An Exploration of the Inheritance and Innovation in Wu Na's Clarinet and Piano Adaptation of"Jasmine Flower"
The folk song"Jasmine Flower"originated during the Ming and Qing dynasties and has primarily been passed down in Jiangsu,Hebei,and Northeast China.Its melody is simple and sincere,imbued with rich cultural significance,symbolizing traditional Chinese virtues and the expression of pure emotions.In the context of globalization,the challenge of telling China's story through music and promoting Chinese culture internationally has become a central issue in the arts.Composer Wu Na's innovative adaptation of"Jasmine Flower"for clarinet and piano retains the melodic essence of the Jiangsu folk song while incorporating modern musical techniques and forms of expression.This adaptation not only showcases the innovative transmission of traditional culture in a global context but also extends the aesthetic vision of traditional Chinese culture embedded in"Jasmine Flower."Through its sophisticated musical structure and emotional depth,the work reinterprets Eastern elegance and restraint within the language of Western music,enriching its cultural connotations and enhancing its influence on the international music stage.This demonstrates the creative expression of traditional culture in contemporary art,reflecting a profound integration of cultural heritage and innovative value.
