古典新章21·秋水01·望洋向若

Creative direction on Suno

Mandarin chamber art song, piano and solo cello lead, with guqin and soft woodwinds answering phrase endings; small strings open gently in the final verse. The user's own recorded female mid-register bel-canto voice sings lyrical, even legato with clear forward consonants, restrained cadence vibrato, spacious syllabic phrasing, melodic turns at clause endings, and clear pauses. Unhurried 66 BPM 6/8; instrumental introduction, three unfolding verses, contrasting instrumental bridge, generous resolved orchestral outro, approximately four minutes. Clean centered voice in warm chamber acoustics.

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

秋水時至，百川灌河，涇流之大，兩涘渚涯之間，不辯牛馬，
於是焉，河伯欣然自喜，以天下之美，為盡在己。

[Verse 2]

順流而東行，至於北海，東面而視，不見水端，
於是焉，河伯始旋其面目，望洋向若而歎，曰：
「野語有之，曰『聞道百，以為莫己若』者，我之謂也。

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]

且夫我嘗聞少仲尼之聞而輕伯夷之義者，始吾弗信，
今我睹子之難窮也，吾非至於子之門，則殆矣！
吾長見笑於大方之家！」

[Instrumental Outro]
