Hu Yiying's new work "Chasing the Light" illuminatesthe international music circles

Author: Hu Zi'ang Translator: Elizabeth He

"Chasing the Light" has drawn massive attention of music fans on Hu Yiying again.
The famous huqin performer from China Oriental Performing Arts Group (a state-owned song and dance troupe) devoted herself to the composition of her work during the national holilays. In the autum of 2021, "Chasing the Light" was realeased, which amazed the Chinese music circles as well as the whole world!
Erhu, a Chinese national musical instrument, has always been famous for its distant, lingering and heart-winding features. However, "Chasing the Light" instantly attracted the audience's attention with its artful and melodic dancing tunes. The quick Erhu rhythm, accompanied by the DJ style soundtrack, presents a series of fresh pictures for the audience - groups of energetic young people running on their own life tracks with their expectations for nice dreams and a better future... The musical notes are connected in lines and strings, with a myriad of varied colors, crisscross and rush into the vast universe, just like inserting wings and flying, shining with the infinite brilliance of life.
Starting from the 28th second of "Chasing the Light", Hu Yiying uses the decomposition form of chord to quickly switch. Her performing skills are so excellent that the musical notes are pouring out like clouds and flowing water. The music has strong rhythm and relaxation, from which you can feel people's love for life. In the stormy rhythm, it can be felt that people are dancing with great enthusiasm. In the paragraph of 2 minutes and 44 seconds, through continuous and cascading phrases, the performer deduces the height of the soul with passion and freedom, leading the audience to think about their own lives. Three fast-paced passages run through the whole music. The atmosphere of the music is magnificent and grand. The gentle atmosphere in the indirect paragraph is full of the spirit of joy and happiness, which helps shape the soul.

整首乐曲高潮迭起，段落错落有致，章节跌宕起伏，体现了胡艺影高山仰止的专业素养和高超的演奏技巧。闭上眼睛听《追光》，曲调时而高亢，时而沉稳。高亢时如万马奔腾，歌声嘹亮，犹如大珠小珠落玉盘，清脆悠扬; 沉稳时若万山红遍，天地祥和。

据记者的一位西人朋友说，他第一次听到《追光》时，绝不相信这是出自一个中国音乐家之手，他相信是精通西洋音乐的西方音乐家谱曲的。

诚然“民族的，才是世界的”。《追光》之所以能受到中外人士的广泛关注，除了音乐本身极具艺术感染力之外，该乐曲由距今一千多年历史的中国二胡演奏出来，让很多外国朋友惊诧不已，在他们的认知里，二胡只能演奏出婉转悠长的幽怨琴音，可《追光》完全颠覆了他们的认知!

The whole tune the work is lively and cheerful, like people celebrating victory with joy. The music is full of surging passion, just like the opening and closing of heaven and earth, which makes people heated and excited. The sound of Erhu is as close as another, like running water pouring down from lofty mountains and making a Ding-dong sound. The euphemistic and beautiful music, like a little sweet spring, moistens people's hearts. As soon as "Chasing the light" is released, it immediately aroused a strong response, and received highly favorable reviews from all parties.

The musical work has climax one after another, with its paragraphs well scattered, and chapters full of ups and downs, which reflects Hu Yiying's high professional quality and superb performance skills. Close your eyes and listen to "Chasing the Light", you will find the tune is sometimes high pitched and sometimes calm. When it is high, it's like ten thousand horses galloping, singing loud and clear, and like big beads falling on a jade plate, crisp and melodious. When the note is calm, it feels like the mountains are red, and the whole world is peaceful.

According to a Western friend of the reporter, when he first heard "Chasing the Light", he could hardly believe it was written by a Chinese musician. He said he thought it was composed by a western musician proficient in western music. It is true that "of a nation, of the world". The reason why "Chasing the Light" has attracted extensive attention from people at home and abroad is that in addition to the great artistic appeal of the music itself, the music is played by the Chinese Erhu with a history of more than 1000 years, which surprised many foreign friends. In their cognition, the Erhu can only play a gentle and long sad sound. However, "Chasing the Light" completely subverted their perception!
