Su Chang -- Album Publishing Testimonials

In 2017, I led the students to form the "Chang Xiangzheng Troupe", held many concerts, rehearsed and performed classic works of various styles and performance forms, and made bold attempts to ensemble innovative works. My students and I enjoyed the process of creating beautiful things, and I always felt that these works should go from the concert hall to the wider world. Therefore, the popular works from the performances over the years were re-polished and this "Guzheng Ensemble Album" was launched. As a teacher, I am proud of my students, because they have not only improved their professionalism, but also cultivated a spirit of unity and enriched their inner world. I hope that in their future growth stage, they will "have the world in their hearts and others in their hearts".

When this album was finally presented, we were also moved by ourselves, moved by our pursuit of excellence in every note during the recording process, moved by the laughter and laughter during the rehearsal process, moved by the "Changxiangzheng Troupe" The warm family brings us endless love.

The cover of this album was created by Li Junlin, a student majoring in Chinese painting at the School of Art, Renmin University of China. It endows the guzheng with a sense of traditional artistic beauty. The theme of the ensemble album: "sound, imagine, sing". The album also includes many illustrations full of childlike innocence, some works are from my guzheng student Zhang Geyao, and some works are from a special autistic patient - Fenglin. These paintings fill the album with color, enriched by a richer emotional expression. Among them, in a painting called "Girl Walking on the Lake" in Fenglin, I seem to see my own shadow - "A girl who is full of fantasies about art wanders in a colorful world, and music leads her to A more fantastic world, nourished by art that enriched her and made her happy..." And today, my students are such girls. This painting is collected by me at home. Whenever students come to their home for class, I will introduce the origin and meaning of the painting to them, so that students can experience the infinite power brought by a focused and pure heart. I think this album is given love, and with that love, this album becomes more complete.

I hope everyone can enjoy the music in the album, and I hope that through the dissemination of the album, "sing" to more audiences and listeners, so that more people can love and listen to the wonderful sound of the guzheng. I also believe that this album can resonate, stimulate imagination, evoke fraternity, and bring people different feelings. I am very pleased to be able to inspire and spread love with the students, so that our music can flow to more places that like it and need it. I believe that music can heal people's hearts.
