“Yanggong Causeway” This contemporary musical work draws inspiration from the famous scenic spot Yang Gong Di on Hangzhou’s West Lake—a site rich in historical culture that embodies the harmonious blend of natural beauty and modern life. The composition skillfully captures the spirit of Yang Gong Di, perfectly merging the history of West Lake with contemporary vitality. It innovatively fuses electronic music with Chinese folk instrumentation, illustrating the boundless possibilities of musical expression. The piece opens with the resonance of MIDI and the guqin, creating a mystical sense of time travel while expressing reverence for traditional culture.
As the melody unfolds, the accelerating electronic rhythms symbolize the fast pace of modern society, leaving the imprint of the times upon the ancient Yang Gong Di. This musical approach not only paints a vivid picture of motion but also reflects the deeper significance of harmony between modernity and tradition.
At the close of the piece, the return of the pop piano theme signifies serenity after the bustle, suggesting that inner peace is our eternal pursuit. This work is not only an experiment in musical innovation but also a cleansing for the listener’s soul—guiding people to seek tranquility and reflection in a fast-paced world.
