Where is "Rain Beats Banana"?

Rain Beats Banana is a representative work of Guangdong music.

In the early days of liberation, when the national folk music and dance concert was performed, the Guangdong delegation added flutes and chimes to the band. In the early 1960s, the Korean side adapted it by means of multi-voice and orchestration, which made it more beautiful.

After the downfall of the Gang of Four, it was only after the rain hit the banana that the name was cleared. In the early 1950s, during the national folk music and dance performance, the Guangdong delegation played "Rain Beats Banana", which was more enthusiastic and full of vitality because of the addition of flute and chime. Later, it was adapted many times, with multiple voices, and some new composition techniques were adopted to make the timbre more exciting and interesting.

Then it was written by Pan Yongzheng. According to Chen's solution, the music content is: "an ancient Guangdong song, which describes the rain beating banana in early summer. The south is very interesting."

The music material comes from the variation of Eight Plates. By slowing down variations, such as adding flowers, using cadence, continuous comparison and the short break of melody phrases, the image is vivid and the music is beautiful and moving.

At the beginning of music, the smooth and lively melody shows people's joy. Then the sentences are short and slow, and the arranged phrases urge each other. The music is short and staccato, and the rain beats the banana, pattering and swaying, which embodies the fresh, smooth and lively style of Guangdong music.
