"Come in February"
Lyrics: Seike?
Music composed by: Xian Xinghai
Good spring comes in February ,
Every household is busy farming.
Looking forward to a good harvest,
donate more grains for the army.
Spring is coming in February, and every household is busy farming.
He who sows melons will reap melons, and he who sows beans will reap beans.
Whoever sows hatred will suffer disaster!
Step up production, step up production,
p>
Work hard, work hard!
We can survive this most difficult stage,
The victory of the counterattack is right in front of us!
< p>Step up production, step up production,Work hard, work hard!
The old and the young are at the rear,
It is also good to have more labor Anti-Japanese War!
Extended information:
The song "Come in February" was composed in Yan'an in March 1939. It is a song in "Production Cantata" composed by Xian Xinghai. It was well received by the audience when it premiered in Yan'an.
The whole song has a typical four-sentence structure of starting, succession, turn and combination. Although the structure is short and simple, the rhythm arrangement of each phrase is different. The first two sentences use the same falling sound (Zhengyin) to form a relationship of succession and echo.
The third sentence uses two consecutive syncopated rhythms, an ascending melody, and different falling tones (corner tones) to play a distinct turning role; the last sentence uses the reappearance of business sounds and transitions. The syncopated rhythm of the sentence, as well as the arrival of Gongyin, etc., play the role of conversion and bring the whole song to a perfect end.
