Fireworks Music's Night:Spectators Excited with Tears   Splendid Fireworks Interspersed Sky

After the large-scale music fireworks soiree started last night, while the reporter watched the fireworks excitedly also adverted to the expression of citizens around me.

Many little children joy and gamboled, lots of adults were cheering up with applause. Some others were different. A man, about 50 years old, watched it for a while; there were tears to fall down slowly. After the reporter's kind enquiry, he coyly explained that not the freezing but the spectacular fireworks made him so excited and the dulcet music moved him deeply. He even said such as words "general sense" of art to the reporter, to try to tell those nice colors and sound what you saw and heard were the same effect to touch people.

Last night, just the reporter even could discern that this large-scale music fireworks soiree had
used "lofty music" like as John Stlawes'<Lardzki March>, Richard Stlawes'<Sunup>,the first chapter of <Chlatuthte said>,Heltht's <Jupiter>of<Planet Cento>, a paragraph of Tchaikovsky's <Cracker>,Chinese composer, Lu Qiming's <Red Flag' Song>and so on. They were absolutely all the famous chef-d'oeuvre from home and abroad.

Gao Junshan, the music majordomo of this soirée, introduced to the reporter that Harbin is the famous music city of China, the citizens had high level on enjoying music, as the first time large-scale music fireworks soiree was held in Harbin, music and fireworks were the two wings, any one of them couldn't be broken. This time, fireworks were the top-level in the world, so had to find the world-class music to match it. Fireworks, dazed the citizens;  Music, also moved the citizens

Gao Junshan Modified the Soiree Music Four Times

Gao Junshan, the former dean of Harbin City Children Art Opera, had been the founded-member of Sun Island Music Group, which was the first light music group in china, and Tianzhen, a very famous singer in China, made a name for herself from here. 

At the present time, Gao Junshant was the standing vice-president and art majordomo of Helongjiang Province Culture Industry League, had undertaken a great deal of culture projects as the art general planner like the "World Window"of Shenzhen. He gave a self-appraised for this large-scale music fireworks soiree's effect:" The satisfaction degree could be estimated over 60 percent". It's said that the former scheme was Jiangnan Folk music as major. Firstly, Gao Junshan considered the Harbin citizen's music attainment was rather profound, they were very familiar with occident music and had very centuries-old music tradition; Secondly, Harbin is located in the Northern of China, it should be embodied about location characteristic, and the other was that the kind of loving to see & hear and well-informed music were easy to be accepted by Harbin citizens. Under this guide-line, changed the music scheme by four times, he finally determined the scheme that occident music was as major and folk music was as accessorial just as was heard. He told the reporter, it took great pains on idiographic material choice of music, for instance, the song of<Snow of Saibie>didn't choose the singing-style of Peng Liyuan and Ying Xiumei, but the Black Duck Singing Combination's , because the latter was with the obvious rock style, young people was easy to accept it. And the <On Sun Island>was basis on the same reason, not chose the original singing-style of Zheng Xulan's, but the Dream's Illusion Singing Combination's. The whole music arrangement either novel & decent, or popular & loving to see and hear, and "Sunny Spring and White Snow" made the Harbin was worthy of the nice name of musical fame city at the same time.

Twinkle Warning Lamp  Police Protect Safety

It embodied the strong support and collaboration of all aspects through last evening’s large-scale music fireworks. According to the incomplete statistic, this activity was involved in 31 departments, we could know more just from the simple case.

There was a channel near the river, it's not too dangerous in day, but at any time it would be probably a fatal for life at night. "Li Changqing Party Member Service Team" took an all day to pull a 1270 meters alertness-line with red caution lamps beside this channel after got it the help from New Evening Paper. Except for it, there still had the polices to keep attention on it, did all their best to guarantee life safety of watchers.

During the fireworks soiree, there were ten beams of light of search lamp; It added the particular "charm" for this soiree.
