I remember that in the sixties and seventies of last century, as long as I turned on the radio, I could hear the beautiful and lyrical Guangdong music "chasing the moon with colorful clouds". At that time, I didn't know much about Guangdong music. I just thought it was very nice, so I recited it and often played it on the erhu. With the growth of age and experience, I have some superficial knowledge and understanding of Guangdong music.

in my opinion, the expression of Guangdong music shows the essence and ideological connotation of music through local musical elements and national instrumental music.

regarding the ethereal artistic conception of "clouds chasing the moon", I think this exquisite little piece of music, which lasts less than three minutes, is like a freehand brushwork of China. Color is the main element of painting, and chasing is the water and rhyme in the picture. Water is infiltrating towards the moon, showing the hazy image and misty artistic conception of chasing the moon. A bright moon is walking in the bright sky, and a white silk-like cloud is slowly chasing behind. The vast sky is like a huge piece of China Xuan paper, showing the artistic conception of China's freehand ink painting.

According to the connotation of music, Guangdong music presents its essence and local music characteristics through musical instruments. "Chasing the Moon with Colored Moon" takes gaohu and the flute as two main musical instruments, as well as Xiao Sanxian, Pipa and dulcimer. Wind instruments include Xiao and Sheng; Percussion instruments include drums, boards, wooden fish and bells.

The Clouds Chasing the Moon was written by Ren Guang and Nie Er in 1935, and written by ci writers Fu Lin. In 196, conductor Peng Xiuwen rearranged the orchestration according to the band of the Central Broadcasting National Orchestra. The melody is written in China's pentatonic scale, which is simple and simple, with smooth lines and beautiful lyricism.

In the first paragraph, the flute, flute, pipa, erhu and zhonghu are played together, and the strings are in harmony, leisurely and leisurely. Qin Qin, dulcimer, and zhongruan plucked out the light lining cavity, and the rhythm was relaxed to a certain extent, which made the music reveal its quiet vitality in peace. The knocking of mixed wooden fish and hanging cymbals set off the openness and vastness of the night and added mystery. There is no obvious contrast color, and the clear melody is the extension of the first part of lyricism. There is no conflict, but only harmony and harmony. Music thoughts, like the listener's thoughts at this time, develop freely and are natural. The most dynamic part should be the third part. The responsive dialogue between musical instruments seems to be the frolicking of clouds and moons, with vivid modality and full of interest.

Because of the beautiful melody of "Clouds Chasing the Moon", many people filled in profound lyrics for this piece of music.

"Standing on the white sand beach/looking forward to it, when will you be able to return it/The waves are rolling on and on/My lovesickness tears have dried up/My loved ones, can you hear me/I call softly/The small trees in front of the door have become shady/When will we meet again/The bright moon shines in front of the window/The same lovesickness/The same sadness/The lack of the moon can still be in last contact/Day after day, year after year/.

"The curved moon is getting darker at night/the moonlight is accompanied by the breeze/the moonlight is more hazy/her face is reflected in the lake/in the soft figure/a little bit of lovesickness/the moonlight seems to be an old dream/I ask an old friend if I know it/I hope to meet you in my heart/I only ask the bright moon/take my greetings away/colorful clouds chase the moon."

"The moon shines on the seashore/the silver is flowing in Wan Li/the jade is clean/the flowers are floating close/the night is charming/the dreams are charming/spring night adds love/the evening breeze is gentle/the water is singing/the pleasant night is really fascinating.

Dancing with each other/Chasing the Moon like a cloud/How many laughs enter the rhyme/The bright moon shines on the seashore/Wan Li is in silver/Yuyu is dust-free/* * * Laughing and getting close/Walking with you if you want to advance/Walking with you if you want to retreat/Shuttling and turning to synchronous rhyme. Love is reluctant/sentimental/like flying together/opening up new years/synchronization is also synchronized/always a pair of body and mind. "

when I was listening to the performance, I distinguished the flow and direction of the music. At the beginning of the music, the dulcimer, Ruan, Qin Qin, Erhu and Xiao played in unison, holding out a crisp flute, and the first little rhythm was over. The second paragraph was gaohu's repetition of the main theme, the third paragraph was the beautiful artistic conception of chasing the moon repeatedly played by the flute, the fourth paragraph was gaohu's continuous sublimation of chasing the moon, and finally the band played in unison, pushing the realm of chasing the moon to a climax.

finally, chasing the moon ended the whole song in a soft and soothing weak voice.

There is no allegro in Chasing the Moon with Clouds. Although it is chasing the moon, it is also a gentle and slow pursuit. The music completely presents the beautiful and soothing tone, sound quality, artistic conception and connotation of Guangdong music.

a short, clear, beautiful, soothing and fresh local music has been lingering in the music hall of China for decades. It is not only loved by performers, but also sung by many excellent singers. Zhu Mingying, Qu Chunquan and Zhang Jiapei wrote their own lyrics according to their own understanding of the music connotation, among which Zhang Jiapei is the best young singer. She sang this well-known music to the Spring Festival Lantern Festival in 23.

A song "Clouds Chasing the Moon" not only spread the cultural charm of China folk music in the world, but also made Zhang Jiapei, who has foreign blood, go to the world.

It doesn't matter whether the lyrics of these singers are good or bad. The key is the melody of the music, which has haunted the hearts of China people for decades.

I always think that even the best lyrics, that is, lyrics, can never belong to music and melody. Because music itself belongs only to melody. Chasing the Moon with Clouds is the best classic.
