Chapter 804 "Heroic Symphony"
As soon as Cao Xiu came on the stage, everyone applauded much louder.
Many people have formed a habit of thinking, promising to go on stage = a whole life, Lin Wanqing coming on stage = singing or dancing, Cao Xiu coming on stage = performing big moves, and as for Du Tao, coming on stage = a transition.
The question arises, is Du Tao happy with this?
Du Tao said: This is so exciting!
He didn't have to do any work, he was still paid, and he got more and more. His fame came out of nowhere. When he walked outside, everyone respectfully called him Master Du.
A comfortable batch.
Cao Xiu came on stage, and the Magic City Choir also entered the stage one after another.
There are so many government officials here today. In fact, many of them are here to cheer and listen to the music.
"Yellow River Cantata" is a highly praised piece, but it has not been performed many times.
The first time was Hukou Waterfall, a performance in an open-air environment, conducted by Xu Xu.
The second time was held in the Great Hall, conducted by Cao Xiu, and a group of bigwigs from the capital came to the scene and spoke highly of the piece.
Now for the third time.
"Yellow River Cantata" officially began, and Cao Xiu, who was at his adventurous age, raised the baton.
Stein listened with fascination. He had done in-depth research on China's tragic history.
In fact, Chinese history has always been a popular topic, especially for those who are eager for the rise of their motherland. It is a required course.
Stein is from Hans.
He experienced the decline of Hans and was deeply saddened by it. He wanted to promote the rejuvenation of his motherland by studying China.
"Yellow River Cantata" happened to be in the field of music. He listened to it no less than a hundred times and finally found the reason for the rise of China.
patriotic.
It is a very simple two words, but it is something that many countries have been unable to make their people aware of even though they have tried their best.
"The wind is roaring, the horses are barking, the Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring..."
The audience was excited and wanted to sing along.
At this time, Cao Xiu turned around and raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to join him.
As for whether it would interfere with the musicians' performances, Cao Xiu was not worried at all.
The salary and bonus increases given by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra are not for nothing. Each of them has received a lot of anti-interference training.
Not only must you direct the rhythm, but you must also accurately capture the rhythm of the music from the applause and cheers.
How do they usually train?
Xu promised to think of ways to follow the dog, let the staff watch cross talk and comedy shows in the hall, and told them to laugh as much as they wanted and applaud as much as they wanted.
When the staff was happy, the musicians were miserable. They had to grasp the rhythm amidst the laughter and cheers, which caused great trouble to them.
But the effect is obvious. Now they can make no mistakes no matter what kind of environment they face.
The audience sang together: "Take up local guns and foreign guns, brandish swords and spears, defend our hometown! Defend the Yellow River! Defend North China! Defend all China!"
The momentum was huge and the fighting spirit was high. The audience was excited and applauded vigorously.
The foreigners were all excited, and Stein applauded desperately.
However, he soon became depressed again. He tried various methods to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, but never once could the audience spontaneously sing along like he did now.
Whether they are encouraging morale or motivating generals, their audience is very elegant and understands etiquette better, but they have no heart.
There is no heart, so it is difficult for you to judge whether they are patriotic or not.
In China, people are free to overestimate Long live the Chinese nation and long live the great rabbit, but this Hans, this is not allowed.
You can shout I love Boleyn, anywhere, but you cannot shout I love the country, otherwise you will be considered evil.
Stein understands the reasons for this situation very well. To use an old Chinese saying, it is called "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit". The loser is not qualified to talk about honor and is not allowed to be patriotic.
But deep down he was still unconvinced. He wanted to learn how China did it, but unfortunately he was just a musician.
Music cannot save the motherland.
Many people sang the more than 30-minute Yellow River Cantata from beginning to end. Some had tears in their eyes, some were excited, and some were silent. Everyone was immersed in this song that represents disaster and struggle.
"Yellow River Cantata" ended. Many people's voices were hoarse and their hands were red.
So Cao Xiu signaled for an intermission. Today's concert is not over yet.
Generally, the duration of a concert is between one and a half to two and a half hours, and today's performance was just over half.
After the break, Cao Xiu waved Xu Nuo to the stage, and then introduced the piece, "Symphony No. 4 in E flat major, also known as the Heroic Symphony."
Fourth, I’m talking about the fourth song I promised to write, also called “Hero”.
The audience applauded one after another. It seemed that this was a classical symphony. The previous "Qin King Breaking the Formation Music" was only played by a symphony orchestra and was not a symphony in nature.
The masters have all cheered up. As the name suggests, when hearing the name Hero, everyone will naturally increase their expectations for this song.
For example, when Zhuge is mentioned, wisdom will come to mind. When Ximen is mentioned, everyone will think that this person has extremely bad character. The same is true for music.
Whether it's "Destiny" or "Hero", most people try not to touch it.
The promised "Eroica" is the pinnacle of Beethoven's composition career, with a higher artistic content than the Fifth Symphony "Destiny".
In fact, among Beethoven's nine major symphonies, "Destiny", which is known to the world, can only be ranked third.
In the voting of foreign media conductors, the Fifth Symphony "Eroica" ranked first, the Ninth Symphony "Choral Symphony" ranked second, and "Destiny" ranked eleventh. This song "Eroica" was written by Beethoven for Napoleon. He wrote on the title page: "For Bonaparte."
Bonaparte, Napoleon Bonaparte, the hero refers to him. However, when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor in 1804, Beethoven angrily scrapped off Bonaparte and changed it to "composed in memory of a great man."
Blue Star has Napoleon, but not Beethoven, so naturally there is no such story.
But this song can be dedicated to any great person, especially those who dare to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the country and the nation, and use the remaining light to pounce on the darkness.
There were such great people in modern China.
This man is not only the greatest person in modern times of the Chinese nation, but also the greatest person in the world for more than 100 years.
Neither the bald eagle, the Gallic chicken, the John Bull, nor the chickens in the footbath can compare with him.
After Cao Xiu finished his introduction, the audience applauded, and then... the old man waved his hand and drove Xu Nuo away.
Xu Nuo came here with a confused look on his face and left with a confused look on his face.
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, the sound was so loud, many people were even laughing at the top of their lungs.

It's so rare, it's rare to see a promise so deflated.
Cao Xiu got into position, raised his baton, and the music started.
Li Kaixuan sat upright, he came just for this song.
Cao Xiu raised his hands and the music exploded.
The first movement is resolute and majestic, in sonata form, and immediately makes the audience feel the heroic spirit.
The second theme is affectionate and implicit, and the image of a hero is immediately established. He is brave and fearless, but full of tenderness.
Li Kaixuan looked straight ahead, and he saw that majestic figure emerging in front of him.
That year, he said he wanted to go out and have a try, and then he broke into what is now the towering China.
The child is determined to leave his hometown, and he vows not to return to school if he fails to become famous.
Li Kaixuan's eyes became moist. People of his age can best feel the greatness of great men. This is an experience that people of other generations rarely have.
The first movement ends and the second movement begins.
This movement is called the Funeral March.
Very Adagio, in C minor, with a heavy and mournful melody.
Even Li Kaixuan, who doesn't understand symphony, can feel the sadness firsthand.
Li Kaixuan's vision began to blur, he had experienced that day.
He was only a few years old at that time, and he still didn't understand why his parents and grandparents cried heartbreakingly. It wasn't until he grew up that the pain finally exploded in his heart.
The sad music made the atmosphere in the hall solemn, and sadness filled the hall.
Stein was completely stunned, and he almost jumped up with excitement.
In the history of mankind, no one has ever added the form of a funeral march to a symphony, never before.
Even he himself had thought about adding various forms to the symphony, but he had never considered the funeral genre.
This is so outrageous.
Mike stood stunned on the spot, slowly turned his head, and looked at Xu Nuo with incredible eyes, as if asking, "Is this okay?"
Stein sighed in his heart, it would be better to keep the promise.
He had also heard of the Vienna concert. The song "Astronomia" almost made the old stubborn jump out of the coffin board and beat people, but it was not a symphony after all.
A real symphony is like "Hero".
Today, Xu Nuo has added a grandeur to the funeral march and told them with practical actions that "everything can be buried."
The masters were collectively petrified.
In fact, it was Beethoven who first added the funeral march to the symphony. I am afraid that only a genius like this could have such courage.
The second movement, the funeral march, ends, and the third movement becomes a scherzo, a lively Allegro, in E flat major.
The masters are emotionally incoherent, no, why does he do one thing after another?
To the audience, the music suddenly became lively and full of vitality, as if celebrating.
This is very fragmented, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand this change.
But Li Kaixuan could, he easily understood the meaning of the music.
The hero passed away, and people felt the deepest sadness, but life must go on, and they must stand up from despair.
Humanity will eventually win!
The final fourth movement, finale, allegro, is a ode.
Praising the hero's dedication and praising the hero's greatness is the final chapter of victory.
The people inherit the legacy of the heroes and celebrate after winning the victory.
The hero has died, but his spirit has been completely inherited by the people.
