Standing in the center of the stage, Tang Ying exhaled slowly, she was ready.
All the audience in the entire concert hall were also prepared. The lively and jubilant scene just now quieted down quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the prelude to the song came out from the high-grade audio equipment distributed in every corner of the concert hall.
The prelude has a far-reaching artistic conception, soothing and agile, and all the people on the scene are instantly refreshed.
They seemed to smell the breath of distant history, which is the ancient ballad of the Vikings and Celts in the history of the small town of Casbro.
This kind of ballad with a remote and ancient atmosphere makes everyone gradually intoxicated. It is a tune filled with sensitive poetry and subtle resentment.
Those tunes seemed to isolate the turmoil of the mundane world, dispelling the haze and sorrow of the world, and bid farewell to the bustle and glitz.
Let everyone's hearts become pure and comfortable at this moment, forget everything, and only immerse themselves in the distant tune.
Among all the people, the one who felt the deepest was undoubtedly Ryan. This far-reaching tune brought his whole thoughts back to his hometown, that beautiful town.
Ryan closed his eyes gently. At this moment, his eyes were superfluous. Only by closing his eyes can he see his hometown more thoroughly.
Looking at his beautiful hometown, Ryan was very excited. Just as a prelude, Ryan knew that this would be a great song.
He is convinced!
It's not just Ryan who is excited, but there are many, many people, such as Chris.
Hearing the prelude, Chris had only one thought in his mind, and that was Li Fan's musical level, which was already terrifying.
At this time, Ren only sighed silently. At this time, he finally believed that there was a kind of genius in this world, a height he could never touch.
The musicians and singers who were waiting to see Li Fan's jokes and participating in tonight's performance were all looking at the extremely beautiful figure on the stage in shock.
Just the prelude to the song, it seems to have broken, their previous conjectures.
They couldn't believe it.
On the stage, Tang Ying put the microphone close to her mouth and sang the first lyrics.
"Areyougoingtosarboroughfair?
(Are you going to Scarborough Fair?)
paley, sage, rosemary, and, thyme.
(Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.)
remembermetoonewholivesthere.
(Say hello to a girl there for me.) Heone was true love of mine.
(She used to be my lover.)
tellhertomakemeaambrishirt.
(Tell her to make a linen shirt for me.)
..."
The tune is far-reaching and profound, while Tang Ying's singing voice is long and crisp, and the sound and tune are perfectly integrated, so that every audience on the scene can no longer get out of Tang Ying's singing after hearing the first word.
"Cassbro Market" is an ancient folk song in the UK in the previous life. Its lyrics can be traced back at least to England in the thirteenth century. As for the tune, it was produced earlier in Scotland.
Of course, in the new century, the popular version of "Cassbro Bazaar" has been processed and recreated by modern musicians.
The most famous version is the one processed by Simon and Garfunkel.
In this version, the second, third, and fourth paragraphs of the song, at the end of each sentence, have an unobvious voice, singing another set of lyrics.
The other set of lyrics is written by Simon, which mainly expresses the wishes of anti-war, and the melody is by Garfunkel.
Another set of newly added lyrics, at the beginning like the bleak sky of autumn, quietly tells the sufferings and hardships during the war. This makes this version of "Scarbro Market" no longer just a song. The sad love song is still a sharp anti-war song.
This is the version selected by Li Fan. The main song is sung by Tang Ying, while the other set of unobvious lyrics is temporarily harmonized by Qin Yulin's girl.
Although the girl's singing skills are not very good, the singing of another set of lyrics is not obvious, and she does not require high singing skills, and that girl is completely competent.
With a hint of sadness in the first lyrics, the protagonist asks someone, is he going to the Scarborough Fair? Let him say hello to a girl in the market, that is his former lover...
The second lyrics, "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme", are four kinds of flowers, representing the sweetness, strength, loyalty and courage of love.
Everyone felt the slight sorrow, as if their former lover was a girl at the Scarborough Fair.
And now, they will never see that girl again.
On the stage, Tang Ying's singing continued.
"Paley, sage, rosemary, and, thymen.
(Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.)
withoutnoseamsnorneedlework.
(There is no sewing on the top, and no needle or thread.)
thenshellbeatrueloveofmine.
(She will be my true love.)
tellhertofindmeanareofland.
(Tell her to find a piece of land for me.)
..."
The scene was quiet, only Tang Ying's singing sounded in every corner of the scene, and every audience on the scene was immersed in the singing.
Although they have never been to that small town called Scarborough.
But now, in their minds, they seem to be able to see that beautiful place.
There is the smell of the sea, the smell of the sun, the fragrance of spices...
There is a feast of spices. With a light sniff, it seems that you can smell parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary, exuding a faint fragrance.
There are still endless fields, the river that is about to be frozen, the sea where the ancients sigh, and everything that belongs to "beauty" is there.
And when this song was sung in the second half, all the audience seemed to faintly heard another voice in their ears.
That voice seemed to be right in front of him, and it seemed to be coming from a distant place through the sea where Henggu sighed.
The voice was not heard too real, but could only be heard vaguely, as if it was telling information related to the sound of horns and soldiers.
That voice is like an illusion, but it doesn't seem to be an illusion. The voice and the main voice complement each other and blend together, giving people an extremely unique enjoyment.
This is a magical and beautiful ballad. Everyone at the scene is looking forward to it in their hearts. This song must never end. They hope that the singing can last longer and longer...
However, at the end of a song, Tang Ying on the stage finally finished singing the last lyrics.
The long-lasting melody is also gradually disappearing, the sound is getting smaller and smaller, until it disappears.
