What is the background of Spring Festival Overture?

The Spring Festival Suite was written in 1955-1956. Based on the tone and rhythm of folk yangko in northern Shaanxi, the music has a lively melody, which vividly shows the scenes of China people's excitement, jubilation, beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing in traditional festivals. As the prelude to the Spring Festival suite, Spring Festival Overture is characterized by its lively melody.

Beautiful and full of national style, the rhythm is bright and warm, which vividly reflects the scene of our people's excitement, jubilation, beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing in traditional festivals. Music structure is a complex trilogy with reproducibility, and it is a subtle idea to incorporate a western trend into China traditional music.

Northern Shaanxi Yangko has a long history;

The inexhaustible art treasure house gives the composer inspiration, inspiration, source and motivation. The orchestral Spring Festival Suite composed by composer Li Huanzhi more than 60 years ago absorbed the melody of folk songs in northern Shaanxi.

Yangko in northern Shaanxi has a long history, which originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to the land gods. On the plateau, on the fifteenth day of the first month, people started a community fire and danced yangko. The leader's "umbrella head" is tied with a white sheep belly towel and HongLing is tied around his waist. He held an umbrella in one hand, and its surface was cut and decorated with colored stripes. In the other hand, he held a "tiger support" (a string bell for medical practice) and shook his head while singing "Yangko tune". The atmosphere at the scene was warm, one person sang and everyone was in harmony.
