On the train from Boston to Washington, Li Mu was in a good mood, and began to hum a little song from the time he got on the train.
Li Mu's hobbies are a bit miscellaneous, and the songs he hums are also eclectic, from toasting songs to friendship for a long time, and then from Katyusha to Ah, goodbye friends, Li Mu hummed almost all the songs he knew.
With smokeless gunpowder, Li Mu's pocket was about to bulge, so it was rare to be generous and chartered a box to go to Washington.
The box in this year is still a bit small, but compared with the ordinary car, Li Mu and his party of seven people must be much more relaxed.
In addition to Yan Shun and Mason, Li Mu also brought a craftsman named Cheng Husheng, who was responsible for engraving his name on the pistol.
In addition to the two craft pistols whose names have been engraved, Li Mu also prepared more than a dozen silver-plated pistols without engraved names, ready to give to those who have a relationship value.
When Li Mu was humming, Chu Xue was sitting opposite Li Mu, embroidering the abbreviation of "Lim" on a white cotton pocket towel, which was prepared for Li Mu when he wore formal clothes, it was originally just an ornament, and there was no need to embroider Li Mu's name.
However, in Chu Xue's opinion, everything Li Mu uses should be refined, anyway, there is nothing to do on the train, and Li Mu is at the mercy of Chu Xue.
Obviously, Chu Xue likes this way of getting along very much, in order to make Li Mu sit more comfortable, Chu Xue even lifted Li Mu's leg and put it on her own lap, which made Li Mu, who posed as "Massachusetts paralysis", look like a bohemian playboy, which attracted Gloria and Sandy sitting next to him to roll their eyes frequently.
However, the number of white eyes is getting less and less, it is really a little quiet in the box, not as crowded as ordinary carriages, Yan Shun and Mason in order to avoid suspicion, one carriage connection sits far away from Li Mu and the three girls, so Li Mu's humming voice is a bit loud in this relatively quiet space.
The toast song was born in China in the 80s of the 20th century, and although the friendship lasted forever in Scotland, it was not until 1940 when the American movie Soul Broken Blue Bridge came out that the song spread all over the world as a theme song; Katyusha was born in the Soviet Union, ah, goodbye friends is an Italian song, songs that were not supposed to appear until decades later, neither Gloria nor Sandy had heard What can impress girls is undeniable that for some girls it is money, but for almost all girls, talent cannot be ignored, and many well-educated girls can resist the temptation of money, but not talent.
"Are these the folk songs you are humming from your Qing Kingdom," Gloria finally couldn't help but lean.
"It's so good" Sandy is even more excited, although she doesn't use flowery words to describe it, but the emotions contained are just as strong.
"No, just hum."
Li Mu, who has already plagiarized a lot of "inventions", is embarrassed to continue plagiarizing culture, and Li Mu has no intention of going to Broadway to be a singer.
"But I haven't heard of it," Gloria didn't believe.
"It's not a song from Qingguo, and I haven't heard it either."
The first snow can testify.
"You sing this again," Gloria said, humming two Katyusha melodies.
I really can't see that Gloria actually has a bit of musical talent, just listening to it once, she actually hummed eight or nine without leaving ten, which made Li Mu amazed.
"Sing it only once" Li Mu was in a good mood, did not refuse Gloria's request, deduced the lyrics of Katyusha in his heart, and then began Katyusha's first interpretation in this world in English.
In 1939, the Battle of Nomenkan took place, which coincided with the early summer season in the Hunchun region, and the Soviet poet Isakovsky got inspiration from it and wrote the poem Katyusha, and the famous Soviet composer Brontel saw the poem and immediately composed it into a song, and then the Katyusha song spread throughout the Soviet Union at an incredible speed.
It should be said that before the twentieth century, the common form of song was country slang, or a gorgeous stage play on the Broadway stage, and love and war were the main themes of the songs, but the songs that combined love and war were pitiful, and the combination was so perfect that it almost never appeared.
Katyusha's song blends beautiful music with the cruel war, linking the girl's thoughts with the soldiers' heroic service to the country, and the girl's innocent singing voice makes the soldiers who hold cold weapons and lie in the cold trenches ready to fight the enemy to the death, in the difficult smoke and loneliness, their hearts get the warmth and comfort of love and love.
The power of this song is so great that after the war, the Soviet authorities in recognition of the great inspiration played by the Katyusha in the war, a memorial hall was built especially for the Katyusha, which should be the first in the history of human war and music.
Although Katyusha is a Soviet song in the traditional sense, the charm of music knows no borders, there are many Russians in the United States, and as a country of immigrants, this makes American culture also strong inclusive, and the United States is in the stage of the Civil War shortly after the end, so songs like Katyusha are really attractive Just as every boy has a soldier's dream in his heart, every girl has a heroic dream in his heart, and all girls will fantasize: My crush is a hero of the world, and one day he will wear a golden armor and step on colorful auspicious clouds to marry me The melody of the Katyusha is a single two-part form without repetition, although the structure is short and almost simple, but the melody is graceful and simple, the feelings contained in the lyrics are simple, and the melody of the five lyrics is basically the same, and it can be repeated back and forth forever if you wish.
The simple structure and beautiful melody make Katyusha have incredible vitality, when Li Mu sang to the last paragraph, Gloria and Sandy were already able to follow Li Mu's rhythm, although Chu Xue did not sing along, but the worship in his eyes made Li Mu feel more satisfied.
"Perfect tune" Gloria closed her eyes and savored the melody for a moment, then opened her luggage, took out her shorthand book and began to score.
"Gloria, you're still going to do this," Li Mu was taken aback.
Gloria didn't bother to answer, her mind was on the shorthand book in front of her.
Sandy was honored and looked at Gloria with pride: "Of course, Wellesley College has a music program, and Gloria is the main force of Wellesley College's drama club, and she has always played the heroine." heroine This term is really full of lofty
