Olympic Music "Jin Shengyu True"

Times-At the awarding ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, the winning athletes will wear the "gold inlaid jade" medal.

Yesterday, BOCOG announced the music and sports display signs of the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games award ceremony. Traditional "Jasmine" music, clear Millennium chimes and the sound of emerald chimes, these pure China musical elements were skillfully combined by the famous composer Tan Dun, which made the music of the award ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.

In previous Olympic Games, the awarding ceremony is an obvious tracer element, reminding the audience that the awarding ceremony is about to begin, and praising the athletes' fighting spirit and outstanding achievements through rich and powerful musical language. The music of the awarding ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games was composed by famous composers Tan Dun and Wang Hesheng, and it was divided into four parts: emblem music, entrance music, awarding music and exit music.

Logo music indicates that the award ceremony has started, and it will be played with the title of the award ceremony during the Olympic Games, with a duration of about 25 seconds. This piece of music "Jin Sheng Yu Zhen" is the grand effect of Tan Dun's combination of symphonic performance and the original sound of Zeng Houyi's chime unearthed in Hubei, forming a "golden jade chorus". Consistent with the medal design concept of Beijing Olympic Games.

After the winning athletes enter the stadium, play the entrance music. The entrance music is composed by Wang Hesheng, accompanied by symphonic orchestral orchestration, which has a distinct rhythm and is very infectious, giving people a cheerful and exciting feeling. In the high-profile award-winning music, Tan Dun integrated the sounds of chimes and jade chimes with the melody of jasmine. Play the last exit music when the athletes leave. Tan Dun's melody is cheerful and relaxed, which is a masterpiece of the integration of music art and sports elements.

Tan Dun said that when he was drinking tea in the Yuyuan Garden, he came across a plaque in the ancient temple, which read "Golden Sound and Jade Virtue", and the inspiration for creating the award-winning music came from this. "Golden Sound", Tan Dun thinks of the oldest chime in China-the chime of Zeng Houyi unearthed in Hubei, while "Yu Zhen" is a new set of jade chimes collected from Lingbi in Anhui and Jingzhou in Hubei.

Tan Dun realized the philosophical origin of China's harmony and balance by ringing the bell for rhyme and parallelism, hoping to show it incisively and vividly with music as the best gift to the world. "The jade chime made in 2008 and the chime made 2,400 years ago form a golden jade harmony, which is really a golden jade." Tan Dun said.

In addition, the music of sports display boards for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games was jointly created by Swedish musicians Wells and Tan Dun. Sports exhibition logo music will be played at the competition site of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, such as large-screen propaganda film before the start of the competition, athletes' entrance, competition transition and athletes' exit.
