Chapter 26 Butterfly Lovers(1/2)

Author: Meow and Aow

As the conductor raised his right hand, the music started.

The trembling bows of the harp and string instruments lead into the background of the flute solo.

The flute imitates the call of birds, and then the oboe uses a soft and lyrical introduction to show all the listeners a beautiful scene of bright spring, with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Then the protagonist violin appears.

Chen Yu, who was sitting at the front, leaned his chin against the body of the piano, his eyes slightly closed, and his long, white fingers bouncing on the strings, like a dragonfly touching water.

A long, faint and distant sound of the piano is like a stream of gurgling water, flowing easily into the hearts of the listeners.

The poetic love theme is beautiful and romantic.

So beautiful! Someone murmured softly, with a slightly drunk expression.

Then the rich and mellow tone of the cello and the light and soft tone of the violin formed a counterpoint, and then the performance of the entire orchestra showed the deepening of the relationship between the two protagonists in the story.

The music enters the second part, where the violin solo is in sharp contrast to the softness and lyricism of the main part. The lively and cheerful melody brings the listener into a carefree classmate life.

How wonderful! There is a girl leaning on the railing on the second floor of the concert hall with her hands, supporting her chin, and looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, happy time is always short-lived. The girl in the story has something on her mind, and she can't help herself and can't express her feelings.

The lyrical and slow tone expresses the emotions that are hesitant to speak vividly.

The light harmony and orchestration, set off by the vibrato of the strings, tell the audience that this is the coming of farewell.

The reluctance to leave, the regretful adagio, the use of rests, and the intermittent music are all lingering and pathos emotions.

Can the girl's complex emotions be understood by the person who came to see her off?

However, when the audience was silent in the tangled and unspeakable emotions of the lovers, the deep sounds of bassoons and cellos suddenly broke in, coupled with the vibrato of timpani and strings mixed with the terrible sound of gongs,

All of them gave the audience a sense of foreboding.

Some people in the audience felt their hearts tense subconsciously, and there was a hint of uneasiness on their faces.

The frightened violin describes the panicked heart of the girl with the loose rhythm of the opera. The severe rhythm and gloomy tone of the brass are all the severe forces that the girl has to face.

This is a confrontation of unequal power.

However, is it necessary to compromise like this?

No!

Next, the violent syncopation of the violin and the strings all express the heroine's fierce resistance.

Therefore, the contradiction between the two sides intensified and the conflict intensified.

At this moment, the audience felt the tragedy and tragedy of the scene.

The sudden shift to slow music and a tearful violin solo finally made many people understand that the struggle had finally failed.

After the cello and violin exchanged their feelings, tragedy finally happened.

In the story, two people are separated forever, and someone in the concert hall looks depressed.

The music takes a sudden turn. This piece of music uses the technique of tight and slow singing in opera. The strings quickly syncopate the rhythm, which is passionate and decisive. The violin alternates with the rhythm of the free stick and the Allegro played in unison by the orchestra, which portrays the girl's grief in a profound way.

The band poured out the girl's resentment, determination to die, and shocking emotions with the strongest magnanimity, and it seemed that the audience could be conveyed through the music.

Here, with the sound of gongs and drums, the song reaches its climax.

After the audience's hearts were tightened and their emotions were affected by the music, the flute came out to soothe people's hearts with gentle intensity and slow speed.

Against the background of strings with muted instruments, the first violin and the solo violin once again played the theme, which seemed to tell everyone that even if the story ended in tragedy, their loyal love would be known to everyone and would last forever.

The song ends.

The musicians stood up and bowed at the same time as the conductor, and everyone at the scene felt as if they had just woken up from a dream. At the end of any piece of music before, more intense applause rang out in the concert hall, and many people even stood up in excitement.

This is a compliment to these performers and to the composer of this piece.

“It’s a worthwhile trip!”

"This is the best song I've heard today."

"This is the best music I've heard this year."

"I would like to know who is the composer of this piece?"

“I want to listen to his works next time!”

"I want to hear it a second time."

"Let's see if we can still get tickets for tomorrow?"

"..."

Several students sitting around Yu Hai also stood up excitedly.

Monitor Meng Jiao could not help but sigh in a low voice:

"Fuck, that's awesome."

"Are you talking about Goddess Lu, or this song?"

"Of course he is the composer of this piece!"

"I really want to know who the author is, who actually wrote such an awesome piece of music. If I can write such a work in my lifetime, I will die without regrets."

"If I could write half as good a work, I would be grateful."

"Am I the only one who thinks that Goddess Lu's performance this time is also amazing?"

Everyone looked at the speaker, oh, he is one of Lu Yuwei's supporters, so that's okay.

"However, speaking of it, Lu Yuwei is indeed worthy of being the chief performer of this performance."

"If I write violin music in the future, I would also like to ask her to play it."

"First you have to become a gold medal..."

After a few people voted, they headed for the exit while joking.

A classmate took out his cell phone, looked at it, and then yelled: "Fuck, these animals."

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at him.

“I originally planned to listen to another show tomorrow, but I actually ran out of tickets!”

"Tomorrow is the weekend, but are there so many people attending the concert now?"

"There are definitely not as many in previous years as this year."

"They must all be here to hear Butterfly Lovers."

"Of course more people will appreciate good music."

"..."

Yu Hai listened to everyone's chat in silence. He originally thought that not many people would listen to such music.

After all, they are all new songs and have not been tested, and the level of the performers is average.

I didn’t expect that there were so many people watching the fun in this world.

But Yu Hai didn't know that many people came to this music exhibition to listen to Butterfly Lovers.

This song's reputation has gradually spread since the first day of the exhibition.

Many people claim it to be the most amazing work in recent years.

The one that was so highly praised before was the Overture of the Little Knife Club among the fighting songs.

Some people even argue over which of the two songs is better.

They argued about the music and the composer, and even had many online battles over who was better, Whale Luo or this unknown gold medalist.

It can be said that although he is not in the world, he has still stirred up a storm.

At this time, the classmate who was looking at his cell phone while walking suddenly pulled out another video for everyone to watch: "Look at this."

"What is it?"

"Interview with Lu Yuwei."

There is indeed an interview video on the screen. As a violinist who has won awards and been interviewed many times since childhood, Lu Yuwei is very skilled in interviews and handles them appropriately.

"Ms. Lu, are you satisfied with your performance in this music exhibition?"

"I feel like I still have a lot to learn..."

"Which piece of music performed this time is your favorite?"

"My favorite is probably "Butterfly Lovers"."

"Currently, the industry generally believes that this song "Butterfly Lovers" will become the number one work in this exhibition. Do you think so too?"

"Personally, I really feel that this song deserves the number one spot."

"Do you have any guesses about the composer of this piece?"
