Chapter 174 Coloratura
Luo Quan explained calmly: "I didn't mean to contradict you, I just stated a fact. When my name was called just now, I just stood up. Everything that happened next was not controlled by my subjective consciousness at all. , You can’t say that because I’m so famous and my classmates are discussing me, you can put the fault on me, right?”
After all, Luo Quan also applied for the popular music major. Popular music professor Shang Deyuan also spoke out to be a peacemaker at this time: "Teacher Wu is also trying to maintain the order of the examination room. She is famous for being sharp-tongued and tofu in the academy. The heart, from the beginning, treats things rather than people.
And Luo Quan is absolutely not wrong about this matter. It can only be said that this is a problem that star students will definitely encounter when they come to study with us. It is nothing more than strengthening the management of school rules and disciplines in the future. "
Although they were both professors, Professor Wu's face did not look better because of Professor Shang's words.
Luo Quan looked at the tag on her chest, Professor Wu Fang, a bel canto major, no wonder......
She had heard before that there was always a chain of contempt in the music industry. Those who played classical music looked down on those who played jazz, those who played jazz looked down on those who played rock, and those who played rock looked down on those who played rock.
Bel canto can be distinguished from classical music, and pop music is included in the category of popular music. It is very natural for Professor Wu to have a sense of superiority when facing her.
Even many students who sing bel canto have a sense of superiority when facing students who study popular music. This is the case with the boy who just commented on Luo Quan, and the major he applied for is piano performance, which can be regarded as being at the top of the contempt chain. .
It is said that a person who does not know but is stunned is not a gentleman. Unfortunately, Luo Quan can no longer be a gentleman, so he does not intend to just swallow his anger.
"Dean, there are no requirements for song selection during the art exam, right?" Luo Quan smiled like a flower. Seeing such a face that is more beautiful than a peach blossom, even the old-fashioned old stubborn was intoxicated by the spring breeze.
Dean Zheng nodded: "Bel canto, popular, and ethnic are all fine."
"Then I'll sing bel canto."
After Luo Quan finished speaking, there was an uproar on and off the stage.
Luo Quan sings pop music, and most of the candidates in the audience know this.
Luo Quan sings pop music very well, and the candidates in the audience also know this.
But pop music and bel canto are completely different concepts. If you sing well in bel canto, your pop singing will definitely not be bad, but if you sing well in pop music, singing bel canto may not sound good.
After all, no matter what the chain of disdain is, it is an indisputable fact that the entry threshold for bel canto is higher than that of pop music. Before Luo Quan, there was no news about her ability to sing bel canto.
Now that she says she wants to sing bel canto, normal people's first reaction is that she is angry.
After all, Xiao Xiao is a very popular star. After receiving such a scolding for no reason, he is young and energetic, so he will definitely do some drastic things.
Besides, my school is the University of Tokyo, so I have the capital to joke about the art exam. After all, when exchange students take the art exam, they usually go through the motions. If she chooses to apply for the acting department, she won't have so many things to do, and she will go on stage. One stop is one hundred points.
Although Dean Zheng was surprised, he did not refuse Luo Quan's request. He just asked, "Which song do you want to sing?"
"The Magic Flute - the flame of revenge burns in my heart." Luo Quan spoke in pure German, and most of the candidates in the audience did not understand it.
The examiners' expressions changed and they looked at each other in confusion.
"The Magic Flute" is one of the four most outstanding musicals by the great musician Mozart, and "The Flame of Revenge Burns in My Heart" is an excerpt from it, also called the "Queen of the Night Aria".
Because this excerpt requires a coloratura soprano to complete, and is extremely difficult, it is a aria used to show off one's skills, so it has always been called the touchstone of coloratura soprano.
Most music students and bel canto graduates dare not touch it, because it requires very high innate conditions of the singer, and if the body function is slightly worse, the singing will be very unpleasant.
Not only is talent required, but also the technical requirements are very high. Even the most experienced coloratura sopranos in China may not be able to perform it perfectly.
As a professor of bel canto at Shangyi, Wu Fang is still quite good. She can sing this section, and she can be ranked relatively high in the country, but compared with those foreign greats, the gap is obvious.
So when she heard that Luo Quan was going to sing "Aria of the Queen of Night", her first reaction was to laugh.
The few students in the audience who reacted were talking in low voices and laughing.
"This is just a suicide attempt. At her age, I have never seen anyone who can sing the Queen of the Night aria clearly. It would be nice if she could read the lyrics clearly and pronounce them accurately." The boy who just commented on Luo Quan now had his hands in his hands. Hold your chest and speak with certainty.
A fan of Luo Quan next to him said: "I can't be too sure. Luo Quan's singing skills are still very good. He is very stable on the spot. His voice is also in good condition, and the treble quality is very full."
"Are pop music and coloratura soprano the same thing?" The boy chuckled and said very firmly: "If she sings really well and doesn't break her voice, I'll rip off my head!"
The flag was established. Although this flag was a bit cruel, everyone basically felt that it was impossible to achieve it.
Because the song Luo Quan wants to sing is too difficult, and it cannot be mastered by a girl of her age, not even a genius!
Of course Luo Quan is not a genius, but she is better than a genius because she is a cheater.
How could she, who never did anything uncertain, embarrass herself in public?
When she completed the task, she drew a star-binding card that was valid for one day, and the bound character was the famous coloratura soprano singer in her previous life: Diana Damrao.
Although her treble is not the best among all the Queen of the Night aria singers in the past, it is definitely more than enough to cope with the exam.
Although her voice is not comparable to those of sopranos who have undergone long-term and scientific training, her innate conditions cannot be matched.
With her expertise in the iron lung, she doesn't have to worry about breath problems at all. As for the high notes, the highest note in the Queen of the Night's aria is only f3, which is not too difficult for her now.
After using the character binding card, she also temporarily mastered Diana Damrao's soprano singing skills.
All the difficulties have been solved. Do you think there is anything else Luo Quan dares not sing?
There is no accompaniment, no microphone, everything is the most simple and pure human voice. When Luo Quan's singing voice sang in the empty examination room, everyone's expressions changed.
(Ps. Take it together with BV1qx41117ed for better effect.)
Luo Quan's singing voice is as clear and crisp as an oriole's voice, and the high notes are round and silky, like the sound of a clear spring, without any sharp feeling.
And every turn of voice is smooth and natural, without any artificiality.
The most important thing is that her timbre is very stable from beginning to end, and the volume of each breath change is so small that it is almost inaudible. This breath control can kill the previous type of candidates in an instant.
The most shocking thing is her long vibrato at the end. Luo Quan effortlessly maintained the original key of the song, and the quality was simply perfect.
After singing the song, Luo Quan didn't even blush or breath. He just bowed to the examiners.
After a brief silence, the entire examination room burst into thunderous applause!
