Gadamerin
In the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, there is a narrative folk song "GadaMerin" that is 50 to 60 paragraphs long. "Gada" is the name of a hero, "Merlin" is his official name, and "Gadamerin" sings the story of this hero leading the people's armed uprising.
It's a true story, it happened in 1929, and it's not too far away, but its impact is profound. In a chant of three sighs, "Gadamerin" became the spiritual hero of the Mongolian people.
Ever since composer Meng Bo sorted out the long song into four lyrics, all of China knows about the uprising hero "Gadamerin". Composers such as Xin Huguang, Wang Qiang, and Ma Youdao also used this theme to create symphonic poems, cello concertos, trombone concertos and other forms of musical works. "Gadamerin" is not only a touching story, but also a very moving melody, which is an important reason why it has been handed down in the form of music.
Mongolian folk songs can be roughly divided into two categories: "long tone" and "short tone". Long-tuned folk songs are mainly sung during grazing; short-key folk songs tend to be dance-oriented. "Gadamerin" is a short folk song.
