Chapter 753 "Summer Noon Dream" (Part )

"Humanity! Listen!

What is deep midnight saying?

I slept, I slept—

I woke from a deep dream;

This world is deep,

Deeper than the day could imagine! "

As the vocal line climbed with difficulty, Fanning's eyes were filled with reverie, and many images that had long been buried in the deepest part of his heart flashed through his mind.

The creation was performed in front of the piano on the theater stage on the night when I was inspired by Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Miss Nightingale and little girl Luna were still taking a nap beside him. When he looked up, he saw the ice-blue stars falling gracefully through the gaps in the ceiling of the hall.

The oboe persistently emphasizes the third-degree glissando, while the orchestra's slow background rotates as densely as a millstone under Fanning's control.

Drag everything into an abyss where the bottom cannot be seen.

In the darkness, there were eternal warnings and sighs.

"Bing-bang-bing-bang-"

The next moment, the morning bell rang as expected.

Movement 5, “The Angel Told Me”.

In the children's choir, the children sang repetitive patterns imitating the sound of bells, while the bassoon and bass clarinet formed counterpoint with a lively dotted rhythm.

"Three angels sang a sweet song, such joy that it echoed through heaven,

They rejoiced with joy, for the host and the guests had been redeemed.”

Wonderful, really wonderful.

As expected, it is Scheler whose fame has been rising in recent years.

Shele was able to compete with the Northern Continent and the Western Continent even after the Southern Continent suffered heavy losses and declined.

The seats in the square were filled with almost all the top media and music critics from all over the world. When the symphony gradually entered its later stages of development, everyone could clearly and deeply feel what it sounded like to have a top work written by a truly top genius of a period!

The feeling is that compared with this work, which has extremely strong distinctive recognition, fascinating mystical experience, transcendence of geographical and historical scope, and is a model of perfect formal logic and musical technique, the general "masterpiece" even becomes a little mediocre!

It is said that when Scheller made his comeback not long ago, he seemed to have some unpleasant encounters with the authorities?

Otherwise, is it possible that the organizing committee will schedule it a little later instead of at noon?

Some people have heard some rumors and can't help but speculate at this time.

But it is impossible to guess the intention of the authorities at the moment, because there are too many "rumors" recently, far more than just this one, otherwise the atmosphere would not be so subtle.

Before everyone knew it, the short chorus had ended and the work entered its sixth movement.

"Love Tells Me", a solemn adagio, a free rondo form.

Time in the square froze into a slowly flowing wind. Fanning closed his eyes, and the past events came to his mind vividly, making it difficult to forget.

Under his instruction, the string section unleashed a perfectly interwoven harmonic ribbon, and the solemn and tranquil love theme in D major flowed out from the violin part.

The metaphorical meaning of the entire work is completely revealed in the minds of the audience. The praise of nature is just a cover for "Dream of Summer Noon" and an opportunity to write it.

The real mystery contained in it is the process of describing how the world started from the chaos of nothingness, first went through the evolution and conflict from nothing to something, then changed from low-level plants to high-level animals and higher-level humans, and finally sublimated into angels and the revelation of love!

The minor-key texture of the wind instrument group is added to express the interlude in the rondo, and the music forms three deep and longing emotional troughs.

Each time they become darker and heavier, separating the theme of love.

But with each gradually strengthening expansion of harmony and melody, the peak of the theme's reappearance becomes brighter and more brilliant!

"Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-Boom!-"

At the end, the timpani, which had been silent for a long time, beats out endless fourth notes, symbolizing the gate of heaven opening wide.

Everything in the world is immersed in endless longing and yearning, white-hot passion, and heart-wrenching suffering. As the melody rises to its climax, the opposition between violence and pastoral poetry tends to be reconciled, and the spirits of "Dionysus" and "Apollo" are no longer distinguishable from each other. Those projected bubbles that exist in spiritual perception and illusion seem to merge into a large ball of clear and bright spherical light and shadow, freezing Fanning's action of closing the beat on the stage at this moment of celebration!

This is a "masterpiece"!

If it were in previous years, I'm afraid it would have directly reached the top! However, this year's Harvest Art Festival did have more unpredictable variables and a more subtle atmosphere that was different from the past.

The lingering sound of the final chapter "Love Tells Me" dissipated into the air.

The square was quiet for a moment, with only the rustling sound of various flags blown by the wind.

Was it because I was so shocked that I couldn't help myself, was it because it was hard to find an appropriate way to express myself, or was it some other external factor? I couldn't explain it clearly for a moment.

"Pah, pah. pah."

A solitary round of applause rang out.

It was Poglelic in the front row who was applauding.

His head was slightly tilted back, gazing at the bandstand at the natural height difference, his expression still calm.

The frequency of high fives is moderate, crisp and steady.

Mr. Wax turned his head and glanced at his leader. Then he began to look around at the patrol officers.

"Pah, pah. pah."

The inspectors smiled with approval and began to applaud one after another.

"Wow, wow, wow."

“Crash!!!—”

The praise of the distinguished guests infected the audience, and warm applause and cheers gradually rang out in the square.

Fanning made the first bow in the direction of Poglerich.

Then there are the other directions.

Then, there was still no choice but to arrange a return performance.

However, this time the audience understood Scheller very well. Firstly, most of the other musicians had left the stage in a hurry, so they were used to it. Secondly, this "Dream of Summer Noon" was indeed long enough, 100 minutes, and the content was rich and comprehensive enough.

Fanning bowed twice.

The third time, he turned sideways, waved his arms, and led all the musicians and choir members to stand up and salute.

During this time, he always had an inexplicable smile on his face.

Some listeners thought it was elegant, some thought it was free and easy, but more people felt that there was always some kind of indescribable profound meaning in it.

And when he led the group to bow for the third time, the smile deepened.

Then several inspectors came on stage.

Give flowers, congratulate, and say thank you.

Thank you for understanding each other and for sharing your inspiration.

The first person to shake hands with him was Laxus, the head of the "Potential Artists" investigation team.

More nobles, colleagues, writers and music critics came on stage to present flowers to him.

At the same time, a slight creaking sound of iron chains was heard behind the bandstand.

The same sound could be heard in several prominent areas of the square.

There were many people raising the flag.

There were many flags flying here, including the flags of several continental countries, the flags of churches or academics, and the flags of important groups such as the "Association of Friends of Music of San Perto" and the "Association of the Recording Industry of Theolaine".

At this time, what was gradually lifted up by the chain gear was naturally the national flag of the South Country. After all, Scheele was the symbol of the South Country.

A traditional tribute in every process.

But after it rose to a certain height, more and larger flags located behind the original perspective relationship rose up in the square, reaching a higher height!

The color scheme is blue, gray and white, and the background outlines the simple lines of the windows and bookcases, which seems to be some kind of indoor scene, and the visual subject is a huge round table with about 1/4 of the arc exposed.

There is a small knife on the round table.

Most of the audience were confused.

Although this flag has a very high level of craftsmanship in terms of color, lines and composition, and the aesthetic experience is very high, it is indeed something I have never seen before.

Is it a new association or group? Or is it a merger of some well-known groups? A new design? There has been no shortage of news about such big movements recently.

A few people did recognize some clues, because the small knife on the round table was exactly the same as the badge on the Special Patrol Office investigator's certificate!

But they still don't quite understand, after all, the knife only occupies the middle part of the entire flag symbol

Only a few people recognized the whole thing.

Roundtable

This is the flag that the "discussion group" has hung at the back of the venue when it held roundtable meetings over the years! This is the logo of the "discussion group"! !

Fan Ning suddenly understood.

He felt like he had figured something out.

No, to be precise, I found some kind of "vocabulary".

He couldn't help but search for the word that would accurately describe this ongoing, subtle atmosphere of celebration.

Really interesting.

It was as if I had personally experienced a famous historical scene similar to that in my previous life, and the corresponding role I played was that of the conductor named "Furtwängler".

1942, "Black Beethoven Ninth Concerto".
