~Synopsis~
Xin Huguang wrote the symphonic poem Gada Meiren when she was only 23 years old, submitting it as her graduating composition at the China Conservatory of music. Gada Meiren was an instant success, catapulting Xin into widespread recognition.
The piece is written in sonata form, using a theme inspired by a Mongolian folk song of the same name. It tells the story of its heroic titular figure, Gada Meiren, a Mongolian general regarded
as a hero by his countrymen. Driven by a blazing love for his motherland, Gada Meiren led his compatriots, the herders, in a five-year struggle against the feudal princes and warlords for their
freedom.
Before the exposition of the theme itself, the piece opens with a prelude evoking a scene of the sweeping Mongolian grasslands, the strings rustling like a sea of grass swaying in the wind. The
melancholic music reflects the harsh life of those who live there, but beneath its surface pulsates with energy of their unyielding enthusiasm and optimism.
We encounter the horse - the ubiquitous creature of Mongolian life, culture, and art - as we enter the battlefield in the development section. The orchestra's dotted rhythms mimic the horses' gallop against the strains of battle, depicting the herders’ revolt against their oppressors.
The music builds up to a tragic recapitulation of the theme, as the herders let out impassioned cries for the fallen Gada Meiren. They head home, victorious but devastated by the loss of their hero. The grasslands remain the same, seeming to be apathetic to their plight. It was just one of many battles to have happened upon its vast expanse. The herders, however, are forever changed. As they retell the battle to their families, they too are stricken with grief by the death of Gada Meiren, but at the same time, their hearts are filled with hope for a brighter future ahead.

This is one of the best symphonic poem ever written in the world.

難得難得不同各籍青年樂師演譯呢首咁首動聽交响詩，佢地好後生演奏得好好，指揮是此樂隊的靈雲居功不少👍👍👍

《嘎达梅林交响诗》是我最喜欢的民族交响乐之一，甚至甚于《梁祝》，可能悲情的英雄更容易让人动情

[@yueyao9716]

这个作品值得更加热烈的掌声

I think the composer herself won a special prize for this work in her early year.

非常震撼！亚洲育出如此优秀的交响乐团，且乐手的平均年龄是这样的年轻，真是亚洲之光！我听过很多版本的【嘎达梅林】交响诗演绎，本乐团在处理曲目的连贯性，甚至还胜过中国中央交响乐团的处理方式，更显得紧密相扣一气呵成！交响乐后继有人前途无量！恭喜啊，加油！

虽然这些年轻人能演奏中国的乐曲，我很高兴，但个人认为最好的版本还是国家交响乐团，有些同学的情绪根本不对，这首曲子中的气势是需要体验过草原的暴风雪，抢救过牲畜，见过在草原上的万马奔腾和落日余晖才能体会到的。

在西化的音乐创作方面，近当代中国成为东亚国家里最杰出的，尤其是在毛泽东执政的年代里，产生了一大批音乐作品，其中就包括这部作品，是中央音乐学院学生辛沪光1956年毕业时的作品，其音乐选题和风格非常接近贝多芬的《艾格蒙特曲序》。中国改革开放后的严肃音乐创作从此走上了大下坡路，再也见不到能超越毛时代的音乐作品了。

为这些年轻的乐手和指挥点赞！！！海外华人之光!

There are many performances of this piece of music by others. This is my favorite one. I have been listening to this version many times and still enjoying it very much.

前天刚刚看了嘎达梅林的电影，非常喜欢，今天听这个交响乐太好了。谢谢分享

[@MrXhxie]

很喜欢嘎达梅林

[@yingxiong-vi1tx]

交响诗加入广告后成了变奏曲，根本无法欣赏，白瞎了演奏家一番辛苦。

[@松子年]

太棒啦！

[@OrdenJust]

Brilliant!

[@xiangtian5385]

那个时代能创作出众多经典文艺作品，到了八九十年代此创作者要流落美国当佣人，为了开自己的作品音乐会。这几十年中国有几部经典文艺作品？好像没有。

Bravo👍
