These days, Chen Jun, the design of the Yue opera singing voice, is particularly busy. On June 8, the "100 Years of Zhengfanghua - Oriental Rhyme Classic Concert and Yue Opera Special" staged on the stage of Tian toad Yifu, there were two newly composed Yue songs, "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" and "Qingping Le Huichang", both composed by him.
Chen Jun introduced, "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" brings together young actors from Shanghai Yue Theater, a large number of people, reflecting the overall strength of the new generation of Shangyue, because the original song is short and well-known, so he retained more of the melodic characteristics of the song when composing to evoke the resonance of the audience. In contrast, "Qingping Le Huichang", sung by the famous Lu Pai artist Huang Hui, is more genre-specific. In order to reflect Chairman Mao's poetic mood, he specially consulted the background of the poetry creation, The finishing touch of the whole song is 'the scenery is good on this side', so I also worked this sentence when composing, hoping to sing a high and generous emotion. ”
Mao Zedong's poem "Sending the Plague God", sung by The famous Xu Pai artist Yang Tingna, is Chen Jun's work in the early years. In addition to these three works, the opening Yue song "Singing Mountain Songs to the Party" and the "Heroic Lyrics" section composed of Mao Zedong's poems became a major highlight. Talking about the creation of Yue Song and Yue Opera, Chen Jun believes that this is an important direction for the development of Yue Opera, "People who do not understand Yue Opera feel that it is traditional and will only play the love of men and women, in fact, our predecessors dare to innovate." ”
Since Yuan Xuefen advocated the reform of Yue opera in the 1940s, generations of Yue opera people have created a large number of excellent works that reflect the times and reflect the voice of the people. Taking the opportunity of the concert, Shanghai Yue Theater sorted out a number of red-themed singing segments, many of which have been out of the stage for many years.
Liang Hongjun, director of Shanghai Yue Theatre, for example, mentioned the Yue opera "Sister Jiang", the first thing that came to everyone's mind must be the image of Fu Quanxiang, in fact, Wang Wenjuan's interpretation of Sister Jiang is also very distinctive, and this time Wang Zhiping, a descendant of the Wang Sect, will bring "embroidered red flag". Another Fu Pai descendant, Hu Peidi, will sing "Sister Jiang" "Crying Old Peng", for which she specially turned over the music score at the bottom of the pressure box for many years.
"Red Flower Song" Du Guiying is one of the few female characters of Fan Ruijuan, Fan Pai's "Little Red Flower" singing segment is widely circulated among fans, Fan Pai's descendant Zhang Ruihong has only made a recording, and the live singing is still the first time.
Yuan Pai's descendant Fang Yafen sang "Fire Coconut Village" with a new orchestration. Once the single program was announced, it caused Yue opera lovers to exclaim: "It is too luxurious, there are many singing segments that have only heard about it in the past, or heard the recordings of old artists, and this time they can finally unlock the scene." ”
Wang Dong, deputy general manager of the City Channel of Shanghai Radio and Television Station, the organizer, said: "The concert is not only a review of the history of the development of Yue opera since the founding of New China, but also reflects the process of Chinese people standing up, getting rich and becoming strong under the leadership of the party. ”
"Centennial Zhengfanghua" brings together The "Five Plum Blossoms" Qian Huili, Shan Yangping, Zhang Ruihong, Fang Yafen, Wang Zhiping, and the mesozoic masters Chen Ying, Hua Yiqing, Xu Jie, Huang Hui, Ding Xiaofrog, the Shaoxing Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe's "Four Plums" Wu Fenghua, Chen Fei, Wu Suying, Zhang Lin, and Zhejiang Xiaobaihuayue Theater's Plum Blossom Award winner Wang Binmei, and the famous Qi sect heir Jin Jing. "This concert is also a big gathering of Yue opera people in Shanghai and Zhejiang." Liang Hongjun introduced that not only shangyue took out the works of the housekeeper, but also the Zhejiang Xiaobaihuayue Theater and the Shaoxing Xiaobaihuayue Theater Troupe also brought the strongest lineup. Wang Binmei's "My Aunt My Mother", Wu Fenghua's "Wang Yangming", as well as Chen Fei's "Yun Shangdu" and Wu Suying's "Liu Hulan" are all full of expectations. This is also the embodiment of the same root and origin of the Yangtze River Delta culture.
