本期节目为大家介绍内蒙古非遗文化第一期——呼麦。
It was a song from an ancient people. People sing to the mountains and forests, pray to the sky and the grasslands, and they make a heavenly sound and become one with nature. Those who herd sheep and ride horses among the blue sky and green grass sing with their souls day after day. It was these people who gave birth to this natural method of singing--From one throat, two voices protrude at the same time. Their pitches and timbres are different, and one matches the other. This melody will always exceed your expectations, and this natural sound is naked and heart-wrenching... This art, known as "guttural singing", instantly became a mysterious pyramid in the world music landscape.Hoomei was inscribed on the first list of world intangible cultural heritage in May 2006 and successfully inscribed on the list of world intangible cultural heritage in October 2009.
Definition of HoomeiThe word "Hoomei" is a transliteration of the Mongolian pronunciation and means "throat". Because this form of performance is mainly done with the throat, people call it guttural art.Hoomei, known as "Haolin Chaoer" in the folklore, is the most primitive guttural art of human beings, and the vocal technique is quite difficult. Hoomei is a difficult artistic expression in which a person expresses artistic conception by emitting multiple overtones at the same time. It can be a mellow bass that imitates mountains, waterfalls, vast grasslands or eulogies with eulogies, or a mantra storytelling performance that perfectly combines with overtones, or an overtone melody that interprets beautiful rhythms. Combined with the above characteristics, Hoomei is also known as the "peak of overtones".Because the art of Hoomei has a strong uniqueness, both the domestic music industry and the international music world have paid great attention to Hoomei. In addition, Hoomei has also a long history and is pronounced in a way that is unique in the world.
Production of Hoomei There is no specific record of the origin of Hoomei, but there are many theories about the origin of Hoomei. Mongolian believe that Hoomei was formed by their ancestors imitating the sound of waterfalls deep in the mountains and is a way to live in harmony with nature. Some people believe that Hoomei is a religious shamanism in the ancient Genghis Khan period, and the religion used a low low Hoomei to lead and recite scriptures when offering heaven and praying scriptures, which coincides with the historical background of the time. Some people also think that the ancient Mongolians because they love riding and shooting, and their character is heroic and good at fighting, so they should sing in unison to boost morale before the battle, or use the chorus to express joy when the prey is harvested abundantly, so that the way of singing in unison is more people involved, so it looks imposing, and everyone studied in the later period so that they formed Hoomei.
Type of HoomeiHoomei is pronounced in a peculiar way, which leads to its repertoire not being so rich. However, it does not mean that its performance content is not rich, on the contrary, its rich performance content vividly reflects the state of harmony between man and nature. At the same time, Hoomei also expresses people's rich inner world, which is very connotative. According to statistics, the Hoomei repertoire can be divided into three types: praising nature, singing to animals, and Mongolian admiration for the steppe and horses. Among the representative repertoire, "Ode to the Altai Mountains" celebrates nature; "Cuckoo" and "Black Walking Bear" express the love of hunting peoples for animals; "Four-Year-Old Sea Tumor Horse" embodies the Mongolian praise of the grassland. In terms of musical style, these types of Hoomei are usually short keys, and sometimes long tunes may occur.
