Jia Shijun was born on September 4th,1930-201/and is a famous tenor. 1930, Nanjing native, originally from Shanxian County, Shandong Province. 1949 joined the army, 1956 joined the China * * * production party, and in the same year joined the China Musicians Association to engage in literary and artistic work in the army.
He is diligent in vocal music art, with sweet timbre, mellow and pure tone quality, clear articulation and rich and vivid expression. He sang a lot of songs for the first time, created a vivid image of music art and made great achievements.
The Creative Background of Return from Shooting
At that time, the creator of this song was preparing to write a song for the art performance of the whole army, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a four-sentence poem in a publication a year ago (1959), namely: "The sun sets in the west and the soldiers shoot at the target and return to camp. Red flowers on the chest reflect rosy clouds, and crisp songs fly all over the sky. "
At that time, this humble little poem was discovered by him. He felt that although this poem was very ordinary, its content could still be consistent with his own creative ideas. Because the performance was just around the corner and time was tight, I didn't have time to produce new works, so I studied poetry and revised what was contrary to "common sense". Make it more suitable for the singing format and rhyme of songs.
That is, change the "red flower on the chest" to "red flag on the wind". Because returning from regular shooting will not bring red flowers on your chest, nor will it be a triumphant return. The scene of "the wind shows the red flag" is much more spectacular. And changed the "clear singing" into "happy singing".
Tunes are like the wings of lyrics. Good words with beautiful songs naturally spread their wings and fly. With his profound knowledge of folk music, he learned the elements of folk songs in northern Shaanxi, and after repeated singing, it came naturally. The composition of "Return from Hunting" was sent to the whole army literary performance. Stand out in the works of the scholars and win the "first prize".
