Dynamic Sheet Music
Xian Jian Qi Yuan(Legend of the Immortal Sword) is a core battle soundtrack crafted specifically by the grandmaster of Chinese-language film and television scoring, Mai Zhenhong, for the 2005 phenomenal xianxia drama Chinese Paladin . As one of the representative works by Mai Zhenhong, known as the "Father of Xianxia Music," this piece blends martial arts sentiments with philosophical reflections on fate through the collision of Eastern musical instruments and modern arrangement, becoming a cultural symbol that runs through the entire Chinese Paladin series.
Mai Zhenhong mentioned in an interview that the inspiration for this piece came from the "sense of speed and loneliness during sword-flying". Through rapid drumbeats and soaring string music, it externalizes the characters' struggles and awakenings amid martial arts world grievances. While retaining the "chivalrous spirit with tender feelings" of traditional martial arts music, it incorporates the layered texture of electronic synthesizers and symphony orchestras. Whether for drama fans revisiting the passion of "roaming the rivers and lakes with a sword" or music enthusiasts exploring Eastern aesthetics, Xian Jian Qi Yuan has, with its "combination of hardness and softness", become an insurmountable peak in the history of Chinese-language film and television scoring. It is not only a milestone in Mai Zhenhong's personal artistic career but also carries the collective memory of a generation's "xianxia dreams".
The sheet music of this piece is in the key of
A♭, and it can be played on anA♭-keydizi with the fundamental tone as5. However, in actual performances, it is more common to use a smallG-keydizi by transposing down a key.
