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 first part of the song is a chorus, the second part is a chorus, and the third part is a chorus. The waves are higher than the waves, just like the waves of the Yellow River rolling and rushing, unstoppable. When singing in turn, the backup singer of "Longge Longge" sounds endless and interesting, which enhances the lively, positive and optimistic atmosphere.
Clever metaphor for the anti-Japanese armed forces from small to large, from weak to strong, and finally merged into an invincible force. It will overwhelm all enemies and show the great spirit of a heroic nation. A long instrumental interlude after the duet not only rendered the atmosphere and portrayed the image, but also paved the way for the ending to turn to a climax, making the ending more prominent the strong determination of the people of China to swear to destroy the invaders.
Defending the Yellow River is the fourth movement of the piano concerto The Yellow River, written in the form of free variations. Its structure: introduction+theme+variation+variation 2+variation 3+variation 4+variation 5+variation 6+variation 7+insertion+variation 8 (end).
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, and the timbre is piano, piano, strings and bass strings. 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.
