Comments on the Saxophone Music Jasmine
This is Kenny G's famous saxophone "Jasmine". Because the saxophone itself is melodious and clear, and this piece of music shows the ethereal and lingering artistic conception quite in place, the sound is often expressed as a harsh high-pitched voice on a player with poor sound quality, and there is no artistic conception. In the face of the saxophone that is difficult to reproduce perfectly, especially the pure and melodious voiceless effect and lyrical treble, it should be performed perfectly and in place. The layering is clear and distinct, the sound quality is soft and not harsh, but it is very penetrating.

In Jasmine, the texture of saxophone is radiant, full of copper flavor, and the sound effect with endless aftertaste is reproduced without reservation.

A sense of reality comes straight at me, beautiful, delicate, and free of miscellaneous hyperspace three-dimensional sense, especially the knocking sound of heavy metals such as sand drums and golden hammers inside, which is delicate and rigid and extends far away. Jasmine has been popular all over the country since ancient times, and there are various varieties, but one popular in Jiangnan area is the most widely spread and representative. Her melody is euphemistic, her fluctuation is smooth and her feelings are delicate. By praising jasmine, it implicitly shows the simple and gentle feelings between men and women. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, its lyrics were published in the opera script collection "Baiqiu", which shows that it has a long history.

At the end of the 18th century, a foreigner wrote down her tunes, and the lyrics were expressed side by side in English and Chinese Pinyin. Later, an Englishman named John Bello came to China to serve as the secretary of the first British ambassador to China. In 184, he published his book China's Travels. Perhaps in his eyes, "Jasmine" is the representative of China folk songs, so he specially published the music score of "Jasmine" in his works, so this song became the first American folk song spread overseas in the form of a publication and began to spread in Europe and South America.

In p>1924, Puccini, a world-famous opera master and Italian composer, died after finishing the first draft of the opera Turandot among cancer patients. Based on the Yuan Dynasty in China, the play fictionalizes the story of a beautiful and cold princess Turandot. Puccini took the tune of Jasmine as one of the main musical materials of the play, and adapted its original song into a female chorus. In addition, all the characters in the play wore costumes of the Yuan Dynasty, thus making a China story written and performed by foreigners have the color and flavor of China. In 1926, the play premiered in Italy and achieved great success. Since then, the fragrance of China folk song "Jasmine" has spread more widely overseas with the spread of this opera classic.

According to media reports in recent years, the original name of Jasmine Flower Tune originally had three lyrics, singing jasmine, honeysuckle and rose in turn. In 1942, musician He Fang went to Jinniushan, Liuhe, Yizheng, near Yangzhou, to collect the folk song, which was widely sung in the local area, from a famous local folk artist, and recorded her tunes and lyrics one by one. In 1957, he adapted the original words of the original song, and all three lyrics used the same tune, instead of singing three kinds of flowers, he concentrated on singing jasmine flowers, and ended with a melodious drawl, which became what everyone is familiar with now. The song was sung by the frontline song and dance troupe, and then recorded by the Chinese record club, so it was further circulated.

In the early years of this century, Zhang Yimou used Jasmine as the background music in its promotional films for the Olympic bid and the Expo bid. On August 3, 23, the emblem of the 28 Olympic Games-"Chinese Seal Dancing Beijing" was grandly unveiled in the Hall of Prayer for the New Year in Beijing Tiantan Park. When Deng Yaping, a famous athlete, and Jackie Chan, a famous movie star, walked slowly up to the Hall of Prayer for the New Year with their emblems, the melody of Jasmine was heard in the orchestra. At this moment, the music of Jasmine, which you hear, is vigorous in euphemism, passionate in delicacy and firm in fluttering, which seems to tell the world that the hometown of Jasmine, ancient China, is striding forward. With the broadcast of these TV films, it is believed that the fragrance of Jasmine will float farther and wider.
