On the evening of April 8, "Listening to Guangdong-Yang Weijie, Sha Jingshan and the Guangdong National Orchestra Concert" will be conducted by conductor Wang Fujian and will perform at the Xinghai Concert Hall. Both Yang Weijie and Sha Jingshan are people who love music and performances. In recent years, the two have been involved in composition, and regard composition as a deep interaction within the performer's own heart. The concert will also showcase the results of their continuous research in music.

Listening to Guangdong - Yang Weijie, Sha Jingshan and the Guangdong Chinese Orchestra Concert

The special conductor Wang Fujian was invited to hold the baton. He has cooperated with the Guangdong National Orchestra for many times and has developed a very high tacit understanding with the performers of the band. The selection of music for the concert is rich and colorful. "Lyrics of the Prairie" and "The Sea of Guangdong" are all famous flute songs. "Memories of Yunnan" and "Wandering in Su Causeway" will show Sha Jingshan's superb skills in various plucked instruments. There will also be an ensemble performance of Cantonese music "Orchestral Links" and their own flute pieces "Poems of the Land" and pipa pieces "Taoyuan Knot". Sha Jingshan will play four kinds of instruments: Pipa, Ruan, Liuqin and Qinqin, of which Pipa, Ruan and Liuqin will each perform one piece.

In the concert, the world premiere of Pipa and the band "Taoyuan Yiyi", composed by Sha Jingshan, invited Malaysian Chinese composer Jiang Ciliang to arrange the band. The motivation for the creation of "Taoyuan Yiyi" came from the music fragment Sha Jingshan was invited to compose for the Hong Kong stage play "Three Kingdoms" in 2017.

Yang Weijie's "Poem Country" was created in 2018 and arranged by Jiang Ciliang for the National Orchestra. The music is inspired by "Moving from the Left to Languan and Showing Nephew Sun Xiang" by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. This poem was written during the poet's relegation to Chaozhou, expressing his inner anger and the sadness of the uncertain future. Although the poetry is quite sad, it is sincere, so I use poetry as a reference, integrate Chang’an and Chaoshan music styles, and use the form of bamboo flute and orchestra to express my own emotions and nostalgia in the poem.

Involving musical instruments

Pipa (pinyin: pí pa), the first plucked instrument, is a traditional plucked instrument in East Asia, a plucked stringed musical instrument. Made of wood or bamboo, the speaker is half-pear-shaped and has four strings on the top. It was originally made of silk thread, but now it is mostly made of steel wire, steel rope and nylon.
Ruan (Ruan Xian) (Pinyin: Ruǎn), short for Ruan Xian. It is a traditional plucked musical instrument of the Han nationality, also known as Ruan Xian and Ruan Qin. In ancient times, it was called Qin Pipa. Later, because of the introduction of Quxiang Pipa, the name "Pipa" was occupied, and it was named after Ruan Xian, who was good at playing this instrument.
Liuqin (pinyin: Liǔ Qín) is a plucked stringed instrument originated in the Qing Dynasty. The earliest Liuqin has a very simple structure and a very folk-like appearance. Now popular all over the country. It is one of the pear-shaped speakers and stringed instruments that have been circulating among the people since the Tang Dynasty. Its shape, structure and playing method are similar to those of the pipa.
