Abstract

Since the centenary of Chinese art songs, more and more people have seen the charm of Chinese art songs. Tang Duoling · Farewell is one of the many ancient Chinese poetry and art songs. The poem was composed by Wu Wenying, and composed by Zhao Jiping. The sense of disappointment in one’s wandering life vividly portrays the complex emotions of holding a pen to express one’s feelings. In November 2021, I was performed the song at my master’s degree music concert, but as a performer, I was more concerned about the accuracy. On the basis of reading, combined with my experience, my focus has become increasingly focused on starting from using the Vmus.net system to understand, and interpret the methods and approaches of such songs. There are many discussions related to the singing of Chinese art songs, but most of them are discussed from the music historical materials. Being faithful to the original work is a fundamental principle, aiming to accurately reproduce the composer’s original intention as much as possible , the author focuses the research center of this article on the sheet music itself and the visualization analysis of recorded music on the Vmus.net system.The main content is the audiobooks of top singers and explore the Vmus system from the perspectives of speed force and rhythm scaling. The insights gained from visual analysis for singing practice.
