"White clouds float in the blue sky, horses run under the white clouds, waving the whip and ringing in all directions, hundreds of birds fly together. If someone comes to ask me what place this is, I'll tell him proudly that this is my hometown." The song "The Sun Rises on the Grassland" was composed by the Mongolian composer Meiliqiqi in 1952 at the end of his studies at the Central Conservatory of Music. The melodious melody of this song has been sung for several generations. When you hear this song, blue sky, white clouds, grassland, and steeds will come to your mind, which is beautiful. Please enjoy the national song "The Sun Never Sets on the Grassland". The Internationale is an immortal battle song of the proletariat. The song is in line, in the key of B-flat major, in 4/4 beat. There is only one melody running through the beginning and end of the song, as well as the generic three-part lyrics. The version chosen here is an adaptation for winds. After the mournful prelude, the deep first theme enters with its head high, showing the indomitable spirit of the revolutionary volunteers; the melody in the middle section of the piece actually changes to the genitive key (i.e., F major) in terms of tonality, which is always solemn and majestic, with more and more light and hope permeating the tune; finally, the prelude of the piece is reproduced naturally, ending in a majestic and loud atmosphere. The climax of the song is in the last line of the chorus, which is the theme of the whole song, and also the line that all translations around the world follow exactly in the phonetic translation: "Intena Shonaier will surely be realized." Enjoy the Internationale, then! With this immortal battle cry of the proletariat, we have come to the end of this program. Thank you all for coming here. Goodbye!

Lower large bells, with harmonies to set the mood, musicians and dancers 9 people, each in their own way.

The opening ceremony of the concert: the curtain call in English and Chinese.

Since ancient times, China has a five-tone saying, the ancient musical instruments are mostly five-tone standard, but Zenghouyi chimes can be across the 7-tone scale, 5 octaves, 12 semitones, can be skillfully used to spin the Palace of the expression of modulation, only less than the average of the two ends of the range of modern pianos, each one octave, the center of the range part of the range accounts for about three octaves within the scope of the 12 semitones are available, which proves that: this set of bells is the world's first 12 semitones. This proves that this set of chimes is the earliest musical instrument in the world to have 12 semitone scales, and the basic backbone of its entire range is the scale structure of 5, 6 and even 7 tones. The ingenious thing is that the chimes have "one bell and two tones", in the drum part of the chimes, there is one positive drum tone and one side drum tone, 3 degrees apart. Ancient music everyone, in each piece of chimes are engraved with oracle bone music law inscriptions, to show the identification, to support its handmade musical instruments, rare treasures also ~ ~ God!

Symphony of chimes: opulent.

Chimes sound, according to Zeng Houyi tomb excavated when restoration made from different lengths of nine painted beams, six bronze sword warrior columns and six round columns, beams are carved at both ends of the dragon and phoenix, to the petal pattern of the copper sleeve reinforcement, bronze chimes a full set of the total weight of more than 5 tons, plus chimes and copper columns of nearly 4 tons of copper, the two total copper up to 9 tons, it is a huge symphony orchestra of ancient China's Imperial Palace! It's like a lifetime ago, I have been dreaming back to the Warring States period, for the huge momentum of the ancient court music, spectacular scenes, five bodies, worship, such as drunkenness.

Chime zheng ensemble: the sound of gold and stone.

The first song "Li Sao". The whole scene is solemn, solemn and heavy, the music played Qu Yuan's sad and majestic heart, I sigh for Qu Yuan's unrewarded ambition. In the end of the music, a beautiful musician holding a colorful stick slammed the lower bell several times, the roaring sound, deafening! It is Bai Juyi "Pipa Xing": "the end of the song to collect the dial when the heart of the painting, four strings, such as cracked silk" of the mood, confused, I saw Qu Yuan staggered wading into the river, with the water west. The first thing I want to do is to get the best out of the world, and I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it.

The flute and psalm: like a complaint, like a cry, like a tidal wave of grief.

The second song, "The Great Ceremony". The sound of the zheng serpent, the Chu woman played, cheerful notes, mercury fine flow, dazzling and up, imitation back to the Chu Suizhou homeland area, the people in the water side, hard work, sunrise, sunset, birds return to their nests, smoke curls, home away from home, I heard the sound of hard work of the farming family, live in peace and happiness and joy.

The third song "Mourning Ying". Ocarina solo. Ocarina, shaped like an olive, pottery single hole, closed mouth blowing instrument. Its tone is deep, sad, mournful, and continuous, with unique musical qualities. My humble servant from the Chu dress musician playing, tasting a sacred, secretive, elegant and noble spiritual temperament. The book of music once said: "Ocarina for the instrument, the sound of autumn." The ocarina is made of water and fire, and the sound is made of water and fire. Ancient people described the sound of ocarina as the sound of autumn, which makes us experience a hazy and mesmerizing picture: autumn is golden, calm and thought-provoking! Time passes, faint sadness and sentimentality, but the reality of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and make people add a few points of sadness. This is the sound of the ocarina, the sound of autumn! The first time I saw the ocarina, I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky, and then I saw it in the sky. The ocarina is not a musical instrument that is generally used to play, the ocarina is a contemplative musical instrument, a nostalgic musical instrument. The first is a new, old-fashioned, and modernized version of the original, but it's also a new, old-fashioned, and modernized version of the original. Long-sleeved dance, the beauty of opulence, mirage-like appear in my mind, Chu with the state of the court of the fine waisted people, light veil filled, fragrant wind whisking dance, beautiful eyes look forward to, waves of light, the minister of its next, delicacies to the marquee, cups of light, on the ancient and modern, at the moment the king is on the top of its majesty, the world, the majesty of the peaceful, the great ancient country, song and dance, the wonderful heavenly palace, reproduced on earth! That is a sacred temple power in the call, is the orchestral symphonic movement of the chimes of the magnificent soul.

The fifth song "Ode to Joy". Is Beethoven's ninth symphony. Ancient for modern, foreign for Chinese, Ode to Joy, in the chimes and the heart of that wonderful moment of impact, will be in our memories and life on the 2400 years, a long, long time. The effort, finally forcing my daughter to escape from school to catch this ancient concert, I squinted and scrutinized the usual love of mischief play abuse of the little daughter, it was an anomaly, serious and quiet, the joy of the song after, quietly asked me: Dad, so much chimes, why can be the same as the piano, ah?

Shadow dance with: ripples pan shadow, ancient and modern long ~ ~

Chimes is the country's most important weapon, the chimes symphony, sound columns full of accurate, audio, sound law complete, wide range, timbre Qingmei, as far as "Chinese dictionary" all the words in the book can not be described compared to that kind of soul stirring the ultimate charm! I breathed y in the concert hall a heavy condensed beauty of the air, the heart of the beauty of the sudden birth, heavenly music, has been pouring out all, majestic Kunlun, no one before, no one after!

Zenghou Yi chimes concert, I listened to an unparalleled millennium, my heart was the music of the ancient civilization fell in love with the moment, I closed my eyes, I just want to go back to that warbler song and dance, drums and horns, graceful imperial court of the history of the lords and emperors forever.
