Instrumental trio "Spring is coming"

The Chinese Communist Youth League song composed by the sound of thunder and rain

Gaohu and guzheng trio "Spring is coming" ", created in 1956, is the work of Lei Yusheng's youth. Performing at the first national music week in 1956 was well received.

This piece of music is adapted from music materials such as the Fujian folk song "Picking Tea and Butterflies" and the Yunnan folk song "Little River Flowing Water".

This piece was originally a trio played by Gao Hu and two guzhengs. It has a novel form and gorgeous colors. This piece can also be played in the form of a trio composed of gaohu, guzheng and dulcimer. The work makes full use of the unique timbre of these instruments - bright, gorgeous, and good at expressing joyful emotions. This arrangement better expresses the artistic conception of nature full of spring and vitality.

The music style of the whole song is bright and smooth, with a breath-taking effect.

The song "Welcome Song"

At that time, Lei Yusheng, the composer of the Liaoning Opera House, was invited to score "Where Do the Guests Come From", a film about the Canton Fair produced by Changying. After the music was completed, the factory asked him to create two more movie episodes, so he asked his old partner Liu Wenyu to complete this task together. On the train to Changchun, the sound of thunder and rain narrated the content of the film to Liu Wenyu, and hummed his own melody, and Liu Wenyu began to draft. After watching the pornographic film at Changying, the director asked them to complete the creation within 10 days. As a result, they wrote "Welcome Song" in only 3 days.

“At that time, Guangdong was the forefront of reform and opening up, so I thought there must be some trendy elements in my works. I thought of ‘disco’ at that time, and asked someone to bring me some relevant information from Hong Kong. After getting familiar with it, I started creating the work. Some people heard it and thought it was good and trendy enough; but more people thought it was too trendy and lost our traditional things..." Lei Lao, who was in a dilemma, suddenly had a thought in his mind. It emerged that the welcome song played locally when Premier Zhou visited Vietnam had both Chinese characteristics and the heritage of Vietnamese music. "I immediately understood that no matter how 'foreign' something is, it must still be Chinese at heart, otherwise it will become It's delicious!" Lei Lao then re-created "Welcome Song", while retaining the charm of Guangdong music, and appropriately adding elements of foreign music such as the United States and Southeast Asia. "Liu Wenyu's lyrics are particularly good, like 'Treat each other with sincerity' 'Such a formulation was rare at the time. "

Li Guyi sang this song at the 1980 Spring Festival Gala, and it became instantly popular across the country.
