Follow the sound and follow the way

Half a year has passed since the Hollywood-like reunion of Mu Kang and Lin Yan in Country P.

In the past six months, Mu Kang's life has undergone earth-shaking changes: the work content has been upgraded from the stinky smell of hogwash to the refreshing lake, and the partner has changed from the mother-in-law Wang Junfeng to everyone who loves flowers. Lin Yan opened.

However, in some corners of the world, people are still living in prison in the backwaters.

The hope of breaking free is as far away as the stars in the sky.

The night deep in the jungle is hot, humid, and lifeless. Whether it is a dimly lit homestay or an abstract wooden house, it looks like there is no tomorrow.

In the artist's story, Lin Yan stretched out his hand, and Mu Kang held it tightly without hesitation.In the stories of the elves, who can reach out and hold so many fresh and unexpanded life trajectories?

I don’t know how to maintain the operating cost of the homestay. It’s a rare moment when it’s full. The boss smiled from ear to ear. First, he gave the guests four keys and told the guests that they don’t have to worry about the meal time, and they have dinner at any time. eat.

Of course there are anytime, isn't it just fruit mixed with rice?Chef Mu thought badly, and went into his room to take a shower.

Dennis saw with his own eyes that Lin Yan and Mu Kang lived in two separate rooms, and he comforted himself: Nothing is done yet, there is still a chance.

Unfortunately, when it was time for dinner, the self-doubt that had been quelled with difficulty returned with a vengeance.

The incident originated from Lin Yan who suddenly changed his sexuality and started to picky eaters.

Originally, every time he came here to eat, Lin Yan was the one who had the most peaceful and enjoyable meal among the instructors. Dennis and Andrew once made Dennis and Andrew speculate that Evan might have practiced some kind of oriental secret method of self-cultivation and mind-training.

But this time, Lin Yan ate extremely slowly, with two-thirds of the food left on the plate, he refused to eat.

What surprised Dennis even more was that Evan, who has always been gentle and reticent, commented in disgust: "It's really unpalatable."

The roles of Mu Kang and Lin Yan were reversed, and they persuaded: "Eat more, you will be hungry later."

Lin Yan asked in confusion, "Why is it so unpalatable this time? Has the recipe changed?"

Andrew: "I taste the same as before, what do you think Dennis?"

Dennis: "It's always been this bad."

Mu Kang suppressed a smile and said, "I don't think it's changed, what's wrong with you? Evan?"

Lin Yan figured it out after thinking for a few seconds, and said helplessly to Mu Kang, "Your cooking is so delicious."

Mu Kang: "Hmm, no thanks."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds and couldn't help laughing.Mu Kang pushed his plate to Lin Yan: "I picked out all the fruits, it's not that bad, you eat mine."

Lin Yan picked up the tableware again and took two mouthfuls of Mu Kang's meal, then nodded and said, "It's not that bad."

Andrew couldn't bear it anymore: "Aren't you... Ouch!"

Dennis stomped Andrew's foot under the table and said loudly, "Evan!"

Lin Yan: "Huh?"

Dennis tried to change the subject in vain: "I heard from Anna that you arranged a new song for them?"

Lin Yan: "Yes, Kang wrote it."

Dennis who lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot: "..."

Andrew asked Mu Kang with interest: "Written specifically for them?"

Mu Kang: "Yes, I happened to have some inspiration when I came here that day."

Andrew was stunned: "...you didn't start writing until you got here?"

Mu Kang swallowed a mouthful of rice and said casually, "Yes."

Dennis asked suspiciously: "I wrote it temporarily? Anna said that the song is very nice."

"It's very nice, it's called "The Elf in the Forest." Lin Yan put down the spoon, got up and said, "I'll show you the score."

No matter how tangled the emotional relationship of the four artists is, they work with a clear distinction between public and private and are extremely efficient.Dennis and Andrew just looked at the score for a few minutes and quickly realized that "The Spirit of the Woods" is a very rigorous symphonic wind music work for young people.

The music has a profound artistic conception, beautiful melody, and professional orchestration, which is also very suitable for children who do not have a high technical level.The composer took great pains to find the "degree" that can show the advantages of the orchestra to the greatest extent, and compared to that "degree" to complete the whole work.

If you want to take the orchestra out to a competition, an excellent original work that can fully reflect the level of the orchestra is definitely a plus.

What's more, this original work can no longer be described as "excellent".

Even the well-informed like Dennis and Andrew are a little bit unbelievable: this is so... well written, isn't it?Is it really the work of a composer none of us have ever heard of?

"I wrote it with Evan." Mukang said, "This is the full version after the expansion. The original version with the band rehearsal is shorter than this."

"Last time back, Kang only had one day to compose." Lin Yan said, "So we first took the orchestra to rehearse a 5-minute initial version."

Dennis and Andrew exchanged a surprised look. Dennis looked at the score and the score after reading the scores, looking over and over again for a long time, but he didn't speak.

Although Mu Kang said that he and Evan wrote it together, both Dennis and Andrew are experts, and they understand that Lin Yan is not a composer, and at most he can only make adjustments in orchestration and details.

Who is the first author of this genius work, the answer is self-evident.

Andrew looked at Dennis who was on the verge of breaking up with glee: May God bless you.

Rehearsals were scheduled for two full days.Most of the time is rehearsed separately, and then rehearsed together in the afternoon of the next day.

On the first morning, Dennis gave one-on-one instruction to the woodwind in a small classroom in the main building, while Lin Yan, Mu Kang and Andrew went to rehearse for the brass part.

As soon as the three of them walked into the hot rehearsal hall, the trumpet boy with long hair rushed over. He didn't dislike the smell of scum, he jumped on Mu Kang with a fierce kick, leaned into his ear and yelled: "Mu Kang!" Sir! You are coming! I thought you would not come!"

The boy's hair has grown so much that the ends of his hair can touch Mu Kang's arm.

Mukang held his buttocks and said stiffly: "Be quiet, and, you go down."

The little boy with long hair hugged him even tighter as if he didn't hear it.

Mu Kang: "..."

In fact, if you rank the popularity of the four instructors, Dennis is definitely the first.Mr. Bain is humorous and funny, neither as boring as Mr. Henry, nor as serious as Mr. Lin, nor as Mr. Mu who always looks fierce. All the girls in the band, including Anna and Tracy Prince Charming in my heart.

However, there are all dark-skinned little boys in the brass part, and there are only two girls in the horn part who look so cool and seem to like girls more than boys. Very tasty.Lin Yan watched Mu Kang's bewildered look with a smile on his face, and had no intention of helping him at all.

Mu Kang couldn't bear it for a few seconds. He grabbed the long-haired boy by the neck and tore him off. He said coldly, "Have you practiced the song?"

The long-haired boy said triumphantly, "I can already recite it, sir."

Lin Yan: "Very good, let's start. The French horn part will go to Mr. Henry for one-on-one instruction, and the rest of the parts will come to me and Mr. Mu."

Although the full version of "Elf in the Woods" is twice as long as the original version, the extra parts are variations and reproductions of the theme, and the young members can get started quickly after getting the new score.The pride of the long-haired boy is not boasting. The children are really self-conscious when the teacher is away. Everyone has practiced the tunes thoroughly, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to the teacher's appearance soon.

Every pair of eyes is asking: Is there a new piece?What else can we do!

This band, which grew up quietly in the depths of the jungle, sounds strong in terms of teachers, and the instructors are all international celebrities, but in fact, the educational resources and teaching level are deeply limited by hardware facilities.The orchestra can only formally rehearse once in a few months. Most of the time, teachers can only teach students through remote guidance.Generally speaking, practice depends on self-awareness, hard work, and talent, but not the teacher.

This makes even if the children are thirsty for knowledge, what they can really learn is still very limited.

Because you cannot learn music without a teacher, just as you cannot learn without books.

The rehearsals progressed surprisingly quickly.The teachers originally planned to arrange only "The Elf in the Forest" in the past two days. Unexpectedly, the hard work and enthusiasm of the orchestra members were beyond expectations. After one day, the song was almost flawless, and they could directly enter the rehearsal stage. The next morning, it was changed to arrange "Superman Suite" and Hayao Miyazaki.

As night fell, several people sat around the dining table in the living room of the hotel and ate sullenly.Dennis and Andrew learned how to pick out the fruit mixed in the rice. Mu Kang got up and asked the boss how many cans of beer he wanted to share with everyone.

Mu Kang said with experience: "Wine can serve food."

Dennis thanked him, opened the beer and took a big gulp, and said to his companions, "I want Anna and Tracy to go to America."

Lin Yan said clearly: "The two of them are indeed very talented."

"You can learn from me." Dennis said seriously, "But I want to recommend them to Emmanuel."

Mu Kang took a sip of beer: "If there is no scholarship, the tuition fee is not cheap."

Andrew also said: "There is also living expenses, which their family cannot afford."

Several artists had more than enough ambition but not enough energy. After looking at each other for a while, Lin Yan said: "We can only take them out to perform first, and after getting some grades, we can see if there are any cooperative scholarships from the foundation that we can apply for."

Dennis leaned back on the chair, wiped his face, and sighed, "You're right."

Andrew: "The performance has been scheduled to be held in M ​​City in November, a charity performance sponsored by the foundation."

Lin Yan: "How long?"

Andrew: "It should be a half."

Mu Kang: "It just happens to be able to perform the three tunes that are currently lined up."

Andrew: "Should I play "Elf in the Woods" this time? Wouldn't it be better to keep it until the competition?"

Mu Kang thought for a while, then turned to look at Lin Yan: "What do you think of this row?"

"Very good." Lin Yan knew what Mu Kang meant, and said frankly, "The children are working hard."

Mu Kang: "Then I will write another song?"

Lin Yan: "Okay, if you want to compete."

Mu Kang immediately snapped his fingers at Andrew: "This time, I will write these three songs, and I will write a new one if there is a competition."

Andrew: "..."

He glanced at poor Dennis cryptically: he had to ask Evan for his opinion when writing a song, and he said he wasn't a partner?

Dennis slammed down the wine in the can and said dryly, "That's great."

The next afternoon when all the staff arrived, Dennis was entangled by several girls playing the clarinet, insisting that Mr. Bain, who was full of love stories, "tell us another one".

Dennis said with a bitter face, "Can we talk about it next time?"

The girls were particularly unhappy: "The next time will be a long time later!"

Dennis: "..."

He has worked hard for his love for more than two years, but in the end, let alone going to bed, he didn't even hold hands.At this moment, Mu Kang was killed halfway, and he was even more precarious after being hit, so he couldn't tell the previous coquettish stories.

In the end, it was Mu Kang who ran out of patience, released his scum aura and drove the girls back to their seats.

Lin Yan looked around the orchestra: "We are going to perform in M ​​City in November, this should be the last rehearsal before the performance, are you all ready?"

The whole regiment said in unison: "Yes, sir."

"Very good." Lin Yan said succinctly, "Now let's arrange "Elf in the Forest"."

Lin Yan has always memorized the music when conducting, let alone Mu Kang's works.He stood straight in front of the orchestra, without a music stand in front of him, and without a baton in his hand.

The handsome conductor raised his arms, his palms were warm and beautiful, and he grasped the bassoon and trombone sharply.

The young actors are well-trained and closely follow the gestures and eyes of the conductor.

Breathing is in sync now.

Lin Yan tapped his palm, the bassoon and trombone sounded the first chord, and the French horn and English horn joined after three measures, with a full harmony.

The scene in the crude rehearsal hall turned sharply, rendering colors, and a wild wind seemed to penetrate into the hot and stagnant air.

The full version of "Elves in the Forest" is about 11 minutes long, and the music tells the life and adventures of a group of colorful and innocent elves in the deep forest.

Bassoon, trombone and tuba create a mysterious and remote atmosphere in the forest, while the jumping tones of piccolo and tenor trumpet depict the elusive and interesting footsteps of elves.The English pipe is like the wind, the French horn is like the water, and the flute and the E-flat trumpet are like the clear and hot afternoon sun.

This is music specially written by Mu Kang and Lin Yan for the Proust Wind Orchestra.

The young actors have heard the breeze in the forest, drank the underground stream, and played in the bright sunshine of the equator. They know the assigned roles clearly and easily, because every note is their daily life together.The dangerous jungle in the eyes of outsiders is just their sweet and peaceful hometown.

So they performed comfortably and had fun.

The British pipe said: "I am the breeze, kissing the leaves."

The French horn said: "I am the stream, touching the earth."

The flute and the trumpet said: "I am the sun, piercing through the dense branches and leaves, and dispelling the shadows under the trees."

The harmony is beautiful and wonderful, full of ingenuity, constructing a dreamlike picture beyond imagination. It seems that there are really a group of lively elves with different hair colors running in a colorful forest that no one has ever seen.

The story is told by the young actors who treat each other sincerely, logically and well-founded, making the audience immersive and have to accept it with pleasure.

Including Dennis, including Andrew.

At this moment, the internationally renowned flutist Dennis Bain and horn player Andrew Henry finally showed their devotion in music and recognized the little-known composer named Mu Kang.

EvanLin never lies.

Mu Kang is indeed talented and worthy of the evaluation of "BEST" given by Lin Yan.

The author has something to say
