Black Sunday is a very solemn and melancholy music. His music is very sad and long, which explains the struggle and helplessness of human beings in the face of death with ups and downs. The lyrics are very real, and you can usually see scenes of people mourning. This kind of scene is also easy to make people think through simple words. In particular, the disappointment of passionate love in lyrics often makes lovelorn people have a strong illusion that they are willing to die in exchange for love.
According to historical records, in the same year of its creation, Melancholy Sunday spread from Hungary and then ravaged the whole European continent. Later, it crossed the ocean, spread to America and then to Asia.
Due to the suffocating despair in the song, as many as 157 people died at his hands. For a long time, it was synonymous with death, and people balked at it. All European countries prohibit playing this kind of music in public places. Even in Hungary, this piece of music is banned. As more and more people commit suicide, radio stations in the United States, Britain and France get together and hold a meeting to ask all countries in the world to boycott melancholy Sunday. In Berlin
A shop assistant hanged himself after copying the soundtrack of Melancholy Sunday.
In Rome
A newsboy on a bicycle heard a beggar humming "Melancholy Sunday" in the street. He stopped the car at once, gave all the money to the beggar, then walked to a nearby river and jumped into it.
in the U.S
When chatting with people, a cheerful and lively female typist in new york, USA, heard how "Black Sunday" makes people sad, so she curiously borrowed this music record and listened to it at home. The next day, she didn't go to work, and people found her in her room (another version said that she died of gas poisoning). Black Sunday records were playing on the record player. She said in her suicide note: "I can't stand its melody, so I have to die now." This song (Blue Sunday) is my funeral song. "
Danube river
Many people threw themselves into the river with the music or lyrics of "Melancholy Sunday", among which the youngest was only 14 years old.
in England
According to records, the first person who committed suicide was a British officer. He rested quietly at home and inadvertently began to listen to a CD sent by the postman. The first piece is Black Sunday by Rez Cerise. After listening to this piece of music, his soul was greatly stimulated and his mood could never be calmed down. Soon, he took out the pistol at home and ended his life. At the same time as the gunshots sounded, the song "Black Sunday" was still playing, which was the only death clue he left. After in-depth investigation and speculation, the police concluded that he did commit suicide, but this "Black Sunday" was an indirect killer! And warned people not to listen to this kind of music-because the police almost committed suicide while listening to this kind of music! Then it caused a sensation all over Europe. People feel incredible, afraid and curious. Many people who think their psychological quality is ok are curious to collect and experience it for their own exploration. A middle-aged man in the United States shot himself after listening to this song Black Sunday several times, and wrote in his last words: "Please take this song as my funeral."
In Washington.
A newly famous pianist was invited to a salon party and played for the guests. During dinner, a guest suddenly received a long-distance call from her mother, who died in a car accident. Because it happened to be Sunday, she asked the pianist to play Black Sunday for her mother to express her condolences. The pianist reluctantly played this piece of music, but just after playing it, he threw himself on the piano because of excessive sadness and never got up again.
In Milan, Italy
A musician was puzzled after hearing these anecdotes. He didn't believe that Black Sunday would cause such serious consequences, so he tried to play on the piano in his living room and died in front of the piano, and wrote the following words on the score of Black Sunday: "The melody of this song is too cruel for human beings to bear. Destroy it, or more people will die because of excitement. " [5]
Become a forbidden song
Then similar suicide news followed, and the whole world panicked from Europe to America to Asia. At that time, a famous person with great status in Europe insisted that a musician present should play the song "Black Sunday" on the piano when attending a concert. At first, the pianist resolutely refused, but he had to play because of the pressure and demands of the curious audience. After the performance, the pianist vowed never to touch the piano again! And the celebrity who made the request disappeared anonymously.
The New York Times published a news article with the headline "100 Hungarians committed suicide under the influence of' blue Sunday'". As soon as this news came out, it immediately triggered a heated discussion. Many psychiatrists, psychologists, and even psychiatrists in Europe and America have come to discuss the influence of this song, but they can't fully explain it and can't stop suicide cases.
As more and more people commit suicide, radio stations in the United States, Britain, France, Spain and many other countries hold special meetings, calling on European and American countries to boycott Black Sunday. Since then, all countries in the world have begun to destroy all the information about this music.
After music became famous, Rez Ceres's girlfriend also committed suicide by taking poison. 1969 On a cold winter day, he committed suicide by jumping off a building in his seventies. One story about Cerise's suicide is that he felt that he could never make a good song like "Melancholy Sunday", so he chose to die in a long despair. Another way of saying it is that his music killed many people, and he felt sorry when he recalled his old age, especially the death of his girlfriend, which greatly stimulated him.
The author of Black Sunday deeply repented before his death: I didn't expect this concert to bring so many disasters to mankind. Let God punish my soul in another world! . Some netizens said that the modern version of Black Sunday is not without "lethality", but because it is not the original. This is an irresponsible statement, which shows that the initiator of this statement is only influenced by various rumors and regards Black Sunday as a myth or legend, not history. What is "lethality"? Music itself does not have this ability. It is not impossible to say that the vibration of music can be destroyed if it is consistent with the building, but it is caused by physical reasons, but it cannot be attributed to the so-called "lethality" of music itself. "Embattled" only uses people's psychological reasons, not the song itself has this ability; If all the soldiers in Xiang Yu's novels were in Chu, wouldn't they be in flight after listening to the concert in their hometown? As for Mozart's music, it does have some magical effects, but that's just the psychological effect of music. Listening to classical music has a delicate and elegant aesthetic feeling, just like appreciating baroque exquisite architecture, but listening to rock music is hard to have this feeling. Moreover, not everyone feels this way when listening to classical music. Even if Bach's organ rings, there are many semi-blind people who are excited when listening to rock music. So even if this baroque music is really "lethal", what effect does it have on this person? If the deaf listen to music, what is the so-called "lethality" of music to him?
So these rumors not only are irresponsible, but also demonize Black Sunday. Two years ago, a junior at Hubei Yangtze University fainted while listening to this song (which should be a modern cover version) in an Internet cafe. Before listening to the song, he first saw the introduction on the webpage. The overall tone of the webpage is black, and the skull next to it seems to be sending invitations to everyone. The looming title directly above adds to the mystery of the web page. Judging from the picture alone, it sends a terrible message. The story of many people committing suicide after listening to this piece of music on the web page is even more sensational (that is, the historical event that people rushed to reprint this song "killing" people). Bad psychological suggestion is the root of students' reaction after listening to this music; A lot of reports about this song on these websites have formed a bad hint. These rumors spread from one source to another are spreading a bad hint and adding an unexpected "lethality" to this very ordinary song through hearsay. People who committed suicide in those years all listened to it under certain historical or social psychological conditions, which is just not the root. So this so-called "lethality" is not included in the song itself, but based on certain historical events.
Some people also heard a legend that the original song was a piano piece with a length of more than 47 minutes, and they struggled to find its recording while believing it; Others said that the last original music score was locked in the safe of an American conservatory of music. According to relevant data, the records released in that year were bakelite records with standard play (SP) of 78 rpm, which were widely used in 1930s. Generally used on mechanical hand-cranked phonographs, recording on both sides is about *** 10 minutes. Although the record player appeared long ago, it was not popular at that time. Although 33- 1/3-turn LP records appeared in 1930s, it was not until 1948 that Columbia Records released LP records that the phonograph became popular. LP records can be recorded on both sides, about half an hour. If Black Sunday is really a music with more than 47 minutes, you need 5-6 SP records and 1 or 2 LP records. However, according to relevant information, Black Sunday was an SP record at that time. How can it be said that it is 47 minutes long? One more thing, is it a piano piece, a piano concerto, a piano suite, a large oratorio or just a song? How many records have been recorded and released? Is it an SP record or an LP record? One more thing, how did you get these 47 minutes? According to the score, this statement is far-fetched Because most music scores only indicate the approximate speed of music, such as andante, allegro and adagio. The speed of how many beats per minute is different for each performer. Take China's famous song Butterfly Lovers as an example. The speed of Shen Rong's 196 1 version is different from that of Xiqi heiheirage's version or Xue Wei's version or Sheng Zhongguo's version in the late 1980s. So the total duration of play is naturally different. If the time is based on a certain version of the recording, what version is this recording and what form was it recorded? Record? Or a bug? So in the absence of relevant information and evidence, this statement can only be regarded as a legend.
There is also an online rumor that there are only two original music scores in the world (one in an American university and one in the author's grave), which is not credible. Imagine that tens of millions of records have been sold and swept the world. How can they be banned? Sunday is beautiful and bright. In ancient China, it was called "Ri Yao Ri" (this name is still retained in Japanese). However, Rez&; Ocirc Cerise lives in pain and darkness, so it is dark in his world, which does not mean that Sunday is actually dark; Just as poets cry when they see fallen leaves, and farmers rejoice when they see fallen leaves accumulating fertilizer, there is no right or wrong in the fallen leaves themselves.
In the Hungarian 157 suicide incident, many people had a direct or indirect relationship with this song before they died. After spreading abroad, it directly or indirectly caused many deaths, so it was banned for 13 years until1945; Therefore, it is also called "death music" or "invitation from the devil".
The popularity of this song in Europe and America became popular through the French version (muddy Dimanche) sung by Damia in 1936, so this version is very famous. Later, after it was spread to the United States, Billie Holiday, a black female singer, covered this song at 194 1, and since then, this song has become more and more popular. This is the English version of Black Sunday, which has always been popular.
Some people divide more than 50 singing versions of Black Sunday into two categories: original version and adapted version, or Damia version and Billie Holiday version. Damia version is sung in French, but the melody it uses is the original song of the original author; Moreover, the recording is accompanied by piano and duet (or chorus) group (but the piano accompaniment is weak and can be ignored; Coupled with the sense of realism and scene of SP record, its emotion is really sad, which is unmatched by any modern version. However, the Billie Holiday version injected some jazz flavor into it, and at the same time disrupted the original music structure of 4/4 triplet, completely changed the rhythm and taste, and became an ordinary pop song; Although a trace of the original song can be vaguely heard from the melody, it is far from the original song. At the same time, a theme similar to "chorus" was added. The melody and lyrics of this song have been circulating and become the lyrics used in most cover versions, so that many modern people think that this version is the original; Even the Hungarian version of the cover (for example, Hernadi Judith's version) uses the word "Szomorú vasárnap" written by laszlo Yavo, but the melody is similar to the original version, except for the "chorus" like the Billie Holiday version, so the cover version can be considered as the descendant of the Billie Holiday version. Except for the piano, piano and violin, piano and vocal music in the film "Gloomy Sunday" (Taiwan translation of "Crazy Piano"/Hong Kong translation of "Love in Budapest"), almost no modern version is exactly the same as the original; But the singing or performance in the film is not as emotional as Damia's version. Therefore, these editions are classified as "Billie Holiday Edition" as the representative of these editions; The original or similar to the original is represented by the "Damia Edition" class.
The rhythm of the original song is basically triplet, from beginning to end. Adagio (Italian, adagio) stands for speed; The tonality is C minor (like key signature and bE major), unlike some netizens who said that "the whole song is dominated by discordant scales".
The first bar (the bar here is calculated from the singing part, excluding the prelude) is the decomposition of the first chord (minor chord) in C minor and the repetition of the tonic, from C 1-
The first three beats of the second bar are the same, all of them
The third and fourth bars are the downlink modules of the second bar, and the two main sound patterns are C2-
The fifth paragraph is exactly the same as the first paragraph, and the feeling of sadness is hard to suppress in the chest and churns up again. The sixth paragraph is similar to the second paragraph, except that the last beat stays in d2 key (alto si) to form a homophonic repetition of triplets, and the emotional sadness reaches its peak but nothing is done.
In the seventh measure, the first beat is empty, followed by three identical notes g 1(mi), one beat at a time, and sung with the hold sound. The rhythm pattern of the eighth bar is opposite to that of the seventh bar, with three tones, c 1(la), one beat at a time. These two paragraphs seem to sink great sadness into the bottom of my heart helplessly, and then fall into depression and sadness. Hungarian version

When autumn comes, leaves fall.
All the love in the world is dead
The wind is shedding sad tears.
My heart no longer looks forward to the new spring.
My tears and sadness are meaningless.
People are careless, greedy and evil.
Love is dead!
It's the end of the world, and hope is meaningless.
The city was leveled with shell fragments to make music.
The grass was red with human blood.
The streets are full of dead people.
I will pray again.
People are sinners. God, people make mistakes.
The world is over!

I walked into our room, exhausted.
Just because I know you'll never come back

I am alone, crying in a low voice.
Listen to the moans and growls of rime.
Melancholy Sunday
One Sunday, I will die because I can't stand it.
When you came back, I had already left.

They will also tell you that I will love you more than my life.
Melancholy Sunday
Chinese cantonese version
Lyrics: Lin
Tomorrow is endless.
Sleeping is also a blessing.
Candlelight, poetry, feelings, I have already prepared.
Flowers were scattered like ashes in the clock.
These feet are too heavy.
Finally don't have to land.
Don't be curious, partner.
It will make you more sad.
I suddenly became happy.
I can't sleep this long.
A gloomy Sunday
The future has no end.
What is the surprise of existence?
Where are you?
How jealous I was when I was alive.
Dandelion will die until it reaches its destination.
It's rising, dear.
It will fall to the ground one day.
No hate, no love.
Father, don't be discouraged.
Who cares about farewell, they will all be together in the end.
A gloomy Sunday
Let me sleep until my eyes turn red
Wake up from a nightmare
My heart is still warm with gray tears, which makes me relax.
won't forget
I once kissed you in your ward.
You can also ask me with a smile
Why are you sad?
A gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday Because of the prevalence of Black Sunday at that time, it was absolutely impossible for the government to destroy it. There are still many people in the world who collect it. Most of the online products are parallel imports, but some of them are true.
The original versions that have been found are the French version of Black Sunday, the piano and violin concertos of Black Sunday and a small part of the English version of Black Sunday. (The videos are all in the resources, and a small number of English versions are in the classic legend of Jiangxi Satellite TV. The pictures in Black Sunday Piano and Violin Concerto have nothing to do with Black Sunday. ) Overview of the movie "Love in Budapest": Love in Budapest took place in Budapest, the Hungarian capital, in the AD 1930' s, and the restaurant run by Laszlo and Elena was famous for a song. This "melancholy Sunday" not only opened the hearts of listeners, but also deepened the hearts of bosom friends. The young pianist Anlas wrote this song for Elena, not because she wanted to express her feelings through this song. Unexpectedly, she fell in love with two handsome guys at the same time. This deformed love triangle finally developed smoothly under mutual accommodation. Just as the three of them were having fun, a German young man, Hans Wake, suddenly appeared. He was attracted by the song, fascinated by Elena's brilliant light, fell in love at first sight, and even proposed to her, but was politely refused.
