On November 10, the new album "Tianwen" composed by famous composer Huang Tian, ​​produced and led by pianist Huang Yameng was officially released. Huang Tian has compiled 18 piano solos that he composed over 40 years into an album. The album contains rich melodies or elements of Yunnan folk songs, and Huang Tian's deep love for Chinese traditional culture can also be felt.

Huang Tian introduced that the name of the new album "Tianwen" comes from Qu Yuan "At the beginning of the ancient times, who preached it? The upper and lower parts have not been formed, how to test it?" Qu Yuan's thoughts, personality and wisdom inspired and cultivated The soul of the Chinese people, its works also give people a lot of room for imagination. Many of the works in this album are inspired by classic Chinese poetry, such as the tracks "Red Bean", "Song of the Cave Immortal", "Water Melody Song", "Where in the End of the World Are There No Fragrant Grasses", etc.

However, Huang Tian introduced that not all works depict stories in poems, but are created based on music. "For example, when I was creating "Where Are There No Grasses in the End of the World", I did not think of Su Dongpo's "Butterflies in Love with Flowers". Instead, I used the piano as a large guzheng to create it." Huang Tian said that at the end of his creation, he suddenly thought of I read this poem by Su Shi, describing the situation of hearing the "swing in the wall" outside the high wall, with the sound getting distant and distant, so I decided on the poetic name "Where in the End of the World Are There No Fragrant Grasses".

Since Huang Tian has lived in Yunnan for many years, he incorporated the folklore collected in Yunnan’s ethnic minority areas into his creations. This album also has many works depicting the customs and customs of Yunnan, such as "Wa Mountain Rice Pounding Ballad", "Lamu Drum" and "Peacock Lake". , in addition to "Tianwen" and "Blooming on the Cliff", which express his thoughts on art and life.

This album was performed and recorded by Huang Yameng, Huang Tian’s daughter and professor at the Central Conservatory of Music, together with 10 students. Huang Yameng has premiered works by Chen Qigang , Ye Xiaogang and many other famous composers. In her opinion, Huang Tian's works have traces of his training in the conservatory of music, as well as his years of living in Yunnan and the influence of ethnic minority music. "He likes romantic composers very much, and the characteristics of Liszt and Schumann's works can also be heard in his father's music." Huang Yameng said that Huang Tian's creations are full of life and sound carefree, so she I have always hoped to collect my father's piano works and make an album. During this recording, the song "Rain Alley" was performed by Huang Yameng's daughter Liao Mengjia. The participation of three generations of grandparents also made this album more meaningful.
