Chapter 10, ah ah ah, woo woo woo
Zhou Qingyun nodded: "Males can not only reclaim their own bass range but also imitate female vocal parts for cross-dressing performances. Whether it is soprano or countertenor, there are no issues. Many professional institutions in Europe are training such individuals, where most of the innate conditions are determined, and there is a significant element of chance during puberty. Subsequently, a great deal of professional training is required to become a master of the false female voice."
Although one can shout a few loud words, soon the energy will be insufficient
Zhou Qingyun later mentioned this matter to other professors
Zhou Qingyun was astonished: "Do you speak Italian?!"
Those shrews at the village entrance, awaken! Feel ashamed!
Yet, amidst the applause, everyone recalled that half an hour ago, this fellow was singing hoarsely like Bryan Adams
An era without computers and smartphones is like this
Zhou Qingyun unexpectedly showed a hint of joy: "That's right! Can you sing the soprano part? Give it a try, what can you sing?"
The part-time musicians who had never seen Jing Xiaoqiang play the piano all started to cheer: "No way?! Brother Xiaoqiang!"
Zhou Qingyun had a suspicion, but did not expect to unearth a gold ingot, no, it was a luminous pearl, no, something even more precious, it was the He Shi Bi.
Imagine that kind of hysterical feeling expressed through song, with devilish embellishments, as the soprano elevates the vocal line to astonishing heights
The surrounding musicians were astonished, is this what is called a damaged voice
Another person frequently nodded, saying, "Oh, this training is quite difficult. This combination of genius and eccentricity, as long as one can skillfully control the amplitude of the vocal cords, can perform songs across the entire vocal range, surpassing other types from the very beginning"
Light is merely a resonance of the chest cavity, which makes the currently slender youth's lung capacity feel strained
Remember, this is a soprano, and there are very few women who can sing that high
It is still hard to believe: "In that moment, I felt that he was not an eighteen-year-old young man, but seemed to be filled with philosophical Zen..."
It feels as if a nightingale is singing in the dark forest
Zhou Qingyun quickly reached out to press the piano keys: "Alright, alright! It's fine, it's fine now, just maintain it well..."
The artistic forms of opera and aria were born out of the Italian language
Cantonese is even more conducive to singing than Mandarin
What should it be like to be unharmed
Zhou Qingyun's expression was one of disbelief, as if to say, what else is there to learn? How about you come to my place and teach some classes to the other graduate students?
Is it worth it
What is going on here
Zhou Qingyun's most accomplished student, who can sing, but if you ask how well they sing
However, he still maintained a professor-like demeanor, looking up and down: "Let's talk about it later, what happened to your voice? Have you suffered any injury?"
Authentic opera should be sung in Italian, as the reasoning is similar to that of Peking opera. You can translate it and sing it in any language, but the true essence is what makes it authentic, isn't it
He is truly curious about what is wrong with his voice; Huddleston is undoubtedly a top-tier singing actor, with opera and musical theater as his main professions
However, it was just not lasting. After finishing, he continued to sing a couple of lines in Italian, and Jing Xiaoqiang began to feel a disturbance in the airflow
Broadway is certainly dominated by musicals and musical theater, but opera, as the pinnacle of classical music and bel canto singing, is undoubtedly an important component of Broadway performances
The last of the four operas composed by Mozart in his lifetime, and also the most brilliant one, was completed in a year when he faced financial difficulties, compounded by illness and depression, leading to his untimely death
Zhou Qingyun excitedly clapped her hands on the side
The pianist lamented: "How about this, you play the score from memory, and I will play it; I can't find the score at the moment..."
Jing Xiaoqiang's inner thoughts still revolve around fitness and exercise
Countless short and rapid jumps of "ah ah ah"!
Even if there are flaws in the eyes of the pianist, with fingers and wrists appearing somewhat stiff and abrupt, it is undoubtedly due to a lack of practice; the core is precise
Moreover, he is an eighteen-year-old male who has already gone through the voice change period
The voice trembled, and both hands grasped Jing Xiaoqiang's sleeve: "Sing well, sing well. Is there any discomfort in your throat now? If it is still not stable, do not force it. Progress gradually and use your voice scientifically..."
When it comes to talent at the highest level, it is either present or it is not; no amount of teaching can elevate those who lack it.
Worried that I might tear my vocal cords at any moment, resulting in a piercing noise
This is akin to a foreigner singing Peking opera, where even the pronunciation of the language poses a challenge
deep and resonant
It is like performing a ritual dance on the tip of a needle
Jing Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes: "It's not that complicated, forget it, I'll play it myself"
Top experts must certainly dabble in various types, not to mention that Huddersfield originally transitioned from opera to literature
Which of these is not characterized by a round waist, broad body, and a strong back like a bear
Jing Xiaoqiang struggled to pull his floral shirt out from the grasp of the middle-aged female professor, and after adjusting his loose beach shorts, he finally sat down in front of the grand piano in the rehearsal hall
You musicians often start a little train at the slightest provocation
Alas, not to mention comparing with Europe and America, even the neighboring little Japanese... those little devils who are living well can easily outshine us
Scene 3 is actually more suitable for orchestral expression, with the drummer quickly catching up, and a violinist who vaguely remembers the score following along.
Even if it is a training piano, as an asset of the Shanghai-Hai City Symphony Orchestra, it is already quite high-end
However, the most brilliant scene in this comedy, "The Flames of Revenge," is a hysterical roar from a wronged woman
A complaint amidst chaos: "It's not that simple, there isn't even a score, and I still have to go out to make copies. You should have said something earlier..."
Therefore, learning opera requires first mastering authentic Italian, which is a prerequisite
Listen to the highest level of cursing and see what it is like
There are almost several music stands that have fallen to the ground, are you playing by yourself
He is indeed interested in singing a few more lines, but his body cannot keep up; at that moment, it felt as if he were on the verge of tuberculosis.
The entire process is characterized by an extreme sharpness, yet each seems to be pronounced in a falsetto, transforming unpredictably
However, the soprano is not within his realm; Jing Xiaoqiang simply feels that his vocal cords are eager to try.
The eerie atmosphere before the storm quickly takes shape
He certainly understands what this means, I am not a eunuch!
As the still slender Jing Xiaoqiang stood up, the musicians and the audience couldn't help but applaud in unison
Before he even pronounced that German word, the people around him were already excited
Yet the treble before me is transparent and clean, with a rhythm that is utterly unperturbed
The fingers that fell are much softer than before in the classroom of my hometown middle school
Jing Xiaoqiang hummed a few notes with his nose to find the tune, and then reached that classic climax, opening his mouth to express the grievances of a wronged woman, pointing at his daughter and exclaiming ah ah ah ah ... ...
Most people who die in fires are suffocated due to damage to their respiratory tracts, so during that evening glow, his throat felt a bit uncomfortable and unfamiliar, and he could only hum while playing the organ
So Jing Xiaoqiang said: "Just a little bit ... ... "
Jing Xiaoqiang suddenly felt that the entire rehearsal hall, regardless of gender, was collectively focused on his crotch!
It was a resentful woman who deceived her daughter into killing someone. Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but close her eyes and perform an action.
Are you saying that not only do you believe you can sing the Devil's Aria in Italian, but you can also play the piano and remember the score as well
Only the seasoned veterans at the West City Theatre can handle things with such ease. Jing Xiaoqiang took a deep breath, spread his hands, and closed his eyes to reminisce.
Zhou Qingyun explained to him: "You are eighteen, right... At this age, boys should gradually develop thicker vocal cords, with a slower amplitude of vibration, resulting in a deeper voice. However, during this transitional period of vocal cord development, if for some reason there is injury, inflammation, or swelling, such as from continuous shouting or excessive use of the voice, some people's voices may become shrill, and there are even a very few who have a particularly clear and melodious tone..."
Now, feeling somewhat unsatisfied, I will continue with a couple of lines from my song "My Sun" in the bel canto style
Genius and books are such that all norms take a back seat, and the path to growth is uniquely singular
This is a tenor!
He had to fumble around here and there to reacquaint himself, and it was evident that he had not played in a long time
This is akin to a coach telling Messi that his dribbling is inadequate and that he will teach him, or telling Jordan that he needs to improve his hang time further
The professional musicians in the rehearsal hall all held their breath, fearing that they might interrupt this delicate performance on the tip of a needle
Jing Xiaoqiang himself also became interested: "Uh... Have you rehearsed Der Holle Rache from Act II, Scene III of Mozart's The Magic Flute?"
Few people paid attention to his pretentiousness, as everyone in the symphony orchestra turned to their instruments, urging one another to find the score for this aria!
Jing Xiaoqiang snapped his fingers: "Just give it a try, is it done yet?"
Jing Xiaoqiang himself is a bit puzzled: "In the past... it shouldn't be possible, the soprano couldn't reach it..."
Zhou Qingyun cherishes: "It is very difficult, before we can scientifically cultivate such an extremely rare false female voice, in the darkest period of music history in both the East and the West, whether it was church choirs or the singing and dancing gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty, it was all achieved through surgical means... Xiao Jing is obviously not one of them"
There is an understanding of vocal music, oh oh oh: "It's just a fake female voice..."
Bring a man
Jing Xiaoqiang thought for a moment: "It seems that I have been feeling a bit unwell for some time now, as if I have been scorched by smoke and fire."
In fact, even if one listens to it just twice, regardless of whether they understand Italian or the bel canto opera, as long as they have heard the aria of the Queen of the Night from this opera at least once, they will genuinely exclaim from the heart, is this still human
