The men's team with voices in their hearts consists of Ju Hongchuan, Tong Zhuo, Daniel and Cai Chengyu. These four young people used their unique bel canto to become a beautiful landscape in the singer's performance this year. However, what moved me most was the song "Your Color" they sang on the night of the game. This song is not only overwhelming, but also romantic lyrics are as beautiful as poetry.
In my opinion, the high demand for this song in a short time is closely related to its singing style and poetic lyrics. He Cheng, in particular, wrote lyrics and was the only music translator in China. I believe she also wrote her beliefs in the lyrics. Therefore, this paper tastes the charm of words and poems in Ci with everyone from three aspects: retro style, image metaphor and emotional expression.
0 1, retro style: the combination of Chinese and western, the intersection of classical and modern, the carrier of romantic poetry, and the polyphonic music with changing voices make this song perfectly presented on the stage.
The original words of the song "Your Color" are Italian, and four young singers also performed this song with a combination of classical and modern singing. In my opinion, the classical style of this song is mainly reflected in two aspects, on the one hand, the polyphonic form of the singer, on the other hand, the way of music carrier.
There are four men in the men's team, showing three voices. They are Cai Chengyu with golden tenor, Ju Hongchuan's bel canto bass, Tong Zhuo's moist and mellow baritone, and the classic three-part is also one of the most common combinations in classical music. However, one of their voices is brilliant, that is, Daniel's "pseudo tenor". Pseudo-sound is a kind of changing sound, which is often used in polyphonic music. Many times, singers improvise according to their experience. They sang Your Color through duets of different voices.
The original words of this song belong to Italy, so it also has the carrier style of Italian pastoral. /kloc-Italian pastoral in the 0/6th century is a polyphonic song with high-level poetry as its lyrics. Pastoral music pays attention to the detailed expression of lyrics. The lyrics of "Your Color" have both the simplicity of narrative poetry and the romantic artistic conception of pastoral poetry. Under the background of classical style, an elegant piece of music was played.
02. Image metaphor: The fire of romantic passion makes music and poetry blend into one, shaping the immortal image of the phoenix reborn from the fire.
The theme of Nirvana's rebirth has always occupied a high position in China's modern poetry, because the process of shaping the image of Phoenix is a transformation from pain to joy, and also a transformation from destroying the old self to the new self. In my opinion, this is not only ideological liberation, but also an emotional romantic leap. So this theme is also well expressed in the song "Your Color".
The Chinese version of the song Your Color is divided into two parts. The first half of each part describes the day-to-day life of inaction, the confused future solidifies with gloom, and the second half describes the brilliant scene of loyal wife. Coupled with the help of music, this poetic scene is particularly dazzling against the melody. This situation is easy to resonate with the listener and build a romantic picture in the listener's mind.
(1) takes narrative poems as the carrier, and uses symbols, hints and other means to skillfully express the unhappy reality.
The lyrics of Your Color are closely related to our real life, and the image of this poem is shaped by "picture" and "narrative". Especially when describing the unsatisfactory parts in reality, a lot of symbols and hints are used to describe the picture in depth.
I woke up from my dream and sank into the black and white at midnight. I didn't change all night. I have been waiting for the long night. I have the same self-confession. I have to do it again day after day. I am looking forward to an accident. Is this kind of life vivid to everyone? In my opinion, the most commendable thing is that the narration in the second paragraph of the lyrics is an in-depth description of the first paragraph, which raises the artistic conception to a new height.
Not only that, but also a lot of language images are used to make the poem more vivid. For example, The Frozen Sea, The Nature of the Rise and Fall of the Tide, The Frozen Haze, The Blurred Window, Everything is Silent and the Sky is Pale, and the poetic images are composed of these touching language images. In my opinion, it is through the perception of images that we feel the charm of this lyric and appreciate every ordinary detail in life.
(2) To convey the scene of life is sweet after the rebirth of Nirvana to the listener in a metaphorical way.
Speaking of the metaphor of this lyric, we have to mention Haizi's poem "Facing the sea, spring blossoms". In Haizi's poem, "the sea" is the core image, but "facing the sea and blooming in spring" is itself a virtual realm. He used such a mirage to express his yearning for spiritual home and happy life, obviously in order to break through the shackles of reality.
In my opinion, your color and Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms are similar in image expression and imagination. The only difference is that your color turns the sea into a sea of flowers, making the image more real and this beautiful dream more real. For example, the phrase "the sea of flowers blooms in an instant, and the wind flows with the grand beat" is what everyone yearns for.
At the same time, "Your Color" expresses the firmness of dreams and the future with a broader picture, that is, the sentence "The universe is surging, and hundreds of millions of colors have rendered my dreams and my future". Compared with Haizi's Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms, this expression is less sad and more confident, which also makes this song more powerful in hope.
03, emotional expression: clear and implicit, clear and profound expression, so that strong feelings naturally shed.
Accompanied by high-pitched music, the emotional expression of this poem is extremely strong, and every paragraph between the lines is described as hit the floor, impassioned. Let the audience feel the grand scene, the unyielding spirit and the warm transmission. In my opinion, the charm of this song lies in using the symbol "you" to express gratitude for life and persistence in dreams.
Songs express love? Friendship? Or family? It doesn't matter. What matters is that with your love, there is no change.
The emotion expressed in this song has a strong sense of mystery. From this song alone, we don't know whether it expresses affection, friendship or love, and who the "you" in the poem refers to is unknown. But in my opinion, this implicit expression is the unique charm of China language, and this "you" may be just a symbol, a way to turn an abstract image into a concrete imagination.
"You" can be the meticulous care of parents in family ties; It can be the silent support behind the partner in love; It can also be the shadow of a friend in friendship to help you. Even "you" is not necessarily an emotion, such as a dream, a trivial matter, a casual concern and a greeting. This kind of warmth can make us open our hearts, render our dreams and our future, just because their love has never changed.
② Even though the road is long and Xiu Yuan is full of thorns, when you open the door, the splendid sea of flowers blooms in an instant.
Speaking of the lyrics of this song, I have to mention the lyricist He Cheng. This name may not be well known, but her works have opened a new chapter in China's opera. Why do you say that? Because He Cheng is the translator of China musicals, she is the first and only one. We are familiar with the classic musicals Cat, Me, Don Quixote and The Sound of Music.
With such a profound background of classical music and many years of translation experience, He Cheng can write lyrics and translate your colors, so that the artistic conception of this song can be brought into full play. However, this kind of He Cheng has unknown pain. Under the pressure of heavy work, she suffered from moderate and severe depression. Even she doesn't know if this career can have a future, because no one has done such a thing before.
As the song goes: "The same self-confession, come back day after day, expecting an accident." However, as an idealist, she still hopes that more people will push this door open. When the sea of flowers blooms in an instant and the grand beat flows in the wind, China musicals will appear like myths. So in my opinion, when she wrote this lyric, she must have pinned her hopes and dreams on it.
To sum up:
Music is one of the important ways to tense people and nature, so the lyrics of many songs are closer to popular language to achieve the purpose of communication and affection. But life can't be just in front of us, but also needs poetry and distance, so it's really lucky to hear poetic songs.
In my opinion, the song "Your Color" by the popular men's group clearly presents the artistic conception of "poetry and distance" in the minds of the public, and outlines a picture of rebirth from obscurity to nirvana for us. They told us with songs: If today's unhappiness makes you regret, don't deny tomorrow, because there will always be a sea of flowers blooming in an instant.
