Chapter 170 New "Kangding Love Song"

In the Jianghai Cultural Center and the small rehearsal hall, three gray-haired old men were sitting casually on small stools, looking at the score in their hands.

"Yufan, is this what you are talking about in the new folk music?" Ma Huaiyuan asked in confusion after Yangyang's score.

"Teacher Ma, this is just a simplified version, only Chinese drums and flutes. Well, in the later stages, some electronic music accompaniment elements will be added." Liu Yufan explained with a smile.

This is a song "Kangding Love Song" adapted by him. It is based on Chinese folk songs, but it has added many innovative techniques. Of course, the rhythm of the drum is adapted by Wu Guozhong. Liu Yufan remembers that the original song was added with electronic drums, but Liu Yufan always thought that if it were replaced with the tone of Chinese drums, it would be more expressive.

"Well, I have a lot of ideas. Hey, you have turned into two tones at the back. How do you do this?" Ma Huaiyuan felt a little strange when he saw the melody of the flute from one to two.

"This is a flute duo. You are here as soon as Teacher Ma, so please make up for this second part." Liu Yufan said with a chuckling, not feeling embarrassed at all because he temporarily caught the "strong man".

"You kid, you really want me to make up for it." Ma Huaiyuan said with a lot of laughter, but he was very interested in looking at the score in his hand. He usually only blew small songs like "Kangding Love Song" when he taught children. Unexpectedly, after Liu Yufan's change, it became a bit complicated. He hummed the melody adapted by Liu Yufan. Although he felt it was a little weird, he felt it was very fresh.

"Hehe, Teacher Ma, I'm going to help you on the spot." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

Mo Yan looked at the score in his hand and showed an interest on his face. Although his main business was piano, he was also familiar with other instruments, especially the composition. A large part of Liu Yufan's composition knowledge came from his teachings. Therefore, although he did not know much about flutes, he nodded secretly when he looked at the score in his hand. Although it was a bit strange, fortunately, he was still regular and there were no obvious harmonic and orchestration errors.

If you want to talk about the most head-scratched person here, even if it is Liu Yufan’s second uncle Ma Hua, he doesn’t understand the simplified score. Although Liu Yufan gave him a score, he can’t understand it.

It seemed that he saw the second uncle's dilemma, Liu Yufan smiled and said, "Second uncle, don't worry, I will teach you how to recognize this score, it's very simple."

"Xiaofan, I can't understand this game." The second uncle said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, you don't need to read the above simplified score, just read the drum score below." Liu Yufan said, pulling the score in front of the second uncle and briefly explaining it to him.

"Second uncle, look, every x here represents a drum beat, and the line below represents the length of each note. Here~~" Liu Yufan pointed to an arc on the drum score, and wrote a number 3 on it. After explaining this, he was a little worried and seemed to not know what to say.

"Here is a triple sound, yes, actually triple sound is~~" Liu Yufan tried to explain to the second uncle what triple sound is, but it was really difficult for the second uncle who had not even graduated from elementary school to understand what triple sound is.

"Yufan, let's do this. You can demonstrate to your second uncle, and he will know it once he hears it." Seeing Liu Yufan's embarrassed look, Mo Yan also knew what he was concerned about and reminded him.

"Yeah, okay." Liu Yufan said, getting up and walking towards the big drum in the corner.

In the rehearsal hall of the Municipal Cultural Center, many large-scale musical instruments were prepared, and important percussion instruments such as Chinese drums are naturally indispensable.

This big drum has a diameter of more than one meter, and the drum surface is made of good cowhide. Although the leather surface looks a bit yellow, the tight drum surface and good color still show that this is a good drum surface.

The bright red painted surface of the drum body is covered with several rows of copper nails, which exudes a simplicity and heaviness.

Seeing Liu Yufan coming to the drum, the second uncle Ma Hua followed him. In fact, as soon as he entered the door, the second uncle's eyes were attracted by the drum. He had been playing drums for a lifetime and could tell at a glance that this was a good drum. If Liu Yufan hadn't been telling everyone that the score, he would have been itchy with his hands for a long time, he would have picked up the drumstick and beat it carefully.

"Second uncle, I'll play it first, listen to the meaning." Liu Zifan said, picking up two drumsticks from the corner of the wall, standing in front of the drum, tying his steps, shaking his wrists, then raising his arms, and the two drums fell on the surface of the drum!

"Dongdongdongdongdong!" Three drums suddenly added a bit of enthusiasm to the somewhat empty rehearsal hall.

The wrists shook lightly, and the drum sound became weaker again. The drumsticks rolled lightly on the drum surface, making a cheerful "guer" sound, like cheerful horse hooves.

The next moment, the drum sounded loudly again, and there were still those three "dong dong dong!", one sounded tight and one sounded anxious, sounding very unstable, like a drunkard who was unsteady, but with a strange rhythm, it turned the originally stable rhythm into a change.

"This is a triad of quarter notes. I didn't expect that it would have such an effect when applied to the drum." Mo Yan's ear poison naturally heard it all at once. At this moment, Liu Yufan was playing the triad of quarter notes written on the score.

The second uncle didn't know the score, but he had an instinctive perception of playing drums, which was achieved through decades of playing drums. He had never heard of the rhythm of playing Liu Yufan before, and he did not have it in any drum joke. This is normal. In the conventional Chinese drum jokes, special melody such as triads are rarely used, let alone triads of quarter notes.

Although he didn't understand what a triple sound was, the second uncle understood the smell of the drum. This was a kind of drum beat that he had never played before. For him, who was obsessed with drums, it was like facing a brand new toy, which made him feel a little itchy.

"Come on, Xiaofan, give it a try for the second uncle." As soon as Liu Yufan hit him a few times, the second uncle couldn't help it. He snatched the drumsticks in Liu Yufan's hand and squeezed him aside.

Holding the drumsticks loosely with his hands, a familiar feeling filled his whole body. Thinking about the rhythm of Liu Yufan just now, the second uncle raised the drumsticks loosely.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong..." The second uncle bent his legs slightly, his arms relaxed, and a pair of drumsticks were sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. He hit the rhythm of Liu Yufan just now. Although he only heard it a few times, these few beats were exactly the same as Liu Yufan's previous fight. Even the triple-toned sound that Liu Yufan thought was the most difficult, was extremely accurate!

Moreover, compared with the previous part that Liu Yufan played, the drum played by the second uncle Ma Hua at this moment is more rhythmic, with a sense of relaxation, freehand and tactile from the inside out!

"Sure enough, the hard work of these decades was not for nothing!" Seeing the second uncle who had no foundation in music theory, Liu Yufan easily learned the drum he had demonstrated before, and was impressed by it.

The other two nodded, especially Ma Huaiyuan, who had not had much contact with Ma Hua before. He knew that he did not understand music theory, but he was surprised to see that he could learn a new melody so quickly and play so well.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Second, let's get here first." Seeing that Mr. Second was addicted and had no intention of stopping, Liu Yufan had to speak out to stop him.

The second uncle Ma Hua obviously figured out the meaning of this drum, and was playing hard, but unexpectedly he was interrupted by Liu Yufan. He was still a little unhappy and looked at Liu Yufan and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Second uncle, let's try to close it." Liu Yufan said, turned around and took the flute bag from the seat, took out a C-tuned flute, and then looked at Ma Huaiyuan.

"You boy!" Ma Huaiyuan smiled, and then took out a big c from the flute bag he carried with him.

Unlike Liu Yufan's dark red threading flute, Ma Huaiyuan's big C is made of purple bamboo, and does not use a two-section design, but a bamboo passes through the end. Although this design is not convenient for tuning, it is easier to blow and has a better tone. Many professional-level playing flutes are also designed in one section.

Ma Huaiyuan's piece is even more extraordinary. This is made by Ma Di himself. It has a very good tone and can be called a "treasure flute". Liu Yufan has been jealous for a long time, but Ma Huaiyuan regards him as a treasure, and Liu Yufan has failed to "request" several times.

"Hehe, the veteran is coming, one is going to do two, teacher, then let's start." Liu Yufan smiled at Ma Huaiyuan, and then said to the second uncle Ma Hua: "Second uncle, there is a prelude to this song. When I finish playing it, I will nod to you slightly and you will start. It's this drum, from beginning to end. If I nod you, stop."

"I understand, you can start." The second uncle also cooperated with the drummer a lot before, and said that this was not unfamiliar with Liu Yufan.

"Yeah." Liu Yufan agreed, lowered his head and adjusted the flute tuning film, looked at Ma Huaiyuan again, and saw that the other party nodded slightly, he was ready to start.

The flute was light and horizontal, and the breath was slowly exhaled. A round flute sound suddenly filled the rehearsal hall.

The two sentences at the beginning are the abstract melody from the beginning of "Kangding Love Song". Although they are just a few simple notes, they are like freehand paintings. With just a few strokes, they outline a cool atmosphere as water.

Seeing Liu Yufan nodding at him, the second uncle tugged his waist and horse, his arms fell together, and a powerful Chinese drum sounded!

Compared with the sound of flutes like smoke and water in front, the drum sound at this moment is as majestic as a mountain, giving people a very strong sense of contrast!

Mo Yan's eyes lit up, with a calm expression all the time, and from this very creative beginning, he had already tasted some flavor.
