260【What is this thick and long musical instrument?】

Three days later.

In a small rehearsal room in CCTV building, a group of people were pushing the door and walking in.

Since Li Yange came to CCTV Building three days ago last time, the team sent by the Central National Orchestra has finally been confirmed. There is a Li Yange's acquaintance, who once accompanied Mr. Wu Man to perform in the United States.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Yange standing on the stage. Wu Man walked over with a smile and said, "Haha, Yange, we can perform on the same stage again."

Since joining the team to perform in the United States this year, after several months of training, Wu Man admired his junior brother very much. When he saw that his name was on the list of performances participating in the Spring Festival Gala this year, he was also the first to sign up.

"Senior Brother Wu."

Seeing Wu Man coming with the people from the National Orchestra, Li Yange immediately walked down from the stage and greeted him with a smile: "I originally wanted to go to the National Orchestra to talk to you after returning to China, but who knew that the Spring Festival Gala column team came to me."

Wu Man said: "I also heard that you were going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, so I specially recommended myself to my teacher. I heard that you wrote a very good song?"

"It's okay." Li Yange smiled, then looked at the group of people behind Wu Man, swept around, but didn't see a few acquaintances, and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Wu, won't you introduce me?"

"Look at my brain!"

Wu Man slapped his forehead and quickly introduced: "Come on, let me introduce you to you. This is Chen Qin, a good guzheng player in our orchestra. He is also from our Yangyin graduate. He is one year older than me, and he is also your senior sister."

When he heard that he was also Yangyin's senior sister, although Li Yange did not know the other party, he still politely stepped forward and shook hands and said, "Hello, Senior Sister Chen, thank you for coming to help!"

Chen Qin's skin was very white, her fingers were very slender, her nails were neatly trimmed, and her fingers were slightly calloused. At a glance, you could tell that she was playing the guzheng for many years.

Seeing Li Yange being so polite, Chen Qin smiled and said, "You are polite, Junior Brother Li, what help? Thanks to my junior brother participating in the Spring Festival Gala, otherwise I probably wouldn't have the chance to appear on the Spring Festival Gala."

"Senior sister is joking. I heard from Director Zhang that the national band would send someone here this time, and I just happened to be the same." Li Yange waved his hand modestly, not caring about the compliments he said.

"Come on, Yan Ge, I'll introduce to you this Zhang Dahai who is Dizi."

"These two are drummer Liu Yishou and Erhu Wang Aiguo."

“…”

Most of the members of the Central National Orchestra who came to the scene were from the Central Music School and the Chinese Conservatory of Music.

In 1973, these two schools merged into the Conservatory of Music of the Central Five Seven University of Arts, although in 1980, the two schools returned to their respective institutions.

But the group of people in front of me happened to be graduating from the "Central May 7th University of Art", so strictly speaking, they are all Li Yange's senior brothers and sisters.

So after listening to the introduction of Senior Brother Wu Man, Li Yange smiled and said, "Dear Senior Brothers and Sisters, thank you for your help this time. After the rehearsal today, I will invite you to Fengzeyuan for a big meal."

"Haha, Junior Brother Li is so polite. Then I have to rehearse hard, so I can wait until it's over and have a big meal with my stomach."

"Fengzeyuan, I heard that the Lucai in that restaurant is authentic."

"Young brother, you're so kind. We happened to be ordered."

“…”

No matter what, Li Yange's modest and polite attitude made the band members smile, not to mention that there was a big meal in Fengze Garden tonight.

You should know that people who live in Sijiu City all go to Shandong Caiba Restaurant and Fengzeyuan are also the most popular time-honored brands.

The taste is good, but the price is very expensive. There are not many people who can go there for a big meal.

Wu Man had been rehearsing with Li Yange for several months and went to the United States for more than a month, so he had a close relationship. He said bluntly: "Okay, junior brother, let's talk about the meal later. Where is your score? Take it for us to take a look!"

"I'll give it to you." Li Yange immediately turned around and took out the music scores prepared earlier for more than ten minutes, and handed them to everyone one by one.

Everyone took the score and immediately opened it and read it. The score was not long. After a total of calculations, it took only about three minutes.

But the opening Dafa roster and drum beat music still surprised everyone.

You should know that instruments like Dafa are rare among common music, and they often appear the most frequently in some Buddhist rituals in temples or snow areas.

"You have a Dafa number?" Senior Sister Chen Qin swept around the studio in surprise, but she didn't see any Dafa number's musical instruments.

"Yes, isn't that the same on the stage?" Li Yange turned around and pointed to a strange instrument on the stage that looked like a bamboo pole, about two meters away.

The shape of this instrument is a bit similar to that of a suona, both of which are conical, but it is much longer than a suona, and the tube is thicker, and it looks like a bamboo.

However, there are a little colored patterns on the surface, and the top of the trumpet is also inlaid with copper.

"Is this the Dafa?"

This thing is rare, and it is very novel for everyone to see.

Almost few people have seen the Dafa name in Beijing. Even the Central National Orchestra, which has the most ethnic instruments in the country, has seen it for the first time.

Li Yange nodded and said, "Well, this is the Dafa name. It's hard to find this thing, but I asked someone to borrow it from a collector. It is said that this thing was used in the Qing Dynasty when the rituals were performed every year, but later it was spread among the people."

A member of the band next to him walked around the Dafa, looked around, and then nodded and said, "No wonder the patterns on it are so beautiful. It turns out that they were used in the palace."

Another man said, "How to use it? Such a big tube should be very exhausting to blow, right?"

Anyone who has played the trumpet or suona knows that this kind of instrument is the most intensive. The tube of this Dafa horn is so long that it is difficult for ordinary people to play it, let alone blow it with a sense of rhythm.

Li Yange said: "Yes, so I specially invited a master who is proficient in performance to come over. I made an appointment with him at 9:30, and he probably will have to wait a while."

"Then let's rehearse first?" It's only about nine o'clock now. When he heard that the other party had only half an hour before he came, Wu Man shook the score in his hand and asked.

"Well, then we'll all line up first!"
