Two-segment bodies and three-segment bodies are more common, so let's not talk about it! The most typical example of a passage is: In that faraway place by Mr. Wang Luobin, the king of western songs!
1. Using chords to compose music is suitable for writing harmonic progression first, and then adding melody. The melody of this kind of music is very harmonious with the chord of the accompaniment! The harmony of the melody is particularly obvious! However, the general length is relatively short!
At this time, the guitar has different speeds and strumming rhythms, and different broken chord fingering. We can feel different melodies with different changes in strong and weak beats! Will produce different creative inspiration!
For example, Li Shengjie's <; < Infatuation is absolute > > The chord of the climax (that is, the chorus) is very obvious!
and you can sing Priscilla Chan's <; < Qian Qian Quege > > Prelude, melody, interlude and epilogue to try to experience it!
2. Use pure natural scales to compose music. Suitable for writing long melodies! Write the melody first, then the harmony!
for example:
major diatonic scale: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
minor diatonic scale: 6 7 1 2 3 4 5
3. Use various characteristic scales to compose music.
I want to focus on this point!
We can use the characteristic scales of various countries or ethnic groups to compose music!
such as:
a. pentatonic scale commonly used in China
pentatonic scale in major: 1 2 3 5 6
pentatonic scale in minor: 61235
b. harmony minor scale: 671234 # 5
c. giant Fregia scale: 1b2345b6b7 (Phrygia). Flamenco scale!
D. Various modes of diatonic scale: [/B]
Ionia mode: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (Ionian), that is, diatonic scale in major!
Dorian model: 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 (Dorian
Fregia model: 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 (Phrygian)
Lydia model: 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 (Lydian)
Mixed Lydia model: 5 6. 7 1 2 3 4 (Mixolydian)
Ionian mode: 6712345 (Ionian), that is, minor diatonic scale!
Locklear mode: 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 (Locrian)
The way in which the above diatonic scales start with different notes and are arranged in order downwards is called: the rotating method!
e. Subtraction scale: 12b34b5b6bb7 (6) 7
f. Semi-total subtraction scale: 1b2b33b56b7
g. Whole scale: 1 2 3 #4 #5 # 6
H. blues scale: 1b34b55b7 (blues
i. mixed blues scale: 1b34b55b7
j. Italian scale: 1 2 3 # 456b7 (Lydian-Dominant
k. Super Locorian scale: 1b2b3b4b6b7 (super-locrian)
L. Indian scale: 1 2 3 4 5 b6 b7 (Hindu)
M. gypsy scale: 1b3 # 45b6b7 (gypsy)
n. Hungarian scale: 1 # 23 # 456b7 (Hungarian)
O. Hungarian minor scale: 1 2 b3 # 45b67 (Hungarian minor)
P. Melody major scale: 12345b671b7b654321
q. Melody minor scale: 6 7 1 2 3 #4 # 565432176
R. Japanese scale: 67134
S. Russian scale: 6 (b7) 7 1 2 3 4 (#4) 5 (# 5)
T. Jazz minor scale: 12b34567
U. Arabic scale: 1 b2345b6b7
V. Napoli major scale: 1b2b34567
W. Napoli minor scale 1b2. B345b67
X. Oriental scale: 1 b2 3 4 b5 6 b7
In fact, simply speaking, you are always ready to add one or several inflections, that is, semitones, to the melody of your natural scale! You can raise a semitone or lower it! It depends on your own preferences!
4. Compose music with the help of the scale characteristics of various musical instruments. [/B]
For example, the Hulusi, a Yunnan musical instrument, has only one 8-degree plus one note, so when composing music, you'd better consider the range of this instrument!
Another example is: Xinjiang musical instrument is a plucked instrument with two nylon strings, so you can add a lot of smooth sounds when composing music!
5. compose music by imitating the way of high and low pronunciation. [/B] That is to say, when you read the lyrics, read the cadence of the lyrics, and the ups and downs of the melody are consistent with the ups and downs of the pronunciation of Chinese characters. Just like singing and talking! Compose music according to the four tones of Chinese Pinyin. Suitable for lyrics first, then songs.
the secret of imitating pronunciation and composing music!
secret, two words: nice!
write as you like!
Specifically:
Chinese characters have four pronunciations:
Yin Ping, Yang Ping, Shang Sheng and De Sheng. Among them, the word "Shang" is pronounced as the third sound!
If it is used to compose music for lyrics:
For example:
If the word after the first word is flat, that is, the first sound, then the melody sound above this word can be as high as the first word before when composing music, but it can also be high or low!
If the second word is Yangping, that is, the second sound of Chinese Pinyin, the melody sound of this word is slightly higher than that of the previous first word when composing music!
If the second word is the upper tone, that is, the third tone of Chinese Pinyin, the melody sound above this word can be slightly lower than that of the previous first word when composing music!
If the second word is the falling tone, that is, the fourth tone of Chinese Pinyin, the melody sound above this word can be slightly higher or lower than that of the previous first word when composing music!
this is just a general rule that I understand myself, for reference only! When you compose music, you can completely break this frame! Or use this method in part!
The comparison of pitch mentioned above is not fixed or stipulated! It's just that I made it up for your convenience! I hope it can help you! ! !
For example:
Tony Leung Chiu Wai's <; < Love a little a day > >
Chen Xiaodong's
Dick and Cowboy's
Stefanie's < < Began to understand > >
Yu Chengqing <; < Love cannot be > >
Hui Zhou <; < Convention > >
Yang Kun <; < Doesn't matter > >
adu's < < He must love you very much > >
Beyond <: < Like you > > ,< < Interwoven with thousands of hearts > > The lyrics and melodies are very obvious!
Let me add that:
The most typical singer who composes music in this way of imitating speech is:
Richie Jen
like his <; < Too soft > > ,< < Very hurt > > Wait a minute, there are many songs!
Lao lang
<; < You at the same table > > ,< < From my heart > > Wait a lot!
Pu Shu
<; < Birch forest > > ,< < Those flowers > > ,< < In the field of hope > > ,< > Wait!
Xu Wei
There are many! Such as <: < Hometown > > Wait, I won't list them one by one! Too many!
Zheng Jun
<; < Back to Lhasa > > ,< < Commodity society > > Wait, there are many!
in addition, you can also pay attention to the singer Wang Feng's <; < Huahuo > > ,< < In the rain > > Wait for the song!
In short, all the songs that make you feel that you are talking to you or chatting or having a heart-to-heart talk when you listen to them for the first time are created in this way! Most campus songs are like this!
The most typical example is:
A singer who sings like an old friend:
Cai Qin
<; < Just like your tenderness > > ,< < Your eyes > > Wait!
Sometimes, you can imitate various tones and emotions to compose music!
singers who like shouting and calling:
A Mei
<; < Give me a feeling > > ,< < Jianai > > Wait!
There are many excellent singers whose songs are like this!
such as:
Hui Zhou, Faye Wong, Na Ying ...
Chyi Chin, Yu Quan, Dick and Cowboy ...
Too many! ! ! I can't finish talking!
Why do some songs sound particularly comfortable? Because they are composed by imitating speech, there is a kind of music that is similar to semi-rap! Most of this music is still very nice! Most campus folk music is composed in this way. Such as: Lao Lang, Pu Shu, Xu Wei, etc.
In addition, there are some rappers, and they are totally singing and talking! They can't compose music at all! Just have a good sense of rhythm! Of course, it is more talkative! Keep your mouth shut!
of course, you can't kill everything with a stick!
There are also very few rappers and their music is good!
6. Compose music by scale module.
scale module: that is, the melody composed of scales goes up or down according to the same law and pattern!
that is, the melody at the back imitates the melody at the front!
For example:
Uplink: 1234 2345 3456 4567 5671
(The last one is eight degrees higher than the first one! )
171 212 323 434 545 656 767
(The first 7 is bass and the rest is alto! )
1671 2712 3123 4234 5345 6456 7567 1
(The first two short paragraphs 6 and 7 are bass, the rest are midrange sounds, and the last 1 is treble! )
note: the first scale of each short paragraph is doing the ascending scale!
and the internal composition of each small segment is the same as that of other small segments!
Downlink: 4324 3213 2172 1761 7657 6546 5
(From the third paragraph, 7, 6, 5 and 4 are bass, and the rest are alto! )
6316 5275 4164 3753
(1, 2 and 3 in the first three paragraphs are high notes, and the rest are alto! )
note: the first scale of each short paragraph is doing the descending scale!
and the internal composition of each small segment is the same as that of other small segments!
explain it in detail!
For example: 1671 2712 3123 4234 5-(where 6 and 7 are bass))
Let's carefully analyze the structure of this note:
Let's treat each note as a 1/16th note for the time being, so every 4 notes is a beat, and the first note of each beat is:
1. It's like going up stairs, taking steps and going up step by step! Of course, you can also enter at two levels! As long as the melody of the written song is good!
Let's analyze each bar again:
1671
1 to 6 are 3-degree intervals, 6 to 7 are 2-degree intervals, and 7 to 1 are 2-degree intervals!
2712
2 to 7 are 3-degree intervals, 7 to 1 are 2-degree intervals, and 1 to 2 are 2-degree intervals!
3123
3 to 1 is a 3-degree interval, 1 to 2 is a 2-degree interval and 2 to 3 is a 2-degree interval!
the same is true!
as you can see, their structures are the same!
that is to say, they follow the same pattern to raise the scale!
of course, you can go down the stairs just like going up the stairs!
such as: 4132 3721 2617 1576 (from the second bar, 567 is bass)!
I jump, I jump, I jump!
I jump two levels, the next level, the next level, and the next level!
