Why, SYF in 34 days, 9 hours, 45 minutes, 37 seconds!
825 hours!
49545 minutes!
2972698 seconds!

All of us must add lots and lots of oil, and work hard, and whatever result we get on that day will be well-deserved. If its a gold, it will be a good, solid gold.

On one of my routine stalking expeditions, I came across these words of wisdom, none other by our very own snco cellobass.

"Okay, and remember to MOVEEEEEEEE while playing, esp the set piece. MOVEEEEEEEEEE with the music, MOVEEEEEEEEEE as your bow goes up and down up and down. Feel the music in you, feel it running through your head, through your heart."

"SO FEEL THE MUSIC MORE AND MOVE YO, MOVE!"

And they do move, very well as a matter of fact. Let's learn from them and play from our HEARTSSS<3. To really "feel the music in you", and to truly, SINCERELY want to show the judges and the world your passion for music, your passion for daji, your passion for co! The MUSICCCCC.

Here's some really great info on our exotic rare choice piece, from http://info.guqu.net/OtherMingqu/20090723160612_26107.html (click for more!)

水之声:民族交响音画。阎惠昌作于1982年。作者通过对描绘各种水的“声态”,展现了水的千姿百态和壮阔力量,抒发了对生活、对大自然的热爱。
Weak translation: The composer depicts the behaviors and states of being, and also the grandeur and power of WATER:D! through the various sounds of water

全曲有四个乐章:
Total of four movements
①“瀑布”:用一个特定的和声通过多组乐器在不同位置上的参差进入,使音响的层次和厚度不断扩大增强,描绘了山泉由少到多、最后终于汇成瀑布一泻而下的情 景。接着,以瀑布音响为背景,低音弦乐器奏出宽广挺拔而丰富变化的主题,抒发了作者面对壮观的大瀑布所产生的种种感受和联想;

First movement: The Waterfall. The entrances of different sections of instruments at different times, which continuously expands and develop the layers and texture of the music depicts the water increasing in volume (from less-more!), and eventually forming a waterfall with water flowing down. After that, the sounds of the waterfall become a background and the lower string instruments play a broad and sounding melody with rich variation. This expresses the composers feelings and thoughts when he is faced with the grand waterfall.




②“湖水”:宁静而有幻想色彩的乐章,以点描音乐的手法,在三角铁、木鱼、钹等敲出连续跳动的背景上,古琴奏出古朴的主题,表现了湖水的深厚及安宁。

Second movement: Water of the Lake. This movement is calm and quiet, yet colourful and imaginative. The triangle, muyu and bo (our dear diaocha) s' plays a continuous jumping background while the gu qin (replaced by our di yin zheng) plays the simple, yet teeming with tradition and culture, melody, expressing the lake and its deep, relaxing and peaceful waters.






③“小溪”:活泼的小快板,描绘了众多溪流时分时合、蜿蜒向前的情景。最后以多调性叠置的手法将这些主题同时结合,表现了众多小溪合奔大海的壮丽景象。

Third movement: The Stream! Quick and lively, this movement describes the image of many flowing streams merging and separating, and also at the same time progressing forward. At the end (bar 293 there, the composer uses overlapping tonality to conclude all themes. Most importantly, this is actually depicting the beautiful, magnificent and very very! grand scene of many of the little streams rushing together to merge and sprint towards the big blue sea.





④“大海”。弦乐组分成二十多个声部并与其它乐器组合成许多音块,加上打击乐器,表现了海啸的宏伟壮阔,钟管奏出的主题庄严沉稳,辉煌嘹亮,气势磅礴,音乐犹如阵阵巨浪,全曲达到了高潮。最后乐曲在惊天动地的海浪声中结束。

Fourth movement: THE SEA! The strings, split into over 20 different sections, and also forming with other instruments to create blocks of sound, plus our daji instruments, depict the TSUNAMI!'s grandeur and power. The theme is solemn yet steady, loud, grand, very very majestic, with momentum and spirit. (I'm guessing zhong guan is yun luo?) The music is huge and powerful waves, and the whole piece comes to its climax, ending with a shocking, earthshaking and extremely impactful sound of a giant wave.




I really feel better after this analysis. I really feel that I can understand the piece better! Okay you know what I should make everyone read this hahahaha to get the "feel" of shui zhi sheng :D And must bear all of this in mind while playing. Don't you find that this piece has so much more meaning now :) READ THIS!

My lovelies, let us do our best for syf. Stretch and stretch our limits because ultimately the result we get are not for the school, not for Ms Chan, but for liu ls (yes, I'm saying this), for wei ls, and for OURSELVES :) ALL THE WAYYY!

Lots of love and oil from Wensie!



P/S this feels totally like persuasive speech LOL
P/P/S and I'm really sorry for screwing up all the time. I'm trying, hope I won't die tomorrow.

Percussion Section

image

Percussion, to the Chinese orchestra, is a term that refers to an eclectic mix of Western and Chinese instruments.

In recent years, the Chinese Orchestra has adopted, among other western percussion instruments, the timpani, glockenspiel, xylophone, vibraphone and snare drum for use in its ensemble.

Chinese percussion instruments are usually made of:

  1. Wood: e.g. zhuban (bamboo clogs), muyu (temple blocks)
  2. Skin: e.g. dagu (Chinese bass drum)
  3. Stone: e.g. qing (ancient chimes)
  4. Metal: e.g. luo (gongs), bo (cymbals)

Based on sound and performance technique, one can categorise percussion instruments into the following genres:

  1. Ban lei (board category): e.g. Chinese claves, temple blocks
  2. Gu lei (drum category): e.g. Chinese bass drum, timpani, Chinese tom toms
  3. Bo lei (cymbal category): e.g. bells, xiaobo (small cymbals)
  4. Luo lei (gong category): e.g. pitched gongs, xiaoluo (small gongs) etc.

Percussion instruments can also be categorised according to definite pitch or indefinite pitch:

  1. Definite pitch instruments include yunluo (pitched gongs) and bianzhong (bronze bells);
  2. Indefinite pitch instruments are usually sub-categorised into instruments of high, middle or low-pitch because of their indefinite values.
    1. High-pitched instruments include temple blocks and pengling (bells);
    2. Mid-pitched instruments include jingluo (opera gongs), jingbo (opera cymbals) and paigu (Chinese tom toms);
    3. Low-pitched instruments include dagu (Chinese bass drum).
