The main content of Chinese minority theme vocal music works is to reflect the real life of Chinese minority people.They are usually adapted from minority traditional folk songs and creative works based on minority music materials.Since the founding of new China,the traditional culture of ethnic minorities has entered the public’s vision and provided a large number of excellent music elements for musicians.The creators use western composition techniques to create vocal music works with ethnic minority themes.Vocal performers also combine western bel canto vocal music techniques to show the life style of the people of ethnic minorities in China.The loud treble part is in line with the traditional impression of folk song aesthetics,The baritone singers’ interpretation of vocal music works with ethnic minority themes also has a different flavor.This article takes "Chinese baritone vocal music works with ethnic minority themes" as the research object,and uses literature methods,comparative analysis methods,and other related discipline theories to conduct research and analysis on the ethnic minority vocal music works sung by baritone singers in China.The main body of the article is divided into four chapters:The first chapter is an overview of baritone vocal music works on ethnic minorities in China,summarizing the application of baritone in Western and Chinese music,as well as the development of baritone vocal music works on ethnic minorities in China;The second chapter is lyrics analysis,which summarizes the theme,ethnic elements,and rich flavor of the lyrics in 29 works;The third chapter is melody analysis,which explores the relationship between musical forms and traditional music of various ethnic minorities by analyzing the tunes of 29 works;The fourth chapter analyzes the text of music performance,selects some works,and compares the singing versions of baritone singers with the singing versions of ethnic vocal music or bel canto tenors,thereby revealing the characteristics of baritone singing vocal music works with ethnic themes.According to the above research,we can draw the following conclusions:firstly,the baritone vocal music works of Chinese ethnic minorities are not exclusive to the baritone part,but the content and emotion of the works are suitable to be expressed through the thick and calm timbre of the baritone part;Secondly,the ethnic minority elements shown in the baritone vocal music works of Chinese ethnic minorities are mainly concentrated in the northern ethnic groups accompanied by grassland culture,such as Mongolian,Uygur and Kazak.Obviously,the broad timbre is quite consistent with the vast grassland;Finally,the combination of Chinese minority theme vocal music works and baritone has made some achievements,but we still need to constantly explore minority theme vocal music works suitable for baritone timbre,in order to carry forward China’s excellent minority culture in an all-round way.
