The song "Music Dynamic Dunhuang: Splendid Music", which was created by Gansu Performing Arts Group after nearly two years, premiered in Lanzhou, Gansu on the 30th. The drama is based on the story of the world's first cave style immersive experience drama "Music in Dunhuang", with "Dunhuang Ancient Score" as the main content. It continues to tell the story of Bai Xin, a musician from the Western Regions, who was deeply inspired by Dunhuang mural music and dance, as well as Dunhuang ancient score in the scripture cave, and was fascinated by exploring the diverse fusion of Eastern and Western music. The core instrument of "Music in Dunhuang: The Joyful Music of the Prosperous Era" is the restoration of ancient musical instruments through murals such as pipa, lotus ruan, qiong, and panxiao. It includes 15 ancient music melodies such as "Pin Nong," "Urgent Hu Xiang Wen," and "Sa Jin Sha The director of the drama, Zhang Hua, said in an interview with China News Service reporters in Lanzhou on the same day that the drama is based on Chinese music, incorporates international music symbols, and through live performances by musicians, incorporates dance, poetry, and painting to showcase the magnificent music of the Central Plains, Western Regions, and Dunhuang. Zhang Hua said that the difference between this drama and "Music in Dunhuang" is that it is mainly performed by musicians, more like a concert, which facilitates the unfolding and innovative presentation of ancient music scores. The "International Tour Stage Edition" takes into account performances in different theaters around the world and innovates in stage art, lighting, and other aspects, presenting cave shapes in an abstract and simple way. "We plan to perform in Central Asian countries next year, and will also enter countries such as Japan and Singapore in the future." "The heart responds to the strings, and the hands respond to the drums. With a double sleeve lift, the strings and drums dance back and forth in the snow. Turning left and right is not tiring, and there is no other time for a thousand turns." "The rapid pace of the round trip is in sync, with the backhand on the waist like the moon." At the scene, as the performance kicked off, the graceful dance moves from Tang Dynasty poets Bai Juyi and Li Duan's "Hu Xuan Nu" and "Hu Teng Er" were depicted. Transcending thousands of years of time and space, he reappeared on stage and amazed the audience below. Zhang Yi, the leader of the Dunhuang Ancient Orchestra and pipa player, said that the play is inspired by Dunhuang ancient music scores, integrating elements of Western ragtag, Xinjiang Muqam, and Greek music into electronic pop music. The fundamental notes are extracted and combined with the scale of Dunhuang ancient music scores to create a new artificial scale for Dunhuang music. "In terms of arrangement, a large number of electronic music elements are used, integrating modern music styles such as reggae, rock, and pop to form a neoclassical Dunhuang ancient music that meets current aesthetics. We hope more young people will like it," (New Press)
