The Story Behind The Curtain Of The Centennial Anniversary Of The Founding Of The Communist Party Of China

? ? ? On the evening of June 28, the symphony concert of Guangdong Province to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China with the theme of "never forget the original heart, forge ahead" was successfully concluded in Guangzhou Xinghai Concert Hall. Yu Long, the conductor and music director of Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra, is the director of Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra. He works with a number of well-known musicians and young students.

Among them, the well-known pop music youth, as one of the repertoires, was re adapted and performed by the chorus of South China Normal University (hereinafter referred to as "Huashi chorus") and the chorus of Guangdong Experimental Middle School (hereinafter referred to as "provincial chorus"), which set off a small climax in the evening of the concert. Recently, the 21st century business reporter interviewed the lyrics writers and young students who participated in the performance of the adapted version of youth to listen to their stories behind their songs.

Song lyrics rewriting reflects a century's journey

"I'm still the same boy I used to be, and my original mind has never changed. A hundred years is just a test, and the goal of a better life has been achieved. Young people in this century, the mission is always at ease. Say never, never give up, like a fire. "

Luo Gaocheng, a music singer of the post-80s generation from Shenzhen, is the songwriter of the adapted version of juvenile. Luo Gaocheng told the 21st century economic reporter that since most of his music is pop songs, although he has participated in the creation of some red themed songs in the past, it is the first time for him to adapt and publish pop songs with the theme of celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Therefore, when he just received the invitation to adapt, he was both happy and under pressure.

In order to complete this important task, Luo Gaocheng consulted a lot of materials before he adapted the lyrics. He combed the history of China before and after the founding of the party, and refined major historical events and hot issues in recent years. In the process, the more he understood the development of the country after the founding of the party, the more proud he was, and he also wanted to share the excitement with more people.

However, as a popular song that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, how to change it to fit the theme at the same time can also change new ideas, which is a test of its ability. Therefore, Luo Gaocheng divides the adapted lyrics into two parts: recalling the history and looking forward to the future. He skillfully uses the personification perspective to compare the centenary Communist Party of China to a teenager. He looks back on the centenary journey in the first person and looks forward to the next century. Taking time as a clue, he reflects the theme of "carrying forward the past and opening up the future and never forgetting the original intention". The lyrics of the two parts are parallel and corresponding to each other, reflecting the inheritance relationship of the party building cause from generation to generation.

According to Luo Gaocheng, in the lyrics, he also incorporated the brilliant achievements since the founding of the CPC and the achievements made by the Chinese people in the construction of the new era, such as lunar exploration and sky searching, 5g technology, etc., and tried to quote a series of familiar slogans in daily life, such as "long journey, only struggle", so as to make the songs closer to life, And then reach a broader audience.

After the adaptation of the song "Youth", it was made into a MV with pictures of major historical events after the founding of the Communist Party of China, the new development and achievements of the country, and the Chinese people's courage to fight the epidemic. It was released on the Internet on March 9 this year. Less than 20 hours after the release, the number of views and forwarding of MV exceeded 100000. Up to the press release, the number of viewing times of the MV on microblog has reached 4.64 million.

Speaking of the symphony concert celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, students from China Normal University and Sheng Shi participated in the chorus of the adapted version of "Youth" and got a good response. Luo Gaocheng said happily to the reporter of the 21st century economic report: "I feel that in the new era, young people are more and more brave to express their own voice, Our country is playing an increasingly important role in the international arena, and the whole country is becoming more and more powerful. Youth's self realization and the rapid development of our country are closely linked

Full of vigor and vitality

"I like singing, dancing, rap, basketball!"“ She is the top student in our grade, but she sings very well“ I am a soprano of children's voice. I like to sing Italian opera at ordinary times In the music classroom of Guangdong Experimental Middle School, seven chorus students who participated in the concert gathered together and enthusiastically introduced themselves to the 21st century economic reporter. Pan Yeqin, deputy conductor of the chorus of Guangdong Experimental Middle School, looked at the group of children with infinite vitality with a smile, and occasionally quietly raised the camera to take pictures of their laughter.

According to reports, the concert is the first cooperation between the Huashi chorus and the provincial chorus. There are 60 students from the junior high school of the school. They only have about two weeks to prepare from the chorus assignment to the official performance. For these 13-4-year-old children, it is not easy to give consideration to the task of performing and learning well. But these difficulties, they did not say much.

For them, the biggest challenge of the song comes from "being too familiar with the original". Students have said: "too impressed with the original song, our practice has a certain obstacle, we follow the previous habits to sing will not be able to close." Mr. Pan also said that since "Youth" is a symphony adapted from pop music, the rhythm and melody of the song need to be polished several times in rehearsal to perfectly present the temperament and timbre of a teenager.

Talking about the feelings of the adapted version of juvenile, the students expressed their different understandings from the perspective of lyrics and music arrangement. Liang Shirui said: "the original song was electronic music. Now we use symphonic chorus to perform the song. The whole song has a wide vision and sounds brilliant. It can reflect the centennial history of the Communist Party of China." Zhou Yutong said that during the rehearsal of the song "Youth", harp, percussion music and trumpet sounded, which made her recall the birth history of the Communist Party of China she had learned in the textbook, and her respect and emotion came naturally. Liang Lefan said that the adapted song made them realize the sense of mission and responsibility entrusted by the state to the future as teenagers.

Pan told reporters that in the process of preparing for the concert, teachers will integrate red education into chorus rehearsal, and relive revolutionary spirit with children by telling red stories. The concert of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China provides students with the opportunity to express their feelings with the songs of their youth, to wish the party and the motherland a gift, and to get in touch with the outstanding artists in China. This is a very valuable opportunity for the growth of these young people.

Absorb spiritual strength, practice original intention and undertake mission

Compared with the lively and lovely young people, the 101 young people from the China Normal choral ensemble have efficient and meticulous cooperation and practice in this symphony concert, and have more mature and far-reaching ideas for celebrating the centenary of the founding of the party.

Professor Su Yanhui, artistic director and choral conductor professor of the Chinese normal choral ensemble, told the 21st century economic news that the chorus was responsible for the performance of eight songs at the concert, and the chorus task required memorizing scores and a large number of repertoires, so it had to arrange in addition to the normal course time. In addition to the various daily courses, students need to spare extra time at noon or elective class time in the evening to participate in rehearsal. In addition, the chorus is divided into different parts to practice and rehearse, and the members of the chorus "hand in the homework" to their respective head of voice to ensure the rehearsal process. Xu Kunming, assistant teacher of the chorus, told reporters that when the final performance time was determined, it was only about 10 days before the official performance. This period of time was also in the final examination of the school. However, the students still insisted on the daytime examination and rehearsal in the evening, and put all their efforts into every practice under pressure.

In addition to practicing repeatedly and striving for perfection, the teachers and students of the chorus pay attention to the details of the performance, which is also moving. Mr. Su mentioned that in the classic historical song "Qilu · Long March", the pronunciation of the word "Pai" in "Jinsha water beating clouds and cliffs warm" was specially consulted by students from the College of Arts. Finally, they think that out of respect for the classic historical songs, they should inherit the artistic style of archaic chanting and poetry, and read "Pai" as po.

In the adapted version of juvenile, the chorus also flexibly changed the first soprano to a lower octave through full communication, and then performed according to the original high octave at the place where the following phrases recurred. This not only made the children's voice of the provincial real chorus more prominent, but also showed the changes of different sound quality levels from the youth to the youth, and set off a more warm atmosphere.

Because the Student chorus is on the stage throughout the concert, their performance is not only singing their own works, but also the expression management in the whole concert. "When we put on makeup before going on stage, we constantly remind them that their facial expressions should be in place when singing these works," said Su

Zhang chuchen, deputy head of the Chinese normal choral ensemble, is a student majoring in choral conducting. What impresses her most is that the teacher constantly emphasizes the need to bring out the spirit and spirit and perform the works with full enthusiasm. She said: "when singing" Youth ", the energetic singing can show the spirit of high spirited and upward, and we, as teenagers, middle school students and college students, can reflect the spirit of our times."

Affected by the family atmosphere, Zhang chuchen has become a formal party member“ My grandfather is an old Party member, and my father is also a party member, so I applied to join the party soon after I joined the University. I think this is a kind of faith. " "It's a great honor for me to participate in the activities to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China," she told reporters. From the past to the present, it is my aspiration that the Communist Party of China has led the motherland and the people to live a more and more beautiful life. As a youth in the new era, I am willing to follow the organization, shoulder the mission and continue to move forward. "
