Problem description:
I am a girl, I want to take part in a poetry reading contest, but I don't know what kind of music poems to read. (except farewell to Cambridge and Rainy Lane)
Please give us some advice, and you'd better explain what music to play. thank you
Analysis:
Do you want to try ancient poetry?
If you want to have a dazzling live effect, try Li Bai's ancient poems, which are familiar to everyone. You can boldly use classical music, and the impact of different cultures will be very novel.
If you are confident in your temperament and harmony, try Yuefu poetry. "Picking lotus in the south pond in autumn, the lotus is over the head" is suitable for festivals. Choose modern folk music with quiet folk customs.
If you are a quiet girl, elegant words should be matched. Music is also easy to find, just match the mood.
For modern poetry, I feel that Yu Guangzhong's poetry recitation is very effective and easy to communicate with the audience. The soundtrack is very free and can be matched with ups and downs. For example, many new era music can be used.
For the works translated in western languages, it is suggested to choose those imported earlier, so that there will be more translations to choose from and the overall translation quality will be higher. Use a version that is conducive to "reading", that is, the consideration of melody takes precedence over the transmission of words and sentences.
Finally, some general suggestions.
1. If you take part in the competition, you should try to avoid listening too much, whether it is poetry itself or music, it will easily make people lose interest.
2. Personally, I feel that piano is the most difficult instrument to conceal human voice. Many romantic piano music, especially adagio, is very suitable for music.
I hope it will help you, and I wish you good grades!
