Huang Anlun’s music has two major characteristics. First, he has created a large number of traditional style works with beautiful melodies and various categories, which almost never involve modern music styles. Many of the works are pioneering works with corresponding instrument configurations in China. There are very few good undiscovered melodies in the world today that can be used to write traditional piano music, and his large number of outstanding works show that in China, which is rich in folk music materials and has a low level of development, there is still a huge field of traditional composition. room for development. Second, he believed in Christ and created a large amount of Christian music. He can be regarded as the first or only person in modern religious music in China.

If there is no deep feeling for the mountains, rivers, plants and trees of a certain land, the folk songs of that land will not have any meaning. Starting from He Luting's "Shepherd Boy Piccolo", Chinese composers have created a large number of piano pieces based on national melodies and national customs. Huang Anlun's "Thirty Little Songs from Saibei" is the best representative among them. It is so beautiful that it can even make all other pieces The Chinese piano sketch was immediately eclipsed.

In the early 1970s, Huang Anlun was forced to stay away from his relatives and go deep into one of the most barren areas in China - Saibei - for three years. This experience has not only become an indelible memory for the author, but as a fledgling music conservatory student, the simple and bold folk customs and long and vigorous folk songs of Saibei have decisively changed the author's creative style forever. "Thirty Songs from Saibei" is also directly related to the author's two mentors. One is the author's piano teacher, Shao Yuanxin, whose love for Bach became the basis of the musical ideas he imparted to the author. But in order to provide his students with more Chinese teaching materials, he directly invited authors to write "pure earth" works. The other is the author’s composition mentor Chen Zi, who introduced the author into the vast ocean of national music. However, according to his teachings, as a result of studying folk music, the author tried his best to avoid "copying" the melodies of folk songs in his writing, and various Western composition techniques were used quite freely.

The soil and water support the people. Just as Shanxi music materials are deeply accumulated in Wang Xilin's heart, the beautiful and simple melodies of Saibei can always flow out of Huang Anlun's heart. In addition to "Seibei Ditty", his other world-class masterpiece "Violin Concerto in B" also uses Saibei folk music materials. What is particularly valuable is that the two piano concertos composed by Huang Anlun, Dance Poetry No. 3, and Chinese Rhapsody No. 2 are extremely precious Chinese large and medium-sized piano works, and are among the few world-class masterpieces of this type of Chinese works. . In 1996, when Lang Lang first debuted, he participated in the finals of the International Youth Tchaikovsky Piano Competition with Huang Anlun's "Chinese Rhapsody No. 2" and won first place in one fell swoop.
