Research On The Musical Image Of The Heroine Haitang In The Opera "Yimeng Mountain"

Yimeng Mountain is an opera adapted from the historical facts of Yimeng Mountain Area's army and people's fighting against Japanese aggressors in the Anti Japanese war.It is one of the representative works reflecting Yimeng spirit.As the core figure throughout the opera,the heroine Haitang's musical image of combining hardness and softness also plays a role in promoting the dramatic conflict and the development of the plot.In the past,the presentation of the image of female revolutionaries in national operas mostly focused on the positive highlighting of their fearlessness of life and death and the courage to sacrifice to shape the musical image of the characters,and rarely focused on the description of women's fragile and sensitive inner emotions.When the opera Yimeng Mountain portrays the musical image of the heroine Haitang,it pays more attention to the female noumenon,and deepens the depiction of Haitang's inner emotional world on the basis of human nature.Compared with previous opera creation,it no longer blindly reflects the brave and selfless of revolutionaries,but pays more attention to the description of the vulnerable and sensitive parts of women,and then presents a comprehensive three-dimensional human Image of objects.The image of Haitang,the heroine of Yimeng Mountain,has two sides,one is the bold and forthright revolutionary hero image,the other is the sweet and tender female image.Therefore,the artistic expression in the opera also has the characteristics of dual music image.It is of great practical significance to study the music image building method of its heroine Haitang for the development of Chinese national opera and the role image building of opera.The article will also focus on the analysis and discussion,in order to obtain the deductive enlightenment.This paper analyzes and demonstrates the way of creating the musical image of Haitang and the understanding and thinking of the musical image of female characters in national opera based on the analysis of its musical image.Through interviews with the main creators,field observation and other methods,this paper excavates the relevant materials of opera creation,puts forward that the role of Haitang has the characteristics of double music image,and analyzes the music and deduction of the main aria of the heroine Haitang,in order to demonstrate the grasp and presentation of the music image of Haitang.Through the research,it is found that the composer used different melody lines to shape the double musical image of Haitang.In the presentation of his revolutionary hero image,he mostly uses the rapid and violent upward melody line and the instantaneous octave big jump and other steep melody sound to highlight the description of the firmness of Haitang;in the presentation of his tender female image,he mostly uses the gentle gradual and narrative melody line to describe the tenderness of Haitang.Performers also through their own understanding of aria,fusion with local characteristics of the singing way of the role of a comprehensive,three-dimensional shape.When creating the image of revolutionary hero,more attention should be paid to the emotional catharsis and exaggerated body movements to reflect the heroic image;when creating the image of tender women,the way of "high voice weak singing" is often used to neutralize the pressure brought by high voice into the weak feeling of lightness and weakness,and the small range of body movements are used to reflect the soft inner world of Haitang.Through the study of the presentation mode of Haitang music image,it is concluded that we should pay attention to grasp and present the elements in the creation of music image.From the perspective of women,the tragic experience of Haitang reflects its strong willpower,conveys a positive life philosophy,and has the function of enlightenment and encouragement.I hope this paper can provide a theoretical reference for similar research.
