Ode to Joy, one of the eight great songs of the south of the Yangtze River, has a bright rhythm and a smooth melody, and the whole song is full of joyful emotions.
Happy song: one of the eight great songs of Jiangnan silk and bamboo, with lively and warm tunes, ups and downs and rich colors.
Singing, the melody is smooth, from slow to fast, indicating that the mood of joy is gradually rising, and it is often used in lively occasions such as festive temple fairs to express people's happy mood in festive festivals.
In music, the variation technique of slowly adding flowers was adopted, and the mother song Ode to Joy was developed into adagio and medium-sized paragraphs. Taking the mother song as this paragraph, the variation structure of (A 1A2A) is formed, which means that the theme of development is late, so some people call it "transposition variation".
"Slow down" means multiplying the tonal rhythm of the mother song layer by layer, for example, slowing down one beat to two or four beats to expand the structure. "Adding flowers" means adding several adjacent sounds around the main part of the mother song to decorate and enrich the melody. In this way, it has developed into a new tune that has a certain contrast with the mother song. Without careful analysis, it is difficult to identify its source. This is the most widely used melody development technique in the creation of traditional national instrumental music. The national instrumental ensemble "Good Jiangnan" was adapted accordingly.
