Musician Xuan Tri and his new song about his hometown Ninh Binh

Professional composers as well as many music lovers inside and outside the province know young musician Xuan Tri for a series of songs that not only carry the strong folk music of the Northern Delta region but also the deep and passionate feelings of a native son who always conveys his deep love for the land of Tran Son Nam, rich in cultural, heroic and revolutionary traditions.

Song "Proud of Ninh Binh ".

Recently, right after the extremely memorable moment - the unification of three lands: "Nui Doi, Song Chau" - "Non Coi, Song Vi" - "Song Van, Nui Thuy", musician Xuan Tri (*) with his intense emotions and sharp creative ability promptly released to the music- loving public the song "Proud of Ninh Binh" with a beautiful melody and lyrics carrying a proud tone that passionately blends with the excitement and expectations for the future of the homeland of talented people, from now on officially bearing the affectionate name: "Ninh Binh".

The musical story of Xuan Tri expressed in “Proud of Ninh Binh” begins with a very “family” and intimate confession - “My hometown welcomes the day of return…” which seems to immediately draw us into the rhythm, into the flow of bustling, joyful emotions with the author about the extremely special and memorable event of “the day of return…”. With a fast, proud rhythm, the musical story called “Proud of Ninh Binh” by Xuan Tri becomes a convergence point of all the brilliant colors, the bustling tones of sound spread out in a vast, open geographical space where there are faintly and shimmering familiar, reminiscent places: “My hometown welcomes the day of return, bustling with joy, with flags and flowers. Across the Chau River, so peaceful, the song resonates with the song of you singing. We return in the vast afternoon, the fragrant scent of ripe rice. Who stood waiting at the Quan ferry in the sunset in the past, waiting for…”.

The addresses and affectionate names that have been associated for generations with the people of Tran Son Nam countryside (**): Hoa Lu, Song Chau, Do Quan, Ha Nam, Nam Dinh , Ninh Binh... suddenly appear brightly and naturally, smoothly in each tone, interval, sound, note, each musical score, lyrics..., and then soar into the listener's mind a sense of pride, excitement mixed with a bit of indescribable nostalgia... And then everything suddenly seems to calm down before a panoramic painting, capturing the vast view of clouds, sky, sea, forest, river, mountain... of the beloved countryside now sharing the joy of "welcoming the day of return" with the affectionate name - Ninh Binh: "Ninh Binh welcomes the dawn to every place, lighting up faith. The vast blue sea, the overlapping mountains, the green forests of the beloved homeland. Oh Ninh Binh, my childhood, the familiar and affectionate hometown voice. Beloved Ha Nam, Nam Dinh, today comes the day of joy together in the same house"...

Sublimated with the emotional flow of the event of "a happy day together", the rhythm and melody in the song "Proud of Ninh Binh" in the next verse suddenly has a very subtle "transition" with a climax full of enthusiasm, joy, and excitement: "Lighting up the smiles of the blooming era of innovation. Firmly walking side by side, the oath for the country, for the people. In the heart, there is always a warm pride of Hoa Lu for thousands of years...". Then, in the chorus at the end of the song, musician Xuan Tri very skillfully emphasized more deeply and more seamlessly the pride that goes along with the duty and responsibility that every child of the ancient capital needs to clearly perceive, which is to join hands and unite to build a prosperous and happy homeland and country, worthy of the heroic historical tradition of the nation: " Continue writing the golden history page to glorify the homeland of Vietnam. Singing the song of my homeland, Ninh Binh is so beautiful today. In the sunset, kites fly in the sky, proud of Ninh Binh"...

The interesting highlight of the success in the artistic technique at the end of the song "Proud of Ninh Binh" is that musician Xuan Tri skillfully and subtly used the realistic image of "a kite flying in the sky" to illuminate the symbolic image of a new position, a new direction of development that is very open and generous, conveying the trust, love and expectations of millions of people from Ninh Binh homeland.

Using a fast, urgent rhythm, proud of a neat, simple melody, rustic, close lyrics but rich in expression and appeal; skillfully and delicately choosing and filtering beautiful materials of history and culture imbued with the traditional identity of the homeland to blend with the youthful, radiant beauty of the rhythm of today's innovative, integrated and developing life... That is the outstanding success in the song "Proud of Ninh Binh" - a meaningful gift that musician Xuan Tri wants to respectfully give to his beloved homeland.

Talking about the song “Proud of Ninh Binh” as well as a series of songs about the homeland that he wrote and was enthusiastically received by the music-loving public, musician Xuan Tri seemed unable to hide his pride and emotion - the pride and emotion of a son who always yearns for his roots. He sincerely confided: “The flow of my homeland is always strong and unceasing in my heart. Therefore, I always wish, always be happy and always try my best to be able to show my gratitude to my homeland more and more through musical works with many different nuances and materials…”.

It is interesting to know that: before the release of the song "Proud of Ninh Binh", young musician Xuan Tri had also been very successful with songs about the land of Tran Son Nam (***) . Along with that, the singer couple Ngoc Ky - Pham Thuy Linh (who have successfully performed many songs by musician Xuan Tri) are also children of Ninh Binh. In particular, the team of collaborators who are working with him to mix and arrange the music to soon complete and officially release to the music-loving public the song "Proud of Ninh Binh" are also colleagues from Ninh Binh... Perhaps the most common point that musician Xuan Tri and his colleagues have in common is pride, love, and the desire to contribute to their homeland and country with musical works that are both rich in artistic value and have the potential for strong, positive energy and influence in real life.
