Chapter 120 This was done well!
The reason why Ningxia's suona has aroused great interest among everyone is that folk music in China, the blue planet, is particularly declining.
There are at least a few masterpieces of Western music, but there are none of them in folk music. The album "Ancient" is to fill this gap.
There are a total of twenty songs, all played with Chinese musical instruments.
The first ten solo pieces for various instruments.
Erhu solo "Erquan Yingyue" and "Horse Racing", suona solo "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", sheng solo "Phoenix Spreading Wings", pipa solo "Ten Sides of Ambush"...
The last ten pieces are ensemble pieces, including "Spring River Moonlit Night", "A Beautiful Full Moon", "Birds Pay Homage to the Phoenix"...
Most importantly, the entire album is free and copyright-free.
Many netizens actually don’t like instrumental music very much and don’t know much about traditional musical instruments.
After listening to it quietly, it felt like a dream.
"I'm not into music, so I don't understand how great these songs are, but I believe in Sister Ning. Anything she plays must be good."
'Have you listened to House of Flying Daggers? I feel the murderous aura.'
"No, I listened to "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" first. When I leave, I have to let it send me off."
'Does anyone like the ancient guqin piece "Dragon's Roar in the Sea"? The desolate and empty sound is like seeing a dragon groaning at the bottom of the sea, giving me goose bumps.'
After her last album "Ningxia" was released, people from the music conservatory have been eyeing her.
Just one day later, another new album came out, and it was free.
Teachers, professors, and students clicked on it and started listening.
Kyoto Conservatory of Music has the best folk music department in China.
Yang Yongjun, an old professor who has taught suona all his life, went directly to the principal after hearing "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
"Principal Liu, I will include this piece, "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," in the suona teaching material and list it as a repertoire for the suona's ninth-level examination."
The confused Principal Liu asked stupidly.
"What is 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'? I've never heard of this song!"
Yang Yongjun looked at him with disdain, "Of course you haven't heard it, this is a new song!"
Principal Liu was overjoyed, "Professor Yang wrote a new song?"
The old professor shook his head. If he could have written that song, he would have no regrets in his life.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability of the girl in Ningxia.
Look at that album, all the instruments were played by Ningxia herself.
It's not just about being able to do it, it's about mastering it.
To be honest, in terms of suona skills alone, he is on par with him at his peak.
"It's not me, it's Ningxia who released an album today, and it's full of..."
Before he could finish his words, a few more old men came into the principal's office.
Principal Liu saw that the visitors were all professors from the Department of Traditional Chinese Music who taught various musical instruments.
A smile broke out on his face and he quickly stood up to greet him.
"Hey, all the old professors, why are you all here?"
"Whatever Old Man Yang asks you to do, we'll ask you to do the same!"
They are old friends for many years. Just by looking at the other person's butt, you can know what kind of shit he is going to do.
Yesterday they got together and studied "A Laugh in the Ocean" for the whole day.
When he was in a good mood, he would play and sing by himself, looking very cool and relaxed.
At that time, I was still feeling sad that Ningxia was not in their folk music department, which was a pity.
Unexpectedly, the child gave them a big surprise today.
Principal Liu gave up his seat to the old professors and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Although he is the principal, these are all his former teachers and he has a natural fear of them.
Moreover, in the field of folk music, they are considered national treasures and should not be neglected.
"Professors, you can just make a phone call to let us know about this. Why bother making a trip? Don't worry, I will submit the article "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" tomorrow."
The professors hummed and waited for a long time. Seeing that the president had nothing to say, they opened their mouths and asked.
"What about 'Erquan Yingyue'? You don't think highly of the erhu?"
Principal Liu was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
"How could that be? Is 'Erquan Yingyue' your new erhu piece? Tell me, I'll tell you."
"What do you mean I did it? It was Ningxia who did it. Don't report it wrongly. If you make a mistake, others will laugh at you."
Principal Liu glanced at Yang Yongjun, somewhat confused about the situation.
"Didn't she write a suona piece called 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'? Why did it become an erhu piece now?"
The Pipa professor, who was very frugal with words, added, "There is also the Pipa piece 'Ten Sides of Ambush'."
Principal Liu was even more confused. How could one person write so many pieces of music for different instruments? But the professors couldn't lie to him!
After asking in detail and listening to Ningxia's album, I finally figured out the reason.
After a moment of silence, he looked at the professors and asked.
"How much better do you think Ningxia's album is than the songs in our textbooks?"
Yang Yongjun was the first to speak.
"There are currently only eight levels of suona assessment. I can ask you to rank "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" as the ninth level. What do you think?"
With the old men and women echoing, Principal Liu also understood.
He studied the flute, and just taking the "Shepherd's Flute" in the album as an example, he could indeed reach level nine.
"I understand what Professor Yang means, but if we use the songs in the Ningxia album as the ninth-level examination tracks for various instruments, then the eighth-level tracks will not be good enough."
The professors thought about it and realized that this was indeed a problem.
The previous eight levels were set based on the overall level of folk music at this stage.
It’s no shame to say that the overall level of folk music is not high.
Those who have passed the Level 8 exam, when taking the test on the tracks in the Ningxia album, their skills simply don't meet the requirements.
"You are young and have many ideas. What do you think we should do?"
"Ahem," Principal Liu coughed twice and looked at the professors in front of him.
"Here's what I was thinking. Since Ningxia is proficient in every instrument and has the ability to compose original music, why don't we try to contact her and ask her to help write some more music?"
The professors opened their droopy eyelids and praised profusely.
"Okay, okay, let's do it this way. You contact her quickly and we'll go find her in person after we've made the contact."
"Ah? Can't we invite her to school? I want her to give two classes to the students!"
Yang Yongjun looked at him meaningfully and patted his shoulder.
"Xiao Liu, you have been the principal for so many years, and this is the only thing you have done well!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the door, humming "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" with his hands behind his back.
The other professors came forward one by one and shook his hand cordially.
"Well, Comrade Xiao Liu is a good guy. Remember to contact Ningxia as soon as possible!"
"Old Yang is right. This is a good job. Be sure to inform me as soon as you get in touch with someone."
"Work hard, our folk music department will surely flourish in your hands..."
Sentence after sentence, Principal Liu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
They were all his former teachers, and he didn't dare to refute, so he could only accept it.
But he knew in his heart that he had to get Ningxia as soon as possible.
Don’t be fooled by the happy and cheerful appearance of these old people. Once they find out that he can’t hire anyone, they will probably be very scared.
