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.

It has been some time since Ah Doe did songs for the drama’s theme song. The chosen one is this famous drama called “The Flame’s Daughter (烈火如歌)”, starred by the popular beauty Dilraba Dilmurat (迪丽热巴) and Vic Chou (周渝民).

The classical Chinese songs normally applies lots of pentatonic chords in the music. With only 5 notes in scale, it is notably challenging to create a masterpiece with little to play with but rhythms. The arrangement does make lots of difference too, if you know the traditional instruments well and put them in the songs.

The opening theme song is “Ru Ge (如歌)”.
