How is the compositional structure of a laundry song divided?
Before this topic, we first need to briefly understand the general situation of folk music, of course, the views talked about here are within the scope of traditional Chinese music! The great China, five thousand years of long history, a long culture, has a very rich cultural heritage, on the traditional folk music, in Asia, and even in the world of art, all occupy a very important position. Traditional Chinese folk music is generally divided into five categories, which are folk songs; rap music; song and dance music; opera; and instrumental music. Among them, the traditional nature of rap art, the national characteristics of song and dance themes and genres, and the multi-voiced opera have a certain influence in the world. It is worth mentioning that instrumental music, traditional Chinese music by Confucius aesthetics advocated the "mediocrity and harmony", resulting in a large degree of Chinese music in a relatively homogeneous, and even by music theorists called the monophonic system, in spite of this, as one of the top ten famous songs of the ancient times, the spring period of guqin player Yu Boya made "High Mountains and Flowing Water", but still for the country's top ten famous songs, and the music is the most popular. Despite this, as one of the ten most famous songs of ancient times, "High Mountains and Flowing Water" by Yu Boya, a guqin player in the Chunqiu period, still earned face for the Chinese people: it was once made one of the world's twenty-seven classic songs and was sent to space by the Americans. Here, let's talk about folk songs in detail! Well, first of all, we need to understand the definition of folk songs! To put it plainly, folk songs are folk songs, which come from the heart of the people! The Chinese nation has fifty-six nationalities, each nation has its own rich musical language, and customs, then, for these folk songs classification, has become a difficult task for music theorists, so far, in the end how to categorize, there is still controversy, I think, can be divided into four categories! (For reference only) First, the minor minor mainly popular in cities and towns, most of the songs are more soothing, the structure is also more square, often using some folk legends; stories, customs as a genre, such as the Jiangsu folk song "Meng Jiangnu", "Jasmine", "Wuxi Jing", "pulling the root of the rutabaga flower", Yunnan folk song "Rusty Lotus Bags", the Sichuan folk song "Tea Songs", and so on. Regarding the Jiangsu folk songs "Meng Jiangnu", "Jasmine"; there are many versions, which have involved the issue of Chinese folk songs of the same family, I will not be tired here, there is an opportunity for us to discuss. Some ditties, to a large extent, also have the significance of revealing the reality, such as the Jiangsu folk song "Meng Jiangnu", also known as "December Flower Name", the story says that in the Qin Dynasty, there was a girl, Meng Jiangnu, who traveled thousands of miles to send cold clothes for her husband, Fan Qiliang, a legend, and when Meng Jiangnu walked to Hushuguan (now in Suzhou), the gatekeeper wouldn't let her go. The guards did not allow her to pass, Meng will be their own tragic encounters, according to the seasonal names of flowers as a citation, compiled into twelve paragraphs of song, (now from the folk artist's singing, which should belong to the variations of the body), tearful singing to the guards to listen to the guards, guards of the guards were finally sensitized by the sound of her song, and so, to let her through the pass. For thousands of years, the song has reflected the people's sympathy for the character of Meng Jiangnu, and also revealed serious dissatisfaction with the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. Second, the mountain songs Mountain songs are produced in the fields and mountain streams, the rhythm of the songs is often relatively free, there are similar to the opera singing style of the drag cavity, there are many famous songs around, such as the Shandong folk song "beautiful Yimeng Mountain", the hometown of the mountain songs Fujian folk song "picking tea song", the folk song of Yunnan "the river flows", the Hui ethnic minority folk song "go up to the high mountains to look at the plains, etc., most of the songs are based on the subject matter of the love story, the song is also very distinctive, and often the song will be The songs are mostly based on love stories, and the song style is also very unique, and often the songs will have a passage for the singers to give free play to, such as "Going up to the high mountains to look at Pingchuan"; "Good scenery in Dongting Lake" and so on! For the mountain song to understand thoroughly, not necessarily in the mountains to sing called mountain song, some songs such as "Dongting Lake" in the lake staged, also known as the mountain song, of course, this is not an absolute scientific division, which also has special circumstances, in order to let you better grasp the basics, do not laugh at the other first! Third, the horn produced in people's labor production, but also belongs to the kind of very strenuous labor, you can imagine, the crowd in lifting a very heavy object, it is impossible to sing a very lyrical, very leisurely such as "lullabies" type of song, they are in order to make everyone's strength to the right place, it will be now sung by a person as if by the rhythm of the cry out, and then the other people and, in accordance with the first The beginning of the person prompted by the rhythm of fast and slow, and then go up a piece of shouting. This is the predecessor of the horn, later, evolved into a song genre. Bugle singing form is very single, common as chorus, a leader and the crowd. The singing effect of such a theme is very atmospheric. Can quickly and the masses produce **** Ming! Such as Jingjiang folk song "playing wheat horn", and "boatman horn" and so on. Fourth, the long song long song, as the name suggests, that is, the length of the more grand, more narrative poetry as the subject matter, such as Yi folk song "Asima", Mongolian folk song "Kada Meilin" and so on! Song tunes narrative concept is relatively strong, the mood is variable, singing using stanza song style, that is, a section of the melody of the lyrics of many sections, this kind is rarely mentioned, in the textbooks nowadays is also difficult to see, but it is very vitality of the existence of, is to explain the charm of it! The long song is also a very direct inspiration for the poetry recitation in stage art nowadays!
