Huang Zi was an outstanding Chinese composer and music educator in the early twentieth century. Today, there will be many people who do not know who Huang Zi is. However, when you hear his music, you may always remember the composer who seems to have been forgotten.
Huang Zi is an educator, composer, and theorist with patriotic and democratic feelings in the Chinese music scene in the first half of the 20th century. In the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, Huang Zi graduated from Tsinghua University, studied in the United States, entered the Yale University Conservatory of Music, specialized in theoretical composition for three years, and received a bachelor's degree in music with the highest honors. Huang Zi was also China's first composer.
Due to Huang Zi's profound achievements in traditional Chinese studies, especially the ability to comprehend the lyrics, when composing, especially the vocal rhymes, rhymes, lyrics, and song meanings, so that the combination of words and songs is seamless, perfecting the environment, and setting up a model for Chinese art songs. Later generations of composers who were completely Westernized, the Chinese songs written by them, can not be compared with them, the same day.
Huang composed a song by himself, which is so thoughtful, natural, smooth and perfect. Singers not only feel natural and comfortable in their singing skills, but also their feelings are easy to resonate; and those who appreciate it are also easy to understand and deeply moved. Huang Zi has many works such as nostalgia, homesickness, Tianlun Song, Rose Three Wishes, Farmhouse and so on.
In March 2004, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music held the "100th Anniversary of Mr. Huang Zi's Birth" commemoration activity, one of which was to record Mr. Huang Zi's music album. The Conservatory of Music hopes to have a record company to cooperate, and this cooperation plan has been transmitted to Tianyi Audio-Visual Production Co., Ltd., and after friendly consultation between the two sides, a cooperation has been reached.
In this day and age, there is not much music that can really make people feel calm and happy. Popular music is varied, some rely on selling recording effects, some sell production, and it is rare to rely on selling music. In serious music, it is almost impossible to find popular and pleasant sounds, all music without melody and no tonality, either playing with concepts or playing with sound. Popular serious music is not written (perhaps no one can write it), elegant popular music is rare to hear, and the so-called "music" of ghosts crying wolves and diseaseless moans all over the streets fills the streets and alleys and villages.
Everything you do, whether you write music or buy music, measures music with money. In this situation, it is indeed too difficult to hear a moving melody. At this time, it was a very beneficial thing to have the opportunity to listen to Mr. Huang Zi's music, and it felt like a person who escaped from the dusty bazaar and entered the forest with clear air, wandering by the stream in the forest, listening to the birdsong and the sound of water, and calming down in endless memories.
The publication of the "Forever Huang Zi" music album is not only a major event in the Chinese music industry, but also a great joy for many older generation friends, because many chinese elderly people spend their childhood in Huang Zi's music. After a few decades, when we hear this music again, we can imagine how excited these older generations will be.
"Forever Yellow Self" is by far the most representative selection of tracks, the largest performance of plastic surgery, well-recorded and beautifully produced album. During the recording process, the best Chinese musicians living at home and abroad were invited to participate in the recording, and Huang Zi music research expert was specially invited, and Mr. Dai Penghai, a famous Chinese music historian, personally served as the general artistic consultant, and the recording was served by Mr. Lu Xiaoxing, a winner of the Grammy Recording Award and the music recording engineer of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". On November 25, 2004, the cd of the music album "Forever Huang Zi" was released in Shanghai, Beijing and other places.
The music album of a generation of masters has finally been recorded, which is the nostalgia for the master, this is the soothing of the eardrums that have been complicated for a long time, this is also the shock of the heart, and this is the touch of a certain period of history. Listen to Huang Zi, feel the touch brought by the music, and feel the story and nostalgia brought by the flowing and undulating tunes.
