4. "Happy Flowers and Full Moon"
"Happy Flowers and Full Moon" is a folk music ensemble piece played by the Central Broadcasting National Orchestra.
In early 1935, Huang Yijun, who was an elementary school music instructor in Suzhou, was introduced to the National Orchestra under the music department of Shanghai's Baidai Records Company as a player.
On one occasion, when the company was making a folk music record, it was missing a piece of music of about five minutes. The director of the music department, Mr. Ren Guang, asked Huang Yijun to take on the task of filling in the blanks. Although Huang Yijun had never studied compositional techniques, he had no experience in the field.
But the passion from his heart made this piece come together in one fell swoop. Because it was written without a title, Chen Zhong of the National Orchestra gave it the name "Full Moon" based on the piece's cheerful atmosphere.
Shortly after the founding of New China, conductor Peng Xiuwen adapted the Jiangnan silk and bamboo style of "Good Flowers, Good Moon, and Full Circle" into a national orchestra, which was later performed by the Central Broadcasting National Orchestra, and had a wide impact. Because Huang Yijun did not sign his name when he composed this piece, Peng Xiuwen always mistakenly thought that this piece was composed by Ren Guang. It was corrected only after a knowledgeable person reflected it to the Central Radio.
