欢迎回到239音乐教室 世界音乐介绍课堂 Welcome back to Music 239, Intro to World Music.
这一节我们要讲的是中国音乐 We begin this episode with music of China.
还包括课本中提到的香港音乐 Also included in your text is music of Hong Kong
和新加坡音乐 and Singapore.
不过我们开始要讲的是 We will be beginning though
宗教对音乐的影响 by talking about some of the religious influences.
在ppt上 你们看到的是 On your powerpoint the picture that you see here is
青岛大学中国交响乐团 of the Qingdao University Chinese Orchestra.
我曾经有机会在那儿和他们 And I had the opportunity to work with this orchestra
合作 in Qingdao at the university there.
你们在图上看到的 And the instruments that you see displayed there
那些乐器 are many of the instruments
我们在课上 that we're going to be talking about
都会谈到 during this unit of the course.
所以大家 So one of the most important things you can do
要做的一件很重要的事情 in this unit is to pay attention to
就是知道这些乐器的名字 what the instrument's names are
和它们的样子 and what they are like.
这是我们之后要 And that's one of the things
侧重的部分 that we're going to focus on
另一部分就是你们课本中提到的音乐 as well as the music that is in your text.
好 我先讲一下 So, let's start by talking about
宗教在中国的影响 the religious influences on China.
课本中列的第一个就是道教 And the first of these that your books list is Daoism.
它起源于一本名为《道德经》的书 It comes from a book entitled Dao De Jing.
《道德经》已经 And the Dao De Jing is a book
成书很久了 that has been around for a long time.
Dao De Jing 或者Tao Te Ching The Dao De Jing or Tao Te Ching
是英文中常用的两种翻译 as you sometimes see it in English translation,
通常被认为是老子写的 was supposedly written by somebody named Lao Tzu,
但是 实际上 but in fact that,
老子这样读更好 Lao Tzu is actually the better pronunciation,
他指的可能不是某一个具体的人 and it actually may not refer to an actual person
而是一群人 but to a group of people
经过了几百年 and over the centuries
这些作品被收集到一起 these pieces of literature were collected.
我读其中的一个片段 Here's an example.
选自《道德经》37章 This is number 37 from the Dao De Jing.
它主要讲的是 The whole idea being that
若想实现某一目标 sometimes if you want something to happen
你需要从相反的方向用力 then you have to do the opposite.
你们的课本上提到了阴阳 Your book talks about yin and yang,
讲的也就是男女 雌雄 it talks about the male and female.
你们可以读下书里是怎么解释的 You can read what your book says about it.
但是这一章特别能 But this particular piece of work is one
代表道德经或者道教 that is typical of Dao De Jing and Daoism.
道常无为 "Dao abides in non-action,
而无不为 yet nothing is left undone.
候王若能守之 If kings and lords observed this,
万物将自化 the ten thousand things would develop naturally.
化而欲作 If they still desired to act,
吾将镇之以无名之朴 they would return to
无名之朴 the simplicity of the formless substance.
夫将不欲 Without form there is no desire.
不欲以静 Without desire there is tranquility.
天下将自定 And in this way all things would be at peace."
也就是说 如果你想获得什么的话 So in this case if you want something
最好的办法就是不要想获得它 the best thing to do is to not desire it.
这听起来很奇怪 It seems incongruous,
似乎是事与愿违 it seems to be counterproductive
但这就是道 but in fact this is the way of the Dao
而道也就是道路 which is what Dao actually means is way.
关于道德经的翻译 This particular translation by the way,
我们有很多版本 there are many translations.
冯家福和英格里希的版本 And this one by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English
是特别好的一版 is quite a good one.
如果你想读下《道德经》的英译版 And if you're looking for a translation of Dao De Jing
不妨看下这一版 you might look into this one.
在ppt上 So, on your powerpoint
你们可以看到道德经这三个字怎么写 then you can see the Chinese characters for it.
道 道路 德 美德 Dao, the way. De, virtue,
经 经典 and Jing meaning classic.
你们也可以看到这三个字的汉字形式 You also see on these three words the characters
以及这三个汉字的 and also the pinyin which is the phoneticization
拼音形式 of the pronunciation of Chinese words.
在每一个字上 And on each of these words
都有不同的声调标记 there is a different tone marking.
道的声调 So that the word Dao is the tone
先高后低 that starts high and ends low.
这是2声 This is actually second tone.
德是四声 The second one is fourth tone,
先低后高 德 starting low and ending high. De.
经是一声 And then finally jing is first tone,
很平稳 straight across.
还有三声 And then there's a third tone
我们之后会谈到 that we'll talk about later.
汉字的声调特别重要 But the tones in Chinese are very important.
你们的课本对这点进行了解释 And your book has an explanation of those
还有关于如何发音的 and also has a pronunciation guide of
专门指导 how to pronounce some of these.
这很好 And that's good
因为这样你们就可以看到中国乐器后 because you can learn to pronounce
说出它们的名字 the instrument names correctly when you see them.
所以道教是其中起影响作用的一种宗教 So, Daoism, one of the religious influences.
还有一个就是儒家思想 Another one is Confucianism.
这是我在一个很著名的地方 And here's a picture that was taken of me
拍的照片 in a very famous place.
石头上的汉字 And the characters on the stone marker
实际上是曲阜 there actually are the name of the town Qufu
也就是孔子之前主要的授课地点 where Confucius actually had his main headquarters
家庙所在地 and where his temple were and
以及之后追随者最终学习儒家思想的地方 where his followers ultimately learned Confucianism
这在中国持续了几千年 which lasted for many thousands of years in China.
有趣的是 这些字 Interestingly the characters here
出自于一位很著名的书法家 were written in a famous person's calligraphy.
你们知道他是谁吗? Can anybody guess who it is?
这实际上是毛泽东的笔迹 It's actually Chairman Mao's calligraphy
他写了曲阜 之后刻在了石头上 that was used to put the words Qufu
放在了孔庙前 on the stone marker there and at the temple of Confucius.
第三种宗教是佛教 在中国很盛行 The third religion, Buddhism, very popular in China.
你们在ppt上看到的照片 And the picture I have on your powerpoint
就是一个佛教寺庙的神龛 is of an alter at a Buddhist temple.
这是在中国南部的 This was actually taken in Guangzhou, China,
广州拍摄的 in the south of China.
你们可以看在 One of the things that you can see
在照片的最右边 有一个碗 to the far right of your photo you can see a bowl,
一个很大的碗 a large bowl.
我今天带了它的一个复制品 And I have a replica of it here
来给大家演奏一下 that I wanted to play for you.
因为如果如果你去寺庙 Because if you go to a Buddhist temple
求和尚的祝福 to be blessed by the monk
他会做的其中一件事 one of the things that the monk will do
就是敲击这个碗 也就是唱钵 is to play a tone on the singing bowl.
也被称为"藏钟" These are also known as Tibetan singing bowls
因为敲击它的边缘 because you can not only produce a tone
不仅可以发出声响 by striking the edge of the bowl
还可以通过转动外缘 but you can then produce a residual vibration
产生残余震动 从而发出另一种声音 by moving around the outside and creating a tone
佛教教徒认为这样的声音有治愈作用 that the Buddhist believe has healing properties.
如果你在youtube上 If you go to youtube
搜索"藏钟" and type in Tibetan singing bowl
你就会看到很多人 you can find lots of examples of people
用不同的唱钵 with multiple bowls getting them to produce
制造出共振 sympathetic vibrations with each other
发出一些很了不起的声效 and creating some amazing aural effects.
所以你们可以在网上查一下 So you might check that out on the internet.
这就是一些很棒的唱钵 There's some excellent examples of singing bowls.
但是你们在照片上看到的大点的 But the larger one that you see in this photo
有不同的祝福用途 was used for blessings of various types.
在佛教徒的神龛 At a Buddhist shrine
人们还会挂上已逝亲人的 people will sometimes hang pictures
图像 of their departed relatives
就像你们在照片中 like the ones on the little yellow pieces of plastic
看到的那些黄色的塑料部分 that you see here in this photo.
他们会去寺庙的神龛 And then they'll bring fruit and food
为自己已逝的亲人 to leave for their departed relatives
准备水果和事物 at the shrine at the Buddhist temple.
接下来一张照片是 Here, next shot is a photo of
一个和尚在为婴儿祈福 a Buddhist monk blessing babies.
中国有很多孤儿 And these were all babies that had been adopted
都是美国夫妇收养的 from China by US parents.
我也是其中之一 And one of them was mine.
我和我的妻子2005年的时候从中国领养了一个小孩 My wife and I adopted a child from China back in 2005
这是之后 and this was a picture
照的照片 that was taken shortly after that.
在这张照片里 And so in this case
和尚给了这些婴儿一个圣女果 the monk is giving a cherry tomato to the babies
作为前来祈福的礼物 as a gift for coming and receiving his blessing.
基督教传教士对中国 Now, Christian missionaries also had a major influence
很有很大的影响 尤其是在19世纪晚期的时候 in China, particularly in the late 19th century.
这样很多美国流行歌曲 The, this caused musically a lot of the introduction
得以引入中国 to American popular songs
在19世纪晚期 from the late 19th
和20世纪早期的时候 and early 20th century into China.
在中国 很有名的这样一首歌曲 One of the most well-known songs in China
就是《哦 苏珊娜》 is Oh Susannah.
这儿有人听过这首歌吗? Anybody know that song, here?
你知道 Yeah, you know that song.
是谁写的? And who wrote that song?
史蒂文·福斯特 Student: Steven Foster.
史蒂文福斯特写的这首歌 Prescott: Steven Foster wrote that song.
对 是他写的这首歌 Yes. Steven Foster wrote that song.
有人会唱吗? Can anybody sing it?
有人知道这首歌吗? Anybody know that song?
她会来到山这边? Student: She'll be coming around the mountain?
不 不是那首 Prescott: No, it's not that,
不是她会来到山这边 not she'll be coming around the mountain.
"哦 苏珊娜" Students: "Oh Susannah..."
别哭泣 Prescott: "Oh don't you cry for me.
我来自阿拉巴马 I'm coming from Alabama
带上心爱的五弦琴 with a banjo on my knee."
嗯 然后歌词是这样的 Yeah. And then the verse goes
晚上起程大雨下不停 "it rained all night the night I left,
但是天气还干燥 the weather it was dry.
烈日当空 我心却冰冷 Got so hot I froze to death.
苏珊娜 别哭泣 Susannah don't you cry."
还挺无厘头的 是吧? And it's a nonsense song, right?
晚上起程大雨下不停 "It rained so hard the night I left,
但是天气还干燥 the weather it was dry.
烈日当空 我心却冰冷 It got so hot I froze to death."
所以基本上都是对立的 So it basically means opposites,
我们仔细想的话 会觉得和道德经很像 almost like Dao De Jing when you think about it.
这在中国很著名 But it's a well known tune in China.
很多中国人都知道这个曲调 I would say a lot of people in China know this tune.
他们知道这个调子 And they know it
是因为传教士在20世纪早期的时候 because the missionaries brought it over
把这首歌传到了中国 when it was a popular song in the early 20th century.
我最近一次去中国 And when I was in China most recently,
是在2010年的夏天 which was in the summer of 2010,
我看的是一个儿童节目 I turned on a children's program
然后听到一个关于大西瓜的歌曲 and heard a song about a watermelon
用的是哦苏珊娜的调子 to the tune of Oh Susannah.
大概是这么唱的 And it went something like this:
大西瓜 大西瓜 我们一起吃西瓜 Ok, now you're going to learn to sing that song.
现在我们要开始学唱这首歌 Ok. We're going to sing it.
好 我们一块儿来唱一下 What does it mean?
大西瓜 大西瓜 我们一起吃西瓜 Student: Big watermelon.
它的意思是什么 Prescott: Big watermelon.
大西瓜 Big watermelon.
大西瓜 We together eat watermelon.
大西瓜 That's what it means.
大西瓜 And so kids are watching this show
大西瓜 and they're absorbing this information
我们一起吃西瓜 and they think that this is a Chinese song.
就是这个意思 But in fact the song was written by Steven Foster
这些孩子就看着节目 and taken over to China by missionaries.
获得了这样的信息 And so you see an influence of religion
然后觉得这是首中文歌 on the music of a nation that way.
但实际上是由史蒂文福斯特写的 So there's hundreds of tunes
有传教士传入中国 that are in that kind of category
这样我们就可以看出宗教 that have been adapted into the mainstream of music
对一个国家音乐的影响 particularly for children in China.
有几百首 And this is an example.
这样的音乐 On your CDs
被改编 成为主流音乐的一部分 you see an example from Hong Kong
尤其是中国儿童音乐的一部分 of contemporary Christian music,
这就是一个例子 a song called Praise from Heaven and Earth.
在你们的CD上 And it's on CD 4, track 6.
还有一个香港 I'm going to let you listen to that one on your own.
当代的基督音乐 You can go to your CDs and listen to that track.
名字是《天地颂歌》 I'm not going to play it for you in class
在CD4 第六首 but it is a good example of
我希望你们在课下可以自己听下 contemporary Christian music in Hong Kong.
你们可以找到那张CD的那首歌听一下 Thus you see some of the influences of religion
我不会在课堂上放 in China.
但是它代表了 Now, as I mentioned previously
香港当代的基督教音乐 we're going to be doing a lot of work
这样我们就可以看到中国 with the instruments of traditional Chinese music
宗教对音乐的影响 in this class.
我之前说过 And I have a list of them here
我们在课上 on your powerpoint slide
会介绍和使用很多 that refers to the songs on your CDs
中国的传统乐器 in which they appear.
在你们的ppt上 The first of these is the pipa which you find
我做了一个列表 on the song Great Waves Washing the Sands.
会提到CD中的音乐 What I want to do today is to show you a pipa.
用了哪些乐器 First though let me also show you the photo
第一个就是在《大浪淘沙》中 on the powerpoint of the pipa class that I took
用到的琵琶 when I was in China a couple of years ago.
我今天就想为大家展示一下 And I was taken to see this group of 24 girls,
首先大家在ppt上 probably between the ages of 10 and 12,
会看到我几年前在中国 all playing together in a pipa class.
参加琵琶课的照片 And they were incredibly good
我当时看到有24个小姑娘 because there was a waiting list of
大约都在10到12岁之间 about 100 students to get into this class
在琵琶课上一起演奏 and they only took 24
她们弹得都特别好 and so you can bet that
因为大概有 the ones that were in it
100个学生都排着队等着进这个班 were very, very good at what they did.
最后只选了24个 Amazing abilities and they practice incredibly hard
可想而知 to be able to play these instruments.
这些孩子是 That's one of the things that I found
多么多么的优秀 about my visits to China
她们能力都很强 而且练习得也很努力 and visiting Chinese music students is that
来演奏这些乐器 they all work extremely hard.
这是我在中国 They practice all the time.
参观那些音乐学生的 When I was at Qingdao University
发现之一 you had to wait in line to get a practice room.
她们都很用功 They probably had 100 practice rooms in this building
一直在排练 and all of them were always full every time
我在青岛的时候 that the building was open.
你需要排队才能等到练习室 So, the students were practicing all the time.
青岛大学有100个练习室 And this group was no exception.
开放的时候 They had obviously practiced very hard
所有的练习室都是满的 and they played extremely well.
所以这些学生一直都在练习 So if we go back to our instrument list here
这群孩子也不例外 our first one on there is the pipa
她们显然练习地很用功 and this is what the instrument looks like up close.
弹得特别好 It's sort of pear shaped, almost like a lute
好 我们回到这里的乐器列表 except it doesn't have as deep of a back
第一个就是琵琶 as a lute would have.
这就是近距离观察的样子 They're four strings tuned to A, D, E, A.
有点梨型 或者是鲁特琴 And it's a fretted instrument;
除了没有竖琴的 that is pitches change by placing the fingers
后面 in different positions in between the frets,
有四种定弦为A D E A. in the recessed area here.
属于弦乐器 So what I'm going to do is to grab a chair
通过手指按压相和品 and do a little bit of prep work here
的不同位置来变调 to show you how this instrument is played.
在这里凹陷的部分 I'm not a pipa player myself
所以我要做的就是找一把椅子 so be aware that what you're seeing here
做一些准备工作 is just a cursory demonstration.
向你们展示琵琶是怎么弹奏的 But one of the things that has to be done is
我自己不是个琵琶手 you have to put fake fingernails on your right hand
所以要记住你们现在看到的 unless you are willing to spend time
只是一个粗略的展示 growing fingernails like some guitarists do.
不过我们必须要做一件事 But that's pretty rare.
那就是你需要在自己的右手上戴好假指甲 Most of the time the players will have to
除非你愿意等很久很久 actually take what's almost like medical tape
让自己的指甲再长出来 就像一下吉他手一样 and tape the picks to their fingers
那很少见 on the right hand only.
很多时候演奏者需要 Now as I'm doing this,
使用类似于医疗胶带的胶带 your text has an example of pipa music
然后把他们的手指 that you see listed on your powerpoint;
缠上胶带 the Great Waves Washing the Sands.
我这样的做的时候 And this is a famous piece
你们在ppt上 by the pipa player Abing
可以看到琵琶音乐的例子 who is well known throughout China
《大浪淘沙》 as a very famous player.
它是由著名演奏家阿炳 You can read all about him in your text
演奏的 because there's some controversy about
他在中国 who he really was
很有名 and what he really was.
你们在课本上可以看到他的介绍 But I'll let your text explain that to you
因为关于他到底是谁 a little bit more detail.
是做什么的 But the pronunciation of his name is very important
目前还存在争议 because both of them,
不过我会让你们的课本 both of the syllables of his name are in first tone
告诉你更多的细节 which is the one that goes straight across.
但是他名字的发音很重要 So instead of Abing or Abing,
因为这两个 as you might be inclined to pronounce it,
他名字的两个音节都是一声 both of the tones are actually equal in emphasis
就是平直的 so it's Abing.
所以不是阿并或者阿丙 Everybody say that:
你们可能会倾向这么发 Everyone: Abing.
两个音节的重音是相同的 Prescott: And almost sing it: Abing.
是阿炳 Everyone: Abing.
大家一起说 Prescott: Yeah, good.
阿炳 So, you're learning a little bit about
有点像唱歌 阿炳 the tones in Chinese.
阿炳 Now, let's talk a little bit about
很好 the actual technique of playing the pipa
所以你们现在学了点 because your book does have some information on that.
汉语的声调 If you look ahead to the example on the page
我还要讲下 that talks about the pipa itself,
弹奏琵琶的实际技巧 where example 8.2 is,
因为你们的课本有相关的信息 if you look at that page
如果你们看之后讲琵琶的 you'll see some description of
那个例子 the different types of strokes necessary to play it.
也就是8.2 Now I've finally got all 5 picks on there
如果你们看这一页 and you almost feel like you can claw somebody now.
你就会看到不同指法的 It's a little kind of a scary feeling.
描述 But if you look at the description there,
现在我终于带上了5个假指甲 ton means a rightward pluck with the index finger.
我觉得已经可以挠人了 So rightward would mean
感觉有点恐怖 going towards the right like this,
但是如果你们看这里的描述 in like this.
弹指的是用食指向右弹拨 Whereas tiao is a stroke from the opposite direction
向右意味着 with the thumb, like this.
这样向右 So ton, tiao.
像这样 Those are the two first strokes.
挑是指用大拇指向反方向 Then there's gun which is a roll produced
弹拨 by doing ton, tiao, ton, tiao,
弹 挑 together in sequence.
这就是前两种指法 And then finally lun which is
然后还有滚 通过依次 a rolling with all of the fingers
弹 挑 弹 挑 弹 to produce almost a rolling effect like
发出声音 you'd be rolling with a mallet instrument for example.
轮就是 So realizing that I'm not a pipa player,
所有的手指 with that disclaimer in mind,
轮拨产生拨动的效果 let me just play a couple of things here
你会需要这样的一个小木槌工具 that show you first of all what it's like
所以记住我不是琵琶演奏者 to fret the different notes and the sound of course.
记住这一点 There's ton, tiao, ton, tiao.
我给大家弹一下 And then as you fret the instrument then,
展示一下 it becomes a chromatic instrument
不同的指法和发出的声音 because each of the frets is a different half-step.
这是弹 挑 弹 挑 So this instrument is actually tuned
之后你们弹奏琵琶时 like a guitar would be
就会产生均匀的音调 with half-step equal tempered tuning.
因为每一个品就代表一个不同的半音 That's not the case with all of the instruments
它就实际上变成了 we're going to look at.
吉他 But the four different,
均匀的半音调音 four different pitches A, D, E,
这不同于我们之后要看到的 A in which it's tuned changed
别的乐器 by the tuning pegs up here
但是这四个不同的 and then the actual tuning
不同的定弦A.D.E and the changing of the pitches here.
A是通过把调音弦轴 So ton, tiao.
改在这儿调成的 And then the gun going back and forth very quickly
然后实际的调音 between ton and tiao.
和音调改变是在这儿 And then the last one.
这就是弹 挑 Now imagine that going 10 times faster
滚是快速地进行 then I'm able to do it
弹和挑 and you'll get an idea of
然后最后一点 what it's like to be a pipa player.
想象下我现在所做的 Anybody here want to do it?
10倍快 Anybody want to learn?
你们就会知道 You can, by the way.
成为琵琶演奏者是怎么样的 We do have a class that I've told you about
有人想试一下吗? and if you would like to become a pipa player,
有人想学一下吗? particularly if you already play the guitar,
顺便说一下 是可以的 this is a real easy crossover to make
我之前给大家说过 我们有这样的课程 if you're already a guitarist.
如果你想成为琵琶演奏者 So think about that
尤其是如果你知道怎么弹吉他 because there are some opportunities that we have,
就可以很快学到 as I've mentioned for you to learn to
如果你已经是吉他手的话 play these instruments.
所以想想看 So let me know about that.
因为我们有这些机遇 But that's the basics of the pipa.
我之前已经说过 Now, your recording on track 3, 11 for that.
你们有这样的机会学习弹奏 Music
如果感兴趣的话就告诉我 So does everybody hear the rolling affects
这些就是琵琶的基本知识 that are going on,
现在我们听一下第三首和第11首 on some of the sustained notes?
音乐 Because since the instrument
大家有没有在调子中 can't sustain a note any longer than
听出 the string is vibrating,
弹拨的效果? that's as long as it's going to be able to sustain it.
因为这个乐器 So for that reason,
发出的声音不能 there's the roll affect of having all of the fingers
超出弦所能振动 play in sequence with each other
产生音乐的时间 in a very fast motion.
所以 And I can tell you from the experiences of students
就会有所有的手指 who have tried to learn how to play it,
依次以很快的速度 that is the hardest thing to learn
弹过的效果 how to do on this instrument is
根据那些学过琵琶同学的经验 to coordinate the right hand fingers
要学 in such a way that they are playing 1, 2, 3, 4,
如何弹奏这一乐器 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4.
最难的就是 That takes years of practice.
协调右手的手指 And it's the kind of thing
来弹奏1 2 3 4 that you almost needed to have learned
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 when you were as old as the girls
这需要很多年的练习 that you saw in the photo, in the pipa class.
这几乎需要 Because it really requires
你在和照片中的女孩子 quite a bit of control and finger dexterity
那么大的时候 that some of us don't have.
就开始学习弹奏 And I'm certainly in that category myself.
因为它真的需要 So, that's a brief introduction to the pipa.
一定的控制力和手指灵活度 So make sure you know that instrument
有些人并没有这样的能力 and know what tune goes with it.
我显然是没有 We'll continue on Friday.
这就是关于琵琶简短的介绍 Remember though that
你们需要认识这种乐器 if you are interested in doing a Chinese instrument
以及它的音调 you can even change your topic for your final project
我们周五的时候还会继续 and I'd be glad to talk to you about that.
要记住 Or email me about it
如果你对研究中国乐器感兴趣 if you have an interest in doing that.
你可以改变自己最后项目的主题 We continue now with some live music performance
我会愿意和你谈一谈 by two professors from Qingdao University
或者收邮件 who have done some collaborations with us here
如果你感兴趣的话 at Missouri State.
接下来 我们会欣赏 Meng Lai is a dizi player and a teacher
来自青岛大学的两位教授的表演 at Qingdao University.
他们在密苏里州 Sun Li is a guzheng player and teacher.
和我们有合作 And you will see both of those instruments played here
孟籁(音译)是笛子演奏家和青岛大学的 in the segments which follow.
老师 Please enjoy these performances.
孙丽(音译)是古筝演奏家和老师 Music
你们会在下一节看到这两位演奏家的 The next segment that you're going to see is
表演 a recording of a group of 24 pipa players,
请欣赏 young girls from the ages of 6 through 10
音乐 that I had the opportunity to record in Qingdao.
下一节你们将会看到 Their teacher, Xiao Shou Cheng
24位琵琶演奏者的录像 is a retired emeritus faculty member
这些小姑娘是6到10岁 from Qingdao University.
我在青岛的时候有幸记录下来 And she has this rehearsal for this ensemble
她们的老师 肖守澄(音译) on Sunday nights, 2 hours.
是青岛大学的 It's a very competitive auditioned group to get in.
退休名誉教授 There's a waiting list.
这是在为周日的演出 And you'll see the proficiency level of these players
彩排 有两个小时 as you hear them.
这个班很难进 It really indicates in many ways
有很多人都想进来 the work ethic that the Chinese students have,
当你们听的时候 particularly in the music field.
就会知道她们有多么熟练 I hope you enjoy this pipa ensemble.
这在很多方面确实说明了
中国学生的进取心
尤其是在音乐领域
希望大家喜欢这个琵琶演出
