作品简介 About the Work:
我们感怀江南的悠久历史，咏叹江南的绿水青山，传承江南的人文精神，为江南文化这颗中华文明中的璀璨明珠而深感骄傲自豪！
受乐团委约，作曲家于2021年8月至2023年7月完成了这部多乐章交响组曲，通过叙事交响乐音画的创作手法，把具有江南地域元素的五个乐章主题贯穿其间，并将此五幅相对独立的音画有机的串联起来。追求新颖、独特地域特色、可听性与创新性有机结合，融昆曲、评弹、古琴、编钟等艺术形式与民族管弦乐队为一体，用丝竹交响描绘锦绣江南。
We cherish the age-old history of Jiangnan, admire the blue hills and green waters of the region. We carry on the cultural inheritance of Jiangnan and take great pride in Jiangnan culture, a lustrous pearl in Chinese civilization!
Under the commission of the orchestra, the composer wrote this multi-movement symphonic suite from August 2021 to July 2023. Employing the technique of narrative symphonic picture, the composer seamlessly weaves together five thematic movements, each infused with regional elements of Jiangnan, and links the five relatively independent movements into a coherent whole. With the aim of pursuing a harmonious fusion of novelty, unique regional characteristics, listenability and innovativeness, the composer integrates such art forms as Kunqu opera, pingtan, guqin and bianzhong with the Chinese orchestra, portraying the resplendent beauty of Jiangnan with the symphony of sizhu.
