Old-time musicians
The first movement: Awakening Poem (45): This idea is dangerous (two in one)
"All?..." Prince Eleanor, the person in charge of the Opera House, was startled.
He actually saw some irritation on the master's face, and knew that he wanted to shorten the time for the contestants to enter and exit the stage and announce the curtain, but he still couldn't help but respectfully reminded him politely:
"Master Lucter, there are more than 20 people behind us. If we let them enter first and wait, those at the bottom may have to wait for three hours. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for some things."
In fact, the logistical support in the cast and crew lounge was pretty good, and his starting point was also good. At the moment, he was implicitly indicating that the singer needed to drink water, touch up makeup, or have internal emergencies.
Who knew that these "three hours" completely made the master unable to hold back:
"The people in the back don't have to sing two songs, just one."
Most people knew what their level was as soon as they opened their mouths, and Lucter felt that he had been too reluctant in selecting candidates before, as if he was trying to force the number of people for the "usual selection ratio". Next, he decided to rather lack than to overdo it.
"Okay." Prince Eleanor was stunned for a moment, then agreed with a smile.
"Don't comment, just vote. Maybe 1-2 more people will be enough." Lucter took a sip of the cold drink on the table, and added, "Don't be affected by my personal preferences, choose what you like. Yes, if there are more, tickets will be given as usual.”
"Okay, okay." All the judges nodded.
The previous selections generally maintained the ratio of 5 to 1 to the finals, but the master was so ruthless. There were clearly 25 singers left, and they began to feel deeply worried about the fate of the latecomers.
From the perspective of the selection mechanism alone, Master Lucter, as the main judge, is just one person equal to the weight of three people, but in fact
Almost most of the other ten people in the seat today, whether they are from the royal family, church, theater background or freelance artists, have been taught or supported by this master! Even three senior famous singers, including Miss Kuci, were students who had a formal relationship with him. The fame of these opera singers has long been beyond the Southern Continent. They can be said to be household names, popular, and extremely valuable. The remuneration of the main characters in the game is equivalent to other people's income for several years!
Even the Western Continent, which calls itself the "Janus Orthodox" in serious music, has to admit that the Southern Continent is a magical land rich in famous opera performers, from castrato singers in history to the current new generation of famous singers. The name is like thunder.
The reason why the famous singer competition here is still as timeless as ever is because half of its gold content is because Lucter sits on the judge's table.
Master Lucter, the poet of the new moon, the knower of the "pool", and the honorary bishop of the church. He has written many poems praising love, debating desire, or exploring life and death. The public recognizes that he is impartial in his actions and artistic in his ideas. On the other hand, he does not adhere to secular etiquette, but those who are more familiar with him must add one more thing: he has a strong personality and a hot temper.
Or it can also be said: since the master has grown older, his temper has become much better than when he was young.
The matter of directly drawing a gun and dueling someone because of a beauty dispute or a disagreement in ideas is already a legend in the past.
This is a good thing for future generations who are dealing with the poet today.
Look on the bright side, he will never pull out a pistol on you at a music salon, drama society or jury.
An had followed the arrangement and entered the theater stage in advance, and sat down at the side waiting seats with everyone else. She was a little surprised why the breathing of the people around her sounded so rapid.
She had not been scrutinized by the New Moon Poet because she had not advanced to the finals in the past three years, but after experiencing it today, she felt pretty good.
Miss Nightingale has a very optimistic attitude.
With the master's attainments and aesthetics, he has "appreciated" so many good and bad singing voices one after another. It is certain that he will be expressionless and silent. Even the winner is just some immature talent and skills. How can he expect the master to smile all over his face? Are you intoxicated with it?
It's not like my teacher is singing here.
Although the eleven judges were spread out, sitting around Master Lucter were the directors of the two artistic hubs of the "Eleanor State Opera House" and the "Festival Concert Hall". There are also a number of royal family members, clergy and senior famous singers, such as Miss Kuci, whom I have admired for a long time. But you will know if you have seen the finals. There were forty or fifty judges and more than a hundred guests that day. You made two big circles!
Is it because there are currently nearly a thousand citizens and tourists watching in the auditorium area behind, so you feel nervous?
But as a vocal music learner and a potential opera singer, isn’t it true that the stronger the sense of attention on the stage, the more lively and positive the state? I also thought they didn't listen attentively enough. There were too many people walking around, or slumped on the seats and fell asleep!
The main reason is that the teacher said that his help to me would be "a bit bullying" in today's situation, so maybe it would be difficult to be nervous even if I sit for ten Luckers.
"Ah~~~~~~~~Ah. Ah."
A female singer chose a lyric-free vocal practice song written by Master Dominic and had a more dazzling style. Then in the first slightly difficult segment, her voice shook twice in a row.
The next male singer grabbed a shot before the intro of his song started, which made the assistant who had been playing the piano conscientiously have question marks all over his head.
Hey, friends, relax!
What you are on is a stage, not an operating table!
Miss Nightingale is closing her eyes, holding her forehead, and shaking her head.
Master Lucter watched expressionlessly as one singer after another took the stage, announced the curtain, sang, took a curtain call, and left.
In order to ensure a relatively fair level of performance, another piano accompaniment arranged by the event organizer was sent away...
The participating singers were wiped out from the 35th to the 44th. Most of the people behind felt that their legs were starting to weaken.
Hell, it was already nine o'clock. The great troubadour and director of the Festival Grand Concert Hall, Senesino, who was sitting on Lucter's left, raised an information sheet and looked at the time on his pocket watch underneath.
If it were me who had waited so long, it’s hard to say that I wouldn’t have teased the famous singer Ku Ci on the left. I was considerate of the poor state of these contestants, and suddenly felt that it was really difficult for the younger generation to mix.
Prince Eleanor, the head of the opera house on Lucter's right, was thankful that the master had decided that everyone would only sing one song.
"Singer No. 45 'Miss Cuckoo' Renilla, introduced by: Senesino, the great troubadour and director of the Festival Concert Hall; Prince Eleanor of the Royal Family of Princess Tia; Bishop Calestini of the Fanghui Temple ; famous singer Nicolino; music critic of Acobi Art Newspaper..."
Luctemo read out the luxurious recommendation signatures on the invitation letter, which included a "Forged Lion" + a "Blade Bearer" + several celebrities, then looked around and asked: "Are you two recommenders?"
His mental state was slightly filled with a sense of expectation.
"This is the student I just mentioned to you, and she is also the youngest sister in Prince Eleanor's family." Senesino chuckled, "Her talent and singing voice will definitely not disappoint you. If this last If only 1-2 people from a group of contestants are left to advance to the finals, it must be her. ”
Renee performed in a bright orange dress.
"Ah, why are there people who call me the same thing..." An looked at Miss Cuckoo quietly, "It sounds like she is a singer with a lot of supporters, from the upper class and with good talent. However, I There is my teacher..."
I saw Renilla walking leisurely to the middle, her gorgeous puff sleeves, lace shoulders and sleeve pockets rippling with the pink light in the theater, her exquisite red lips slightly raised, with pride and a little reserve. He bowed to the judges:
"The Queen's Aria from Maestro Meyer's Opera Rinuccini."
The piano prelude sounded, followed by Miss Cuckoo's voice, which cheered up all the judges present and even the drowsy audience in the back row.
The soprano's delicacy and high pitch are well reflected here, and she also possesses deep energy, especially in the climax of the cadenza. She sang the two sets of up and down arpeggios in one breath, and accurately It falls on the starting note, and then turns into a bright and colorful vibrato...
It actually performed a unique charm.
"good!!"
After the song ended, there was warm applause, cheers and whistles from the back of the theater.
"The breath is amazing, the lung capacity and diaphragm support are amazing, and the pitch is extremely stable and excellent." Lucter nodded slightly for the first time. This level finally sounds like "appreciation", and at least he made it to the finals. There is no need to hesitate to join the group.
With Senesino's rather complacent smile, Miss Cuckoo lifted up her trailing skirt and exited.
Then came the next Miss Nightingale.
Faced with such an occasion, An Luoluo walked up to the judges gracefully and said hello crisply in a pure voice.
Master Lucter was in a slightly better mood before, and the girl's confidence and pure temperament made a good impression. He picked up the next invitation letter.
oh? Is this player No. 46 also a recommended combination of a ‘forged lion’ and a ‘blade wielder’? He saw that the orange and pink strips were signed.
Then he frowned, thought for a while, and then asked around:
"Who is this Scheele?"
The judges began to look at each other in confusion.
Yes... who is Scheele?
A laureate troubadour? Or a great foreign musician? Never heard of it at all?
Each recommender will only write his or her own name on the invitation letter, but those who can enter the colored strip are at least the "groom", that is, they are talented young artists or respected old artists. Maybe no one knows about it, and the invitation letter is just a formal document, and its authenticity must be reviewed by the church behind the event.
Theoretically, no one is stopping you from signing the bright red strip of "Master" out of thin air, but for the above reasons, normal people cannot do such a sensational thing.
The troubadour Senesino spread his hands and smiled. The student's smooth promotion made him feel relaxed: "Maybe he is a 'great' colleague who is secretly hidden. Because he is too low-key, even I have never made friends with him. I want to see him. This friend, the singer he likes is also a bird, which is somewhat fate..."
His words seemed to acquiesce in the authenticity of Scheler's "greatness", but in fact they were full of ridicule.
"But why did this Miss Nightingale pass the review?" Prince Eleanor doubted the accuracy of the staff's screening.
"Because there is another 'blade bearer'." At this time, the famous singer Ku Ci spoke softly.
Everyone suddenly realized.
That's right, it doesn't really matter who this Sherer is, getting the recommendation of "Blade Bearer" is enough to pass the preliminary screening.
At least everyone here knows about Mr. Bruno Walter, the famous traveling conductor.
Rückert actually didn't care. He had already criticized this recommendation mechanism, and had just decided to further raise the threshold next year. He was just confused and asked casually.
This unexpected episode delayed the time a little. An, wearing a white dress, stood in front of the stage and looked at everyone in confusion. Seeing this, Kuci quickly reminded her: "Little girl, you should introduce the songs you prepared, just one song."
An bowed again quickly after hearing this:
"Then I will sing the first song of "Rückert's Song": "I Breathe the Fragrance of the Bodhi Tree."
...Wow?
These two main and subtitles immediately made the judges excited, and everyone's eyes were focused on Master Rückert in the middle.
Wow, what kind of novel idea is this?
Because you know that the main judge is Master Rückert, you wrote an art song based on his representative work?
This logic was quickly understood by people, and the three famous singers on the jury, including Kuci, all thought of this at the same time.
The purpose of the contestant or the instructor behind is not difficult to guess.
But...
In fact, as the teacher's most proud early love poem, they had discussed the possibility of adapting it into an art song a long time ago, and they discussed it with the teacher.
But in the end, there was no result.
——Rückert himself could not find a suitable way to present it. This love poem is very short, the vocabulary is extremely simple, and the artistic conception expressed is also very special: it does not hide its throbbing heart of pursuing beautiful things, but the writing is restrained, reserved, and pure, expressing a noble and elegant youthful love.
The creation of melody is the difficulty. The melody of love poems must be beautiful, but many common techniques of romanticism will break the purity and restraint, making it appear gorgeous or sentimental...
This is only one aspect, and the accompaniment is even more difficult!
What are the texture forms of an art song accompaniment? The conventional ones are nothing more than column chords, broken chords, semi-broken chords, flowing fast arpeggios, and embellishments based on this, but for this song "I Breathe the Fragrance of the Bodhi Tree", Rückert felt that none of them were ideal! Either it was too static and lost its agility, or it was too thick and destroyed its purity... so all those creative discussions ended in failure.
The three students secretly glanced at their teacher Rückert.
They didn't see any changes in his expression.
But they knew very well that if the art song brought by this little girl fell into the clichés they had discussed long ago in terms of melody, accompaniment, or interpretation style, the effect achieved by Master Rückert would definitely be counterproductive.
This poem depicting young love, in the teacher's original words, is something that he "can never experience again" and "can never write again."
The lost youth of a crescent poet!
Even if you want to take a different approach and use the teacher's poems to write art songs, it's best not to choose this one!
This idea... is not only novel, but also very dangerous!
