How is Singing the Motherland conducted?

Pay attention to your position. When commanding, the position of the two feet is generally as follows: the left foot is in front and the right foot is behind, forming a "rest" posture. The distance between the feet is not more than shoulder-width apart, and this standing posture is easier to grasp the center of gravity;

The distance between the hands and the body is about 15 to 45 cm, not too close to the body, and the range of motion of the hands up and down is usually no higher than the eyebrows and no lower than the waist. When conducting a large choir or when there is a special change in the song, the range of movement of the hand can be beyond the head or below the waist.

1. Start. "Singing the Motherland" is a two-beat type, with the starting beat on the second beat, the first beat as the preparatory beat, and the first measure as the weak starting measure. At the beginning of the chorus, the first beat should be played in the air (cue beat, the chorus does not sing), that is, the hands should be from the top down to the lowest point, and the starting time should start from the lowest point, at this time it is the second beat.

Take care to raise your hands clearly and firmly to give a clear cue to the choir.

2. During the march of the song, the movements of the hands and arms should be appropriately prompted according to the strength, weakness, speed, slowness, legato and staccato of the beat, which should be reflected in the light, heavy, slow, urgent, soft, steady, decisive and amplitude of the movements of the hands and arms.

3. Of course, all this must be based on the accuracy of the action beat, and it should be noted that in the whole march of the piece, we should always adhere to the urgent principle that the shape and round strong beat movements are carried out consistently from top to bottom, and the weak beat is carried out consistently from bottom to top.

4. End. The end of the piece of music often leaves a deep impression, and it is necessary to conduct the end of the piece well, so that the whole work can be fully expressed. When directing the closing phrase, the movements should be decisive and precise, so that the full emotion runs through to the last note.

The closing note of "Singing the Motherland" is extended to three and a half beats, and when the conductor sings this note, he should focus on the foundation of the previous beat, with the left hand not falling down and reversing, the palm side of the hand to the upper right, and the arm raised upward, making a "support" gesture, and conducting the chorus's extended note. The right hand directs the choir to sing the last three beats, and then quickly and violently retracts (both hands are retracted to the upper part of the chest at the same time) before the last half beat (empty beat), and the piece ends forcefully.

Conduct with staccato conducting! Because it's in the style of a march!

Singing the Motherland" is composed and composed by Wang Xin, which is a famous patriotic song.

Created in September 1950, coinciding with the first anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, watching the lively scene of the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind and the sea of flowers in Tiananmen Square, Wang Xin's mind repeatedly brewed, "Singing the Motherland" was completed in one go on the train back to Tianjin. After its release, the song was widely sung because of its bright and majestic rhythm, and has now become the ceremonial song, opening or closing song of various major events in China, known as the "second national anthem".

On the eve of the first National Day, Wang Xin meticulously copied the original manuscript of "Singing the Motherland" and happily sent it to a certain newspaper for publication———. Unconvinced, he was not discouraged, and engraved the song by himself and distributed it to passers-by. In the spring of 1951, the song was transmitted to the Beijing Workers' Xiangzhen Choir, and in the summer, Beijing Radio ** recorded the choir.

On the eve of the National Day in 1951, Wang Xin received a call from Beijing, and Comrade Sun Shen, secretary general of the Chinese Music Association, asked him: "There is a song called "Singing the Motherland", which is widely circulated among the masses, and it is said that it came from Tianjin Dressing Banquet Mountain, Lao Wang, you are the chairman of the Tianjin Music Association, please help find out who wrote this song, please send the lyrics and songs quickly, **The Ministry of Culture is urgent! Wang Xin smiled

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. It's a coincidence, you've found the right ——— the lyrics and songwriters are me! ”

In September 1951, "People's Literature" and "People**" in the hall successively published the lyrics of "Singing the Motherland", and then the **Orchestra sang "Singing the Motherland" on **Radio**, and since then this song has spread at home and abroad.
