Since its performance in October last year, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's re-arranged new era version of "Long March Suite" has attracted much attention from the public and has also attracted the attention of brother colleges and universities in Shanghai.
Liao Changyong, president of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, once said, "Solo music is not as good as public music, and the new era version of "Long March Suite" welcomes everyone to perform." At this year's Shanghai Spring International Music Festival, this promise was fulfilled - on the day of May Fourth Youth Day, young students from Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University joined hands to perform this work, singing the voices of young people and celebrating the centenary of the founding of the party.

In the evening, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music sent 70 choirs and 98 symphony orchestras, Fudan University sent 38 choirs, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University sent 25 symphony orchestras to take the stage of the Music Opera House with a super large scale of more than 230 people. ”
"The form of cooperation between the three schools, once proposed, was quickly reached." In an interview before the performance, Liao Changyong described that such cooperation can be described as "art and science flying together", both comprehensive colleges and universities, as well as students from professional colleges and universities, which greatly enhances the co-construction of disciplines and ideological and political co-construction of both sides, "art needs scientific support, science also needs artistic stimulation, the relationship between the two is very close, and the internal is interconnected." ”
"It's not easy to be lined up like this in such a short period of time." Before the performance, Liao Changyong also deliberately went to the rehearsal site to visit the class, and also put forward some requirements, "The key is to have the spirit!" Whether the students are consistent in their hearts and mouths, they can see it from their expressions, they can hear it in their voices, and they can feel it from the rhythm. Everyone wants the perfect unity of technology and art, technically unattainable, and can make up for it from emotions, emotions and performance of works, as we often say in class, with emotions and sounds. ”
"Dean Liao Changyong is a famous singer and my idol, and I have listened to many of his art songs. During the rehearsal, he specially came to guide us how to sing to be more emotional, and I learned a lot and benefited a lot. Xie Zixuan of the Fudan University Choir said.
Strictly a doctoral student majoring in computer science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, he participated in the performance as a percussionist, "Usually I think the orchestra of Jiaotong University performed very well, and this time I cooperated with the students who followed the tone, and I knew the gap between amateur and professional." "Long March Suite Song" uses a lot of folk music, there are many special percussion instruments, we have not seen, shangyin special arrangement of teachers to guide, in just a few days, everyone has made a lot of progress. ”
Through the rehearsal of the new era version of "Long March Suite", Liao Changyong hopes that contemporary young people can understand that today's happy life is the result of so many martyrs living to the death in those years, and also hopes that young people can take over their banners and batons in the second hundred years.
"The performance reminds us not to forget the unforgettable history of the Red Army's Long March." Participating in the new era version of "Long March Suite Song", Xie Zixuan believes that this is an immersive ideological and political class, which can deeply appreciate the spirit of the Long March more than ordinary ideological and political science classes.
"I used to listen to the teacher of the political science class tell the story of the Long March, but my feelings were certainly not as strong as my own participation." During the rehearsal, many of our students at Jiaotong University took the initiative to check the history of the party to understand the stories of General Xiao Hua's lyrics and the four composers, including the changes in several versions of the "Long March Suite". Everyone has played the spirit of 'scientific research'. Strictly speaking.

At the same time, Liao Changyong also encouraged students to go out of the school. "The impact of students walking out of school is much stronger than the impact of reading books." Recently, Liao Changyong went to Yan'an to shoot the MV of the art song "One Hundred Years", and he felt a lot of emotions, "The impact of going to the field is very large, so I also hope to take the students to re-walk the Long March road and let them know how revolutionaries struggle." ”
After the "Shanghai Spring" takes the stage, the new era version of "Long March Suite" will start again, launch the Yangtze River Delta tour, "Re-walk the Long March Road" tour, and invite colleges and universities in the Yangtze River Delta region and colleges along the Long March Road to sing the "Long March Suite Song" with Shangyin.
"We will continue to lay out, Ruijin, Jinggangshan, Zunyi, Yan'an... We will all go and eventually arrive in Beijing at the end of October. Liao Changyong said that the combination of music, art and ideological and political courses is a unique model of art colleges and universities, and Shangyin is willing to share this model developed with colleges and universities across the country, "Literary and art fighters are also revolutionary fighters, and we can also contribute to the inheritance of red music and the inheritance of red ideas." ”
