On the evening of September 17th, the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games was being held in the Bird's Nest. When the national flags of the participating countries entered the stadium, a special March attracted people's interest. The March music doesn't sound so formal. The cheerful and lively Rondo style actually makes many audiences hum along with it, and even stand up and stand on tiptoe ...
Yin Qing, the chief music designer and famous composer of the Paralympic Games, introduced that in order to match the overall style of the closing ceremony performance, more than 6 minutes of music was positioned as pastoral, fresh and warm six months ago. "In fact, the various scenes at the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games make it more demanding to impress people with music than the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games." Yin Qing said that this kind of touching people's hearts needs inner strength instead of publicity.
The theme music of the whole closing ceremony is actually the children's chorus when the flame goes out. Before the flame went out, it sounded when 6, red leaves of Xiangshan fell, and it sounded when craven bent down to pick up the red leaves. Until the end, it evolved into a song, warm and atmospheric, full of national and international elements.
Many lively singles are also impressive. In addition to the music of athletes entering the stadium at the beginning and the national flag entering the stadium, in the chapter of Sowing, 96 dolls with different shapes and skin colors have to plant stars all over the sky, and the ensemble of piano and strings is full of childlike interest. However, a cello solo is slightly sad and has a profound meaning. "Planting stars is our desire for the future and beauty, but this desire has not yet been fully realized by human beings. I hope the cello can express this meaning. " Yin Qing said.
In the chapter "Watering", bronze carvers of various shapes and identities surround a Beijing volunteer girl and silently read a letter. At this time, the Beijing opera aria of "Yi Yi Ya Ya" sounded on the field, and gradually evolved into a Beijing opera chorus with full charm. Yin Qing believed that the closing ceremony was a farewell to athletes and guests from all over the world. Therefore, there must be a piece of music with strong China elements. For this simple singing, the director group also invited 1 people from Tsing Yi, a popular city in Beijing, to record, thus creating a small climax.
