What a beautiful jasmine!

(1) folk songs, widely sung in China and the world, Yangzhou folk songs.

origin

The tune of Jasmine (that is, folk songs) is called "coloratura", and there are hundreds of singing methods, but they are similar, which is actually one kind, and the music industry calls it "approximate tune". This tune was widely circulated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the main popular areas were in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. According to the research of the late music historian Zhang Ming (formerly a researcher at the National Music Institute of the Chinese Academy of Art) and other experts, the "coloratura" in the Qing Dynasty was developed on the basis of the "coloratura" popular in Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. Yangzhou Qingqu, as well as Yangzhou Opera which draws rich nutrition from Yangzhou Qingqu, all have "coloratura" qupai, which are inextricably linked.

China's music has a long history, but the biggest regret is that for a long time, most of them only have the names and lyrics of songs, and there are few records of music scores. The earliest extant lyrics of Flower Tune (also known as Fairy Flower Tune) can be found in Fairy Flower Tune of the drama Flower Drum in the series of Hundred Autumn in the thirty-ninth year of Qing Qianlong (177 1). Now, the earliest music score can be found in 1804' s Travel Notes of China published in hittner, England (with music but no words, it was later used by Italian composer Puccini in the opera Turandot). The earliest notation in China is the notation of Gongchi, which was recorded in Xiao Huiji published in the first year of Qing Daoguang (182 1). Singing by Yangzhou Qingqu composer, recorded by Zhang, modified by Villy Vonka. Wang Wanqing's coloratura is closer to the popular Jasmine at that time. Once again, it is the guqin music of 1840 manuscript "Zhang Jutian Piano Score".

Jasmine, which first appeared in the form of notation in modern times, 1957 went to Beijing to give a presentation. The performance was very successful, and then it was recorded and widely circulated at home and abroad.

In the mid-1980s, according to the deployment of the Ministry of Culture, Yangzhou collected folk songs on a large scale. Among the collected 1000 folk songs, there are three kinds of "jasmine", namely Yizheng, Jiangdu and Xinghua, with similar lyrics and songs. 1990, more than 230 Yangzhou folk songs were selected in China Folk Songs Integration. Jiangsu Volume, while Jasmine Flower (Flower Tune) is included in the book in the form of seven kinds of lyrics and songs. The first song is He Imitation, and there is a note at the end of the song, "Singing anonymously, how to imitate words and record music".

Development and influence

China has a vast territory, a long history and many nationalities, so a large number of folk songs are widely circulated. They are like flowers in the garden in late spring and March. They are colorful, colorful and fragrant. One of the varieties has a long history of cultivation and is widely loved by the public. She is the well-known folk song Jasmine.

"Jasmine" has been popular all over the country since ancient times, and there are many varieties, but one popular in Jiangnan is the most extensive and representative. Her melody is euphemistic, with smooth ups and downs and delicate feelings. Through the praise of jasmine, the simple and gentle feelings between men and women are implicitly expressed. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, its lyrics were published in the drama script collection "Hundred Autumn", which shows that it has a long history.

At the end of the eighteenth century, a foreigner wrote down her tunes, and the lyrics were expressed by free translation in English and Chinese Pinyin. Later, an Englishman named John Bello came to China to serve as the secretary of the first British ambassador to China. 1804 published Travel Notes of China. Perhaps in his eyes, "Jasmine" is the representative of China folk songs, so he specially published the music score of "Jasmine" in his works, so this song became the first American folk song to spread overseas in the form of a publication, and began to spread in Europe and South America.

1924, Puccini, a world-famous opera master and Italian composer, finished the first draft of the opera Turandot among cancer patients and died. Based on the Yuan Dynasty in China, the play fictionalizes a beautiful and cold story of Princess Turandot. Puccini took the tune of Jasmine as one of the main musical materials of the play, and adapted its original song into a female chorus. In addition, all the characters in the play are dressed in costumes of the Yuan Dynasty, which makes the China story written and performed by foreigners have the color and flavor of China. 1926, the play premiered in Italy and was a great success. Since then, the fragrance of China folk song Jasmine Flower has spread abroad with the spread of this opera classic.

According to recent media reports, "Jasmine", formerly known as "Flower Tune", originally had three lyrics, which sang jasmine, honeysuckle and rose in turn. During 1942, musician He Fang went to Jinniu Mountain in Liuhe, Yizheng City, which belongs to Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, to collect this folk song which was widely sung in the local area, and recorded her tunes and lyrics one by one. 1957 He adapted the original words of the original song, and all three lyrics used the same tune, from singing three kinds of flowers to singing jasmine flowers in a concentrated way, ending in a melodious drawl, which became familiar to everyone now. This song was sung by the front-line song and dance troupe and then recorded by the Chinese record club, so it was further circulated.

At the beginning of this century, Zhang Yimou used "Jasmine Flower" as the background music in the propaganda films of Olympic bid and Expo bid. On August 3, 2003, the emblem of the 2008 Olympic Games-"China Seal Dancing Beijing" was grandly unveiled in the Hall of Prayer for the New Year in Beijing Tiantan Park. When Deng Yaping, a famous athlete, and Jackie Chan, a famous movie star, walked slowly to the Hall of Prayer for the New Year with their badges, the melody of jasmine sounded in the band. At the moment, the music of jasmine you hear is vigorous in euphemism, passionate in delicacy and firm in fluttering, which seems to tell the world that the hometown of jasmine, ancient China, is striding forward. With the broadcast of these TV series, I believe that the fragrance of jasmine will float farther and wider.

lyrics

What a good jasmine, what a good jasmine,

There are flowers and grass in the garden, and the fragrance is not as good as it;

I like a dress,

The flower watcher will scold me.

What a good jasmine, what a good jasmine,

Jasmine blossoms, but snow can't beat it;

I like a dress,

Afraid of jokes.

What a good jasmine, what a good jasmine,

The garden is full of flowers, better than it;

I like a dress,

I'm afraid it won't sprout in the coming year.

lyrics

What a beautiful jasmine! What a beautiful jasmine!

Beautiful fragrance, full of branches, full of fragrance, praised by people in white.

Don't let anyone take off his heart, just wait for that person to love.

Molly, Molly, who will be my lover Molly?

You said I was so good. Everything is fine.

Anyone who is my lover will laugh in his dream.

I looked out of the window at the corner.

Seeing the pain come and go.

You said I was fine, better than anyone else.

I have the right person to introduce me.

If I'm really that good

Why not? Why not?

alack ......

What a beautiful jasmine!

What a beautiful jasmine!

Fragrant and beautiful branches

The sweetness and boastfulness of white people

Molly. Molly.

④ Song: Kiss Jasmine

Singer: Li Danyang

In the ancient East, there was a girl named Molly.

The sun hugged her, the moon hugged her, and the spring breeze and rain kissed her.

She doesn't like gorgeous makeup or gold ornaments.

She gave her heart and love to thousands of families.

Ah, Molly, dear Molly

I love you beautiful, elegant and flawless.

Ah, Molly, dear Molly

I have traveled all over the world with your fragrance and sweetness.

⑤ The episode "Jasmine" in Japanese manga "Wing Chronicle"

Singing: Makino Yui

Main idea of lyrics:

When I bit my lip and regretted it.

Read your name softly in your heart.

When I wipe away tears behind the crowd

Will think of your smile quietly

My love.

The coast of endless summer

A confused towards the distant.

But I'm not afraid.

Because of the flowers you gave me.

In the faint jasmine flower

Have strong ideas

You can always look up and say

"I will always follow you."

When I was on the verge of collapse

So you put up with me?

A gentle person from the heart

Today will eventually dissipate in the wind.

The road to memory will also be buried

But I'm not alone.

Because it does exist.

A clear sky after the rain.

Sniff out the transpiration water vapor.

What a high sky!

The coast of endless summer

A confused towards the distant.

But I'm not afraid.

Because of the flowers you gave me.

Pure white jasmine

Have profound thoughts.

Whenever, whenever.

"I will always follow you."

lyrics

Walk alone and let go of your thoughts.

Molly's notes suddenly came from the video store.

I stopped to pursue my memory.

I also think of Xiao Su, a girl next door when I was a teenager.

I like her delicate face, although it is not dazzling.

Speak with a smile and be conquered.

I especially like the jasmine she planted.

The fragrance of flowers reached my home.

What a beautiful jasmine!

Stay at home quietly in my heart.

And she has a crush on her.

There are countless good memories of the temperature of first love.

I still have the love letter I wrote many years ago.

In the scene of separation, she laughed and cried.

I really hope that time will never end.

This song flowed from a painting.

See her like a flower.

I want to know who your jasmine is planted for.

I don't know who picked the jasmine in my heart.

You will always be my girl next door.

Maybe first love will make you helpless.

If you see her again, even in your dreams.

Buy her a bouquet of fragrant jasmine flowers.

Chinese wind music

Fashion classics, including pop music elements, push Jasmine to a new climax.

If you listen to the concert carefully, you will have different feelings. I have listened to this song for 24 times.

This song is also a great inspiration to the creation of pop music.
