This song "Ode to the Pear Blossom" is based on the "Siping Tune" of Peking Opera. It maintains the meaning of Peking Opera and the rhythm of the Mei School, while integrating modern music into it. It is catchy but does not lose the flavor of yellow skin. Mr. Mei Baojiu has been promoting this piece of music and personally sang it in the Vienna Golden Hall.

Oriental.com reported on October 29, 2019: 18 years ago, a movie "The Imperial Concubine of the Tang Dynasty" amazed the theater. 18 years later, the new version of "The Imperial Concubine of the Tang Dynasty" 》will be on the stage of Shanghai International Arts Festival again. In the past 18 years, a song "Ode to the Pear Blossom" has moved from Shanghai to major stages around the world and has been sung throughout the Chinese world. Almost everyone, young and old, can hum a few lines: "The pear blossoms bloom, the spring brings rain, the pear blossoms fall, the spring falls into the mud, this life is only for one person, how can he be a king?"

However, few people know that the composer Yang Nailin actually only spent one night writing this song "Ode to Pear Blossom". When "The Imperial Concubine of the Tang Dynasty" was created and arranged in 2001, Yang Nailin was one of the members of the songwriting team, but he was responsible for the orchestration and there was another person who composed the music. However, just as rehearsals were approaching, something unexpected happened - the composer in the original group encountered special circumstances and was unable to continue to participate in the creation.

Just when everyone was anxious, Mei Baojiu found Yang Nailin and hoped that he would compose the music: "Yang Nailin, you have to take on this task." In this way, Yang Nailin was appointed as the composer in the group. who. However, at this time, there was not much time left for Yang Nailin. It will premiere at the Shanghai International Arts Festival on November 2, and as a teacher at the Conservatory of Music, I still have many classes to attend, so I can't take leave every now and then. He had no choice but to fly from Beijing to Shanghai on weekends or holidays to work with the director team.

So, 18 years ago, on a Friday in August, Yang Nailin came to Shanghai and pondered over the lyrics of "Ode to the Pear Blossom" written by Weng Si. On Saturday night, it was pouring rain outside. , Yang Nailin was trapped in the room, struggling to get out the music score. After returning to Beijing, Yang Nailin immediately sang "Ode to the Pear Blossom" to Mr. Mei Baojiu. Mei Baojiu fell in love with it as soon as she heard it. Mei Baojiu has been working hard to promote this song and personally sang it in the Vienna Golden Hall.

The story about composing the music for "The Princess of the Tang Dynasty" is also full of drama. At that time, the premiere of "The Princess of the Tang Dynasty" was scheduled for November 2, but when Yang Nailin came to Shanghai again in mid-October, there was not a single note in the orchestration of the entire play. There is a performance on November 2nd, what should I do? The crew urgently transferred seven composers from Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and they worked day and night in the hotel to get the orchestrators out. At that time, the scores were written one by one and delivered one by one, and they were written while arranging. When the scores were not available, the crew had to wait.

The hard work paid off in the end. The premiere of "The Princess of the Tang Dynasty" was a great success, and "Ode to the Pear Blossom" became even more popular. Recalling the past, Yang Nailin said affectionately that without "The Princess of the Tang Dynasty", there would be no Yang Nailin today. However, if it weren't for Yang Nailin's diligent pursuit, excellence and enterprising spirit in music, I believe there would not be the popular "Ode to the Pear Blossom" or such a majestic "The Princess of the Tang Dynasty".

Yang Nailin believes that it is because the Conservatory of Music has given him professional composition knowledge, and the experience of La Jinghu in the troupe has allowed him to better understand the essence of Peking Opera music. Only in this way can the soundtrack of The Imperial Concubine of the Tang Dynasty be truly achieved. "Chinese and Western", a harmonious blend, rather than sounding like "two layers of skin".
