Light music is different from classical music and pop music in charm and beauty. The touching melody, beautiful harmony, novel orchestration, rich timbre and rich romantic mood all give people a brand-new feeling, which produces the unique aesthetic feeling of light music. The music "Charm" played by Mantovani band embodies this aesthetic feeling. The extremely pleasant sound, like intoxicating aromatic liquid, flows into people's hearts, and people can't help shouting in their hearts: "It's so beautiful!" The beauty brought by the band's music such as Time Passes, Autumn Leaves and Yesterday is also difficult to express in words.
Listening to Paul Moria's band, people feel that every note is permeated with the unique romantic sentiment of the French nation, which reminds you of the fragrance of wine, roses and tulips; Mediterranean sunshine, lovers' laughter and tears. He showed all kinds of romantic feelings and poetry in life, which caused a strong * * * sound. His famous work "Love is Blue", which has been a sensation in Europe and America since the 196s, has been enduring for a long time, and has become a track that light music bands compete to play.
The beauty of James Laster's Night in the Outskirts of Moscow is irreplaceable by the original song: with the guitar plucking a few broken chord, the grand piano gently and gently pops out the main theme of the song against the bright rhythm played by percussion instruments. Then the beautiful mixed chorus sounded gently with the extension of the strings, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes far and sometimes near, bringing people into the distant and romantic Russian night. The whole music is dreamlike and beautiful. If listening to a symphony is like watching a drama, then listening to light music is like reading a beautiful poem and watching a landscape with elegant colors, which is pleasing to the ear and refreshing.

Novel and unique adaptation methods
Most conductors of light music bands are proficient in classical music and can play a variety of musical instruments. They are both the conductor of the band and the arranger of the music. The unique charm of light music is largely attributed to their creative arrangement of the original music. Among them, the most commonly used technique is to reprocess the rhythm, speed, strength, beat and other musical elements of the original music. It is more common to give classical music the rhythm of Latin dance and jazz, rock and disco music, and to strengthen the rhythm characteristics and beat stress of the original music by percussion instruments, which makes the form and content of the music have a strong contrast. For example, Mozart's serenade is played in disco rhythm, Brahms' Hungarian dance music is played in tango rhythm, dvorak's Slavic dance music and offenbach's boat songs are played in samba, cha-cha and rumba rhythm, which sounds passionate and infectious. Some popular songs with intense rhythm are "softened" at a slow pace, thus creating a new sense of hearing.
colorful and unique orchestration is another main technique of light music adaptation. First, I like to use some unpretentious folk musical instruments, such as mandolin, Spanish guitar, harmonica, accordion, etc., and often let them play the main theme, so as to create a special musical mood and atmosphere, and form a timbre contrast with traditional orchestral instruments, making the sound rich and colorful. Second, I like to use all kinds of percussion instruments, such as xylophone, snare drum Jr., jazz drum, tambourine, triangle, bell, sand hammer, etc., and also use some distinctive folk percussion instruments to make the sound lively and sensual. Third, by adding electro-acoustic instruments to enrich the timbre of the band and increase the modern flavor of the sound. Electronic musical instruments are perfectly integrated with percussion instruments and traditional stringed instruments, creating a bright, light and vivid sound effect. Fourthly, the beautiful music atmosphere is set off by adding vocal humming without words. In this respect, Zhan Mu Tu Laster is the pioneer, and his band has a mixed chorus. In the performance, with the rhythm of modern flavor, moving mixed humming without words and the beautiful melody played by the band appear alternately, which rises and falls, which is extremely beautiful and beautiful. For example, Beethoven's "To Alice" and offenbach's "Song of the Boat" played by the band all added mixed voices of men and women without words, which sounded unique and beautiful.
