Chapter 409 The Fourth Movement Humans Tell Me (12): Finally Love (Two in One)

"The Beautiful Miller Girl?"

"It's not the "Winter Journey" in that record?... I still thought why I didn't save the impact of the first performance on the stage. It turns out that Scheele prepared a second set."

"No, he still doesn't know much about strategy. Miss Nightingale won't have a problem getting into 8 out of 4. Just take out the new collection of poems now. If there is a third round after that, wouldn't it be better to go high and low? Miss Cuckoo's The teacher has only performed the first old work so far."

Although Miss Cuckoo was in the limelight at the moment, Miss Nightingale, who followed closely behind, sparked heated discussions among music fans once her second round of repertoire was announced.

"Whatever, this title. I can finally listen to love poems. The first three poems are good, but they are not the same as Scheler's rumored style."

"Will this work follow the love tone of "Skull Song"?"

Many people speculated about the content of the music based on this title.

At this time, they saw An in a blue dress, took a few steps towards the front of the stage, and paced lightly back and forth.

Many listeners became confused.

The poet laureate Mr. Walter sitting in front of the piano has already put his wrists on the keys of the piano. Why doesn't she stand still and enter the state of preparing emotions and adjusting breath to sing?

"Did dong dong dong dong dong..."

The piano played lively and brisk B-flat major decomposed chords, like a cheerful stream flowing.

"Flowing water is our good example, running water is our good example,

They are rushing day and night, constantly rushing to the distance..."

"Look at the waterwheel spinning busy, look at the waterwheel spinning busy,

How brightly they spin, how tirelessly they spin..."

Miss Nightingale didn't stop pacing, she untied her headband, put her hands behind her back in a playful way, smiled slightly, and happily sang that handed down melody along with the sound of the piano.

"The Beautiful Mill Girl", the subtitle of the first "Wandering", was also highlighted by a dense array of electric lights behind the stage.

The audience was instantly moved by the carefree and simple ballad and the unrestrained singing style of the girls on the stage!
yes!yes! ! !
How can such a lively narrative and music be able to stand in front of the piano rigidly, pinch your nose and sing in a pretentious way! ?

"...Ah, my pleasure is a vagabond, ah, my pleasure is a vagabond,

My girl she's at the mill, let me be free to wander, to wander! "

The song ends with a crescendo, which seems to imply that the protagonist's wandering life will end without knowing what it will be.

This is not an ideal state of worldly life, but the cheerful accompaniment texture and clear and clear melody undoubtedly do not convey the protagonist's open-minded attitude. The audience thinks that this must be a happy and wonderful love story.

The light array is switched, and the second piece, "Where Towards", the piano switches to G major without too much pause in the previous piece.

It is still a clear color, and it is still a continuous expression, but it is replaced by a 6-syllable group, as if it is the sound of a stream flowing in the distance:

"I heard the brook singing, rushing over the hills,

It murmurs into the valley, so fresh and so sonorous.

I don't know where I'm going, where I'm going,
I can only run to the distance, with my beloved cane. "

The audience found an obvious feature here. The beginning note of every phrase sung by Miss Nightingale falls on the weak rise bar, and the emotion expressed is closely related to the blurred and searching situation of "Where Towards".

"...you sing, buddy, sing to your heart's content, we wander happily,
I hear the sound of water milling beside the clear stream! "

Each of her phrases, as well as the lines between phrases, are weakened by the sound of gurgling water, so as to prevent the sudden strong beginning sound from being out of touch with the accompaniment, and the vocal and piano are seamlessly matched.

At this time, Walter played a short unison with both hands, and then, in the continuous C major half-broken chord with the right hand, the left hand dropped the key with a sudden force, from the changing sound #F to the G sound, and then changed into small steps jump form.

The protagonist who seemed to be running suddenly stopped in a hurry.

The third song, "Stop".

"I saw a mill in the distance, surrounded by Chi Yang,

The waterwheels sang loudly and loudly.

'Hey, you're welcome, you're welcome,' the waterwheel sang sweetly.

See how kind the house is, how bright the windows are..."

Now, Miss Nightingale's sweet singing made most audiences aware of the narrative continuity of this work: from "wandering", to "where to go", and then "stopping" to look at the mill, the protagonist finally arrived his destination.

Wonderful arrangement, wonderful writing technique! ...Master Luckert sighed again and again in his heart.

The word "vocal divertimento" in the Old Janus language is spelled similarly to the German "Liederkranz", and the literal translation should be "wreath of songs"-a tradition of brilliant composers who are good at combining some The plot is continuous, the structure is relatively complete and independent art songs are woven together, just like the laurel leaf crown on the head of the ancient troubadour who chanted long poems.

So following this plot, a wonderful encounter should begin, right?
The piano played a preface with ups and downs and anthropomorphic embellishments, the fourth song "Thanks to the Stream".

"Does your rapping partner think the same? Do you laugh and sing, do you think the same?

Xiaoxi is right, there is a good girl.What a desirable mill girl..."

The eyes of Miss Nightingale who played the protagonist were full of anticipation.

"...Perhaps it is so, I thought, and all my hopes were fulfilled.

To find this job I got my wish, to get labor and love I got my wish. "

After a break, the piano switched to A minor. Walter played a soothing double tone with his right hand, while his left hand played another counterpoint melody with a combination of dotted and octagonal notes, vividly simulating the sound of waterwheels rotating alternately.

"If only I had a thousand arms, I would make the water wheel spin wildly...

At dusk, everyone sits around the field, sharing the rest after work,

The master will tell us: Everyone should be praised for their work;

The lovely girl said: May we always gather together like tonight. "

The young man in love met that girl, and the girl on the stage sang the fifth song "Rest" softly. She was imagining that she had thousands of arms and could exchange for the girl's love through hard work.

"...I will blow all the forests and make the mills turn more merrily,
Let that beautiful girl keep me in my heart.Let the good mill girl keep me in her heart. "

Immediately, the song returned to the major key, and the protagonist was deeply in love at the moment. After experiencing "doubt" and "anxiety" in a row, the audience found that the rhythm of the piano returned to fast, and there were drastic tonality changes.

"I will not ask the flowers nor the stars,

Because none of them can answer the doubts in my heart.

I am not a gardener, and the stars are high in the sky.

I just have to ask Xiaoxi, who makes my heart move..." Miss Nightingale continued to play the role of the protagonist who sang, he didn't dare to tell the people around him, but could only pour out his heart to his loyal Xiaoxi friend.

"I often carve poems on tree trunks, and carve knife marks on stones,
I love to cut and sow in the flower beds, to profess love with violets,

On every piece of white paper I wrote this:

Heart to heart, heart to heart, let us always be heart to heart..." Everywhere he could touch, he emotionally engraved the name of his sweetheart, dreaming that he could be with her forever.

One morning, he bumped into the figure of his sweetheart, saw her bowed her head and said nothing, but did not dare to explore the worries in her heart, so she could only stand and watch from a distance. This is "Good Morning"; he planted flowers in front of the small window of his sweetheart's house, I fantasize that these flowers will express their hearts in the dead of night when everyone is silent. This is "The Flower of Grinding".

Finally, a small group of audience members pulled away from Miss Cuckoo's sensual and sexual love song.

They recalled the "love in the court", re-examined "elegant love", and recalled those heart-thumping moments in their youth, how pure and restrained, and how unhesitating!

Thankfully, in the tenth song "Rain of Tears", the protagonist is dating his sweetheart.

Walter played a three-part polyphony with a weak attack of pp, which is very unusual for the accompanying piano part, suggesting that this is a tense solitude and an unforgettable memory.

"I was intimate with her and sat in the shade of the alder tree, and I gazed melancholy at the clear water of the brook.

The bright moon rises in the sky, the stars blink,

We silently stared at the bright moon in the water, like silver light shining in the bright realm.

I don't look at the bright moon in the sky, nor at the twinkling stars, but only at her beautiful figure and those charming eyes..."

After nervous, restless, and careful polyphonic performance, Walter finally opened his arms wide, and confidently played out the eighth and quarter notes.

No.11, "Belongs to Me", is the happiest moment in the whole suite.

"Stop making noise, brook, silence quickly, waterwheel,

Jolly birds, sing no more, sing no more, sing no more ye. "

The girl happily danced in circles on the stage, seeming to reprimand her former partner "angrily", but in fact she was so complacent that she calmed down the stream and the birds, and she had something important to share with them:

"The same song resounds all over the field, the same song resounds all over the field,
That sweet mill girl she's mine, that sweet mill girl she's mine! "

31-32 section of the difficult segment, the melody jumps over nine degrees when it flows, but Miss Nightingale still maintains an incomparable coherence, with clear words, steady breath, and firm eyes, which very appropriately and beneficially express the protagonist The high-spirited emotion of "It's all about me" has made many church and royal judges who are inclined to Renilla nod repeatedly.

Getting along with lovers is sweet, but often within a few days, you will experience longing, suspicion and sadness.

The protagonist starts staring at the lyre hanging on the wall in a daze, staring at the token of love she left behind in a daze.

The capricious relationship between the two, the alternating ups and downs of love and suspicion, and the anxiety and torture in his heart made him unable to extricate himself.

No. 14, "Hunter", the music is transferred to the rare black C minor, the piano enters directly and strongly, playing continuous eighth notes with a tight breath, and the protagonist's love rival Hunter appears.

"The hunter prowled by the brook, why didn't the haughty hunter go into the forest?
There was no trace of a wild animal here, only a fawn that belonged to me.

If you want to see my tame fawn, put your shotgun in the woods,
Tether your hounds at home again, and let no horn make noise! ..."

The tone of the girl changed from a forced and calm narration to a pleading to fate. In No.15 "Jealousy and Pride", the piano continuously ran sixteenth notes, dotted with rhythmic double The sound continued to splash out, and this emotion turned into a vacillation between celebrating luck and burning with anger:
"Where are you rushing, dear brook, are you going to find the hunter to reason with?

go back, go back!
For loving that mill girl, I don't care about frivolity, go back, go back!
She did not stand at the door yesterday evening, nor stretch her neck to look for others,
When the hunter galloped past her door, her figure did not appear in the window! "

Master Luckert, who had been silent in the middle of the jury, finally picked up the "Fragrant Flower Bouquet" by the table with several of his students and followers.

Then, the movement still stopped in mid-air, and he looked at the girl in the blue skirt on the stage without blinking.

It has been too long since he has been deeply moved by such emotion in a work of art.

The start of Scheler's work is so lively and lively that the first ten songs only use one A minor, but here, the tragic trend makes the emotion take a sharp turn, and there are not many C minor and G minor. An extremely shocking effect!

The long-lost shock and touch!

"Go, Brook, go tell her, go, Brook, go to her.

It’s okay not to say anything, but you see I can’t find the right words,

Just say: He made a reed flute for you, which can play charming dance music for you.

go!go!go! ! ! ..."

Miss Nightingale screamed on the stage clutching her dress, and the protagonist, who had suffered a huge love trauma, began to become sensitive and melancholy, and became more concerned about gains and losses.

In the No.16 "Lovely Color", he was still pursuing the preferences of the other party when he fell in love with his sweetheart, trying to make her change her mind, but immediately became the No.17 "Hateful Color". The piano is played with left and right hands. Strike a single note, the melody in B major spans successively from #D in the first group of small letters to #F in the second group of small letters, and the repeated ups and downs of the ten-degree interval vividly portray the psychology of changing from love to hate, and also foretell the tragedy of the whole song happened.

No.18 "Falling Flowers".

The tone returned to the simple G major, and Walter quietly tapped the repeated and regular chord sequence with rests between his hands.

"She brought countless flowers to lay on my grave,

She seemed to understand my grief too, letting the tears keep streaming down her face,
Why are all her flowers withering?Why are all her flowers dying?
Oh tears cannot revive love like this dead branch..."

The audience stood dumbfounded, watching Miss Nightingale singing in loneliness. The plot of the long poem has evolved to this point, and it has become a complete love tragedy, because the beautiful miller girl is not in love with the protagonist, but a handsome hunter.

A series of descending notes flowed from Walter's fingertips, an extremely mournful melody, a heart-wrenching sadness.

Then the tonality was transferred to G minor of the same name, No.19 "The Grinder and the Stream", Walter's playing became more sluggish and stagnant, one note with the left hand, one note with the right hand, the lively and flowing stream in the past seemed to be frozen into ice up.

"When at last the infatuated heart is at peace, and the lilies of the garden are withered,

The bright moon in the sky hides in the clouds, in order to cover its tear-stained sad face,

The happy little angel also closed his eyes, and made his soul rest with a dirge.

When there is no more sorrow and sorrow in love, a new star will be born in the sky. "

In the first paragraph, the protagonist tells his former partner, Xiaoxi, and then the music returns to G major, and the thin accompaniment becomes a flowing sixteen-note again.

The brook seemed to comfort him, swaying calmly, clearly and softly.

"...Ah, Xiaoxi, dear Xiaoxi, what a beautiful word." An Zai shook his head with a low smile, and then responded softly,
"But Xiaoxi, do you know: this is my love."

Fan Ning, who had been sitting silently in the corner, turned around watching her blue back, walked towards the piano and sang in a low voice:

"I will rest in your cool waters,
O brook, darling brook, you keep singing,
Oh brook, dear brook, never stop singing. "

So the audience found that the girl finally finished her performance and returned to stand beside the piano.

"The Beautiful Miller Girl"...Why can this Mr. Scheler write such a poignant work with a major-key layout technique?Why did such a warm and song-like encounter end in such a tragedy in the end!
Damn it, this Scheler has no heart in writing "Court Love" to such an extent! ! !

Just like "Love is a question" keeps people awake at night! ! !

There should be another one, but the protagonist is dead, and the long narrative poem is over.

No.20, "Lullaby of the Creek".

Walter played the classical four-part harmony progression with both hands, the high and low voices are gentle lines of half notes, and the middle is filled with tender and swaying dotted rhythms.

"Sleep, sleep, close your eyes, and the wandering wanderer travels no further.

The true feelings are not lost, the sea swallows the brook in your arms, may your soul be at peace.

You will live in this blue crystal palace, sleep on a soft pillow and never wake up again.

Gently rippling, like the shaking of a cradle, so that the waif can fall into the dreamland safely. "

The peculiar color of E major, dissociated from the closed-loop G major at the beginning and end, shows that Miss Nightingale is finally singing the last song from the perspective of the narrator's creek.

"When the hunter's horn blows, my waves will sing for you,
Don't forget me, don't look around, so as not to touch the shadows, may you let him have a good dream in his deep sleep.

Go away, get off this bridge-path,
Maiden, you are beautiful but cruel,

Your presence will disturb his peace. "

Every time the last sentence of the verse repeats, the swaying four-part harmony filling will temporarily disappear, and the piano part will become a weak but neat major chord accompaniment.

The protagonist's life not only returns to peace, but his experience, his labor, and his love will gradually be forgotten by his sweetheart.

"Wish you would keep your white handkerchief,

so that I could cover his open eyes with it;
Good night, good night, when all things wake up, you will forget joy and sorrow,

The moon is rising and the night is foggy, but the sky is extraordinarily vast and pure..."

In the last two bars of music after the vocals ended, the rhythm pattern dotted by the piano reappeared, and the stream continued to flow until it disappeared into the distance.

Walter raised his wrists and stood up to salute. Luna, who was flipping the page, carefully followed his movements.

Miss Nightingale turned her eyes to the corner of the stage, and with a lively and cheerful smile again, she stared at the silhouetted figure in the dark.

After more than ten seconds of silence in the open-air opera house, restrained and deep applause came like a tide.
