyrics produced by Windows Media Player cannot be supported by other lyrics plug-ins. Therefore, it is best that the lyrics production tool we use can support both plug-in lyrics and embedded lyrics production, so as to have the best compatibility.
Make an appreciative comment
Generally speaking, we appreciate the lyrics from the essential characteristics of imagery, lyricism and singing. As far as Chinese lyrics are concerned, we should appreciate them in combination with the image, rhythm, phonology and rhetorical characteristics of Chinese vocabulary.
