Outline the majestic Great Wall with Chinese notes
National Orchestra "The Great Wall"
The style of the song is calm and thick, with a sense of historical depth, as the opening song of the whole concert, and at the same time has the function and characteristics of the overture. The music begins with majestic war drums and low trumpets, war horses hissing, swords and swords... As the music progressed layer by layer, opening up Hongmeng, everything sprouted, and the ancient Chinese nation gradually formed. The surging notes herald hope to struggle and jump in the darkness, and the lines of the great shores of the Great Wall slowly emerge, outlining vast territories and continuing ancient civilizations.
Erhu Concerto "Great Wall Caprice"
"Great Wall Caprice" is a successful work of Liu Wenjin in the extensive and comprehensive integration of national music, and the third and fourth movements are selected for this concert.
The third movement " Sacrifice of the Faithful Soul": The music is solemn and implicit, showing people's moods when they associate "loyal bones buried everywhere in the green mountains, and heroic souls inside and outside the Great Wall" in silence, and at the same time, it is also a memorial to the sacrifices of the unknown soldiers who have sacrificed for thousands of years to defend the Chinese nation.
The fourth movement, "Distant Look": Expresses the noble feelings of the great people, and the exciting and broad music seems to have a sense of resonance between heaven and earth, leading people to a magnificent victory journey.
National Orchestra "Inside and Outside the Great Wall"
Looking at the winding view, five miles and one flint, ten miles and one pier, thirty miles and one fort, a hundred miles and a city, in the journey of history, the Great Wall has long become a symbol of order, peace and national integration. The song is integrated into folk song materials such as "Flying Kites" (Hebei), "Facing The Flower" (Northeast), "Light Blue Clouds" (Inner Mongolia), showing a magnificent picture of the fusion of diverse cultures inside and outside the Great Wall in the northern territory, and also showing the open and inclusive mind of the Chinese nation.
Instrumental Concerto "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood"
The work is based on the idea and intention of "Building Our Flesh and Blood into Our New Great Wall" in the March of the Volunteer Army. This lyric subverts the interpretation of the Great Wall for thousands of years, revolutionarily interpreting the Great Wall as a symbol of national cohesion.
The whole piece is divided into two movements, the first movement is "Great Wall Brick: Resolute Rowing Board": the composer personifies the hard brick of the Great Wall to the great Chinese people, and expresses the image of the Chinese people's perseverance and tenacity through the special playing method of the guzheng and the sound of the percussion instrument group; the second movement, "Unity of Purpose: Majestic Little Allegro and Vast Broad Board", the music adopts a labor trumpet of the crowd and a rough and simple song to express the strength of unity of purpose and unity of purpose.

Highlight the excellent cultural vitality of the Great Wall with the spirit of the times
From ancient times to the present, the Great Wall with its profound historical and cultural heritage has attracted countless literati and inkers to splash ink for it, but compared with the many musical works depicting national symbols such as the "Yellow River" and "Yangtze River", in the history of national orchestral music, there are not many classic works dedicated to praising the Great Wall and describing the Great Wall. Zhang Meng, deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, deeply interpreted the wonderful repertoire around this performance, shared the small stories in the process of creation and rehearsal, and enriched our different understandings of the spirit of the Great Wall through multi-dimensional perspectives, and stimulated our infinite imagination of the Great Wall.
