He Yuan's cucurbit flute performance "Three Tastes of the Miao Year" comes from the album "Music Dictionary: Cucurbit Silica - He Yuan".
The New Year of the Miao is the most important festival of the Miao people, like the Spring Festival of the Han people or the Water Splashing Festival of the Dai people. Cockfighting, bullfighting and horse racing are three essential activities in the Miao year. The song "Three Tastes of the Year of Miao" is divided into three parts, "Rooster Sings", "Roar of the Bull King" and "Pentium"
This piece starts from a big winning rooster, with bright feathers, head high, head held high, shaking his head and feathers, walking proudly through the lively stockade. The first part of the piece starts with the loud "rooster singing" "name.
In the second part of the music, "The Bull King's Roar", a low-pitched Bull King's roar shocked the audience. It was slow and majestic. The bullfight was visually full of collisions of strength and speed.
The third part of "Three Tastes of Miao Nian", "Pentium", with the fierce bullfighting, the speed of the music gradually accelerated, and the sudden "sniffing" horse sound ushered in the most intense part of the music, "Pentium". .
In fact, this is a trio of cucurbit flute, which may be the most interesting trio I have composed this year. When writing this piece, the rhythm of the music often inadvertently brings me back to the Miao Village of that year.
