The musician behind the success of "Fatherland in the Heart" - a concert of patriotism

On the evening of August 10, 50,000 spectators dyed My Dinh Stadium red with the red flag with yellow star, sang along to the songs performed in the program "Fatherland in the Heart" and immersed themselves in the atmosphere of a national concert with great enthusiasm.

Contributing to the success of "Fatherland in the Heart", in addition to the impressive performances of the singers, there is also the hand of Music Director Nguyen Huu Vuong with extremely impressive arrangements, creating a strong spread.

It is worth mentioning that Nguyen Huu Vuong only had 2 weeks to complete the huge amount of work including making music, recording, recording choirs, and creating backing tracks. He did not use the old arrangement but remade the entire arrangement of 23 works of "Fatherland in the Heart". In particular, the song "Writing the continuation of the story of peace " was widely shared online through the singing of Tung Duong. What made Nguyen Huu Vuong happiest was that although he did not intentionally prioritize making music for this song, "Writing the continuation of the story of peace" still went viral, simply because it was so good and released at the right time.

"Fatherland in the Heart" is a passionate program of Nguyen Huu Vuong. Having done many concerts, he is confident in capturing the audience's emotions, placing musical points to create an explosive effect. However, with "Fatherland in the Heart", everything is beyond the young musician's expectations.

The day before and at the same time as the show "Fatherland in the Heart" there were also many big music shows attracting young people with the participation of many famous artists, so Nguyen Huu Vuong did not think that "Fatherland in the Heart" would attract up to 50,000 spectators to My Dinh Stadium as the Organizing Committee initially expected, especially when the show took place on Sunday evening and many spectators had to go to work the next morning. However, everything that happened surprised Nguyen Huu Vuong when a large number of spectators came to the stadium very early. When the show was about to start, he was overwhelmed when he looked down at the stadium and saw only red. "It was a very emotional image," he said.

Nguyen Huu Vuong was even more surprised to see that the audience knew and sang along to every song. He thought that the songs that have been around for a long time in part 1 would naturally be known by heart because they have been memorized by many generations. However, the songs in chapter 2 with the perspective of the younger generation about the Fatherland such as "Continue writing the story of peace", "Shall win", "Proud melody"... Nguyen Huu Vuong was even more surprised because the audience knew them all. As a music director, Nguyen Huu Vuong tries to capture the audience's emotions, embedding his own ideas into the arrangements to push emotions and boost the audience's spirit, especially with shows taking place in stadiums like "Fatherland in the heart". What makes him happiest is that the audience can fully feel his musical intentions.

Although he heard that "Fatherland in the Heart" had sold out before it took place, Nguyen Huu Vuong did not think the effect of the program would be so big. He was happy because in addition to "Continue writing the story of peace" by Tung Duong, the song "Who loves Uncle Ho Chi Minh " is also becoming hot again thanks to the effect of the program.

"I do a lot of big shows and because I am the one who arranges and creates the music for the program, I know all the musical scripts in advance. Therefore, the emotions when the program takes place will often not be the same as the audience. But my emotions when the national concert "Fatherland in the Heart" takes place are the same as the audience. I myself also want to immerse myself in that atmosphere as a normal audience member, not as a member of the crew. I really got goosebumps and my emotions reached their peak. Looking down at the audience in the front row, I saw their eyes sparkling with emotion. That is the power of music, the power of the national spirit", said music director Nguyen Huu Vuong.

He feels the love for the country spread to every generation of audiences and even his wife and children - the people who have accompanied Nguyen Huu Vuong's life and career. Since the songs were still in the embryonic stage, his children have listened to them and memorized them. He said he wants to pass on to his 12-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter the love for their homeland through music.

"I want to use music to tell stories about the country to my children, to use music to help them understand the glorious history of the country. With "Fatherland in the Heart", I want to use music to spread to all generations. The most important thing is that children - the future generation of the country - must preserve the precious things of their ancestors. My children are the first to receive those messages and their peers are also exposed to the same things," said Nguyen Huu Vuong.

After "Fatherland in the Heart", Nguyen Huu Vuong will focus on completing the remaining programs about the country that will take place from now until September 2. After that, he will start the show Ha Anh Tuan will perform at the Dolby Theater (Los Angeles - USA) next October within the framework of the concert series "Sketch the rose". Nguyen Huu Vuong is proud to be able to bring Vietnamese music to the world with Ha Anh Tuan after having accompanied "Sketch the rose" to Australia and Singapore. "Performing at the Dolby Theater is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At this location, they control very carefully, not everyone with money will be able to perform here because it must be an artist of a certain caliber", he said.
