"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is a classic suona music, which spread in Shandong, Anhui, Henan, Hebei and other places in the early years. The melody of the suona music is played in various ways depending on the region or performance style. Most of the melodies are improvised by the performers, and the length can be long or short without fixed structure. During the folk improvisation performance, the artists also add poultry sounds such as cock crow, hen crow and duck noise at any time, and the atmosphere of life is extremely strong.

In recent years, the song has been performed in various forms, such as the suona and the national big band, the suona and the orchestra and even the suona and the jazz band. This recording shows the unique interpretation of the suona and the big organ for the first time. At first, the suona rising from the ground played a beautiful stretch of melody, awakening the rising sun and shaking off the simple wind of the east. Then, the grand and magnificent sound of the organ slowly dispersed, setting off the steep Suona. The suona simulates the chirp of a bird, which is very vivid, sometimes long, sometimes short, sometimes bright, sometimes low. The short and long phrases, like a song, are answered alternately and humorous. It seems that the organ only wants to hide behind the scenes, so it turns into the green forest where the hundred birds hide, accepting the birds jumping and playing, lively singing and dancing. The eastern suona and the western organ, one high and the other low, are so harmonious that they blend with each other, regardless of you and me, and together depict this mysterious and vibrant natural scene.
