"Shaqiao Farewell" was originally a wang hat play that had not been performed for many years, and the play playing Tang Sanzang was based on lao Dan, and this play was only based on Tang Taizong and Sanzang, except for a few singing workers, there was no workmanship, and the plot was too brief, so now no one sang.
However, the large section of the second yellow slow board sung by ShengJiao, "Ti Long Pen Writing Mu Wen Tang Guo", a total of about ten sentences of singing words, the tone is quite beautiful, and because this section is used in the "slim" rut, each footnote must be shouted out with a throat tone, so Shu Yan always likes to sing this paragraph when hanging his voice at home every day.
Usually singing three eyes and two yellows, the last sentence is not very hard (except for the ten years of cold window sentence of ErjinGong), except for the slow plate of this Shaqiao Farewell, when singing The King of the Golden Ruan Palace and you change the robe, you must be particularly the words gold, king, change and law, lift the full breath, use full mouth strength, and sing out in one breath, and at the same time, the size of the huqin and the drum board must also be accelerated compared with before, so as to show the grace and magnificence of the king's hat play. If you reveal a sad and delicate tone, you will lose your identity as an emperor and show your small family spirit.
Yu Shuyan raised his voice
Kui Pai Su Sheng is famous for singing the King's Hat Drama, and the grandeur of his voice and the solidity of his pronunciation are comparable in the Du non-Tan School. The two yellow slow plates of "Shangtiantai" and "Jinshui Bridge" are the same as those of "Farewell to Shaqiao", so let's leave it alone. Speaking of the "Picking Of The Ribbon", "Persuade Zi Tong Hugh to Play this" a section of The Three Eyes of Xipi, the size is of course particularly slower than the Xipi slow plate of the Tan Pai drama, and the simplicity and generosity of its line cavity, full of palace full tone, is also different from the ordinary Xipi slow plate.
Like this kind of erhuang slow board with a real voice, old Tan zairi, all know that he is clumsy and does not move it, and Shu Yan's talent is far worse than Tan's lack of catching, why does he dare not avoid hardships and risks, and sing with boldness? Doesn't it be obvious that he is not virtuous and does not measure up? However, this does not have to be blamed on Shu Yan. I once said that singing is the same as the method of writing, no matter whether we write Su and write Zhao, if we concentrate on killing Dongpo and Ziang, even if we write for a lifetime, we can only learn to look good and weak. If you want to be strong, you must start from the beginning. The so-called fundamental one is that the inscriptions of Seal Li, Wei Bei, Yan Liu, etc. need to be seen more and more.
Yu Shuyan's "Dingjun Mountain"
When it comes to learning drama, I personally have this experience and experience. For example, I have always learned the tone of Lao Tan, but in the first ten years, I always blindly learned the Tone of Death, and there seems to be some similarities in the soft places, and when I encountered the singing methods such as the "death" of "death" in "Battle Taiping", I felt that no matter how I learned it a thousand times, it was as if it was difficult to be god.
Who knows that in the past ten years, the Wang Faction, the Sun Sect, and even the good cavity of the copper hammer have all worked hard, practiced with intention, copied with heart, and carefully integrated the various cavities of each faction, and then sang the Tan Cavity, which is simply as easy as a palm, without half a effort, and can be sung very beautifully. In the past, I felt that my reading was fluttering, my mouth was insufficient, and my taste was not mellow, but at this time, these shortcomings were gone.
Shu Yan is known as the sacrificial wine of today's Su sheng realm, of course, his workmanship is not weak, and he also knows all the above doorways, so although all he sings on the stage is a famous Tan Pai drama, he hangs a large section of skin yellow in private at home, always in a very high key (singing six half tones on the stage, and the hanging voice is used in the main palace or palace half tone), and try his best to sing the Kui Pai king hat drama, such as the three eyelid yellows of "Picking The Ribbon Society" and "Shaqiao Farewell". After he poured the film from the Great Wall Company, he did not show his Fa Qu for another ten years.
Yu Shuyan and Zhang Boju's "Shilang Visits His Mother"
This return to China music received a few of his pieces, it seems to be "Shaqiao Farewell" as the best, although the voice is slightly worse, and the charm is very strong, but unfortunately the huqin and the drum board are not as tight as Li Peiqing's life, and the drumming old does not know which master (according to me, it must not be Hangzihe), but in the last sentence of the "robe" under the cavity, the plate groove is unstable, so that there is a slight flaw in the white Bi.
In addition, there is another point that I want to bring up and discuss with the acquaintances: Shu Yan sings the sentence "Orphan gives you the golden incense monk's robe and the hat", and the word "Tibet" is pronounced as Ci Ang Che, which belongs to the verb, that is, the meaning of hiding; if it is read as the word Lang Che, it is a noun, which is the abbreviation of Tibet. The three words "Tibetan golden incense" are connected, and it seems that it is appropriate to use it as a noun, and the cover is the name given to the Tibetan golden incense. If you hide the golden incense as a solution, you will not be able to understand it. However, Yu Kai listened to it many times, and it seemed to be Ci Ang Qiyin, which was absolutely not similar to the word "Zang" (zilang cut) in the second sentence of this paragraph, "Lonely Imperial Brother Tang Sanzang for Orphan Labor". Although this is a word difference, it is a flat and a difference, and the judgment is different. Shuyan is a famous horn, and the subtleties should not be ambiguous.
There is no shortage of Yu's friends in Shanghai, you can inquire about this letter, and you can be relieved of this question!
