Dynamic Sheet Music
Xiang Si Yao(Distant Longing) was written by Xie Pipi and Xing Pai, composed by Luo Xuyang, arranged by Kaqimo Luoyang, and first performed by young Peking Opera actress Wei Yuhui (stage name Yuhui Tongxue), officially released on December 10, 2022. The song's creative inspiration stems from the thousand-year accumulation of the "acacia" theme in classical Chinese poetry, reinterpreting this eternal emotion through modern musical language. As a laodan role actress from the Tianjin Peking Opera Theatre, original singer Wei Yuhui integrates Peking Opera singing and Kunqu Opera recitation into the song. For example, the line "How could I know spring scenery is so splendid" directly quotes the classic lines from The Peony Pavilion , praised by music critics as "a model for contemporary translation of traditional aesthetics."
The song begins with a soothing piano prelude, accompanied by murmuring string arrangements to create a distant artistic conception. In the chorus, the rhythm accelerates, with alternating opera singing and pop vocals, allowing emotions to escalate layer by layer. Through the innovative form of "opera + pop", it successfully attracts young audiences to traditional art.
