Chinese folk music...
A Joyous Day
This piece was composed by Ma Shenglong in 1958. It is an early pipa composition in the modern three-part style. The piece depicts the joyous mood of the people on a happy day when they are beating gongs and drums.
The piece begins with a short introduction, using a combination of sweeps, half-wheels and picks to simulate the rhythms of folk gongs and drums, which is cheerful and enthusiastic. The theme that emerges is from the Henan folk song ‘Eight Duan Jin’, a tune later rewritten as ‘August Laurel Blossoms Bloom Everywhere’, which is smooth and joyful. The first part of the piece is made up of a contrasting sequence of offerings, splits, and overtone variations, and passing phrases.
The second part of the slow movement, still on the basis of the original theme, slows down the tempo, and uses the long wheel to express the stretching and beautiful melody, which expresses people's inner joy.
The third part is the recapitulation part, the melody of the drum and gong rhythm is more exciting and enthusiastic, and finally, the use of fast melodic rhythm pushes the piece to the climax.
This piece is characterised by the unity of the material, the smoothness of the tune, and the combination of pipa techniques.
