First
Zhou Yuguo's zhengle works
Guzheng and Blowing Music "Yue"
Composer: Zhou Yuguo
The first half of the concert is the zheng music work of teacher Zhou Yuguo. The Emerald Kites kick off with a cheerfully paced "Yue". The music is taken from the music of The Flower Drum Opera in Shangluo, Shaanxi Province. In the midst of the stirring music, the guzheng depicts a festive scene in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province, with its cheerful and jumping notes and beautiful and lyrical melody. The wonderful performance instantly ignited the audience's enthusiasm for watching.

Guzheng Music Trio "Autumn Hope"
The second song, "Autumn Hope", is a classic with a long meaning. "Chang'an Autumn Look" - The building leans on the frost tree, and there is no mirror sky. The South Mountain and the autumn color, the momentum is high. This song is taken from the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu's absolute sentence "Chang'an Autumn Hope", which skillfully combines the music of Chang'an drum music with the music of Shaanxi local opera, and deliberately tries and explores the playing techniques and expression ability of the guzheng, which is simple and elegant in style, and the artistic conception is profound and long-lasting.

Guzheng Solo "Autumn Night Thoughts"
The third piece, "Autumn Night Thoughts", is an exquisite instrumental piece. Performed by Jin Yu, an outstanding student from the Attached Middle School of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. The whole song is developed from a musical motivation, giving full play to the characteristics of the guzheng itself in timbre and rhyme, combining traditional Music of the Qin Cavity with modern playing techniques, expressing the melancholy caused by autumn and various complex mentalities when autumn nights are deep: sometimes idyllic as water, sometimes with thousands of thoughts, and more than that, it is impossible to dispatch the sorrows. The whole tune is high-pitched, full of ancient meaning but without losing its new sound.
Guzheng: Jin Yu
Guzheng and Group Zheng "Remembering Chang'an"
"Remembering Chang'an" is another classic work of Teacher Zhou. The music is a two-part structure with an introduction and an epilogue, with distinct characteristics of local music in Shaanxi, with a strong style and true emotions. The whole piece uses polyphonic music techniques throughout. The two parts of the structure present different sound levels and musical paintings on the guzheng in the form of "points" and "lines", making the music long and delicate and with long meaning.

Conductor: Weekly exhibition
The last work of the first half was the guzheng classic work "YunCao Complaint" brought by Zhou Sihan, an outstanding student of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. This song is a guzheng concerto composed by Zhou Yuguo in 2002. That night, the performers played the guzheng, piano and string band versions, conducted by Mr. Zhou Zhan.
The music is adapted and expanded on the basis of the melody of the guzheng song "Rural Rhyme" composed by Teacher Zhou Yuguo in his early years, and the piano concerto gives the work a new meaning. The song is based on Bai Juyi's poem "Long Hate Song". The title of the song is taken from the poem "Yun wants to dress and flowers to think of appearance", which describes the love story between Yang Guifei and Tang Xuanzong, which has a strong artistry in terms of cultural heritage, melodic development and skill, and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, integrating the ancient simplicity of traditional Qin Zheng zhengqu and the melodic harmony of modern zhengqu into one. In the evening, the wonderful performance of the performers made the concert reach a climax.

In the second half, the Jade Kite Troupe will perform some of the classic zheng music works of composer Wang Jianmin. "Western Caprice" was created by Wang Jianmin based on music materials from Xinjiang. Rhythm uses a characteristic compound beat and a rhythmic and varied writing. Using the five-tone language and chords of the zither, and imitating various clapping techniques such as Xinjiang percussion, the music depicts the customs and customs of the western region and the warm scenes of singing and dancing. In the evening, six handsome young men from the Jade Xuanyao Zheng Group from the Affiliated Middle School of Zhejiang Conservatory of Music brought us a piece of exotic scenery from the Western Regions.

Guzheng solo "Ballad of the Lotus"
The second song in the second half was "The Ballad of the Lotus" performed by Dong Jingyi, a graduate student majoring in guzheng at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. The works have distinct themes, unique styles and rich techniques. Through the allegro, slow board, urgent board, and wide board, a beautiful and colorful, not impatient, indomitable lotus flower picture is depicted, reflecting the noble temperament of the lotus flower "out of the mud without staining, and the clean and clear without demon". The whole work absorbs the unique musical elements and characteristics of Jiangnan opera, the melody is fresh and smooth, and it is full of rich Jiangnan life atmosphere. From the perspective of the composition technique, the structure has a mixed nature, in which the smooth musical lines have strong tension and expressiveness, and at the same time have a profound appeal.
Guzheng: Dong Jingyi
Guzheng In unison "Bloom"
Next is a new guzheng concerto by teacher Wang Jianmin, "Blooming". The land of Shenzhou, a hundred flowers are in full bloom. Rivers and mountains, splendid flowers. Youth is blooming, enthusiasm is blooming, dreams are blooming, hope is blooming... The music was commissioned by the China Conservatory of Music and dedicated to the centenary of the Communist Party of China.

Guzheng solo "Sunshine • Earth"
The last song of the concert was a guzheng solo "Sunshine and Earth" brought by Lou Lin, a graduate student majoring in guzheng at Zhejiang Conservatory of Music. The song was commissioned for the 13th Golden Bell Awards Guzheng Competition, and the performer Lou Lin also successfully entered the final of the 13th Golden Bell Awards of Chinese Music with this work. The music is divided into paragraphs such as "The sun rises in the east, the purple and red, the spring tide of the earth, the forge ahead, and the splendid splendor", which enthusiastically praises and depicts the sun shining on the earth and the flourishing scenery of Shenzhou. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, I would like to praise the centenary of the party with this song.
Guzheng: Lou Lin
This concert is the second concert in a series of concerts between the Emerald Kite Ensemble and the Famous Composers of Zheng music. The purpose of the kite troupe is to continuously learn and improve through a series of special concerts of the composer's zither works, which is not only a self-understanding and encouragement for the path of guzheng learning, but also an expression of heartfelt gratitude and high respect for the composers.
The original intention has not changed, although it is far from slacking off; the mission is on the shoulders, and the struggle is unceasing. In the concert that evening, we saw that the performers had both experienced early members of the kite troupe and a large number of young faces in the cardamom years. They are young, energetic, full of spirit and confident.
Cold and summer, the sun, moon and stars, the complete success of today's concert can not be separated from the diligent study and hard work of the emerald people, and it is inseparable from the painstaking efforts of the instructor of the kite troupe. However, if the road is obstructed and long, the line is coming; the line is not dropped, and the future can be expected.
