Yang Jingxing never fails to take Chinese language classes on Tuesday mornings, because the professor, who is in his fifties, is very knowledgeable. He teaches the culture and art of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and has expertise in poetry. For Yang Jingxing, a semi-literate person, it is a treasure trove of culture.

.

Yang Jingxing has recited the lyrics written by Qi Qingnuo's mother countless times in his heart, hoping that practice will make perfect and love will develop over time, allowing him to be inspired by the words and blend in with them when composing music.

In the afternoon, there were sight-singing and ear training and English classes. Yang Jingxing skipped class again and worked hard alone in 402. Jian Yu is worthy of being an educated person with a musician husband, and the lyrics are really well written. Yang Jingxing was originally worried about the chorus

There was a problem, but after he had a rough idea of ​​the theme melody, he found that the problem did not exist at all. The seemingly beautiful and indifferent words in the lyrics actually contained strong thoughts and feelings.

Yang Jingxing originally wanted to take a gorgeous route in the accompaniment of the soundtrack, but in the end he chose piano and pipa. However, the instrumental music here is not a pure accompaniment, but two other protagonists besides the female vocals, almost two independent parts.

Echoing each other with the two female voices, the piano is responsible for more chord textures.

Normal singing rounds all have the same melody, but Yang Jingxing came up with a different tune. Although the theme is unified, the difference is still quite big, and it has to be closely related to the emotion of the lyrics.

A song requires almost four parts of the melody, which is quite nerve-wracking.

It was after six o'clock when Yu Xinting came to invite Yang Jingxing to dinner. But Yang Jingxing actually said, "Can you bring it over for me?"

Yu Xinting and An Xin hurried away without accepting Yang Jingxing's money. Half an hour later, each of them came back with a bag, a few boxes of lunch, a few dishes, and a bowl of soup. The two girls were still placing them, so Yang Jingxing started

I devoured the two boxes of lunch in five minutes, then sat down in front of the double-row keyboard and continued.

Yu Xinting and An Xin ate slowly, looking at Yang Jingxing from time to time. After eating, they cleaned up and prepared to leave after realizing that Yang Jingxing had no intention of chatting with them.

Yu Xinting asked: "Do you want to eat tonight?"

Yang Jingxing said: "No need... after this song is finished, let's go have hot pot."

Yu Xinting smiled: "Okay, I want to eat it too."

Yang Jingxing asked again: "Where is your braid?"

Yu Xinting looked at her chest and said, "It's not pierced."

An Xin said: "Prick one now."

Yang Jingxing said quickly: "No, I want to concentrate."

After ten o'clock in the evening, An Xin and Yu Xinting came again and brought the clothes to be washed. As a thank you, they both tied two braids.

Yu Xinting was a little apologetic: "I did her hair, and it's not as beautiful as hers."

Yang Jingxing said: "They are both beautiful, like two sisters."

An Xin smiled: "I am my sister."

Yang Jingxing changed his mind: "Like twins."

An Xin still wanted to be a sister. Yu Xinting put two clothes bags on the chair and explained: "This bag is mine, and this is An Xin's."

Yang Jingxing said: "I recognize him."

After returning home in the middle of the night, Yang Jingxing washed the clothes first. He shook them out one by one. Yu Xinting's long coat was actually wrapped in an autumn coat. It was light pink, thin, soft and small, which she had never seen before.

Pass.

On Wednesday, Yang Jingxing, like most people, skipped the ideological and moral cultivation and basic legal classes. He stayed in 402 since 8 o'clock in the morning, and only spent half an hour eating lunch. He did not accompany Yu Xinting and others to order stir-fries.

After finishing playing a large plate of Sirulu, quickly return to the classroom.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Qingnuo went to visit the 402 class. He was still panting. He stamped a bottle of mineral water in front of Yang Jingxing and said, "We just met No. 3. We laughed to death." No. 3 was the ones chasing He Peiyuan.

One of the boys was numbered third by the 306 people. They all said that this guy had a great sense of comedy and was good at making jokes.

Yang Jingxing asked: "Are you bullying people again?"

Qi Qingnuo said: "We did good things to cover up and send her to break out."

Yang Jingxing smiled: "You have to help each other."

Qi Qingnuo said: "My defense is high, I don't need... I'll take a look."

After reading all the scattered scores or fragments on Yang Jingxing's computer, Qi Qingnuo said: "So fast...what should we eat for dinner?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Yu Xinting and the others gave it to me."

Qi Qingnuo was envious: "Enjoying it so much? Ask her to count me in."

Yang Jingxing said: "You call yourself...ask Wang Rui and Nian Qing if they are free tomorrow afternoon, and we will rehearse it again."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Can you do it tomorrow afternoon?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Absolutely."

Qi Qingnuo asked: "Sing for Sister Ran and Fu Feirong?"

Yang Jingxing said: "That's our plan for the time being."

Qi Qingnuo knocked his half-empty water bottle on the chair: "Aren't you afraid that 306 will be jealous?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "This is my purpose."

Qi Qingnuo was proud again: "You are about to make a mistake."

After having dinner together, the girls left, leaving Yang Jingxing to continue his struggle.

On Thursday afternoon, a few people gathered together. Yang Jingxing printed out four copies of the score, with Yu Xinting in charge of piano and Wang Rui playing pipa. Qi Qingnuo sang the piano part and Nian Qing sang the pipa part. The whole song counts as four parts.

When two pairs cooperate, the two pairs complement each other and complement each other.

The name of the song was originally given by Qi Qingnuo's mother, called "Flowing Water Between Fingers". The lyrics are strictly interlaced rhymes, and the two female voices sing in turns on alternate lines. As the composer, Yang Jingxing first gave a general idea, briefly.

Let’s talk about the structure of the song and the basic requirements for performing and singing.

Qi Qingnuo worried: "Will it be too complicated and messy?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Try it again and then say it. If it doesn't work, change it."

So the girls read the music and became familiar with their responsibilities. Yu Xinting quickly started playing, discussing it with An Xin. Wang Rui was not to be outdone. She didn't say much and devoted herself seriously.

As for the performance of two instruments, the piano is slightly more difficult, because the main melody cooperates with a single voice, but the chord texture serves the overall effect, which is a bit separated, unlike ordinary songs or accompaniments with harmonious chords.

Close integration. Yang Jingxing studied the pipa for three to five days, using what he knew roughly to give full play to its expressive power. Although the melody used a combination of ancient and modern methods, the playing techniques were still traditional and Wang Rui could not be troubled at all.

As for the singing rotation between Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing, although the two voices of the song do not have very difficult euphemisms or exaggerated high notes, the comparison and dependence between the two are relatively strong in the past, which is a test of coordination.

It also tests independence. It is not impossible to sing separately and it will sound good, but the effect will be far worse than the two-in-one feeling.

Nian Qing and Qi Qingnuo are both professionals. Nian Qing is more professional in singing. The two compare the similarities and differences in each other's melodies and the feeling of singing in a low voice.

Qi Qingnuo suddenly said to Yang Jingxing: "You can't go away first, give us half an hour."

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I'll buy water for you."

Wang Rui said: "It's so cold, I want hot milk tea."

Nian Qing smiled: "You go to KFC and wait, and you will bring it back when you receive our call."

"Okay, I promise it'll be warm when you get back." Yang Jingxing went out and closed the door.

Qi Qingnuo began to conduct, asking Wang Rui and Yu Xinting to play it first. This time the prelude was Pipa, with a slight ancient rhyme. It was repeated several times to create a solid foundation for the audience. Then there was the piano prelude.

The variation is slightly faster in rhythm, and finally the piano's modulation combined with the pipa brings in Nian Qing's voice.

Nian Qing hummed the first line of the lyrics, keeping time to herself, then looked at Qi Qingnuo, and asked her to repeat the same line... The first two lines were exactly the same for both of them, and then they started to change and compare.

Qi Qingnuo hummed a few words and then shouted: "Xinting, you can play fast, don't rush!" This is a problem. Each of the four people has to be independent and cooperate with the other three. Although the melody is different

Pursue the feeling of catching up and comparing, but the performer and singer must not really catch up.

Wang Rui also said: "Don't think it's easy, be serious and let the weird uncle laugh!"

Yu Xinting nodded and rubbed her hands. In fact, Yang Jingxing had marked the details of the performance and singing on the score, but after all, Yu Xinting and the others had just read the score, and this song had a completely different structure and rhythm from the previous "Sun in the Rain"

.

Do it again, Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing stopped humming, Qi Qingnuo acted as the conductor, playing time for Yu Xinting and Wang Rui. After all, they are all professionals, and they performed completely this time.

Yu Xinting turned around in surprise: "It sounds so good!" It's a pity that Yang Jingxing is not here.

Wang Rui said: "The middle part doesn't feel quite right. Is it too fast?"

Qi Qingnuo frowned and looked at the score: "That's wrong, I didn't pay attention. Come on...Xinting, take a look at the third line of the fourth page. Don't stress too much." Then he scolded Wang Rui severely: "Look at you.

I'm speechless as to how the ending was played. Do you think you're the overlord and you're disarming yourself?"

Wang Rui shouted: "You were the one giving the blind orders! Come again!"

After a few people summarized it, they started it again. Nian Qing tried to sing softly, and Qi Qingnuo couldn't help it. After it was over, they summarized it again, dealt with the details, and then the four of them came together.

Singing it again is much harder than playing it again. Qi Qingnuo and Nian Qing are too lazy to criticize each other and just summarize their own problems.

Nian Qing regretted: "I shouldn't sing so high here."

Qi Qingnuo said: "It was me who slowed down a beat and listened to the piano."

An Xin was a bystander and said: "I feel your voice is too loud...the pipa is also a bit weak."

Wang Rui was irritated: "It was too heavy just now."

After playing it over and over again, the girls discovered that this was not a simple song. The details of the singing and performance were quite demanding. If a note was wrong, it would be so abrupt.

By three o'clock, An Xin was in front of the electric piano, and the girls felt a little bit better. Wang Rui was the first to be proud: "I'm fine this time! You're such a master! You haven't let me go yet!"
