"This... Director Tang, you didn't say anything to me in advance." Li Yange looked innocent. This time he came, he was completely unaware of the people. He thought he had chosen the orchestra, so he picked out all the bigwigs he knew. Unexpectedly, he came to take action and then listened.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and get the band members. Didn't you say that you have to perform in September? It's already May, and there's only four months to get in and rehearse, but it's actually very fast!"

Li Yange said: "It is because of the tight time and heavy tasks that I want to choose younger ones. I am as old as Teacher Wang. If something happens during rehearsals, it is not what you and I want to see."

"Well..." Director Tang nodded thoughtfully and said, "You are right, I didn't consider this. However, it's better to speed up your concert."

"Have Duduke's musician found?" Li Yange asked.

"I've found it. Dean Wu asked someone to ask. There are two musicians who are proficient in Dudu Ke at Xinjiang New Art Academy. Speaking of which, how did you know Dudu Ke this instrument? I didn't know before."

Duduke looks similar to a bamboo flute, a double-ado wind musical instrument. It originated in Armenia and is one of the oldest musical instruments in the world. It was once spread to Middle East and Central Asian countries such as Persia and Turkey, and later spread to the new area of ​​Xinjiang through the Silk Road. However, because it is too niche, almost few people have heard of this instrument.

Even Director Tang learned from Li Yange that there was such a flute called "Duduke".

Li Yange said: "I also listened to a foreign instrumentalist in the United States. I think this is very consistent with the song "Dream of the Hexi Corridor". When will those two people arrive?"

"It should be soon. The telegram sent the day before yesterday should be here in the next few days. You also know how far away is in Xinjiang."

It is normal to transfer people from the border and take a train for a day. The straight-line distance from Beijing to the border is more than 2,400 kilometers, which is still a straight-line distance. If you take the railway, you will be at least 3,700 kilometers.

There is no G7 Beijing New Highway to drive, so you can only take the green train.

But now the green train speed in the border is 32 kilometers per hour! Think about 3,700 kilometers, if you follow the average speed, you will have to take a ride until next year to arrive in Beijing.

Of course, the slow speed is just the one in the frontier to the inland, and after passing there, just take two trains.

After chatting with Director Tang for a few words, Li Yange hurried back. He had to pick out the candidate he had thought of before as soon as possible.

...

...

A few days passed in a flash.

Shanghai Opera National Orchestra.

"Yang Wei, the leader is looking for you."

In the rehearsal room, a man was playing the lute and suddenly someone called him.

"The leader is looking for me?" Yang Wei stopped in confusion.

"Yeah, in the office."

"Do you know what?"

"I don't know about this. You can go over quickly. I think it should be a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Yang Wei put down his pipa in confusion and walked towards the head of the group leader's office.

After knocking in the door, the leader saw that the person was coming, put down the documents in his hand, and said excitedly: "Yang Wei, Beijing Central Conservatory of Music has sent an invitation to be the pipa player of the orchestra."

"Yang Yin? Are they not a Pipa player?" Yang Wei looked surprised.

"I don't know, but this is a good thing."

The leader said, "Do you know Li Yange?"

"I know, he often sees news in newspapers recently."

"Well, he will hold a personal concert at the Lincoln Art Center in the United States in September, and you will be selected as a member of the orchestra. I have asked for leave for you. In the recent period, you will go over and rehearse well and earn a lot of money for our Shanghai Opera and National Orchestra!"

“Go to the United States?!”

Yang Wei didn't know much about the Lincoln Art Center, but when he heard that he was still in the United States, he jumped wildly in his heart.

This scene not only happened in the Shanghai National Orchestra.

Guangzhou Song and Dance Troupe, Jinan National Orchestra... Several ethnic orchestras from various provinces have received invitations from the Central Conservatory of Music.

Faced with the temptation of going to the United States to perform, no one could resist it. Their leaders waved their hands and let the green light go all the way.

...

...

May 15.

It was around nine o'clock in the morning.

In the rehearsal room, more than 30 orchestra members from all over the country gathered together.

"Yan Ge, this time I'm giving this old face and giving you the people on my list, but I've been transferred to you. Don't let me down this time at the Lincoln Art Center!"

Thinking of Dean Wu's previous words, Li Yange was moved and also under great pressure. This personal concert seemed to be Li Yange's business, but after he did this, it was not just a personal behavior.

Li Yange sighed in his heart, then looked at everyone and said, "Hello everyone, I am Li Yange. I am very happy that everyone can be invited to come. Two friends came from the border from thousands of miles away. I personally thank everyone very much. I originally wanted to let you have fun in Beijing for a few days, but now the time is tight and the task is heavy, so I will start to arrange the task now, I hope everyone will forgive me."

Although many of these more than 30 major ethnic bands and folk music performers selected from the school have not yet become famous, Li Yange knows very well that these people will be the leading figures of folk music in the next ten or twenty years.

One person smiled and said, "Teacher Li, just give the order. I'll come here this time and our leader will definitely listen to you. Otherwise, after I go back, I will have to write a 10,000-word review letter. I don't want to write it."

The oldest of the people here is about forty years old, and the youngest is twenty-six or seven, barely considered to be peers, so after hearing the man's words, they all laughed.

Li Yange smiled and then took out a bound music score from his backpack, handed it to each person one by one, and said, "There are a total of ten songs on it. We must complete the rehearsal within three months. During this period, everyone needs to work together, so the task is very heavy."

In addition to the five newly written by Li Yange, the other five are the complete versions of "Remembrance of the Forbidden City", "Dawn of the Heroes", "Moonlight Night of the Spring River", "Horse Mountains and Flowing Water" and "Three Rings of Plum Blossoms".

The last three poems are all Chinese classical national music, and it is also the three most representative national music that Li Yange has racked his brains and composed the classical national music after he has finished compiling the classical national music.

Originally, he wanted to write a few more songs, but considering that the time is tight and the task is heavy, everyone not only needs to rehearse, but also have to get through. Let’s set these ten songs for the time being.
Chapter completed!
