The following are the differences between Bel Canto, national and popular singing methods.
First of all, bel canto
Belcanto comes from the Italian word belcanto, which means beautiful singing. It originated in Florence in the17th century and has a history of more than 300 years. It is famous for its beautiful timbre, free pronunciation, coherent sound lines, fluency and flexibility. The western music circle regards Bel Canto as the works and singing art of composers such as Rossini, Donizetti and Bei Lini in that period, including the singing style, skills, content, form and singing methods in that period, which is different from the singing methods of operas, oratorios and concerts that China thought.
Bel canto has developed to this day, and its singing method is no longer the singing method of17th century. Different times have different singing forms. At the same time, there are many schools, such as "front" singing, "back" singing, "vertical" singing and "horizontal" singing. In short, no matter which genre has good singers, beautiful timbre, smooth melody, clear language, unified voice and strong support of breath are the highest vocal art realm pursued by many singers in the world.
Bel canto is different from other singing methods in that it is characterized by mixed vocal range singing and whole singing. The true and false voices are mixed according to the pitch ratio, and all the vocals are mobilized. Bel canto pays more attention to several aspects.
First, the scope of attention is wide and the scope is unified. A wide range can perfectly unify the bass, midrange and treble areas. The phonetic cohesion is round and beautiful, the lines are beautiful and smooth, the pronunciation is accurate and clear, the pronunciation is consistent, the vowels are consistent, the voice is flexible, the colors are rich, concentrated and penetrating.
Second, pay attention to deep breathing, low throat position, open throat, mask sound and concentrate sound. Pursue bright and relaxed voice, and pay attention to high position. The sound is in a high position, put it in a high position.
Third, pay attention to breathing and emphasize singing with breath. Bel canto attaches great importance to and emphasizes the art of breathing from the beginning of training, requiring every voice to be supported by breathing, the voice to be evenly supported on the breath, singing with breath, and emphasizing that you can't sing without breathing.
Fourth, in artistic expression, it emphasizes elegance and generosity, calmness and solemnity, and deep feelings. Singing usually does not require amplification equipment, and the accompaniment is usually piano or orchestra.
For example, My Dear Dad is a famous work. When singing this work, we should first keep the breath unobstructed, keep the voice in a higher position under the premise of unobstructed breath, and pay attention to concentration and concealment when reaching high notes.
This work is selected from Gianni Schicchi, a one-act play composed by Puccini and written by Giovachino Forzano. In the play, while everyone is worried about the inheritance, a pair of young lovers are worried about love. Relatives are strongly opposed to Bosso's nephew Rinukio falling in love with Laurida, the daughter of Jani Schicci, and Jani Schicci wants to take her away. Daughter and lover are inseparable. She begged her father to allow them to fall in love, so she sang a beautiful aria.
Pay attention to your inner feelings when singing. We should sing this work as the first song. There is an octave jump in the seventh quarter, because the highest note is in the weak position of the weak beat. Therefore, when singing high notes, you should push them up with soft breath, release them with inner feelings, and not give too much strong breath. We should mix the true and false sounds without trace, and the conversion of sound areas should be very unified. 15 and 16 breathing should be treated the same, but the expression of emotions should be further vented, and the use of breath should be flexible with the changes of feelings, and the breath should not be rigid. At the end of the 27th and 28th songs, the octave jump was repeated again, and the feelings were deeper, which made this wonderful melody leave a deep impression on people. Pay attention to the natural breath, voice and smooth melody when singing. .
Generally speaking, the characteristics of Bel Canto can be summarized into eight words: Tong (smooth breath and voice), Solid (strong, loud and penetrating voice), Round (sweet and mellow voice), Bright (bright, vibrant and brilliant tone) and Pure (clear and transparent). No matter in range, strength, timbre, articulation, articulation, etc. , can be varied. "Softness" (soft voice like velvet, combined with concentrated and bright voice, forms a combination of rigidity and softness in aesthetics). (Zhang 2003; 35)
There are three kinds of breathing methods used in Bel Canto: abdominal breathing, combined chest and abdomen breathing (diaphragm breathing) and chest breathing. At present, most people use abdominal breathing and chest-abdomen combined breathing (diaphragm breathing).
"... there are four schools of thought about breathing. One is the argument put forward by Bettazzoni School (note: a famous Italian vocal music teacher, a famous baritone-editor in the first half of this century), that is, his student Paula (note: a famous Italian tenor-editor), which leads the abdomen to move slowly inward to breathe through abdominal muscle contraction. The second theory holds that after the rib/diaphragm is filled with gas, you can exhale by relaxing the abdominal muscles, so that you can see the abdominal muscles protruding outward.
The third method is Sutherland's method of Franey and Pavarotti, which is a mixed method between the two. According to this theory, a singer should find a way to imitate the crying feeling of a baby when breathing ... The fourth method is the one used by Bruscantini: when he imagines exhaling through the diaphragm, he uses the tension of the muscles behind his chest, even the tension of the gluteal muscles. ... "(Shen 1999: 8)
Bel canto attaches great importance to singing skills, emphasizes the continuity and unity of singing, takes the whole body as a singing cavity, advocates expanding and adjusting the singing space in an open way, adjusts the mouth, throat, pharynx and inner mouth into a "tubular" singing style, and emphasizes singing skills in a very high position. If you want to sing a bold voice, you can open the "channel" a little wider to make the state of "yawning" stronger; If you want to sing softly, you can narrow the * * * "channel" and use the * * * of the head cavity to make the sound beautiful. * * * Ming's adjustment should be flexibly applied according to the content, style and articulation requirements of the work.
For example, in Verdi's opera "The Bard", Azucena's aria "The Flame is Burning" is a mezzo-soprano aria, but now there are also drama sopranos singing. When singing this work, the voice should be vigorous and elastic, the treble should be full and powerful, the channel should be wider, the yawning should be stronger, and the * * * should be bigger, so as to grasp the driving force of rhythm and decoration. The lyric female height and coloratura female height or male height, with more head cavity * * * sound, the channel is not so wide. For example: the song of laughter, listen to me, master, I can't sleep tonight and so on.
Bel canto is directly related to Italian and other foreign languages, with clear pronunciation, even phonetic order, obvious rhythm and fluent vowels. In Italian, all vowels must be loud and clear, with simple vowel endings and stressed syllables. In addition, Italians have exaggerated characteristics, and proper expansion tension is easy to form singing space, which is conducive to singing and plays a decisive role in the way of Bel Canto.
Bel canto requires that vowel conversion and articulation should not destroy musical lines, and articulation is like a string of pearls. Correct pronunciation method, enunciation must be clear. One school emphasizes the "backward" sound. Vowels do not follow the pronunciation position of consonants, but quickly return to the correct pronunciation position after consonants are pronounced. This kind of singing focuses on more sounds, and when it comes to high notes, it becomes vague and vowels darken.
In addition, the "leaning forward" school requires that the timbre of all vowels should be consistent, and the light and dark procedures and phonemes of each vowel should be consistent in singing. The articulation technique of Bel Canto is closely combined with singing and breath. At the same time, it pays more attention to the relationship between vowels and overtones. By increasing overtones, it seeks the ideal vowel peak and gives full play to the physiological skills of voice singing.
As Mr. Pan Naixian said, everything in the world is developing and changing. At present, Pavarotti's singing method is accepted by more and more people. We might as well analyze it. Pavarotti has beautiful sound quality, pure timbre and fluent language. His breathing is abdominal breathing, his singing is a so-called "mask", and his voice is in the front position. For example, his bright voice, clear articulation, beautiful melody and concentrated and forward voice left a deep impression on people.
Second, the national singing method
National singing is a kind of singing method based on national aesthetic principles and appreciation habits, with beautiful and crisp voice, sweet and moist like water, clear and bright, long lasting appeal, and integrating emotion, sound, characters, cavity and body expression.
At present, the singing method that puts the national charm at the top of the singing concept is the national singing method. Its unique charm is usually manifested in pronunciation, line cavity, music style and so on. Articulation, commonly known as "singing", is based on the four-tone stress of Chinese characters. Our country's national singing method pays special attention to articulation, so does the traditional Chinese opera. What we usually ask in national singing is to clear the prefix, sing the belly and accept the suffix. In the line cavity, the national singing method pays attention to some "small turns", that is, some decorative sounds, leaning sounds, sliding sounds and other singing methods are more particular. Usually, the depth of charm is used to measure the expressive force of a singer's singing. "Dead songs can be sung alive, so that the cavity can be moistened, and the cavity can change with the situation, and the word collar cavity shape" fully explains the charm of folk songs.
The breathing of national singing emphasizes the use of qi in Tian Dan, which is also called abdominal breathing. The method of using qi is basically the same as bel canto. However, the breath of national singing is flexible and diverse, including lifting air, sending air, kneading air, receiving air and pumping air. In addition, national singing also pays attention to "gas mouth", which is divided into fast and slow according to different feelings. No matter what kind of vent is used for ventilation, stop breathing and talking.
For example, the last word "line" in the first sentence of Shaanxi folk song "Blue Flower" is used in singing. In the first sentence of Han Jingting's ci and Zhao Jiping's ci "Broken Bridge", the bridge of the West Lake suddenly broke, ... "The word' lake' is used to lift gas, and the bridge is used to knead gas, which is used to breathe gas during singing. There is a vent between the "middle" and the "folding". In singing, we should constantly break the breath, break the meaning, and so on.
There are three kinds of vocalization in national singing. One is singing with true voice as the main voice, which mostly uses chest breathing, and the vocal cords vibrate as a whole, with a firm and bright voice. For example, the theme song "My Motherland" sung by Guo in the movie "Shangganling" and the folk song "Nanniwan" sung by Guo all use the real voice singing method. This kind of voice is suitable for singing songs in the middle and low range, because it is mainly true voice, so it is difficult to sing high notes.
The second kind is mainly falsetto, which is easier to sing high notes and more difficult to sing low notes. This kind of voice lacks the tension of vocal cords, and is often suitable for singing soft works, but not for singing powerful works. For example, Liu Changyu's Peking Opera "The Red Lantern" is "with a heart"; Yunnan folk song "Guess the Tone" and so on.
The third is the combination of true and false sounds. In this method, the bass is mainly true voice, mixed with a small part of falsetto. When it comes to high notes, falsetto is the main voice, and real voice is rare. Some people compare that "the position of falsetto is the real singing method". If this kind of sound can be organically combined with breath and * * *, then this kind of sound will be very round and bright, with both rigidity and softness. For example: Kissing the Motherland, Spring Rain in the Century, a night-mooring near maple bridge, Jasmine, etc. At present, this method of vocalization is basically adopted in folk songs singing in China, and it is also consistent with the vocalization method of Bel Canto.
The center of gravity of * * * and * * * in national singing is more flexible, and the overall mode of * * * is smaller than Bel Canto. It can be said that its singing channel is narrower than Bel Canto, and some works are even much narrower. The * * * singing method used in our national singing method is conducive to expressing the charm of our national language and melody. We can hear this from the sound effects.
National singing pays great attention to pronunciation and articulation, and requires "clear articulation and clear articulation", especially the above-mentioned: articulation, belly singing and ending. In national singing, it emphasizes "three-point singing and seven-point singing". For example, the folk song "Clear Water and Blue Sky" pays great attention to articulation in singing, and every word and sentence should be explained very clearly, so as to portray the inner changes of the protagonist Qin Xiao incisively and vividly. It can be seen that national singing pays great attention to articulation. Similarly, this is very similar to the clear, round and smooth Italian of Bel Canto.
Third, popular singing.
Popular singing, also known as popular singing, originated from American black blues music, formed in the era of highly developed electroacoustic, and has its own aesthetic standards. Its melody is smooth and simple, its lyrics are very vivid, and it has the characteristics of popularity and self-entertainment. His singing pays attention to the rhythm of language, pays attention to articulation, articulation and euphemism, and uses soft voice and angry voice in singing.
Popular singing is to enlarge the effect with the help of sound, so a good sound recorder is very important. It combines dance performance, accompaniment and electro-acoustic band accompaniment with dazzling and changeable stage art lighting propaganda atmosphere and different singing methods, and integrates the singing skills of rap.
Breathing used in popular singing is chest-abdomen combined breathing and abdominal breathing. Its breathing is free, relaxed and stretched, and it is also a very natural breathing according to the needs of songs.
There are also true voice, falsetto and mixed voice in popular singing. When using a real person to speak, the vocal cords vibrate completely, and its * * * sound is mainly in the chest; Among popular songs, the main narrative songs are usually sung with real voices, and China singers such as Tian Zhen, Cai Qin, Jonathan Lee and Dick and Cowboy.
When falsetto is used, the vocal cords vibrate locally, and its * * * sound is mainly in the head cavity. The falsetto is characterized by a sharp and elegant voice, which needs the strong support of breath to control the strength of a good voice. Falsetto is generally used in the climax part of a song, that is, the high-pitched area. Most of it passes by and often appears alternately with the real voice. For example, Hang Tianqi sang a true story, and the last part of the song was sung in a pure falsetto.
The use of mixed voice is a kind of voice between true voice and falsetto voice, which is not loud and lacks strength. Generally, singers often use this method when entering the high-pitched area.
The * * * singing method in popular singing methods is also divided into chest * * * singing method, mouth * * * singing method and head * * * singing method. The * * * sound of popular singing is different from bel canto, so it is not necessary to have * * * sound in every sound when singing. For example, you don't need a * * tone when singing light notes and alto, but you must use this technique when singing high notes.
There are several styles of popular singing: rap style, music style, folk style, China national pop style, jazz style, rock style, country style and so on.
Generally speaking, with the development of the times, popular singing shows its strength more and more. For example, andrea bocelli, an Italian blind singer, developed pop singing to a higher level with the same skills as the three tenors in the world. Both the timbre of his voice and the expressive force of his music are world-class. He broke the boundary between pop songs and art songs in a brand-new way, ranking first in the pop music charts of many countries in Europe and America.
To sum up, the three singing methods should be consistent in the use of breathing, and abdominal breathing is suitable for any singing method, which is convenient and scientific.
In vocalization, Bel Canto pays attention to the mixed voice method; National singing pays attention to the combination of true and false sounds; The popular singing method uses the real voice singing method. In the use of * * * singing, Bel Canto pays attention to the whole singing, emphasizing the whole singing, the most important of which is "mask singing"; As far as bel canto is concerned, the cavity of national singing is relatively narrow, not as big as bel canto, and it is used more, but it also pays more attention to the voice hanging on the mask. Generally speaking, some are used when singing high notes, because there is a microphone when singing, so the volume of * * * is not particularly emphasized.
The * * * singing effect of the three singing methods is different, but the * * * singing is the same. In the articulation of singing, Bel Canto has changed the previous phenomenon of emphasizing sound over words, and now it also emphasizes clear articulation. This can be learned from the articulation of national singing, which is very helpful for singing bel canto works. The articulation of popular singing emphasizes that it should be as natural and clear as speaking. In short, all three singing methods require the voice to be in front, bright and clear.
In essence, the three singing methods are more "same" than "different". With the development of the times, everything is constantly developing and changing, and singing learning is no exception. As a vocal music teacher, when teaching vocal music skills, we should adopt effective teaching methods for students with different singing methods, so that students can master the basic methods and laws of singing faster and better, and lay a good foundation for training talents quickly and early.
