Beethoven, a great German musician, thinks that music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy ... whoever can fully understand the meaning of music can transcend the unspeakable suffering of ordinary people. It shows that music has the functions of influencing, shaping and saving people. When people are doing strong physical labor, in order to reduce the mental burden, they issue "Hang Yo! Hey! " The voice, especially in collective labor, is more useful to unify the pace and focus with the rhythm of singing. This is how the labor song is produced. Another example is repetitive work that lasts for a long time. In order to avoid monotony and mental fatigue, people will naturally send out various songs to adjust their spirits. Such as picking tea, grazing, rocking boats, transplanting rice seedlings, etc., although the rhythm is not necessarily in tune with the labor movements, with the adjustment of singing, people will feel relaxed and reduce the sense of loneliness and boredom.
When we are very happy, we will sing and dance at the same time. When we were very depressed, suddenly a beautiful melody floated to our ears. Trouble and unhappiness vanished immediately, without a trace.
When men and women want to express their love, they will sing from the heart. For example, butterfly lovers, a well-known violin concerto in China, left a deep impression on people with the first movement of "Love". The solo flute played a bright and beautiful tune on a soft string background, and the oboe played a beautiful and charming melody. It shows a beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River with beautiful weather, birds and flowers, and beautiful spring. This is a theme of love, which is beautiful and moving, showing the sincere and simple love of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the sincere answer between cello and violin, and describing the scene of grass bridge becoming sworn. After that, the band and violin complement each other, making the love theme more warm and enjoyable. This is a passionate, sincere and sincere song of love from the heart.
When one's relatives and friends are far away from him, out of sincere yearning and expectation of reunion, one sends feelings to songs, which is the origin of most lyric songs. For example, Camel Bell by Wang Liping, a famous Chinese songwriter, vividly describes the depressed, affectionate, reluctant farewell feeling of sending his comrades on a journey, and at the same time expresses the deep affection and revolutionary friendship of his comrades who were "cold at midnight, take care all the way".
In people's collective life, there are often assembly activities, such as demonstrations, parades, group exercises and so on. At this time, everyone sang songs with bright rhythm and vigorous tone, with a strong momentum and sent them to feelings. This is the origin of military songs, marches and queue songs.
In order to adjust their spirits, people listen to relaxed and happy music while eating, drinking tea and having a rest, which makes people feel refreshed and increase their happy mood. This is one of the reasons why ancient banquets and restaurants, bars and coffee bars have emerged today. Even in the loss of relatives, close friends or beloved things, in the case of grief-stricken, they can't help but cry and sing, which is the origin of elegy, mourning song, coronach and elegy.
When people tell a story or a vivid plot for Chen, they often express it by singing, narration, narration, which is the origin of long narrative songs and Quyi music.
When people's feelings can't be expressed by singing, they borrow the timbre, range and playing techniques of various musical instruments, and transcend the limitation of human voice, and use solo, ensemble, concerto and other forms, which is the reason why all instrumental music comes into being. The above examples show that life needs music to accompany it, and music is an indispensable spiritual adjustment in people's lives, as well as a work of art that people place their thoughts and feelings on, and it is also one of the components of human spiritual civilization. So: "Where there are human footprints, there is music." It can not only entertain people, but also convey the thoughts and feelings between people through the information of music and sound, which is true at all times and in all countries. Especially, the more human beings evolve and develop, the more obvious the complexity, delicacy and diversity of music are, and most of the music transcends the boundaries of national races and races, and communicates with each other with the emotional language characteristics of human beings, especially instrumental music. Because of the emotional attributes of "happiness, anger, sadness, joy, worry, thinking and bitterness", all human beings will have the same perception. As for its depth, it depends on the specific works. Even though the musical languages of different nationalities are different in tone, their emotional and temperament attributes are still the same.
judging from the cultivation of talents in the current society, music can still promote people's intellectual development. Its main function is to exercise people's rich imagination, the development of thinking ability, the quick coordination and response of the five senses and limbs, the enhancement of recreating imagination and creative thinking through music. Under the effect of skilled migration and analogy, the perception and research of other disciplines besides music also have a promoting function. For music appreciation, it also has the function of promoting intelligence to varying degrees, and it is naturally obtained in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Because when listening to music, the brain will not be blank, and there will be a variety of changeable activity images that will be reflected in the mind. Sometimes, with music, people will feel at home, and with the sound of music, there are all kinds of emotions in their hearts. The emotional language of this art is so subtle that it can't be described by words and language alone. It can make rich life associations under the inspiration of a little bit of headlines, and follow the inspiration of headlines, which has a more expanded and extended reconstruction imagination factor to "justify itself". This kind of imagination from one point to many points, from one line to many lines, is also the creative thinking in music appreciation. And it is the combination of image thinking and logical thinking, and it is the intersection of multi-channel thinking, three-dimensional thinking and aesthetic thinking. It is also an advanced thinking activity. After listening to one song, ten songs and hundreds of songs, people's imagination is strengthened, their thinking mode is active and their thinking response is sensitive. In this way, doesn't it make people smarter? As Einstein, an outstanding contemporary scientist, said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge evolution."
Many famous scholars at home and abroad are mostly music lovers or have the talent of musicians. Under the subtle influence of music art, their scientific and academic achievements have a certain degree of mutual influence. For example, the discoverer of Uranus is William Herschel of the United States, who often holds concerts in Notre Dame de Paris; For example, Rousseau, a French thinker, also wrote a notation and a dictionary of music. He said, "Many of my achievements in science are inspired by music." More like Einstein or a violinist, Balzac and Gorky are both music lovers.
In terms of people's morality, will, character and sentiment, music will also have an impact under the condition of "sneaking into the night with the wind and moistening things silently". Although, we can't completely expand the role of music art in morality to a considerable position like Confucianism in ancient China, as the saying goes, "the musician is also the Chinese virtue." "Listen to music and know politics", but listening to noble music will really make people's tastes noble, and listening to majestic voices will also make people strong-willed and high-spirited. Because it is a reflection of people's mental state, of course, yellow, low-level emotional appeal, vulgar music will also make people's will decline, their taste will be low, and even they will fall into the magic circle of fantasy.
We should know about the music of various countries in the world, so as to broaden our horizons and enhance our knowledge. In particular, the western music gradually developed after the Renaissance in Europe has reached a perfect position in terms of theme, creative method, form and genre richness and rigor. It is also quite scientific and systematic in the construction of technique theory. It should be regarded as the cultural heritage of mankind. In this regard, it must not be underestimated. For example, the songs "Return to Solento", "Devil", "Trout", "Flea Song", "Spring in the Northland" and "Volga Boatman Song"; Solo ensemble: Beethoven (tragic Piano Sonata in minor), (Piano Sonata in moonlight in minor); Schubert's Waltz, Champang's Polish Dance, Liszt's hungarian rhapsody, orchestral John Strauss's Blue Danube, Saint-Sang's Animal Carnival, Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, symphonies: Beethoven's Hero, Destiny, Pastoral, Haydn's No.14 in D Major, Schubert. Opera and Afternoon Drama: Mozart's Wedding of Figado, Verdi's Camellia, Bizet's Carmen and Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, which are well-known music chapters. How many generations have been inspired! Every music lover has the same experience, that is, every time he listens, he will have different feelings, which is the reason why these excellent works are endowed with great vitality and appeal and become immortal works.
But as China people, they should have a deeper feeling and a wider understanding of their own national music and folk music. China is an ancient cultural country with a history of 5, years. Fifty-six ethnic groups have cultivated this land for a long time and created their own splendid cultures. Therefore, our country must get in touch with some of our own national music art in peacetime, and start to educate our next generation and let them grow up under the influence of national music at an early age. This is patriotic education in a specific sense. Emotionally, I can feel the greatness and profundity of my motherland. Thanks to the efforts of many musicians in the past century, many excellent works have appeared in our national folk music, which are loved by China people.
Therefore, when listening to music, we should listen to both Chinese and Western music. We can neither think foreign things are good nor think foreign things are not suitable for China people. Worship foreign things and worship foreign things are one-sided. However, it is reasonable to pay more attention to the music art of our own nation.
In the ancient people's music life in China, popular music always existed in large quantities. In ancient times, it was called "fashion ditty" or "fashion poem", but today it is called "pop music" or "popular music", for example, The Moon on the 15th, On the Island of the Sun, Night in a Military Port, Mongols, Mother by Candlelight, Dedication, Five-Star Red Flag, Watching Flowers in the Fog, etc. Modern music in the world is splendid, such as Richard's modern piano music, black singers, Ricky, Jackson, crazy singers, Madonna, Britney Spears and so on. They have all become popular and beloved musicians of the broad masses of the people. Pop music is easy to understand, short and precise, relaxed and happy. It gives people entertainment and pastime, and it plays an outstanding role in regulating people's spirit. But it also has two categories: one is popular and the other is vulgar. People who lack artistic accomplishment and basic knowledge of music are very difficult to distinguish at one time, and the producers of vulgar music also use this to gain benefits. Only by strengthening music education, family education and social education and improving people's aesthetic taste can we gradually reach it. Its method is to be persuasive, to guide the situation, and to replace vulgarity with healthy ones, but the most fundamental thing is to give people beauty, entertainment and pleasure. People listen to music in pursuit of beauty enjoyment.
listen to music actively, it will make you noble and elegant, and make your life beautiful and full of interest.
