[Phoenix Pen Club] Huiming: The sound of vicissitudes of life - the trombone in my heart

[Phoenix PEN Club] Huiming: The sound of vicissitudes of life - the trombone in my heart In the past, I didn't have much chance to listen to symphony music, let alone the trombone and trumpet. …

In the past, I didn’t have much opportunity to listen to symphony music, let alone trombone and trumpet. I always feel that the trombone is just a trumpet. It is longer than the Chinese suona and has a handle. The blowing looks a bit like the bellows used to blow fire in the countryside in the early days. You have to use your hands to move your mouth, and the sound is not very pleasant to the ears. It is rough, bang, bang, bang, and a bit like a cow. This almost ignorant judgment ended when I saw a silver-haired couple listening to the trombone playing at a symphony concert. I don’t remember what the trombone was playing that time. I only noticed from the knowing smiles and tears of the old couple that the trombone has such the ability to influence emotions. Looking back now, the sound of the trombone is like that of a man who has gone through vicissitudes of life. Although he has been scarred by life and is chased by children when he returns to his hometown, asking where the guest comes from? But he still retains the beautiful memories of his childhood and sings the joy of childhood with a magnetic voice. The melody is still pure and lovely, but it has the charming color of a mature man. Maybe it's this innocence that resonates with the old man? Not necessarily. Although the trombone has a rough voice, it is also good at euphemism. It uses a masculine mellowness to narrate past events and explain the story of first love in a leisurely way. The trombone is the most unique instrument among wind instruments. Its sound is controlled by the pulling slide, and the sound it makes is exactly like the human voice, which can especially evoke the feelings of the past. Christmas music in church, trombone has always been the favorite of devout believers. Could it be that the rough masculine warm lyricism of the trombone evoked the old people’s past and made them shed tears of happiness? Later, after listening to the sound of the trombone more, I felt that the trombone really has a masculine flavor in the band. There are many definitions of what a man is, but in a band, the trombone is the man, the commander and the master. Not to mention the sound, just look at the movement of the push and pull slide. Not only is the sound you make is controlled by it, but the entire band also moves with its rhythm. Sometimes you feel like you don’t need a conductor. One day I saw a performance by an orchestra of Russian immigrants in the community. In order to be more friendly to the people, the conductor let the children in the audience conduct on his behalf. As a result, the march was just as majestic, and the romantic sentiments were just as euphemistic. The conductor laughed at himself, but in fact the band was the same as me. It was really like this. Under the guidance of the telescopic movement of the trombone slide, no matter how out of tune the child conductor was, the band still followed the instructions and sang all the way. Some leadership abilities are indeed innate and cannot be deliberately imitated. The sound of the trombone is also masculine. Often when someone makes a sound, it makes people feel like their mood is being called. Sometimes it's melodious, like telling a long-lasting story; sometimes it's exciting, like a boat fighting in the sea. No one knows the outcome, but the beautiful process allows everyone to enjoy it - no one will refuse this touching heartstrings echoing in their hearts, especially women. I used to see a lot of female trombone players, and I thought it was incredible. A girl would play a flute and a piccolo, just to play the sound of wind and rain, instead of a trombone that uses both hands and mouth. After listening to this sound more often, I realized that these girls understand the charm of men better than the author, so I chose the trombone. Saxophone's male interpretation also has its own characteristics, but in the end it gives people the feeling of helplessness in the beauty of the countryside: Although you have gone far away, only your bright eyes shine in my heart——.

The magnetism of the trombone is different. Although it is the same longing, the thick singing voice gives people reliability and trust: No matter where you are, as long as you call me, I will come to you! Choices in life are often like this. There is the same background of raising a big flag and laying down a world, but in terms of sound, people still have choices before Yao Ming's deep trombone or Jack Ma's sharp trumpet. The reason why the trombone is admired is that its sound has natural cultivation and foundation. When no one is around, it can howl like a lone wolf, looking for a close friend in the wilderness, regardless of how many winds and rains are in its ears. When accompanied by company, he would lower his body, lead the main strings, and then take a back seat, willing to act as bass and foil with the tuba. Even if it sings loudly, it never rests on its laurels and still allows the trumpets to enjoy the fun of the protagonist. This is not something that all musical instruments can do. For example, the violin thinks very highly of itself. As soon as it appears in the sight and hearing of the audience, it takes the lead and hums or cries, regardless of whether others like it or not. But the trombone has a certain degree of expansion and contraction. When people are looking for the high-pitched tenderness, it has stopped playing, hiding behind the brass brothers, breathing calmly, and looking down at life comfortably. No wonder the trombone is also called a telescopic trumpet. It has been exposed to all the joys and sorrows in the world, and it can naturally contract easily. He also has the ability to narrate so many vicissitudes of the world. Originally born in Europe and raised in classical music, the trombone is loved by trombonists and fans for no reason. Originally, listeners could leisurely enjoy the unhurried rhythm of "Bayan Polka" and "Hungarian Rhapsody" or faster "Carnival of Venice" and "Flight of the Bumblebee". But now, even jazz has fallen in love with the trombone. The strange and fast slide in the trombone surprised the American listeners on the Mississippi River. The speed is unmatched by the saxophone players. You have to learn to identify the fleeting sigh of the trombone from the quick breath of jazz. Even China's showy "Jasmine", the sad "Why Are the Flowers So Red" and the "Heavenly Road" that can't be played even if you strain your throat are hurriedly performed as trombone songs - the music is played with a trumpet to exaggerate the joy and sorrow, each has its own place. Nowadays, a trombone with a rough voice is selling jasmine flowers there. Forget it if the elegance is gone, who will buy your flowers anymore! The original intention of using foreign things to serve China and China serving foreign things is not bad, but after this point, it becomes completely different. Just like in the final of "The Voice of China" not long ago, the rich and desolate singer sang "Why are the flowers red" with all his strength, but the flowery girl pretended to be mature and sighed: Where has the time gone? You can do whatever you are at any age, and you can sing in whatever opera you are capable of. Don't think that just because you are famous, everything is just the trombone. Still, I love the trombone. Because a musician once said something like this, everyone can relate to a certain sound, whether male or female, old or childish. The trombone is not necessarily my favorite, but it feels like it is always waiting for me at that place and at that moment——
