Lyrics:
The wind is whistling and the horse is barking.
The Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring.
Hexi mountain is high, and sorghum is ripe in Hedong and Hebei.
There are many anti-Japanese heroes in the mountains, and the guerrillas in the green tents are heroic.
Picked up a soil gun and a foreign gun, waving broadsword and spear.
Defend my hometown, Yellow River, North China and China.
The wind is whistling and the horse is barking.
The Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring.
Hexi mountain is high, and sorghum is ripe in Hedong and Hebei.
There are many anti-Japanese heroes in the mountains, and the guerrillas in the green tents are heroic.
Picked up a soil gun and a foreign gun, waving broadsword and spear.
Defend my hometown, Yellow River, North China and China.
The wind is whistling and the horse is barking.
The Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring.
Hexi mountain is high, and sorghum is ripe in Hedong and Hebei.
There are many anti-Japanese heroes in the mountains, and the guerrillas in the green tents are heroic.
Picked up a soil gun and a foreign gun, waving broadsword and spear.
Defend my hometown, Yellow River, North China and China.
Extended data:
The whole song adopts March genre, short beat and inspiring tone, loud battle slogan, forceful rhythm, quick jumping motivation and gradually unfolding voice form, which makes the song full of vigorous feelings and vividly depicts the magnificent scenes of guerrilla athletes fighting for the protection of the Yellow River and China in green tents and mountains.
The Yellow River Cantata provided a brilliant example for China's modern large-scale vocal music creation. In the late 1960s, it was also adapted into a piano concerto.
The piano concerto "Yellow River" used the expression of western classical piano concertos in its creation, and embodied the traditional style of China in its musical structure, and was written in the form of a title suite. Today, this well-known work has rushed out of the country and become a regular repertoire on the concert stage all over the world.
The electronic piano ensemble "Defending the Yellow River" is even more touching. The whole song is divided into four parts, the timbre is piano, brass, string and bass. This song has seven chapters. Players are required to play different notes at the same time to complete the ensemble. So players need to work together.
