Two, suona solo piece
[edit]
The piece "One Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix" was originally a folk piece popular in Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places. In the spring of 1953, the team from Heze Prefecture of Shandong Province participated in the National Performance of Suona as a suona soloist and was warmly welcomed.
Since "The Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix" was put on the stage, it has been processed and adapted many times. The original "Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix", which was circulated in the folklore, had a loose musical structure without a climax, and when it was improvised, the rooster crowed at dawn, the hen laid an egg, and even the sound of a child's cry was added at will. When "Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix" was selected to participate in the Fourth World Youth Festival, Ren Tongxiang, a folk musician, processed the piece with the assistance of professional musicians, compressed the bird's cries and deleted the chicken's cries to address the flaws of the original piece, and designed a special cycle of air changes using the technique of the long notes of the colorful phrases, expanding the Allegretto finale, so that the whole piece ended in an atmosphere of warmth and jubilation. The piece won the Silver Prize in the Folk Music Competition at the Fourth World Youth Festival. In the seventies, on the basis of Ren Tongxiang's performance, an introduction was designed to present the mood of a hundred birds singing in unison in order to strengthen the musicality, and the colorful phrases were expanded, using the fast double spatula technique to make the piece more complete.
Three myths and legends
[edit]
A long, long time ago, the phoenix was just a small, insignificant bird, with ordinary feathers, not at all as glorious as the legend. But it had one advantage: it was very hard-working, unlike other birds that know how to play when they have enough to eat, but it was busy from morning to night, picking up all the fruits that other birds threw away one by one and collecting them in the hole.
What is the meaning of this? It's not a big, fat fool, is it? Don't underestimate this kind of food storage behavior, at a certain time, he can play a big role!
One year, there was a great drought in the forest. Birds can not find food, are hungry and dizzy, can not support. At this time, the phoenix rushed to open the cave, their own years of stored down the dried fruit and grass seeds out to share with everyone, and everyone **** through the difficult times.
After the drought, in order to thank the phoenix for saving their lives, the birds all chose one of the most beautiful feathers from their own bodies and plucked it down to make a brilliant coat for the phoenix, and unanimously elected it as the king of the birds.
After that, every time the phoenix birthday, birds from all directions will fly to congratulate the phoenix, this is the hundred birds towards the phoenix.
