After a lapse of four years, the series of Song Ci and Yuan Songs has returned. Music, Song Ci, and children’s voices, these beautiful vocabulary, will be reconciled. What kind of new sparks will come out? Thousands of music fans have long been waiting for it.
When a rock singer meets Song Ci, he returns to the original and God-given beauty
In the 1980s and 1990s, it was hailed as the “unparalleled idealistic decade”. Rock singer Gao Qi participated in and formed the Breathing Band, Overload Band, and a group of musicians from the Tang Dynasty and Black Panther. It has left a strong mark in the history of Chinese rock music. As a banner figure of Chinese rock music and the soul of an overloaded band, after publishing three classic albums, Gao Qi released a new creation that exceeded everyone’s expectations in 2017-“Song Ci Collection One”.
In this album, Gao Qi composed five classic Song lyrics and organized a children’s choir to sing-for a rock singer, this seems to be a mashup of several irrelevant elements. However, Gao Qi believes that the big poets of the Song Dynasty are actually similar to today’s rock stars. Gao Qi said: “Song ci and Yuan tunes were originally the lyrics of the song, so those melody must be simple and graceful, so that the lyricist will fill in the wonderful words repeatedly, and let the people who really love them sing it. The melody of the well water drinking place and the banks of the willows will surely be seamlessly connected with the long and short sentences and emotional ups and downs of every word card you see today.”
Gao Qi also has his own ideas for choosing the form of children’s chorus: pure and natural children’s voice can express the beauty of the melody of these songs to the greatest extent, and the multi-voice chorus is very suitable for expressing the deeper artistic conception in the words and sentences.
Therefore, under the guidance and help of Mr. Gao Wei, Gao Qi’s father who is over eighty years old, a famous Chinese chorus conductor, and the art consultant of the Chinese Musicians Association Chorus Alliance, there is the 2017 Gao Qi and the “Illusion Workshop Children’s Chorus” His first mini album “Song Ci Collection One”.
Li Jian called Gao Qi “unbelievable”, the old wolf Zhou Xun helped out “Song Ci Collection II”
In the first album, singer Li Jian acted as the lead singer of the two songs “Su Muzhe·Biyuntian” and “Linjiang Fairy·Night Return to Lingao”. The elegant temperament and cultural aura of the music poet fits well with the artistic conception expressed in Song Ci. “Su Muzhe·Biyuntian” received over a thousand comments on the music platform less than an hour after it was launched. Some netizens shared their feelings: “Children sing the songs of adults, and adults cry like children.”
The cooperation between the two in “Song Ci Collection One” is very tacit. Li Jian commented on Gao Qi like this: “As an excellent rock singer, it is a somewhat incredible thing to compose songs from Song Ci and then adapt it into a children’s chorus. Because of this, Gao Qi is an incredible rock singer.”
After four years, the “incredible rock singer” set off again and released a new mini album “Song Ci Collection II” with the Children’s Chorus. In this album, Lao Lang and Zhou Xun sang “Bu Shouzi” and “Poppy” respectively. In their lead version, the “dialogue” with the children was touching.
As a creator, Gao Qi strives to present the world of poetry at the moment of creation in “Song Ci Collection II”, hoping that these melodies will enable children and adults to memorize Song Ci without barriers, appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, and let the present His musical thinking and the realm of literary masters thousands of years ago collided with gorgeous colors.
