Appreciation of Bran's Poetry

Karl Orff, a 20th-century German composer, selected 25 poems from this manuscript and composed this poem "Bran Poetry" with three themes: spring, wine and love.

The overture is majestic and solemn, and the composer seems to be trying to build a temple by singing and listening. The first part of the official song "Spring" is light and bright, and contains a long distance. The male and female voices of the chorus alternate like the day and night changes in the time series; The second "Pub" is a secular scene, which uses the falsetto and tone sandhi of actors, just like describing the world of people living in the scene of masked parties; But strangely, the jubilant scene seems to be as cold as a passing ghost; The third book, Love, has the catharsis of longing for love, the ode to love sadness and the simple singing of lust. Among them, the female voice singing "On the Balance" was gorgeous and sad, which became a classic in the concert.

Composer carl orff added a new melody on the basis of inheriting the classical composition method. Under the influence of "neoclassicism", he used neoprimitivism elements and added percussion elements to the rhythm, which made Bran's poems perfectly combine medieval vagrancy with modern singing.

Bran's poems are full of amazing elements and drama. Full of majestic shouts and euphemistic hymns, it makes a surging sound like a raging torrent crashing on a rock, and it is like a gurgling stream winding to a soft grass beach. Band and singing complement each other; Shock percussion music is like the call of fate, which has a strong soul-knocking effect. Bran's Poetry is a hymn of life, as if God's eyes were watching in the dark. Under the guidance of the three themes, motives such as "belief" and "death" are skillfully involved, and the tonality has both secular joy and epic momentum. The real motive implied in it is pity, regret and lament for the short life. Rilke's poem is used to describe this work: "The true God of mercy, when he comes, is majestic and radiant, just like the gods. It is stronger than the wind blowing a big ship. "
