Honegger’s Orchestral Composition Rugby Study On Creative Techniques

Arthur Honegger(1892-1955),a famous French composer of Swiss origin,has been recorded in history as a member of the "Six of France" in the neoclassical genre.Many of Honegger’s orchestral works created throughout his life,all of them contain exquisite creative techniques and rich drama conflicts,which not only benefited from the early German and Austrian music education,but also benefited from the use of acoustic means to express vision Image of novel creative insights.Compared with the famous French Impressionist composers Debussy and Ravel,Honegger abandoned the hazy and misty style,and used a clear and pure musical language to paint a vivid picture of what he saw and heard.The orchestral work Rugby was published in 1928,showing a fierce rugby match.Through this work,he successfully witnessed the use of synesthesia psychological mechanism and the breakthrough of traditional creative techniques.Synesthesia refers to the movement of connections between different senses.It is a psychological phenomenon caused by one feeling and another feeling.According to the original intention of this work,it is reflected in the mutual conversion of vision and hearing-using acoustic means to express one This fierce rugby match included three major aspects: the conception of the work,the theme design,and the sound layout.Honegger was a rugby player during his student years.He extracted the most typical sensuous characteristics from his past competition experience,drawing inspiration from ideas and theme design.In the sound layout,he activated through the continuous contrast of auditory tension.The visual imagination matches the enthusiastic atmosphere of competition that Honegger wants to create.The breakthrough of traditional creative techniques is a comprehensive reflection of the influence of Honegger’s creative techniques and neoclassical trends.Neoclassicism advocates the use of new creative techniques to revive traditional music.As an advocate of neoclassicism,Honegger’s works contain the essence of originating from tradition and newness to tradition.This thesis takes the creative techniques of the work as the research object and explores the traditional breakthroughs.First,the structural layout is a non-standardized sonata structure,by deleting the minor parts of the structure and changing the traditional tone development of the dual theme.The trajectory was realized;second,the material structure of the harmony language is between regular and irregular chords,and then multiple textures are superimposed to expand the space for harmony and harmony;third,the opposition and unification of the tone is the tension of the sound The direct reflection of the degree,combined with the harmony color,can further expand the tension change of the color harmony degree.Fourth,the counterpoint technique can be used in various ways in the song,forming a complete counterpoint development segment in the vice department of the presentation department.Consistent with thedenormalized sonata structure.Through the systematic analysis of this thesis,the author draws two conclusions:first,Honegger uses the synesthetic psychological mechanism to transform the game scene into musical works;second,the newness of Honegger’s creative techniques,It is to make quantitative changes as much as possible without causing qualitative changes in traditional creative techniques.The research of this thesis also takes the pitch organization of the work as the starting point,and starts from the four aspects of structural layout,harmony vocabulary,counterpoint techniques,and tone layout to find the logical relationship of the pitch organization.Realize the artistic value of this work.
