A Bing is an artist from the grassroots. His communication method is through talking and singing on the streets. Compared with the current free communication model of online singers, Qiao Jianzhong believes that these favorable conditions were not available to A Bing back then. But it is difficult for another Abing to appear. ?Art must not be impetuous. Abing's artistic achievements are the result of his rich life experience, in-depth folk experience, and deep infiltration of traditional art. Therefore, it is particularly meaningful to study Abing's "suffering" success. , it is an inspiration to today’s artists. ?So do you know what A Bing’s erhu works are? Come and take a look!
Abing's erhu works:
"Two Springs Reflect the Moon"
The work was composed in 1950 of an erhu piece that he recorded and passed down in person. Since the advent of this piece, not only in the form of Erhu solo, Hua Yanjun is an outstanding folk musician in my country. A native of Wuxi, Jiangsu. He has been playing music since childhood and has been adapted into various forms of instrumental music. He is famous at home and abroad for his beautiful lyrical melody and deeply touching musical connotation.
"Listening to the Pine"
"Listening to the Pine" is also known as "Listening to the Song". Its content seems to be a description of Yue Fei, the great patriotic general of the Song Dynasty. The music borrows objects from the pines and chants. While praising the national hero Yue Fei's military power, it also pours out his upright character and firm and confident will. It praises the Chinese people's national integrity as noble as green pine trees, their strong will to fight as strong as steel and the heroes who defeat the enemy. spirit. The whole song is bold, powerful and can be called a musical treasure.
"Cold Spring Wind"
Through the description of the cold wind in early spring, the work expresses the heavy lamentation of the oppressed and the infinite yearning for a better life, and expresses the author's hardships and struggles. life and vision for a better life in the future.
"The Great Wave"
The work expresses the author's infinite emotion towards the injustice of the world and his attitude towards fate. This piece of music was recorded and notated by Yang Yinliu and Cao Anhe before it was preserved. According to what A Bing said during his lifetime, this song was originally a Taoist "Sanskrit" ensemble piece, which he played on the pipa. However, according to Yang Yinliu's research, this song does not exist in Taoism. The melody of the first section of the piece is similar to the melody of the first piece of Guangdong music "Three Pools Reflecting the Moon". It is very likely that Hua Yanjun composed this piece based on the tones he is familiar with. The biggest feature of this song is that although it is generally classified into the "Wenqu" category, it has its own distinctive content and emotional characteristics, which are closely related to Abing's life experience. For example, the use of the rhythmic sound patterns of gongs and drums, especially in the Adagio, creates an ups and downs and vigorous momentum, which indeed has the relationship with the words and phrases of Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao": "The river goes eastward, the waves are gone, and the romantic figures of the ages" are related. The Western Han Dynasty sang with the style of a bronze lute and an iron instrument. The use of long wheels also has a strong effect of compact undulations, showing an emotion that accuses the dark reality. As for the use of push-pull and portamento, it abandons the boudoir atmosphere of ordinary literary music, and replaces it with tough playing methods and the use of large and effective sliding tones, which is quite imposing.
《Dragon Boat》
The work describes people’s joyful scene during the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival. In order to express the joyful and complicated festival scenes, Abing chose the cyclic structure commonly used in folk wind and percussion music, with a section of "blow" and a section of "blow", alternating with the wind and percussion.
"Zhaojun's Departure from the Fortress"
By depicting Zhaojun's emotional changes when he left the fortress, the work expresses the author's infinite emotion for this historical event.
