Defending the Yellow River is the seventh movement of The Yellow River Cantata. The songs are sung in turn in chorus. It has a wide mass, and it is a song widely circulated by anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.

The whole song adopts the genre of March, with short rhythm, exciting tone, loud battle slogan, vigorous rhythm, quick jumping motivation and gradually expanding sound pattern, which makes the song full of vigorous feelings and vividly depicts the magnificent scene of guerrilla fighters defending the Yellow River and China with guns and spears.

This song uses the rhythm of folk percussion music and the melody of Guangdong lion dance music as the material, which makes the song appear bright and bold, with distinctive musical image and rich national style.

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.

The piano concerto "Yellow River" is adapted from the Yellow River Chorus, a famous musician in China. The piano concerto "Yellow River" was written in the early days of 1969 "Cultural Revolution". 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.
