Listen to Jiang Kemei play "Rain Beats Banana"
Qifengchi
I remember that Li Qingzhao, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Picking Mulberry Seeds": "Who planted banana trees in front of the window? Yin fills the atrium; Yin fills the heart and leaves warm the heart. Sad pillow night rain, a little light rain; A little rain, I am worried about hurting northerners and I am not used to listening! " This word describes the situation that the nomads from the Golden Army invaded the Central Plains, and the bad king Zhao Gou fled to the south with depression. Li Qingzhao, a poet, also involuntarily joined the ranks of refugees. The poet personally experienced the fatigue, fear and hardship of the long journey. Bananas described in Li Qingzhao's poems are associated with loneliness and sadness, and at the same time are closely related to parting. Who planted banana trees in front of the window? The atrium is full of trees. The atrium is covered with greenery, and the leaves are relaxed and affectionate. "Li Qingzhao poured out all the sadness, gloom, sadness and sorrow in the poet Li Qingzhao's heart through a short poem" Picking Mulberry Seeds ". As for Guangdong music "Rain Beats Banana", it doesn't matter what the relationship is with Li Qingzhao's "Picking Mulberry Seeds", but "Rain Beats Banana" is a classic of China Han folk music. It is said that Guangdong music "Rain Beats Banana" was composed by composer He Liutang. Music describes the sound of rain beating bananas in early summer, which is very interesting in the south. Guangdong music culture is profound and rich in connotation. After hundreds of years of inheritance and development, it has its own system and unique style, and is deeply rooted in Lingnan folk. It is known as "transparent music" abroad for its crisp and bright timbre, smooth and beautiful tunes and clear and lively rhythm, and its influence at home and abroad far exceeds that of other national music forms in China. He Liutang, a folk musician from China, was born in Shawan, Panyu, Guangdong. He studied national musical instruments with his grandfather since childhood and was good at playing pipa. I also like Cantonese music and often study it in my spare time. 1920 began to create. The famous music "Sailong Won the Gold Medal" is his masterpiece. He also wrote Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon, Three Crying Days, A Drunken Man's Drinks, Jinwenhui, Taking the Moon on a Ladder, etc. He often uses music to describe scenes, and his performances are extremely vivid. His creative techniques have broken through the traditional music of China, and new musical contexts often appear in his works. Have a novel and unique taste in the use of rhythm. In the performance of Guangdong ditty, he boldly adopted musical instruments such as jumping rhythm, sudden tune and suona, which promoted the development and innovation of Guangdong music.
In his later years, He Liutang returned to his hometown of Shawan and suffered from lung disease. Due to poverty, he died in 1933 at the age of less than 60. Guangdong music, popular in China, Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta, is an outstanding traditional cultural treasure of Lingnan folk. Guangdong music, with its light, soft, elegant, delicate and vigorous style and fresh, smooth and melodious Lingnan characteristics, is deeply loved and welcomed by China audience. The first time I saw Jiang Kemei, an erhu player, playing Cantonese opera "Rain Beats Banana" on TV, the high and beautiful sound quality came from Gao Hu. I didn't hear a note of "picking mulberry seeds" "Who planted banana trees in front of the window, and the atrium was covered with shade. Yin is full of heart and leaves are full of love. " Sad, sad, painful. The whole music is full of notes flowing in melodious beauty. The water quality notes of dulcimer, the crisp metallic texture of pipa and melodious flute sound travel through time and space. Dulcimer, pipa and flute tightly twine the high-pitched and passionate Gao Hu together, just like the rain beating on the green banana leaves and making a crisp sound. At the beginning of the music, under the guidance of pipa, dulcimer and flute, it entered the theme of music. Then Gao Hu played a crisp, smooth and lively melody. Although it was only two minutes and forty seconds, it showed people's joy. The sentences are short and slow, and the arranged phrases urge each other. The music presents a brief staccato sound, and the rain can be heard beating on the banana, swaying, reflecting the fresh, smooth and lively style and artistic charm of Guangdong music. . On the stage, Jiang Kemei's legs clasped Gao Hu's piano barrel, his slender left hand fingers slid up and down on the strings, his right hand slowly carried the bow, and his body flowed with the music, sometimes leaning forward slightly, and sometimes trembling slightly. It's as if she put her whole body and mind into music. Jiang Kemei has been gifted since childhood and is good at singing and dancing.
13 years old, admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music, and studied under the famous Banhu educator Professor Hengli. She studies hard and practices hard. Besides majoring in banhu, she also systematically studied several kinds of huqin, such as Jinghu, Gao Hu, Erhu and Zhonghu. In order to learn from the teacher, she traveled all over the country, got the careful guidance of the famous teacher Hu Qin, learned from others, and formed her own unique playing skills and style.
From 65438 to 0988, she successfully held "Jiang Kemei Huqin Solo Concert" in Beijing Concert Hall. She used five kinds of huqin to express different styles of works, which caused a sensation in the music industry. She was praised as "the successful Jiang Kemei model" by the music industry.
In her artistic course of more than ten years, with the constant pursuit of national music art, she has a deeper knowledge and understanding of China's national music works, a deeper artistic accomplishment, and formed her own unique playing style. Every time she plays, she always walks along the stage from the right side of the stage, with her head slightly lowered, playing the violin in one hand and lifting her skirt in the other, which looks beautiful.
She sat quietly, quiet and natural. Then she slowly entered the playing state, showing her deep understanding of music from every note and every technique, making music playing natural and simple. Critics praised Jiang Kemei not only for his beautiful music, but also for his more beautiful appearance.
? She is exquisite and skilled, and has traveled all over the world with several huqin. She has traveled all over Asia, Europe, North America and other countries, as well as more than 40 large and medium-sized cities in China and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Whether in Vienna, Munich, Ludwig, Cannes International Television Festival, Vienna Golden Hall or Spring Festival Gala, we can see her radiant artistic image.
? Vienna, the Austrian capital, is the music city of the world. In the Spring Festival of 2000, Jiang Kemei walked into this golden palace with China's Hu Qin. In this temple, she played "Rain Beats Banana" with a Gao Hu, which was as beautiful as running water notes.
? In a short musical sketch of more than two minutes, she presented a Gao Hu to the western audience, with the intermittent sound of raindrops hitting bananas and the swaying posture of bananas. For westerners with blue eyes, blond hair and big noses. Hearing such wonderful music, the audience at the scene couldn't help but give a thumbs-up for China's music, and this beautiful China girl was even more amazed.
An ordinary Gao Hu, with its beautiful melody and magical charm flowing through Jiang Kemei's fingers, not only adds luster to the Vienna Golden Hall, but also makes China's national music show rich cultural and artistic charm.
