AhDoe – Music as an International Language

Firecrackers, Chinese New Year goodies, lion dance, oranges and the festive songs kept appearing in my head this week. I have no choice but to pre celebrate Chinese New Year by creating this free piano sheet for everyone.

This year’s choice is “Have a Prosperous Year” (过一个大肥年). Performed by Jeanette Lin Chui (林翠), this is one classic oldies made popular by a movie in the 50’s.

The lyrics of this song is about what to do if the main character of this movie possesses 1 million. It’s really cute because you can feel that there’s so much hope in it, like the plan of founding a new hotel, a pawn shop, a grocery store etc. with the windfall.

And one things special about it is to think about the economy then and comparing it to today’s. 1 million is worth more than that today due to inflation.

I always say that time flies. As I age further, time flies even faster.

One of the spring-cleaning tasks is to remove all ornaments with dog symbols or pictures and replace them with the pigs’. And that is when I start to reflect what I have been through during the past one year. The surreal part is, I don’t seem to feel that one year has passed.

Anyway, hopefully 2019 is a better year for everyone.

What I have for you this year, is a piano sheet for Chinese New Year called “过一个大肥年” (Have a prosperous year). Stay tuned.

Listen to the demo:
