"Awa People Singing New Song" was originally sung by Chang Si Si.
"A Wa People Sing New Song" is a song composed by Yang Zhengren, written in the winter of 1964 and born in the spring of 1965.
The song was written by Yang Zhengren in the winter of 1964 and was born in the spring of 1965, and was awarded the Starlight Prize by the Chinese Television Literature and Art in the 1990s.
The song was written in the winter of 1964 and was composed by Yang Zhengren and his comrades in the border guards, and they went into the mountains to set up a line, and they could not return to their campsite in time.
That night, the villagers lit a bonfire in the village, and the A Wa people sang and danced for the people's sons and daughters. Among them, Yang Zhengren heard a rather melodious song with a melody that was not enjoyable to listen to, so he squatted down to listen and write, and jotted down the tones of the song in a small book. Even the company commander bent down to give him a flashlight so that he could write more clearly.
Background of the composition
For days, these melodies always lingered in Yang Zhengren's mind. He wanted to use these melodious melodies to compose a new song for A Wa, to express their new emotions and new outlook after they turned over and were liberated. Yang Zhengren rearranged and transcribed the sheet music he had recorded, and then changed and developed the original simple phrases.
Turning up the downward line that continues to go down, the song's score was completed. After that, Yang Zhengrin filled in the lyrics according to the rhyme scheme of "Jiangsanmuluo" based on his own true feelings towards Awa in the past few years. The song breaks through the convention of having words first and then music, and fits the pattern of having music first and then lyrics. From winter to spring, Yang Zhengrin finally completed the creation of "A Wa People Singing New Songs" off and on.
