Starting from an introduction, the overture is composed of two contrasting musical themes, with strong rhythm, strength contrast and melodic ups and downs, suggesting the cheerful mood that permeates the whole song.
The first theme of the first part is lively and rough, and the rhythm is constantly tightening (C major), which shows the vivid scene and warm atmosphere of the yangko group dance. The second theme is lively and smooth, with the flute playing the main theme and the oboe playing the counterpoint. The music shows people's uncontrollable joy and excitement.
The melody in the middle part is very lyrical and beautiful, with a stretched rhythm and slow speed (in F major), which is in sharp contrast with the first part. It shows people's cordial blessings and greetings during festivals, and also expresses people's praise for a happy life and their longing for a better tomorrow. After the trumpet changed this lyric theme, the music was introduced into the reproduction department.
here, the fiery melody and jumping rhythm indicate that the more enthusiastic group dance has begun again. The theme tone of the introduction and the first part is partly repeated and varied here, and national percussion instruments are added to push the music to a climax gradually, and the jubilant scene of the festival and people's festive mood are vividly displayed.
As the prelude to Spring Festival Suite, Spring Festival Overture is characterized by lively melody, beautiful and rich national style, and bright and enthusiastic rhythm, which vividly reflects the scene of Chinese people's lively jubilation, singing and dancing with gongs and drums in traditional programs.
The music structure is a complex trilogy with reproduction, and it is a subtle idea to integrate a western trend into China traditional music.
