"Spring Sound Round Dance" is the opening song of this concert, the magnificent and elegant opening is uplifting, this is a round dance song that praises the beauty of spring, the whole melody is bright and cheerful, you can hear both chirping birds and babbling water, which reflects vitality everywhere. Listening to the "Spring Sound Round Dance" in Kunming, the spring city, is particularly appropriate; "The Round Dance of Flowers" was composed by Tchaikovsky for the famous Russian ballet "The Nutcracker", which is also a famous song full of spring. A harp solo at the beginning of the song instantly brings people into the fairy tale world of flowers, after which the violin and clarinet play the main melody, allowing the audience to imagine the dancing ballet girl, the whole music is full of innocent and childlike fun, but also reflects the love and optimism of life, let people linger; "Free Tango" is the representative work of Piazzolla, the "Father of Tango" in Argentina, the melody of the big opening, sometimes tense and sometimes soothing rhythm, let the audience feel the Argentine people's free and free, cheerful and wanton attitude to life.
This concert is full of new ideas and receives warm applause from the audience. The final return song brought surprises to everyone and pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax again. Most of the previous music repertoire was Western classical music, but when returning to the scene, the orchestra suddenly changed its style and played the well-known and popular "Shanghai Beach" and "Millennium Wait" two tracks. It is understood that these two tracks were adapted by Mr. Zeng Zheng, artistic director of the Starley Light Music Troupe and young conductor, on the basis of the original song. The adaptation is more adapted to the configuration of the orchestra and is more dynamic, which has been unanimously praised by the audience.
