After participating in the high-end theater demonstration party of the afternoon home appliance forum, I unexpectedly listened to the concert of Jin Wei's choral works in the evening. I say "unexpectedly" because I don't know what show to perform in advance, otherwise I, a fan of Jin Wei's choral works, should have taken his record "Jasmine" from my collection to the scene and asked him for an autograph.
The beautiful piano accompaniment sounded, and the Choir of the China Symphony Orchestra interpreted "Singing Mountain Songs to the Party" and "Ten Sending the Red Army" with a silky delicate tone to be extremely affectionate, pleasant and moving - there is no doubt that tonight's concert, whether it is repertoire, arrangement, singing or accompaniment, conducting is a feast of the top choral art in China!
In my opinion as a sound music enthusiast, to appreciate the art of choral singing, in addition to singing well, the main thing is to listen to the arrangement and orchestration. The success of records such as "Aoba Castle Love" by Eight Eyes, the arrangement of Music by Jin Wei, Matsuka and others can be described as a great achievement. Only by arranging the music well can we reflect the strong expressiveness of choral art and make familiar songs have new ideas. Tonight's female vocal chorus "A River of Water" is a little playful, changing the usual grievances. After adaptation, even the popular song "Chrysanthemum Stage" has become elegant.
The personal evaluation "the best tonight" should be the Mongolian folk song "Night in Ulaanbaatar" (Jia Zhangke filled in the lyrics). Jin Wei made bold creations when using folk song materials, using mixed chorus, male chorus, female chorus, chorus, chorus, round singing, multi-voice chorus and other forms of expression, which are obviously richer, deeper and broader than popular expressions. In particular, the mezzo-soprano long tune led the singing, as if from the distant desert of the heavenly dome, bringing the audience into the vast and amorous night of the Mongolian steppe, so that some viewers could not help but call again.
As a layman, Jin Wei's choral works are diverse in style, both Huang Zhong Da Lu (such as "The Motherland Will Not Forget") and the wind and the moon (such as "Quiet Night Thoughts"). The concise, bright and smooth melody reflects his Chinese national genes. He combines the choral art of chants, oratorios, cantatas, symphonies, folk music, and in the Western techniques of Bran's poetry, he always flows with the passion of the Yellow River, expressing his deep love for the motherland and the people. In terms of artistic expression, we pay attention to the richness of the layers, the changes of colors, the sound of the sound, make full use of the unique advantages of the chorus in terms of range, timbre, strength, level, breath, etc., and even pay attention to the use of hum, applause and action, make full use of the width and depth of the concert hall, and show the infinite charm of choral art in an all-round way with the infinite possibilities of various vocal combinations.
I don't know if there are other composers like Jin Wei who are dedicated to the creation and arrangement of choral works, but I know that there are many people who love choral art. In the new era of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, choral art is particularly needed to express the strong voice of the times, the voice of the people, and the majestic power. If you select tonight's song catalog to make an audiophile record, it is expected that enthusiasts will have one like "Aoba Castle Love".
"I'll sing a song, the old song, I sing softly, you slowly and..." I guess the return song "Shining Day" should be specially dedicated to Teacher Jin Wei and his fans by the choir. Amid the warm applause of the audience and cast members, Jin Wei walked on stage to thank the audience and the actors. You can see that he is in good health and in good spirits.
I wish Teacher Jin Wei an eternal artistic life!
