【古琴Guqin】《虚籁Empty voice》李沾

《虚籁》是刘天华先生于1929年创作，又名《今夕》、《长夜吟》。虚-是空虚或虚无的意思，籁-泛指为声音，合起来理解即为‘虚空之音’。

此曲除了琵琶传统技法以外，还借鉴了古琴的绰、注，并吸收了大鼓、三弦拉戏等民间音乐元素进行创作，是一首很有特点的当代琵琶作品。记得吴蛮老师曾说好听的曲子很多，但是虚籁这种内涵丰富、有深度的曲子不常见。

会觉得是两种东西在交融、切换、对话，一种是‘天上的声音’（虚无缥缈的、古琴式的）和‘人间的声音’（热闹喧嚣的、民间音乐的、三弦、大鼓式的旋律语言），这两种截然不同的音乐形象奇妙的融合在一起，走走停停，流畅处纵横歌舞，停顿处散板到忘记时间😂，真是有趣，关键是还不突兀。

改编移植的过程还是比较顺的，相比之前改的一些曲子，这首我觉得挺贴合，可能因为原本就有很多古琴的语言，先写这么多了，回头公众号里再看看能不能憋出点话😆。这次录制当作第一版，日后继续完善。欢迎同好留言建议（拱手


房公昔漂泊，置酒此鸣琴。
人事有忧乐，山光无古今。
风流俱寂寞，结构尚萧森。
松竹含虚籁，犹疑弦上音。
——宋代  司马光

"Sound of Emptiness" was created by Mr. Liu Tianhua in 1929, also known as "This evening" and "Long Night Singing". Vacuity - is the meaning of emptiness or nothingness, sound - generally refers to the sound, together understood as' void voice '.

In addition to the traditional pipa techniques, this song also draws on the melody and notes of the guqin, and absorbs folk music elements such as drum and three-stringed opera to create, which is a very characteristic contemporary pipa work. I remember that teacher Wu Man once said that there are many good songs, but the music with rich connotation and depth is not common.

It will feel that two things are blending, switching, and talking, one is the "heavenly voice" (ethereal, guqin style) and the "human voice" (noisy, folk music, three strings, drum style melody language), these two completely different musical images are wonderfully integrated together, stop and go, smooth and dance. The pauses that scatter to the point where you lose track of time 😂 are funny, but not obtrusive.

The process of adaptation and transplantation is relatively smooth, compared with some previous changes, I think this song is quite fit, maybe because there are many guqin languages originally, this recording is the first version, and I will continue to improve it in the future. Welcome to leave comments and suggestions


Fang Gong once drifted, set wine this song.
There is sorrow and joy in personnel, and there is no mountain light.
The wind is lonely, the structure is still bleak.
Pines and bamboos contain sound, hesitant string sound.
-- Sima Guang in Song Dynasty
