I hope people will always be art songs.
The concept of art songs should be embodied in two aspects before it can be called a pure art song.
First of all, the lyrics of the song must be verses written by famous writers and poets. For example, the German art songs "On the Wings of Song", "The Linden Tree" and "Hear, Hear, Skylark" were all written by literary masters Heine, Muller and Shakespeare.
Secondly, in terms of music, it is required that the tunes and poetic lyrics must have an artistic image that blends the scene with the scene. It reflects the indescribable, elegant and upward artistic realm, artistic taste and artistic ambition of the poets and composers.
An excellent Yimi song should be a perfect combination of high-level literary poetry and the appropriate use of music creation techniques to match the melody completely according to the content of the poetry.
Teresa Teng's song "Hope You Live Forever" was adapted from Su Shi's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" and was included in Teresa Teng's 1983 poetry and song album "A Touch of Love". This album is a classic from Teresa Teng's personal career at its peak, and it is also the first album that she personally participated in planning. Different from other albums, the twelve songs on this disc are all selected from Song Dynasty masterpieces, which are literary masterpieces that have been tested for thousands of years. After being paired with modern pop music, Teresa Teng sang with her innate faint feelings. When it comes out, it is elegant, solemn, gentle and sentimental, quite in the style of the Tang and Song Dynasties. It has been more than 20 years since "A Touch of Love" was released in 1983. The rolling dust of the years has not been able to cover up her beautiful brilliance. Instead, as time goes by, it has become more and more extraordinary. As one of the title songs of this album, "May You Live Longer" was extremely popular as soon as it was released. It was later covered by many singers and became one of Teresa Teng's famous songs handed down from generation to generation.
