Send deep blessings to the party and the country with notes, and look forward to realizing the bright future of the Chinese dream with songs. The main repertoire of this concert includes red classics such as the chorus symphony Ode to the Red Flag.
Ode to the Red Flag, composed by the famous composer Lv Qiming, has become one of the music works with the highest performance rate and the most media play times in China so far since it was first performed on the stage of 1965, and it has become a classic melody familiar to Chinese people, and is known as "Ode to the Red Flag of the People".
This work is full of the composer's enthusiasm and affection for the Party, and has found a meeting point of spiritual resonance with hundreds of millions of people in China, which has triggered a long-term resonance across time and space. On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Party, 90-year-old Lu Lao won the "July 1st Medal", which is the highest praise for this "people's musician" who insisted on praising the Party, the motherland and the working people all his life.
The Creation Background of Ode to the Red Flag
1965, in order to hold the "Shanghai Spring International Music Festival", Shanghai began to solicit public performances. At that time, when the organizers selected the primary programs submitted by various units, they thought that the number of main melody works was not enough and the quality was not high. So, He Lvting, Ding Shande, Meng Bo, Huang Yijun and other musicians gave the creative task to Lv Qiming. In order to write this song well, Lv Qiming thought for a week, trying to find a breakthrough point to express the theme of Red Flag.
In the process of conception and creation, the father who died heroically after being arrested and imprisoned, the martyr who made generous contributions wave after wave, and the five-star red flag raised in founding ceremony, Ran Ran, came into Lv Qiming's mind like a movie screen. Finally, he finished the first draft of this song. In the process of creation, Lv Qiming thinks that the appreciation habits of ordinary people in China should be respected, so he pays attention to the expression of melody.
