the overture of journey to the west
This is a song with a high level of form, connotation and verve. It is also a song that ordinary people don't quite agree with, and TV stations often cut it. Simple melody and organic repetition, these four basic musical elements, are so concise but profound that almost all musical expressions are used. The whole song is a Rondo, with wind music playing at the beginning, electronic music, guzheng, pipa and other musical instruments ensemble. After a tense overture, symbolizing the birth of the Monkey King and the arrival of the devil, the theme of learning from the scriptures appeared. Then the female chorus part is graceful and graceful, symbolizing all the attractive and gorgeous things on the way to the Heavenly Palace and the Buddhist scriptures. After the theme of Buddhist scriptures appeared for the second time, after an interlude, the second female chorus was the first variation, and the color turned hazy and lyrical, symbolizing the difficulties and obstacles on the way to learning Buddhist scriptures. Subsequently, the theme of learning from the scriptures appeared for the third time, which was more powerful and implied that the road to learning from the scriptures was indomitable. The ending is a humorous electronic drum. Finally, the harp was struck, the wind chimes sounded, and the whole song ended with two passionate chords. & ltbr & gt
In terms of connotation, this overture is in the same strain as the traditional western opera overture. Through the variation and contrast of several themes, the emotional color of the plot is well displayed and the comedy tone of the whole play is laid. Formally, this song boldly adopts electronic music, national symphony orchestra and vocal mixing. The works with distinctive national style have the shadow of the western region style in the Tang Dynasty, and what is even more amazing is that modern rock elements are perfectly integrated into music. From music, we can feel the charm and romantic passion of a sacred fairy tale world. The prelude at the beginning is accompanied by the scene of Tang priest climbing the ladder and Wukong getting drunk, which is magnificent. Finally, the shadow of Wukong rowing a raft and the shadow of Tang Priest riding a horse in the sunset have a desolate aesthetic feeling, and the timid Tang Priest has also become a stalwart at this time. This piece of music is integrated with the whole story and describes the indomitable romantic spirit. For example, the summoning power played on the trumpet gives people indomitable motivation, and the beautiful melody in the chorus is like flying in the air. We can understand it as a very romantic optimism about the difficulties and obstacles ahead. The tambourine is full of Arabic colors and exotic feelings, just like walking in a foreign country, which makes people think. The electronic onomatopoeia in the tune is full of humor, and the brilliant ending of the harp at the end of the tune indicates the final happy ending. & ltbr & gt
When listening to this piece of music, there is always a refreshing sense of sublimity and mystery. The indomitable fighting spirit against evil and difficulties, the passion of unremitting struggle, the will to make progress, and the open-minded and degenerate feelings have gained a magnificent sense of great consciousness and wisdom. People can't help but resonate in their hearts. For example, through unremitting efforts and efforts, they have defeated demons and sublimated their souls. The nature from the universe calls itself, and the soul wanders in the lonely time and space with the melody of light dance. The spirit has been baptized and sublimated, as pure as religion. & ltbr & gt
This song has reached the highest level of form, connotation and charm!
