Occasional classics in Ginza
It is a small concert hall in Ginza, Tokyo, and a little stylish concert is held every November.
There are two performers. It is a sister-brother duo of Chihiro Inda (violinist) and Yosuke Inda (cellist).
The program is a bit unusual.
Every time, there are many songs that you see for the first time.
There are very few familiar songs that everyone has heard at least once.
But this is what makes it so interesting.
In this concert, you can play a duet of violin and cello, and you can dig out hidden masterpieces from all over the world.
They will introduce you to me.
In the beginning, I still heard Handel’s passacaglia, arrangements of famous operas,
There were familiar songs in it, but it gradually became maniac, and this year,
Finally, I didn’t know a single song!
But all the songs were very satisfying to my liking.
If you think that only one song contains a Boccherini song, it is actually the work of another person, and it is a famous musician.
I just borrowed the name.
There was a joking explanation from the performer about this, and at the end of the encore, “really” Boccherini
They played the pieces they made (laughs).
Classical songs have beautiful melodies and are approachable, but modern songs (classics composed in modern times
Music) is difficult to understand and difficult to listen to, and in addition, it is difficult for ordinary people to play, and the word “mystery”
It floats.
However, this sister-brother duo actively picks up such songs and uses their outstanding technique,
It solves mysteries vividly.
He opens a box that we can’t open and shows us that there was something like this in it.
At first, I was just surprised, but recently, I was hooked on the fun of the novel and intense rhythm.
It feels like a classic familiar song is not jammed.
After all, the recording data is all not available, so you can listen to what can only be heard here.
It is a big attraction.
Well, I can’t wait to see what kind of songs will appear next year.
At first glance, the violin and cello seem to be simple instruments because they have only four strings, but they emanate from them.
The sound is very complicated.
By vibrating the strings finely, apart from the “base tone” actually played, various sounds in the higher range are created.
It will climb up and appear. This is called “overtones”.
Even if you play just one note with a bow, the “base tone” and “overtone” are harmonized, and it is rich and beautiful.
The timbre resonates.
It’s the best part of stringed instruments.
For example, the piano is an instrument that begins to attenuate from the moment it makes a sound, so the sound that reaches the human ear is
Centralize.
On the other hand, the sound of the violin and cello persists while the bow is drawn, so the volume is increased after pronounced.
The resulting “overtones” also resonate while changing in a more complex way.
It’s like a perfume made by mixing dozens of flavors.
Top notes, middle notes, last notes, and aromas change slowly.
When “sound” is released into space, it contains complex tones and floats around it, like a phantom in a few seconds.
It fades away.
If you listen to it in an environment where acoustics are calculated, such as a concert hall, you can see off the fading sound with even more lingering sound.
You can.
“Overtones” also appear in a person’s voice.
In medieval European churches, when chants were sung, a high voice that should not have been heard was often heard.
There is a record that it was asked, but it is thought that this was probably an “overtone”.
However, at that time, “overtones” had not yet been scientifically elucidated, so people called it “the voice of an angel”.
It is a story that he was talking about mysteriously.
Even if you don’t sing, for example, at an event venue, the voice of the broadcast in the hall resonates comfortably in your ears.
That would also be the effect of overtones.
If you have a voice with many overtones, it may be a good deal.
Just the voice, the first impression is great.
