| Li Ying Hai is a famous Chinese composer,popular music theorist and educationist.Lai Yinghai plays a vital role in China’s musical world.His works cover many areas,with art songs of ancient poetry reflecting the composer’s unique character and his aesthetic harmony of unity of words and emotions.Lai Yinghai’s art songs exude a distinctive national character and,with their exceptional artistic expression,have become a classic of Chinese songwriting that cannot be ignored.Through clever arrangements and ingenious design,his art songs offer an innovative interpretation of Chinese poetic art songs,while maintaining a reflection and expression of the classical Chinese tradition,an art form that has had a positive and widespread impact on the expression and promotion of ethnicity.The vocal suite Three Songs of Tang Poetry was carefully composed by Lai Shengchuan in 1982.With vocal and piano parts,this innovative and nationalistic work inherits the principles of the integral piano and voice concept of the German-Austrian art song and is a typical representative of modern Chinese art songs of ancient poetry.The piano accompaniment of these three songs is an original and unique artistic conception with a strong expressive force.The piano accompaniment itself can be seen as a solo piece,as another voice in the work,through dialogue and mutual communication with the singer,the accompaniment plays a unique role in shaping the musical image and expressing emotions,and is an important harmonic part of the vocal melody.Using literature research,comparative links,case studies and musical analysis,the author uses the three aspects of compositional characteristics,performance techniques and cooperation with the singer as entry points from the perspective of vocal art direction,and combines his own performance experience to analyse the way art songs in ancient Chinese poetry are performed.The analysis is also combined with singers’ experience in singing Chinese poetic songs to better understand the characteristics and style of the songs,how to work with singers in practice and how to perceive the combination of mood and poetry.The aim is to gain useful experience in teaching the art of vocal music in the practice of ancient poetry and art songs,to provide reference and assistance to the general public and to convey cultural confidence in the context of the times. |
