"Farewell".
"Farewell" is a song composed by musician, art educator, and calligrapher Li Shutong in 1914. It is well known to almost everyone in China. Even if there are still people who have never heard of Li Shutong’s name, they must have heard of this song.
Li Shutong is not only the most outstanding representative of China's "school music and songs", but also the earliest creator to use national traditional cultural heritage as the theme of school music and songs. The music and songs he compiled inherited the fine tradition of Chinese classical poetry, and most of them were lyrical works that borrowed scenes from the scene. The lyrics were beautifully matched, the sounds were ups and downs, and the artistic conception was far-reaching and full of charm.
Introduction to Farewell
"Farewell" was written by Li Shutong, and the melody is taken from the American song "Dreaming of Home and Mother" composed by John Pound Otway. This work is similar to the long and short sentences in Chinese poetry. It is full of the elegance of classical poetry, but the meaning can be plain and easy to understand. The entire Chinese lyrics and melody complement each other and are so integrated that it is difficult to imagine that this is a song with re-written lyrics.
