1. Sentence Pattern of Lyrics
The basic unit of lyrics structure - sentence pattern, has various expressions. Its basic style is seven-character sentence and five-character sentence, which is consistent with the long history of our country. The "seven words" and "five words" in folk poetry and ancient poetry are not unrelated.
The first part of Zheng Nan's "Come to the Ends of the World" is a seven-character sentence with a 2+2+3 structure.
"The Waves of Honghu Lake" removes some padding and lining words, and is still a seven-character sentence.
The metrical poem "Qilu·The People's Liberation Army Occupies Nanjing" has a typical structure of 2 (sentence beginning) + 2 (sentence waist) + 3 (sentence end), and its number of pauses, There are specific regulations on the number of sentences, lines, rhymes, and tones.
The entire sentence of "As long as there is no resistance" is a five-character sentence with a 2+3 structure.
Except for the transition sentences in each paragraph, the lyrics of "What a Big Tree" are all five-character sentences with a 2+3 structure.
Some lyrics are a mixture of seven-character sentences and five-character sentences. For example, Wu Dawei and Wei Guogui's "The Red Star Shines on Me to Fight" is an interweaving of seven-character sentences (2+2+3 structure) and five-character sentences (2+3 structure); while Lin Ruwei's "Reorganizing the Mountains and Rivers" "Afterlife" is a five-character sentence (structure of 2+3) and a seven-character sentence (structure of 2+2+3) facing each other. In addition, there are some other expressions of sentence patterns, mostly variations of five-character sentences and seven-character sentences. For example, the first part of Lin Zhong's "It's really a joy to die" is a six-character sentence; the first part of Ye Xin's "An Unforgettable Song" is an eight-character sentence; Jin Fan's "How Happy We Are" is a nine-character sentence; Kai Chuan's " The first part of "The Flowing Clouds in the High Sky" is composed of cross sentences and so on. There is also a type of sentence called "duo sentence", which is a style in which strings of words or clauses composed of different numbers of words are inserted into the sentence based on the basic format. For example, at the end of Guang Zheng's "My Passionately Loved Hometown", "I will use my true feelings and sweat to turn you into a place where the land is fertile and the water is beautiful, and the land is fertile and the water is beautiful." At the end of Qiao Yu's "Love Me China," "Love "I am Chinese, brothers and sisters of the fifty-six ethnic groups, the languages ??of the fifty-six ethnic groups are combined into one sentence; Love me, China!" all appear "duo lines". The composer uses duo lines in a timely manner to create fiery and active emotions and push the song forward. Towards climax. Supplement from the respondent 2009-07-06 12:57 2. The paragraph format of the lyrics
After long-term artistic practice, with the tacit understanding of the lyrics and composers, the lyrics formed a one-paragraph and two-paragraph format. , three-stage and multi-stage are the main basic segment types. The different internal structure of the lyrics and the number of sentences in the paragraphs, of course, also bring different rhythms.
1. One-paragraph style
A paragraph style with only one lyrics. There are often different categories of lyrics in single verses and verses in verses. In stanza-type lyrics, since multiple sections of lyrics often use the same melody, it is important to pay attention to the unity of emotion in each section of lyrics, and the correspondence of sentence patterns and vocabulary. This is a section pattern commonly used in lyrics with highly concentrated content and relatively single emotions. The lyrics of some short and concise mass songs and children's songs, such as Tian Han's "March of the Volunteers" and Ma Fuyao's "Battle Hymn of the Chinese People's Volunteers" are a single section; Yan Su's "Embroidered Red Flag", Qiao Yu's "People's Talk" "Shanxi's Beautiful Scenery" is a section style.
2. Two-paragraph style
A paragraph style composed of two lyric paragraphs with obviously different emotions. Often they are manifestations of different aspects of the same content. Among them, there are two categories: simple two-part form and main and chorus two-part form.
For example: "Today is your birthday" is a simple two-part form.
Jie Fu's "We Walk on the Road" is a two-part lyric with a main and a chorus.
3. Three-paragraph style
A paragraph style composed of three lyric paragraphs. It is developed from two stages. This type of paragraph can have two different expressions:
1. Paragraphs 1 and 3 are the same or basically the same paragraphs. The middle paragraph forms a clear contrast with the two ends. This type of paragraph can be marked as ABA[1]; such as "On the Land of China".
Second, paragraphs 1 and 3 are not the same or basically the same paragraphs. The third paragraph is a higher-level logical development based on the first and second paragraphs. The middle paragraph still forms an obvious connection with the two ends. For comparison, this segment can be labeled ABC.
For example: "Ode to Beijing"
4. Multi-paragraph style
A paragraph style composed of more than three lyric paragraphs. Its performance is diverse.
For example: "Graduation Song"
Four different emotional passages (ABCD), each with a higher heat wave than the last, are all emotional reflections of "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."
For example: "Carrying Tea Leaves to Beijing"
The four cordial and simple paragraphs blend the tea growers' reverence and love for Chairman Mao, providing the composer with The basis for the variation form using the structure AA1A2A3.
For example: "Qomolangma"
In the lyrics, the author uses Qomolangma, the symbol of the soul of the holy law, as the main sentence, which appears three times at intervals, with two different contrasting parts inserted in the middle. It makes the work appear rondo and provides the composer with the basis for writing the rondo form of ABACA structure.
Of course, there are other forms of lyrics and paragraphs. This is due to the needs of different content expressions and the different genres and scales of the works.
Examples include Song Xiaoming's "You Are Such a Person", Zheng Nan's "I Love Wuzhishan, I Love Wanquan River", Qiao Yu's "Ode to the Motherland", Guang Weiran's "Yellow River Cantata", Xiao Hua's "The Long March" Group Song" etc.
