1936 In the spring, Li Huanzhi was admitted to Shanghai Conservatory of Folk Music, where he studied acoustics as a child. 1937 devoted himself to anti-Japanese literary and artistic activities, and composed early songs such as Singing in Xiamen (Feng Yan's Ci) and Defending the Motherland (Ke Feng's Ci). 1August, 938, went to Yan 'an and studied in the Music Department of Lu Xun Art College. After graduation, he continued to study composition and conductor from Xian Xinghai in the advanced class. In the same year, he joined the China * * * Production Party, 165438. When he stayed in school to teach, he was deeply attracted by the unique charm of chorus. In particular, Xian Xinghai's four choral works, Production Chorus (Sek Ci), September 18th Chorus (Sky Blue Ci), The Yellow River Cantata (Guang Weiran Ci) and Ximeng Chorus (Fu Bingdai Ci), have had a strong shock and profound enlightenment to him, and have conducted performances of The Yellow River Cantata and the opera White-haired Girl for many times. Since then, Li Huanzhi devoted his life to chorus creation, exploring that "arrangement, creation and singing do not follow bel canto, but have a strong flavor of folk songs or ancient songs". From 1930s to 1980s, he composed three or four hundred chorus songs. For example, Song of Youth (Hu Qiaomu's Ci), Choir of China Women's University (Liu Yu's Ci), We Sing Together-Ode of the Party (He Jingzhi's Ci), March of Democratic Founding, Grand Counter-offensive Choir's Finale-Victory March, Our Country Stand Up (Hua Guan's Ci), and Jiao Song (both Yang Ci), Ode to the Red Flag (Gong Zhiwei Ci), Dongfanghong, October Wind in the North, Great Wall of Friendship (in cooperation with Kolyukov), Sending Lang to the Red Army, Three Bay Mao Guan Wai, Battle Song of Oil (in cooperation with Lv Yuan, Ren Yanfang Ci) and so on. 1In August, 957, in order to welcome the chorus competition of the 6th World Youth and Students' Peace and Friendship Festival held in Moscow, on the basis of the one-year mixed folk chorus, some young Beijing students who love folk songs were absorbed to form the "Beijing Youth Amateur Folk Chorus". Under the direction of Li Huanzhi and Wang respectively, the choir sang the adapted and developed northeast folk's Lover Lo, Yunnan's folk song Tea Mountain Ballad, Shanbei's folk song Sanlipu, and Guqin Su Wu, which won the unanimous praise of the judges and the audience and won the first prize with its rich and colorful national style, rich and authentic China flavor and frank and simple singing style. This is the first time that China Chorus has won an international prize. Among the entries, there are two works by Li Huanzhi, namely, the four-movement chorus suite "Tea Mountain Ballad" and the string chorus "Su Wu" adapted from the ancient piano piece "Han Jie Cao" (also known as "Su Wu Si Jun"). In order to write this work well, Li Huanzhi consulted Mr. Cha Fuxi, a master of guqin, many times, and took Mr. Cha Fuxi's singing tape back to learn to sing and recite music, and finally completed this chorus work faithful to the charm of the original song.
Li Huanzhi's wife, Li Qun, is a composer in Xiamen. They got married in Yan 'an on June 1942. Li Qun, together with Li Huanzhi, is also a prolific songwriter. His works include Mass Production, On the Peaceful Land of the Motherland (GuangWilliam. J Ci), Flying a Kite (based on the folk songs of Cangzhou, Hebei Province), Jasmine Flower (based on the folk songs of Changli, Hebei Province), Comfort the Red Army (based on the folk songs of Xingguo, Jiangxi Province) and Singing Mao Zedong (based on the ballad of the immortal in Beijing dialect) Li Qun, in particular, wrote many children's songs, except solo songs, such as Happy Festival (Hua Guan's words), We want to be a good boy like Lei Feng (Yang Yin's words), Movement for the motherland (Jin Bo's words), China, China (Qu Yao's words), Happy Team (Jin Bo's words) and so on. (Zhang Zhenzhi's Ci), songs of creation (Jin Bo's Ci), alas, the little moon outside the window (Yibing Ouyang's Ci), soprano solo and children's chorus "Cradle", etc. ["Daily Art" includes Li Qun and Li Huanzhi's song anthology Bird's Paradise. After the reform and opening up, Li Huanzhi devoted himself to exploring choral works based on ancient China songs. After Su Wu, he created the piano chorus suite Hu Jia Yin according to the eighteen beats of Hu Jia written by Cai Wenji, a poetess in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the Yuefu poem Four Seasons at Midnight written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, the female chorus Four Seasons at Midnight was written. According to the information of "Qin Wang Broken Array Music" sung by Kaiyue in Tang Dynasty, with male chorus, drums and piano, the "Qin Wang Broken Array Music" was written. 198 1 specially created a guzheng concerto "Fantasia of Miluo River" for the Asian Composers' Conference held in Hong Kong, based on the guqin music "Lisao". The music is simple, lyrical and sorrowful, which profoundly shows the lofty quality of Qu Yuan. At the beginning of 1987, at the invitation of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, based on the pianos of Li Ping and Gu Kuang, he composed piano, chorus and national orchestra.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Huanzhi served as the head of the Music Department of the College of Literature and Art of North China United University. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he quickly entered the music leadership, and served as the chairman of the China Musicians Association from 65438 to 0985 until he left office from 65438 to 0999. Except for He Luting, honorary chairman, there are only three presidents of the Chinese Music Association-Li Huanzhi's predecessor is Lu Ji, and his successor has always been Fu Gengchen. These three people, including Li Huanzhi, are not composers based on "classical music" or Chinese folk music. Only Li Huanzhi has several masterpieces of "classical music" and China folk music, which shows the development of "serious music" in China.
"Spring Festival Suite" and "Tianfeng Haitao" are one of the few large orchestral works in Li Huanzhi, but they are of high quality and can be called China music classics. There is also an opera "Autumn in a Foreign Country". From 16 to 80, Li Huanzhi never stopped composing. During his 65-year creative career, he experienced China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, the founding of New China and the reform and opening up. At every important historical stage, he has left a well-known classic works, whose themes span pop songs, art songs, operas, western orchestral music, national orchestral music and other fields. From 65438 to 0999, Li Huanzhi, who was suffering from terminal cancer and was deaf in both ears, used his last life and painstaking efforts to persist in completing the single-movement national orchestra "Poetry of the Earth". On March 9th, 2000, Mr Li Huanzhi died at the age of 8 1. Teacher Li has a good hand in handwriting, and the names of the Central National Orchestra and other units are inscribed by Teacher Li. In 2005, a statue of Li Huanzhi made by Li Weiqi was erected in Xiamen Music Square, with the theme of "Happy thoughts are like a tide, and a calm heart is like water", which shaped Li Huanzhi, who had just returned from a walk by the sea-sitting cross-legged on the reef, smiling at the distance and feeling the rhythm of "wind and waves". ...
Next to the modeling stone, there is a poem dedicated to Li Huanzhi by Lao She 1963:
The blue sea makes strings for the piano waves, daffodils play the flute, and the old dragon sleeps.
Beachhead has its own intimate friends, and it has composed a symphony.
