With the growth of experience and age, people will like silence more and more. Judging from the style of listening to songs, I will also turn around and quietly like some slow-paced songs. This change is unconscious and intangible, because nothing can stop the changes that time brings to the mind. Years will make the heart become more and more quiet in constant purification and accumulation, and songs can sing our hearts.

Now, if you listen to it again or learn to sing those rock songs you liked in the past, it will suddenly be a little difficult to get into the state, or even unacceptable. When I was young, I was so fascinated by the rock music that I clapped my hands and shouted. Now, I despise it.

Why is this happening? Circumstances are born from the heart, what is the heart like.

Bird, my friend is a rare "quiet song". To say that it is quiet does not mean that there is no singing, but a piece of pure music, but that people can find a kind of quietness and beauty in singing. I've loved it for years. There is a story behind the birth of this song.

In 1980s, China produced a world-class coloratura soprano-Uygur singer Di Ribar. Shi Guangnan, a composer, was delighted with this and specially tailored the song "Little Bird, My Friend" for her, but Diliber didn't know about it before going abroad. Unfortunately, in May of 1990, Mr. Shi died of sudden illness. Due to the underdeveloped communication at that time, Di Ribar never had the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Shi Guangnan personally, nor did he have the opportunity to sing this song, which became a regret in the history of China music. Later, she won the position of lifelong soloist at the Finnish National Opera House. If Mr. Shi were still alive, she would feel happy and excited to see such a great success. It was not until the concert commemorating the anniversary of Shi Guangnan's death 10 that Duribert sang this famous song with gratitude.

Bird, my friend.

A bird landed on my window,

Steal the poem I just wrote.

My poem praises the blue sky,

Ask the bird to be my bosom friend, huh? ...

You see, that bird knows poetry,

Flying freely under the blue sky,

Like being drunk,

Gently camel away the song I just left my lips,

My song is calling for the forest,

Let the shade protect my dear friend.

You listen to birds and know music,

Singing in the shade,

Sing that friendship lasts forever,

Bird, my friend! ah ...

Bird, my friend!

The lyrics are on it, how concise and vivid. Essentially, a poem describes a painting. In fact, the same is true of a song, but the expression is different. When we hear the beautiful string rhythm and taste the affectionate words, we will definitely see such a picture:

The blue sky is blue, the white clouds are blossoming, the distant mountains are blue, and the summer sunshine casts mottled shadows on the grass through the dense forest. A young girl, walking in the shade of a tree or lying on the grass, with a long skirt fluttering, enjoys the tranquility and comfort given by nature. A beautiful bird flew to the window of a cabin in the forest and quietly took away the poem just written. It dedicated the lyrics to the girl, it was flying, it was singing, it was encouraging her to sing. When the song finally opened from the girl's lips, the breeze became moist and soft. You listen to birds and know music. Singing, too. They are talking softly, praising the blue sky together, calling for the forest, and the spirituality hidden in everything is completely awakened ... With the continuous progress of piano music, the singer's voice is constantly pushed up, and in the complex sentence of flapping wings, human voice and music complement each other and reach the peak. The bird seems to be telling a fascinating story. It whispered in her ear and circled before her eyes. At this moment, the mountains, the earth and the sky are so free and pure, her heart has already been released, her eyes have become moist, and her heart is sending out the truest call. Bird, my friend! Come and be my bosom friend, huh? ...

This is the imagination and artistic conception that songs bring to us. The background music of "Little Bird, My Friend" is simple, only accompanied by piano music, but the sense of progress and three-dimensional sense is very distinct; The lyrics are also very concise. Simplicity is the most beautiful and true, so it can also touch our hearts most.

The biggest feature of the song is that Mr. Shi Guangnan vividly expresses the image of a bird in musical language, twittering and coquetry. If you listen carefully, you can feel the bird flapping, flapping, turning and talking in front of our eyes, ears and hair tips.

The most difficult part of the song is that it needs to be sung with coloratura art, that is, it shows noble lyric lines and strong tension changes in the dazzling singing in the high-pitched area, and its range is higher than that of the general soprano.

What is coloratura? Coloratura is a kind of bel canto, which belongs to the most delicate and flexible part of lyric soprano. The main feature is to sing decorative sounds around the main theme with the basic aria of flowers, thus creating various musical and dramatic effects. This kind of cadenza needs the flexibility and flexibility of sound, and at the same time it has a high degree of drama and elasticity. In other words, without a certain foundation and control over the retraction and smooth rotation of the high notes, it is difficult for a singer to keep his voice in tune. Therefore, a very difficult coloratura work often needs to synthesize various coloratura skills. In western operas, coloratura is the most widely used.

I think, so far, only Di Ribar and Cui can sing Birds, My Friend. If you are interested, compare their tastes. They were all born in 1958, so it is easier to compare with their peers. From the bottom of my heart, I prefer Cui's version Her voice, like silk fluttering in the breeze, is dry, mellow and shiny, and full of magnetic beauty.

Cui is a famous coloratura soprano and a native of Dalian. She once performed Mozart's opera The Magic Flute in Japan, so she won the reputation of "The Night after China". When she performed the Italian opera La Traviata during the Asian Games in Beijing, she was praised as "the best heroine of La Traviata since the founding of the People's Republic of China".

Why is she the best female voice in China? Listen carefully to her songs, you will find that the timbre is beautiful and refined, full, hot, simple and sweet; The range is also very wide, the control of high-pitched rotation is in place, and the exhalation seems to be in the ear, giving people a vivid feeling. She is good at singing traditional folk songs with soprano skills. When singing this song, she is calm and comfortable, with strong feelings and strong appeal. This song has a breath coming to us, as if the wings of birds fly in front of our eyes and the air flows with it. Few people can sing to this extent.

What is the success of a song? I think "three hearts" can win the audience. In other words, it is necessary to achieve the unity of qu Xin (the composer's mind), Ci Xin (the composer's pattern and mind) and singing Xin (the singer's ability to understand and express). The three are indispensable and complement each other. From this, we will know a truth. People who can compose their own music, write their own lyrics and sing their own songs must be talents in the music industry, and singers who can't simply sing other people's works can compete. Unfortunately, such masters are rare. Furthermore, if a song has beautiful tunes and appropriate lyrics, but no singer can really understand and appreciate the artistic connotation expressed by the first two, it will also be greatly discounted. And an excellent singer will add color and sublimation to the work itself.

There is no doubt that Cui did it. Her nightingale-like euphemistic voice can freely show gorgeous charm and pure coloratura color in the widest range, which is really amazing. She only released two albums in her life, and "Birds, My Friend" was included in Cui? In the world famous song Fever Day CD.

"three hearts in one" will enter the brain and the heart. But as an audience, what kind of heart do we need to report to appreciate it? A friend gave an excellent suggestion. She said to add the listener's "initial heart". Only when you don't forget that your initiative is not troubled by troubles and trifles can you experience the wonderful scenery brought by music.

"Qu Xin, Ci Xin, Sing Xin, Initial Heart" is a combination of four hearts, and there are many tricks and levels of suggestions!

Finally, let's listen carefully again and feel the spiritual interaction between Cui and the bird she wants to sing with everyone's "initial heart" from birth. In the song, she has been melted, melted in the blue sky and white clouds, and melted in the Mu Ye in the mountains. She seems to have become a flapping bird ... In the sun and under the shade, her wings are as delicate as dragonfly wings, and Ming Che falls together; Her wings are as gorgeous as butterfly feathers, and they tremble. They are shaking and inciting affectionately, whispering in lingering, lingering in whispering.

Perhaps at this moment, we have unconsciously integrated into the song, and our body and mind have been invisibly melted. Perhaps only at this moment will we feel the beauty of the artistic conception of "the wind has not moved, the flag has not moved, and the heart is moving" in the passionate world.

Welcome to enjoy: bird, my friend.
