Song of the Red Star is composed by Wu Dawei and Wei, and sung by china national radio Amateur Children's Choir and Central People's Liberation Army Song and Dance Troupe. Written in 1974. 1980 In May, the song won the first prize of the Second National Children's Literature Creation Award.
Song of the Red Star is a magnificent and powerful children's chorus song, with seven tones, one paragraph structure and four beats. The prelude of the song is majestic and powerful, and the aria is both majestic and lyrical, which has the naive interest of children. The music image is very vivid, as if the audience could see a group of revolutionary teenagers, with darts and wooden guns on their shoulders, marching with majestic and arrogant steps.
Creative background:
1973, the composer received the task of composing the theme song "Song of the Red Star" of the movie "Sparkling Red Star", but the lyricists Wei and Wu Dawei politely refused the invitation to write lyrics. On the second day after Wei and Wu Dawei refused, Fu Gengchen went to their door with the movie script of "Sparkling Red Star" and told them that he had communicated with them in shenyang military area command. Just then, shenyang military area command's phone told them that they had to complete the lyrics task, so they had to accept the lyrics task.
After the creation began, Wei and Wu Dawei took turns reading the script and discussing it while reading. After reading about two-thirds of the scripts, they all feel the same way, that is, they feel the deepest about Red Star. In the same way, the focus of the two people is slightly different. Wu Dawei was deeply impressed by the whole process of growing up with Red Star, while Wei was moved by the sentence "Red Star is the heart of our workers and peasants" in the script. They decided to write around the word "Red Star", and they must have the sentence "Red Star is the heart of our workers and peasants".
Two hours later, I finished the lyrics creation of the theme song "Song of the Red Star". Every sentence in the lyrics has the word "red star", and "red star is the heart of our workers and peasants" has also become the finishing touch. After the lyrics were revised, composer Fu Gengchen began to rush back to the glittering red star cast. Trains, cars and trucks galloped all the way, and the notes in running all the way and Fu Gengchen's heads also "galloped" all the way, creating the tune of Song of the Red Star along the way.
