Lyrics of Yao dance by Kuai Dequan

Dance music of Yao nationality

Liu Tieshan and Mao Yuanqu

─────────

─────────

It's a song worth listening to

Single movement orchestral music with repeated aftertaste

The work was created in the 1950s

The composer uses folk dance music "Long Drum Dance"

Using orchestral technique as material

Rich and vivid show of the Yao people

The festive scene of singing and dancing

The music uses beautiful melody

It shows that he is good at singing and dancing

Yao people's life

legend

Liu Tieshan first expressed his feelings in northern Guangdong

Yao compatriots singing and dancing to celebrate the festival

Take the local traditional song and dance drum music as the material

Created "Yao Long Drum Song"

Later, Mao Yuan introduced some themes of the song

Adapted for Orchestra

Finally finished the song

Wonderful works of Chinese orchestral music

Dance music of Yao nationality

Orchestral dance of Yao nationality

It is a single movement with three complex parts (a → B → a)

Introduction

The music imitates the graceful rhythm of the drum and plays gently

Is it the soft footstep of a girl

Description of men, women and children in Yao village under moonlight

From their own homes have entered the village of the open field scene

Gradually bring up the first part

Part I (paragraph a)

The first theme describes the beautiful Yao girls

Graceful dance steps

The music is very soft and gentle

People seem to see it

Holiday night

Long drum playing

Singing light

Yao's children in full dress

Gathered in the silver moonlight

The string instruments of the band play a quiet and euphemistic theme

Just like a graceful girl dancing

very pretty and charming

magnificent ; ornate ; fascinating

With the development of the theme

More and more girls

They all joined the dance

The atmosphere grew warm

The wind music plays a lively theme

It's like a bunch of guys

I can't help breaking into the ranks of the girls

Dance and dance

He expressed his excitement

Part two (paragraph b)

Tune change

Change to triple

Melody in peace

Full of singing in the development

Sometimes there is a rhythm of jumping

Affectionate and euphemistic

It is also combined with the unique soft dance of Yao nationality

Unique charm

Just like a pair of young lovers singing and dancing

Talk to each other about love

Taste the sweetness of love together

Looking forward to a bright future

The third paragraph (reappearance of paragraph a)

It reproduces the theme of the first paragraph

Young and old

People joined the dance

Dancing with joy

Spinning

Dancing

Do it

The atmosphere was warm

Passionate

It shows Yao people's men and women soundly

Enthusiastic and unrestrained spirit

The music is in a strong rhythm

To the climax

End up in a quick, happy mood

This is what I love

One of the Chinese orchestral works

The above introduction is just for reference

A general explanation of the title of a piece of music

In fact, there are no words

For really good music

They are often pale, poor and superfluous

Please enjoy this beautiful and affectionate dance of Yao nationality

（end）
