David Patterson of the Boston Musical Intelligencer commended Yazhi Guo, Leo Blanco, and Chi Wei Lo in his review Yazhi Guo's Formidable Reach. He considered it "an interested turnout of mixed Chinese instruments with classical and jazz pianists. Guo who held in esteem in his country, should find such recognition and honor far beyond." The reviewer recognized Guo's suona: "stunning brightness with a surprising immediacy, turn to nostalgic sweetness" "The double-reed horn, tuned outside of its traditional ways by Guo’s engineering ingenuity, accommodated a greater range of pitches allowing a rare contemporary expression." For classical pianist/improviser Lo, "His pianism, always alert and colorful, roamed the black keys of the instrument attaining a Chinese loveliness and grandeur reminiscent of Debussy." And Blanco: "Emotionally explosive, the Guo-Blanco hot duo encouraged pulsing claps from around Jordan Hall."

Yazhi Guo 郭雅志 suona 唢呐

Yazhi Guo,  received his Artistic Diploma from Berklee College of Music 2015,  is widely known as "THE"  best Suona player in Asia. He graduated from Beijing Central Conservatory of Music,  and was invited to stay on as an instructor for the next nine years.

The "Flexible Core"  invented by him in 1993 was a great contribution to Suona history. It solved the problem in Suona’s playing of complicated modulations and temporary inflexions. It allows Suona,  a folk instrument,  to play in large modern orchestras,  and greatly broadening the expressive force of this instrument.

In 1998,  he performed at the State Banquet welcoming President Clinton’s visit to China. Started in 1999,  he served as the principal suona of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and became the figured soloist. In April 2007,  Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra presented him in a large scaled sold-out concert titled "Guo Yazhi’s Wind Music World-Legend of Suona"  at Hong Kong Cultural Center Concert Hall.

In July 2012,  the Orchestra presented him in another concert titled "Guo Yazhi’s Wind Music World 2-Raising the Bridal Sedan and Welcoming the Bride" . His talent and deep expression was enthusiastically received with critical acclaim. Yazhi has appeared many times on CCTV. His performances changed people’s attitude towards the "folk"  instrument Suona. He is a versatile and charismatic player. Apart from the Suona,  he can also play saxophone,  clarinet,  piccolo,  flute,  pipe,  sheng,  ocarina,  cucurbit flute,  and even ‘leaf’.

NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

1. Rondo for suona and piano 回旋曲
   arr. by Yazhi Guo 郭雅志for suona and piano
   by Ma Sicong 馬思聰
   (4 min)

As China's first generation violin performer and composer, Ma Sicong holds a prestigues position in the history of modern Chinese music.  In 1937, the 25-year-old Ma Sicong composed this violin piece "The First Rondo"

based on the theme of a Suiyuan 綏遠 folk song "Farewell in Love 情別 ". The combination of art and virtrosity in this piece also represents the style of the many other works composed by Ma throughout his lifetime. 

Rondo No.1 uses the standard rondo form: A-B-A-C-A and an epilogue. This is also the most neatly written violin piece in early Chinese music history. It reflects Ma's rigorous and serious attitude in music making. In the main theme A, Ma transformed the theme of the original folk song into a joyful, dancing, and “violinish” tune; the first episode B expressed a humorous taste with a series of lively sixteenth notes phrases. The open chords of the violin are more radiant and powerful in the subsequent reappearance. The second part C is beautiful in both melody and singing, and the fixed tone pattern of the piano accompaniment is just like the group of camels in the wild west. At the second reappearance of the theme A, both the violin and the piano raised an octave, to become brighter with a hopeful light and heat.

Tonight's performance is a suona version arranged by Guo Yazhi.  The traditional suona cannot play music with complex tonal changes. However, Guo Yazhi would like to make a bold attempt using the suona “flexible core” invented by him to challenge this violin piece and broaden the the expressive power of suona.

作為中國第一代小提琴音樂作曲與演奏家，馬思聰在中國近現代音樂史上佔有重要地位。1937年，時年25歲的馬思聰根據一首綏遠民歌《情別》的主題，創作了小提琴曲《第一迴旋曲》。這是作曲家一生創作的眾多作品中，藝術與技巧完美結合的代表作。

《第一迴旋曲》採用標準的迴旋曲式: A-B-A-C-A和尾聲。這也是我國小提琴曲中寫得最工整的一首，反映出馬思聰嚴謹認真的態度。在主部主題A中，馬思聰將原民歌的主題歡樂化、舞曲化、提琴化了；第一插部B以一連串活潑的十六分音符長短句，表達出一種幽默詼諧的情趣；隨後的再現，小提琴開放性的和弦,更加光彩有力；第二插部C旋律優美，極富歌唱性，鋼琴伴奏固定的音型恰如塞外駝群；隨後是主題A的第二次再現，此時小提琴與鋼琴均提升了一個八度，樂曲變得明朗，蘊含著充滿希望的光和熱。

今晚演出將是由郭雅志改編的嗩吶版本，傳統嗩吶原本是無法演奏複雜調性變化的樂曲，不過，郭雅志大膽嘗試，使用了他發明的嗩吶活芯演奏技巧來挑戰這首小提琴樂曲，拓寬了嗩吶音樂的表現力。

2. Chinese Ancient Dances for suona and piano
   中國古代舞曲
   Suona version World Premier
   by Chen Yi 陳怡
   Ox Tail Dance 牛尾舞
   Hu Xuan Dance 胡旋舞
   (8 min) 

Co-commissioned by Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Virginia Arts Festival, La Jolla SummerFest, and Chamber Music Northwest in Portland, OR, the duet Chinese Ancient Dances was written for and dedicated to David Shifrin and Andre-Michel Schub for their national tour and the Alice Tully Hall concert on May 7, 2004, in which the complete work was given the world premiere. The premiere performance was dedicated to the celebration of the 70th birthday of Prof. Mario Davidovsky, one of Chen Yi's mentors at Columbia University. The work includes two movements: I. Ox Tail Dance; II. Hu Xuan Dance. The new version was adapted for the suona master Yazhi Guo and will premiere at New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall in Boston on Nov. 12, 2022.

It’s said that in the ancient time, there is an ethnic group called Ge Tian Shi. Three people would dance in slow steps with ox tails in their hands, while singing eight songs to praise the earth, the totem of the black bird, the plants, the grains, the nature, the heaven, the weather, and the flourishment of breeding livestock. I got my imagination from the gestures of holding the ox tails, and went into the atmosphere of composing the first movement Ox Tail Dance.

The second movement is entitled Hu Xuan Dance. There is a poem Hu Xuan Lady written by the famous poet Bai Ju-Yi in Tang Dynasty, who described the Hu Xuan Dance in detail. The energetic dance has continuing fast spinning gestures, introduced to China from the West in the ancient time. I reproduced the image in the second movement, the music is written vividly for the two instruments.

陳怡的《中國古代舞曲》原為單簧管與鋼琴二重奏曲，全曲分兩個樂章：第一樂章《牛尾舞》和第二樂章《胡旋舞》。此曲獲美國作曲家基金會的作曲委約獎金，由紐約林肯中心室內樂協會，佛幾尼亞國際藝術節和加州拉海拉夏季音樂節聯合委約並在2004年先後在三個城市首演。第一樂章是對遠古葛天氏的樂舞以三人為一組，操牛尾投足以歌《八闕》的想像。第二樂章是對白居易名詩《胡旋女》中所述西域傳入的胡旋舞之生動寫照。為嗩吶獨奏家郭雅志大師改編的新版本於2022年11月12日於波士頓新英格蘭音樂學院喬丹音樂廳首演。

3. El Negro y el Blanco for piano solo
   By Leo Blanco
   (5 min)

Based in a fiery Venezuelan cowboy-like traditional genre called “Joropo”, of the most popular and emblematic music from the plains of Venezuela. This fast tempo rhythm resembles the horses galloping through the extensive plains of Venezuela and Colombia.
- notes by Leo Blanco

4. The Great Desert and the Yellow River - III
   大漠長河 for suona and piano (2011)
   by Hao-Fu Zhang 張豪夫
   (16 min) 

The first version of this work for orchestra was written during the spring and summer of 2009. It was a commission by KlaraFestival Brussel International Music Festival 2009, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of the French Community of Belgium. The premiere took place at the Great Hall of Flagey Brussels, on September 1st, 2009, with Guo Yazhi, soloist, and the Symfonieorkest Van Vlaanderen, under the direction of Tang Muhai 湯沐海.

Subsequently, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra commissioned a second version of this work for Chinese orchestra. The premiere took place on July 15 and 16, 2011, at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall, with Guo Yazhi, soloist, and the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, under the direction of Tang Muhai .

The title consists of the first two words of each phrase borrowed from a famous poem by the poet, Wang Wei 王維, Tang唐 Dynasty, "From the vast Desert rises, straight, a solitary smoke; onto the great Yellow River falls the round Sun". 大漠孤煙直，長河落日圓

This piece is not a description or a musical interpretation of ancient poetry, but rather the expression of an inner image of the composer's thought and reflection on life. It is common practice to spread his own feelings and thoughts based on background borrowed from poems.

When a person faces the magnitude of the Desert, and endless rolling waves of the Yellow River, besides praises and exclamations on natural phenomena, a comparative inquiry into the meaning of life emerges. Through the ages, how many writers have written repeatedly about the same feelings, but it has always been answered without end.
- Notes by Hao-Fu Zhang 08-31-2011 in Brussels

5. POCONOS for suona and piano
   YEMEN for guanzi and piano
   PERU LANDO for piano solo
   by Leo Blanco (Premier for suona and guanzi 2022)
   (15 min) 

POCONOS (Premiere for Suona and piano)

A 2015 composition inspired on the music of Pigmy peoples in Africa. Often these communities get into a communal trance by the same music they all perform themself. Leo was inspired in this trance-like voices and wrote the Piano part, which functions more as a layer of Percussive rhythmic counterpoint, while the melody gives the sensation of been in a more relaxed pace, even though it is mathematically in synch with the piano part.  

YEMEN (Premier For guanzi and piano)

Composed in 2019. Inspired on the traditional music of this Arab-Western-Asian country (Yemen). As part of their folk music repertoire, Yemenis have traditional rhythms to which they dance naturally to, while for the common western ear conceives it as odd meter-based music. Written in 11/8 time signature, a very un-common rhythmic pattern for most of the rest of the world, I wanted to write this composition based on this folkloric rhythm of Yemen, while making sure that beauty and simplicity was always above any sensation of complexity or “odd-ness"

PERU LANDO  (Premier For guanzi and piano)

A composition 2010 based in Afro-Peruvian music, mixing the rhythms that Peruvians inherited from enslaved African inhabitants of Peru, with the airy and meditative texture of the Traditional Andean flutes of South American, here interpreted by Yazhi Guo on Chinese Guanzi.
- Notes by Leo Blance

6. Improvisation on a Theme of
    "Moonlight Over Spring River"
   春江花月夜 for piano solo, Chinese traditional ,
   arr. by Chi-Wei Lo 駱奇偉
   (5 min)

Originally a solo piece for pipa, Moonlight Over Spring River is one of the most famous Chinese traditional music. In this performance, this piece will begin in its piano version, and eventually merge into a structured improvisation. A background of soft repeating notes open the curtain, mimicking the plunking of a pipa, conjuring a quiet night on the spring river. They gradually speed up and become prominent, chasing away the lake fog. At the same time, a melody mimicking the bamboo flute plays on top, as if the winds carry through the tune of a gondolier. The contrast between the two instruments- one producing pellet-like short notes, and the other producing fluent drawn-out notes represent different shapes of the river in the springtime; blooming flowers, wrinkling waters, magnificent rock and trees….In the original, musical phrases are repeated over and over, seemingly chasing one another. As the improvisation begins, the elements described comes and goes, amplified and diminished, combining and disappearing, separately and at the same time, all to create the snow-looking moonlight, the fragrant river winds, the union of sky and water, the lonely sailing man, the longing girl, and the feeling of nostalgia for home……
- Notes by Chi Wei Lo

8. Dance of the Golden Snake 金蛇狂舞
   for suona and piano, Chinese traditional
   arr. by Yazhi Guo 郭雅志
   (5 min)

“Dance of the Golden Snake ” is a well-known Chinese traditional song by Nie Er 聶耳 based on traditional folk melodies. I have performed this piece many times with different arrangements including performing with Chinese traditional instrument orchestra, and jazz band even in style of  Jazz Bebop.  In this concert, it would be my honor to play it in Latin style with the amazing Latin Jazz virtuoso Leo Blanco. 
- Notes by Yazhi Guo

post-concert report on 11-12-2022 concert at Jordan Hall

中華表演藝術基金會上週六11月12日在紐英倫音樂學院喬頓廳 (Jordan Hall) 舉行 "大漠長河”音樂會。由有“天下第一吹”的美誉,被業界公認為世界上最好的唢呐演奏家之一的郭雅志,和爵士鋼琴家 Leo Blanco, 及古典鋼琴即興音樂家駱奇偉共同演出。波士頓音樂情報 (The Boston Musical Intelligencer) 資深樂評, 馬薩諸塞大學 (Univ. of Massachusetts)音樂教授和前表演藝術系主任，哈佛大學博士,對世界音樂頗有研究的 David Patterson,以 ”郭雅志威風八面 (Yazhi Guo's Formidable Reach)”作為標題將全場每一首作品做深入的評估, 並指出”郭雅志應享有更高的認可及榮譽”。在場三百多名熱情觀眾,包括許多著名的中國民樂音樂家,為此高水平,東西結合的成功演出, 都報以歡呼及掌聲,欲罷不能。

當晚的曲目包括馬思聰,陳怡,張豪夫,Leo Blanco等的作品,和中國傳統曲調重新編輯即興創作等。馬思聰,陳怡的作品,需要重新編輯,以適合唢呐和管子的演奏。加上 Leo Blanco 的拉丁風味及駱奇偉即興中國傳統名曲等, 每一曲都是對表演者的挑戰。演奏家在音樂會上所展顯的功力,令人嘆為觀止。

陳怡的《中國古代舞曲》原為單簧管與鋼琴二重奏曲。此曲獲美國作曲家基金會的作曲委約獎金，由紐約林肯中心室內樂協會，佛幾尼亞國際藝術節和加州拉海拉夏季音樂節聯合委約並在2004年先後在三個城市首演。為嗩吶獨奏家郭雅志改編的新版本11月12日於喬頓頓廳首演。

『大漠長河』更是由比利時皇家音樂學院終身教授張豪夫為郭雅志嗩吶量身定做。曲名借用了唐代詩人王維的著名詩句“大漠孤煙直，長河落日圓”每句的頭兩個字。表達了作者內心的觸景生情與人生思考。

爵士樂鋼琴家兼作曲家 Leo Blanco 特別為管子和嗩吶編排了三首作品。波科諾斯 (Poconos): 靈感來自非洲的音樂。葉門 (Yemen): 靈感來自這個阿拉伯-西亞國家的傳統音樂。秘魯蘭多 (Peru Lando): 以非裔秘魯音樂為基礎，混合了秘魯被奴役的非洲居民繼承的節奏。

駱奇偉重新編輯和即興創作中國傳統”春江花月夜”, 從鋼琴版本開始，最終融入結構化的即興演奏。輕柔的重複音拉開帷幕，彷若琵琶，讓人聯想到春江上靜謐的夜晚。它們逐漸加速，驅散湖霧。同時一段模仿竹笛的旋律在上面奏響，彷彿隨風飄蕩著船夫的曲調。兩種對比的樂器,一種發出彈丸狀的短音，另一種發出流暢的拉長音符，代表春天河流的不同形狀；盛開的花，波濤洶湧的水，雄偉的岩石，放大縮小，結合消失，分別團圓，天與水，孤航者，思念的，懷舊的……

樂評對馬思聰1937年原為小提琴作的“迴旋曲”說:“明亮驚人的嗩吶,可在瞬間自然轉調成為傷感柔和的聲音,並融合中西特色。這要歸功於郭雅志發明的“活芯”裝置,才能給與傳統的嗩吶如此的音域及現代化的功能。”

樂評稱讚駱奇偉“有鋼琴家的氣質,音色生動活潑,色彩豐富。在黑白琴鍵間飛行自如,有中國的柔情及西方的風味。令人想起德彪西 (Debussy)當年在尋找的東方五聲音階 (pentatonic)的素材。他與管子嗩吶的即興,溫和的開始到高昂的激動,嗩吶的一口長氣單音,持久不斷, 觀眾忍不住地歡呼鼓掌。”樂評說”Leo Blanco拉丁風味的鋼琴和嗩吶,熱情的二重奏曲在喬餐廳掀起陣陣的掌聲。”

郭雅志畢業於中央音樂學院。曾任香港中樂團嗩吶首席及獨奏家。1998年獲得纽约Promusicis International Award。他錄製有包含《江河水》《城市暢想》等十多張專輯。多張是全球發行。其中由台湾風潮音樂出版的“龍在吟”獲得第十八屆美國獨立音樂頒發的最佳世界音樂專輯提名。郭雅志獲得2013年香港年度最佳藝術家獎。2015獲得美國伯克利音樂學院藝術家文憑 (Artistic Diploma)。

Leo Blanco，委內瑞拉出生的作曲家、爵士鋼琴家和教育家。他的作品反映了他的南美根源,和與歐洲古典傳統交織在一起的特色。他在伯克利音樂學院指導爵士樂和世界音樂。是古典音樂和爵士音樂的重要作曲家。

鋼琴家駱奇偉, 從小就獲獎無數。畢業於茱莉亞音樂學院，是紐英格蘭音樂學院的博士生，主修當代鋼琴即興創作。2018年和Psychopomp 現代即興樂團發行了第一張網路專輯。2019年，紐英格蘭音樂學院將他放在該校官方的視頻中，作為傑出技藝的代表。
