Characters’ speeches and creative background of main works
< p> Siqin Chao Ketu said: I always feel that my hometown when I was a child is very beautiful. The mountains are mountains and the water is water. It is so pure and clean that I am still looking for the notes that really match it. On the pasture, sheep, cattle, and horses each graze on their own grass, and there are white cranes rising and falling in the gaps. It is like an illusion, more like a clearly discernible melody, which makes me fascinated.When I was a child, my house was surrounded by a patch of splendens splendens. As soon as the wind blows, a path will appear, which is the path I take to school every day. On the way back and forth, I kept singing songs, mostly folk songs. When you are happy, you can also sing one or two long tunes smoothly. In my hometown, the wind can travel very far, so it carries my singing far away. As time went by, everyone heard my singing. Neighbors love to hear it, and so do family members. For the first time, I felt the great satisfaction and inextricable fascination that singing brought me.
In the year of the college entrance examination, I wrote a graduation song, which accidentally spread among my classmates. That was my first songwriting song. In the year I graduated from college, I wrote another graduation song, which soon spread among universities in Inner Mongolia and became widely popular in society. It really excited me for a while. The inseparable graduation complex makes people feel more affectionate now when I think back on it. Perhaps it is that sincere nostalgia, that kind of simplicity and true love that is difficult to reproduce, that has become the source of warmth in all my songs.
When I was composing that college graduation song, I couldn’t foresee that my real hard days of studying were still to come. When I stepped onto the podium in college, I felt my inner desire for knowledge and a deeper pursuit of music all the time. So after I got married and started a career, I started studying in Beijing four times.
The first and second time were to study composition professional courses at the China Conservatory of Music, the third time was to study for a master's degree in composition from Minzu University of China, and the fourth time was to study for a doctoral degree in composition from the Central Conservatory of Music. ***seven years before and after! I left my spacious and comfortable home again and again to live in a narrow student dormitory; I left my beloved wife and children again and again, and studied hard alone in front of a cold window, so that every time I stopped thinking about music for a while, I calmly stared at the moonlight and thought about my life. When I hit the meaning, I was filled with guilt, a deep guilt for my family, my children, and my wife. Therefore, in my happy melodies, there is also a hint of melancholy hidden silently, the kind of melancholy that only my heart can hear and recognize...
Seven years of time! It allowed me to witness the vicissitudes of time. But it also allowed me to constantly touch the youth of music on the keys. I dare say that in my songs I fully express my sincere gratitude to my relatives, friends, and benefactors, as well as my deep attachment to my hometown. Because of this, some of my songs have been widely sung in society and won various awards. It all comes from the deep emotion given to me by family and friendship. I think this is my biggest gain, and it is also a gain for my family and friends. I will continue to work hard. Because I believe that dreams belong to last night, and dreams belong to the future...
1. The creative background of the representative work "Blue Mongolian Plateau": "Blue Mongolian Plateau" was written in 1997 In the winter of that year, it was the first time Siqin Chao Ketu went to Beijing to study. He was born in the piano room of the China Conservatory of Music. I remember that it was a cold night, and he was calling out the distant warmth on the keys, with his eyes filled with the most beautiful scenery of his hometown in that season. In a daze, he seemed to see his hometown, and his heart began to sing involuntarily. He soon felt that this was the melody flowing naturally from his heart, and it was an affectionate narration of his hometown. So I sang it over and over again, tears streaming down my face. When he left the piano room, he no longer needed to read the score a few times, but had it deeply engraved in his heart. A few days later, he found his friend Wu Naqin and asked him to write the lyrics. Then he found the famous singer Teacher Dedema and asked her to sing the song. A month later, Teacher De recorded both the Mongolian and Chinese versions, and released the Mongolian-Chinese bilingual version at the 1998 Inner Mongolia TV Spring Festival Gala. It was a success and became widely sung in the society. Later, in 2002, the People's Congress of Bahrain Right Banner in his hometown of Chifeng City voted to designate this song as the flag song of Bahrain Right Banner.
2. Background of the creation of the representative work "Heart Search": In the winter of 2005, Siqin Chaoketu accidentally saw a TV series based on the theme of three thousand orphans in Shanghai. The so-called "Three Thousand Orphans" are mainland orphans who were sent to Inner Mongolia for adoption by herders during difficult times. After these orphans were adopted by herdsmen, they gradually established relationships with their adoptive mothers, adoptive parents, brothers and sisters, and had a warm home and a happy life. From then on, children in the city became children in pastoral areas, and Han children became out-and-out Mongolian children. Coming to the grassland is both their helplessness and their luck. However, the long-distance family ties are still treasured in their hearts. On the grassland, they miss their late parents and their hometown in Shanghai. They let their hearts fly under the vast cloud sky of the grassland, looking for the hometown where family love lasts forever. Watching the TV series, he was moved by the selfless love of the herdsmen's father Eji, and by the tireless thoughts of the children. He had a creative impulse, and immediately wrote the melody of "Heart Search", and then asked his friends to Lyrics written by Sen. At the 2006 Inner Mongolia TV Spring Festival Gala, the famous Mongolian singer Sriqima sang this song, which was immediately spread inside and outside the region.
3. The creative background of the representative work "I Have a Promise with the Grassland": In the autumn of 2001, Siqin Chao Ketu received a letter from Liaoning, containing a stack of lyrics, and the sender was Yang Yanlei. He flipped through the lyrics and suddenly saw the words "I have a promise with the grassland", and his eyes suddenly lit up. He feels that these words appropriately reflect the unanimous voice of Mongolians from outside the region or compatriots from other places who love the grassland, and express their yearning and love for the grassland of Inner Mongolia. At that time, a friend happened to suggest that he write a catchy three-beat song. So he immediately composed the music for the lyrics and did it in one go. Later, this song was sung by famous singers such as Qi Feng and Phoenix Legend, and spread all over the country.
4. The creative background of the representative work "Ama with a Buddha Heart": "Ama with a Buddha Heart" was written in the autumn of 2000. It was the harvest of Siqin Chao Ketu when he went to Beijing to study for the second time. Born in the piano room of China Conservatory of Music.
At that time, when Wu Naqin gave the Mongolian lyrics to Siqin Chaoketu, he said that the lyrics expressed his longing for his grandmother. Wu Naqin was raised by his grandmother. The kind and experienced grandmother described in the poem is exactly the portrayal of his grandmother, and her image makes people respect her. The composer read this poem repeatedly, and a kind grandmother gradually appeared in his eyes, which turned out to be his mother. His mother died when he was 14 years old, leaving lingering grief and longing in his heart. This lyric evoked the still vague memories of his mother that he treasured in his heart, causing his hands to reach out to the piano keys involuntarily, and he sang a melody affectionately, all in one breath. It can be said that his and the lyricist's emotions overlapped in this song from different angles. Later, it was sung by the famous singer Tengger in 2005 and became widely sung in the society.
