Integrate rap and rap, use rap to lead singing, and express the words while singing. This is the most important feature that distinguishes folk art music from other traditional music categories in terms of musical style. Most of the performance books of the genres are based on medium-to-long stories, relying on one person or one person as the center of the rap without stage performance to depict the characters and interpret the story content. Therefore, special emphasis is placed on the "speaking" and "speaking" in the singing. The organic combination of "singing" and "singing" further highlights its narrative performance: ① The rhyme is white and the words are sincere. Sanbai is close to daily life language but is more refined, more accurate and more emotional than daily life language; Yunbai is a rhythmic recitation, like reciting poems, and the "speaking" needs to reflect the rhythmic beauty of the sound and rhythm. Regardless of whether it is loose or rhymed, the words must be clear and the true feelings can be seen in every sentence; ② Half speaking and half singing, with speaking in between singing. That is to say, in most singing tunes, white-speaking tunes are inserted, or the first half of a sentence is spoken and the second half is sung, or the first half of a sentence is sung and the second half is spoken, or a musical phrase or segment is followed by another, or a paragraph is spoken and then sung. In short, "speaking" and "singing" need to alternate and contrast in structure, each showing its own strengths, so that the plot and emotions can be developed and revealed in the changes of "speaking" and "singing". ③It sounds like talking and singing, and the singing is perfect. That is to say, the tune is closely integrated with the pronunciation of the language, so that the tune embodies the unique characteristics of rap, which is speaking rather than speaking but resembling singing, and singing but not singing but resembling speaking, thus making the singing tune pleasant to the ears and sound cordial and simple. 4) Singing is the main part, and the words are revealed during singing. That is to say, some types of songs that are mainly sung or have strong singing accents still need to show the characteristics of "speaking". In addition, the accent changes with the lyrics, and the words are correct and round, so that people can taste the emotional changes of the characters in lyrical singing. In addition to plot development, people must also be able to clearly understand the deeper meaning of what is being sung. That is to say, it is not only necessary to "sing the voice" and "sing the emotion", but also "sing the meaning".
The cavities are diverse and all-inclusive. Folk art music has complex sources, diverse genres, and informal structures. Almost all musical forms and genres included in other categories of traditional music can be found in folk art music. The singing styles of many types of music are based on local materials and use other local folk music as materials to construct the basic tone of this type of music. Some may be various folk songs, some may be opera tunes, some may be song and dance pieces, and some may be spoken in white. Count boards, some also contain instrumental music. Secondly, the music styles are eclectic and come in different shapes, including singles, couplets, tunes, hybrids, and various sentence and paragraph compositions, which can be flexibly used in various types of music.
Sings and accompanies, plays and sings by himself, and also uses supporting accent. This is a distinctive feature of folk art music in terms of music accompaniment form: ① The central rappers of most folk art genres have one or two musical instruments to accompany themselves, either playing drums, bangles, or playing strings. For example, the rappers of the drum-type music type play the book drum and calligraphy board by themselves; the rappers of the tan-ci type music type play the sanxian or pipa by themselves; the rappers of the Taoqing type music type play the fishing drum and bamboo board; The rappers who play the dulcimer type play the dulcimer by themselves; the rappers who perform walking-singing types of music play with various props; the rappers who sing the ban-chan type of music play their own bangs, banban, and tablets. Any outstanding folk artist is an artist who is good at "singing", "speaking" and "playing". If there is other musical accompaniment, the rapper will also be the center to complement the tune. ② The selection of accompaniment instruments, except for the central rapper who also plays, the rest are mostly string instruments, such as sanxian, yueqin, pipa, zhuihu, erhu, dulcimer, etc. The accompaniment music is divided into two types: "Guoban music" and "Following tune music". Fill-in music includes prelude, introduction and fill-in. The preludes of certain types of music are relatively independent instrumental music, and are often called "opening songs" and "daily songs", such as the "Bantou Song" of the Henan major tune and the "Dabenqu" of the Bai nationality tune. These include "Putting Three Stages" and "Small Putting Three Stages". For folk art performances, the prelude has the functions of making noise, silence, practicing skills, setting the tone, and adjusting the voice; the introduction is the instrumental accompaniment guide before rapping, and is structurally a whole with the singing that follows; the introduction is the singing phrase or An instrumental accompaniment that serves as a connection and transition between sections. The transitions between sections are generally called "small transitions" and the transitions between sections are generally called "big transitions." Accompaniment music is the instrumental accompaniment that synchronizes with the singing. There are two main techniques: "accompaniment with the accompaniment" and "contrasting accompaniment". The accompanying accompaniment, that is, the instrumental accompaniment music is basically the same as the singing melody. It seems to be played in unison but has changes in simplified and traditional Chinese, which plays the role of moistening the tune; the contrasting accompaniment, that is, the instrumental accompaniment music and the singing melody form a contrast, and the two have different rhythm and melody progression. There are many differences, which can enrich the emotion of singing and enhance the expressiveness of singing.
