Wang (191365438+February 28th ~1996 March 14), a China folk musician, is a heavyweight disseminator of western folk songs, and is known as "the king of western songs" and "the father of folk songs". 1934 graduated from the Music Department of National Beiping Normal University (now Beijing Normal University). 1938, due to the adaptation of the Xinjiang folk song "The Girl of Dabancheng", it formed an indissoluble bond with the folk songs of the western regions. Since then, he has lived in the northwest for nearly 60 years, making great contributions to exploring minority music and communicating music exchanges between the northwest and the mainland.
The works created and adapted by Wang are smooth and fresh, and still have high aesthetic value. Representative works include The Girl in Dabancheng, Dance Music for Youth, Lift Your Gait, Alamu Khan, Climbing Half the Moon, In that Far Away Place, etc.
Wang Dui's personality evaluation:
1, People's Daily Comment: Wang's contribution to the excavation of western folk songs can be described as a historic contribution. In fact, the form of most minority folk songs is not suitable for wide spread. The biggest feature of Wang's folk songs is that they have the characteristics of national music, which endows Chinese poetry with charm, beauty and catchiness.
2. China Producer News Network Comments: Wang took root in the northwest and devoted his youth, talent and even his life to northwest folk songs. Even in the face of misfortune and suffering, he has no regrets. There are hundreds of northwest folk songs, most of which were rescued, excavated, inherited, created and arranged by Wang.
