What is the connection between music and instrument?
Without instrument, music still exists. In ancient history, music comes from works and life. When our ancestors were
hunting or fishing, they often went by a group of people. And, they needed some different sounds to collaborate their action. When they were relaxing or celebrating, they usually sang songs or danced by a circle beside the fire. Even today in many backward mountain areas or villages, people still like to sing songs without any instruments.
The appearance and evolution of instrument enriches the genres of music, and greatly promotes the development of music. The typical ancient Chinese music instruments includes Huqin,
Guzheng, Pipa, flute and chimes etc. These instrument encouraged the development of music industry in Chinese history, and leave a variety of great musical works for the modern world, such as "High mountains and flowing water", "Guangling powder", "falling wild geese in the sand", "three lanes of plum blossom", "ambush on all sides". The typical old Western music instrument includes Piano, French
Horn, Cello, Pipe Organ etc. They helped composers to write more songs and music with rich choice in instrument. Representative works are “Fur Elise” by Ludwig van Beethoven, “The Marriage of Figaro” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and “Swan Lake” by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky etc. The appearance of electronic instruments brings a lot of changes
in music industry. First, a new genre called Electro music comes out with electronic instruments. Secondly, you can use the keyboard to simulate a variety of sound effects or even make effects that real instruments can't. Types of electronic instruments we usually see are electric guitar, electric bass, electric piano, electronic piano, Synthesizer source, electric drum, electric violin, electric cello, electric clarinet, electric accordion, electric clock, etc.
Guzheng
How does music express musician's thoughts/ feelings?
Music expresses composer’s understanding to his/her life. Living in the late 19th century, Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky felt the big difference between
Ludwig van Beethoven was a silent, shy and inward person on the outside. But inside his heart, he
was self-proud and strong. He thought that freedom and equality were the root of happiness, and they
were not gifts from the God, people needed to fight for them. With this kind of thinking, he composed
“Ode to joy”.
Different music express different feelings/events/stories. Romeo and Juliet fall in love, but they belong to two different families:
Montague and Capulet, who have old grudges. This hinders a love tragedy caused by their inability to marry each other.
Madam Butterfly is another tragedy about Qiaoqiao sang, a naive and lively Japanese girl, who is called "Butterfly Girl". She abandoned the traditional religious belief for love and committed herself to captain Pinkerton of the United States Navy. Shortly after marriage, Pinkerton returned home with the ship, and there was no news for three years. Qiaoqiao sang is convinced that he will return to her arms one day. Pinkerton returned to USA, but he had another new marriage. He had put Madame Butterfly behind. When he and his American wife landed in Nagasaki again, tragedy inevitably happened: Madame Butterfly, who had been waiting all night in her new wedding dress, finally understood everything. She gave up her clever son. When Pinkerton arrived, she killed herself with a sword.
Songs with lyrics and pure music, which one do you like the most? Why? Songs have lyrics, lyrics help people who don’t understand music at all understand music. Therefore, all people can
understand the songs. Only a few listeners with high musical literacy can understand pure music. In terms of technical difficulty, pure music is more difficult than songs. The reason is also because of lyrics. Pure music has no lyrics. It
depends on music to create a sense of picture, so it requires more from musicians, especially orchestral music. And the high-tech musicians make not only songs, but also pure music, because songs are usually more profitable
as songs have a wider audience. The audience with high musical literacy likes to listen to songs as well as pure music. The audience with low musical literacy only likes to listen to songs, because pure music has no lyrics and is not easy
for them to understand. I mostly like listening to pure music, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like listening to songs. I enjoy more listening to
pure music because I think it’s more relaxing, and I always picture what is happening in the music by my mind. I sometimes liked to listen to it when I’m sleeping, because I mostly will have a great dream when I am asleep with
music.
I like the instrument Guzheng the most, usually because I play it myself, and I enjoyed playing it. My favourite genre of music is:
