Introduction:

Miao nationality is a nation good at singing. Although Miao culture is rich, there is no writing, so songs have become the inheritance of Miao history. It is also for this reason that Miao songs are inseparable from weddings and funerals. Songs are not only the media of Miao love, but also the adjustment and decoration of Miao festivals, weddings and work. It can be said that Miao songs are the spiritual pillar of Miao people. In particular, the flying songs of the Miao nationality, because of their beautiful melody, kindness and nature, imply the connection with nature and people, and will be unforgettable after listening to them. At present, there are many experts and scholars who study flying songs of Miao nationality, and they have achieved good results, but the research on vocal music singing is still relatively scarce. In order to make up for the blank in the research, this paper mainly studies the singing characteristics and forms of Ge Fei, a Miao nationality.

First, the characteristics of Ge Fei's singing of Miao nationality

(A) the relationship between lyrics and tunes is closer.

From the content analysis of Gefei of Miao nationality, it is an important part of China national music, and Gefei of Miao nationality is directly related to the life and culture of Miao people. Flying songs include Miao people's life, farming, weddings and funerals. Miao flying songs need to be sung by words in the process of singing, so as to convey the feelings and meanings between the lines and express the feelings of Miao people. Formally speaking, the flying songs of Miao nationality are generally 30 sentences, which are divided into three-character, five-character, seven-character and eight-character sentences. The most common is five sentences, which are short and easy to sing. At the same time, there is a fixed format in beat and rhythm, and the length and speed of the tune are fixed, and it can also be developed appropriately on the original tune. [1] In Miao flying songs, the first sentence is generally faster, the back is slower and slower, and the drawl is more and more serious. At the same time, the second sentence is also fast first and then slow down, which will be lower and longer in the process of slow down. The third and fourth sentences are sung at a medium speed, then gradually accelerated, and the climax part is sung quickly, and finally the procrastination singing method is adopted.

(2) distinctive melodic features.

Miao flying songs have a unique melody, which is a pentatonic system and an important part of China pentatonic system, among which key signature is the most. At the same time, although some flying songs have alternating modes in the front and middle, the last part of the music often ends with key signature. This mode is directly related to the Miao language and the singing style formed over the years. In addition, the flying songs of Miao nationality have a relatively fixed format in terms of rhythm length and speed, so there are also inherent patterns in the process of notation.

Through the creation and development of these fixed formats, the flying songs of Miao nationality show different characteristics: first, the tunes of flying songs are generally loud and magnificent, which can reflect the indomitable spirit of the Miao people and the spirit of daring to struggle against difficulties, and then show the indomitable spirit and temperament of the Miao people; Secondly, the melody fluctuates greatly, the rhythm is free and rambling, and the free combination of breath and rest in the sentence can reflect the free character of Miao people; Thirdly, there are many sliding sounds in the songs, and the way of opening the first sentence and throwing the cavity at the end of the sentence reflects the charm of Miao vocal music. [2]

Among the flying songs of Miao nationality, the flying songs of Qingshui Valley are the most representative, and there are also many famous singers, such as A San and A Po. They are all excellent singers who grew up in Miao village, and they show the special interpretation of Miao flying songs to the audience all over the country. For example, in the early days of liberation, a song "Chairman Mao Comes" showed us the characteristics of Miao flying songs, which was the first time that Miao flying songs were displayed on the national stage. With the widespread spread of this song, Miao people fly songs.

The style of this song is bold and unrestrained, and people can feel the emotions contained in it during the singing process. It is a very typical form of tune-seeking flying song. There are only four notes in the whole tune: 1, 3, 5, 6, of which 5 is a stable voice, which is the support of the whole tune. In the whole song, the biggest feature is from 3 to 3, which is also the biggest feature of the song. From the melody analysis of this song, the whole song is a typical four-sentence structure song, and the whole tune is centered around the melody of the first sentence. The materials of the first sentence and the second sentence are exactly the same. The first sentence is characterized by the large tonality of 1, 3 and 5, while the second sentence is reduced to 3 and 1 and 5, forming a soft and delicate emotional expression feature. [3] Through the alternation of these two emotional colors, it gives people a combination of simplicity and modernity, which can reflect the aesthetic feeling of unique personality. In the process of the singer's interpretation of Ge Fei, those who enter the third cavity become warped and slipped. Because the tone of Miao language is exaggerated in the pronunciation of the prefix, Gefei's opening will have decorative sounds, and the vocal cords will vibrate for a long time, which will lead to Boeing, which embodies the free and easy, bold and delicate character of Miao people.

(3) Gefei's singing form.

Miao people all like singing, and they all know how to sing, so in terms of vocal music, Miao flying songs are more personalized and have their own style in the process of singing. From the perspective of singing forms, Ge Fei has many singing styles, including chorus, solo, duet and duet. Moreover, in the process of singing, Feige can also adopt the method of multi-voice, and in some areas, folk songs with flat cavity and high cavity are also integrated. In terms of singing, the original ecological singing is more popular in recent years. Miao flying songs are all interpreted in Miao language and natural singing. There is no need for accompaniment in the process of singing, and occasionally some percussion music is added, which has strong original ecological characteristics and national and local characteristics (continued on page 58). Therefore, Gefei is also an authentic original singing method. In the process of singing, it is comfortable and natural, mainly to express feelings, and it is more delicate and enthusiastic in the expression of emotions. The voice is constantly changing from weak to strong, and the emotions are ups and downs. It is customary to add "oh fire" from singing to the end to further highlight the emotion of the song.

(4) The structural features of Miao Feige.

There are many kinds of flying songs of Miao nationality, each tune has its own characteristics, and the singing method is also very different. At the same time, in the expression of emotion, tenor singing is mostly used, and the structure mainly adopts two-stage structure. The first paragraph is the head of music, which is mainly composed of two phrases, with more freedom in rhythm and simple and soothing singing. The melody often starts with a short "er" sound, which is relatively slow and long; The next paragraph is the end of the music. This part of the melody has a lively rhythm and a strong sense of jumping. At the end of the song, it is customary to sing slowly. In this way, it echoes the rhythm of the last film to form a complete melody form, which is also a summary of the whole melody artistic conception, making the flying song more concise and fresh. At the same time, different regions have different forms of flying songs, but their structures are very similar. Therefore, in the process of singing, Miao people need to pay attention to improvisation according to their own conditions, and form the characteristics of Miao flying songs.

Second, the formal beauty characteristics of Miao flying songs

Like other national songs, the flying songs of Miao nationality are unified in content and form. Singing Miao flying songs is not for singing, but for promoting history and culture, so the content of Miao flying songs is true, kind and beautiful. The overview of Miao flying songs can be divided into six parts, including the reflection of beautiful love, the imitation of natural sounds, the performance of daily life and etiquette, the display of people's sufferings, the production process, the reflection of life knowledge and the telling of historical stories.

The formal beauty of Miao flying songs is not only reflected in music, but also in the form and form of music. From Ge Fei's traditional composition, we can analyze its beauty from two aspects: the first is the formal beauty of the content, which embodies the combination of certain educational functions and realistic aesthetics; Second, its own formal beauty, many songs are inspired by nature, but also show the original ecological flying songs, which often include some gurgling sound of running water and birdsong. These sounds far exceed the charm of artistic music.

Third, the conclusion

To sum up, flying songs of Miao nationality have certain research value in music, folklore, history and language. With the development and progress of society, Miao areas are more and more influenced by foreign cultures, and the lifestyle and habits of Miao people are forced to change. However, Miao folk songs are constantly inherited and developed because they are rooted in fertile cultural fertile soil. Through the analysis of Gefei's singing characteristics and formal beauty characteristics, it can reflect Gefei's charm and further prove that Gefei has great research value.
