Recently, the second mini-album "Song Ci Ji Ji 2" brought by musician Gao Qi and the Mirage Workshop Children's Choir was launched. After four years, the Song Zi yuanqu music series has returned, and the music, song lyrics, children's voices, these beautiful words have been integrated again, and what kind of new sparks will collide, thousands of music fans have been looking forward to it for a long time.
When a rock singer meets Song Ci, he returns to the pure and beautiful
In the 1980s and 1990s, known as the "unique idealistic decade", rock singer Gao Qi participated in and formed a breathing band, an overload band, and a group of musicians from the Tang Dynasty, Black Panther and other bands, which together left a strong mark on the history of Chinese rock music. As the flagship figure of Chinese rock music and the soul of the overload band, after publishing three classic albums, Gao Qi launched a new creation in 2017 that surprised everyone - "Song Ci Ji Yi".
On this album, Gao Qi composed music for the classic five song lyrics and organized a children's choir to sing them — a mashup of unrelated elements that seems to a rock singer. Gao Qi believes that the big lyricist of the Song Dynasty and today's rock stars are actually similar, they are all extravagant and uninhibited, "particularly cool". Gao Qi said: "The Song Song Yuanqu was originally the word of the song, then those melodies must be simple and full of heavenly beauty, so that the lyricist will repeatedly fill in the wonderful words, and let the people who really like it sing to the well water drinking place, the willow shore, and its melody will certainly be able to have a seamless connection with the long and short sentences and emotional ups and downs of each word card seen today." ”
For the choice of children's chorus as a form of expression, Gao Qi also has his own ideas: pure and natural children's voices can maximize the beauty of the melody of these songs, while multi-voice choruses are very suitable for expressing the deeper meaning of words and sentences.
Therefore, under the guidance and help of Gao Qi's father, who is over eighty years old, the famous Chinese choral conductor, and the artistic adviser of the Choral Alliance of the Chinese Musicians Association, there is the first mini album "Song Ci Ji Yi" between Gao Qi and the "Mirage Workshop Children's Choir" in 2017.
Li Jian called Gao Qi "incredible" Old Wolf Zhou Xun helped "Song Ci Ji II"
On the first album, singer Li Jian played the role of "Su Mu Cha · BiyunTian" and "LinjiangXian · Lead singer of two songs of "Night Return to Lingao". The elegant temperament and cultural aura of the music poet are very close to the artistic conception expressed by the Song Ci. Su Mu Cha · Less than an hour after the launch of "Biyuntian", it received more than a thousand comments on the music platform, and some netizens shared their feelings: "Children sing adult songs, adults cry like children." ”
The cooperation between the two in "Song Ci Ji Yi" is very tacit, and Li Jian commented on Gao Qi: "As an excellent rock singer, it is a somewhat incredible thing to compose Song Ci and then adapt it into a children's chorus, or because of this, Gao Qi is an incredible rock singer." ”
After four years, the "incredible rock singer" set off again and launched a new mini-album with the children's choir, "Song Ci Ji Ji II". In this album, Old Wolf and Zhou Xun sang "Bu Operator" and "Yu Meiren" respectively, and in their lead version, the "dialogue" with the children was touching.
As a creator, Gao Qi strives to present the appearance of the world and the world of the lyricist's creation moment in "Song Ci Ji Yi", hoping that these melodies will enable children and adults to recite Song Ci more without barriers, appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese culture, and let the current musical thinking collide with the realm of literary masters a thousand years ago.
