Prelude : Yellow River Rafter The first movement depicts the breathtaking chant of rafters as they battle furious waters, dragging their boats upstream with ropes on their backs. 03:25 II. Ode to the Yellow River This slow movement is an emotional tribute to the river that symbolises the Chinese people’s indomitable spirit. 07:45 III. The Yellow River in Wrath The third movement begins with the crips melody of a bamboo flute that paints the picture of a beautiful country full of riches and happiness. The melody takes a dark turn as the theme of invasion and war begins to ravage the country and enrage the people. 14:01 IV. Defend the Yellow River The battle call to defend the country stirs up the theme of this powerful finale aimed to inspire people to take up arms against foreign aggression. The injection of a solo by the traditional pita amid the Western orchestra dramatises the grandeur of galloping cavalry, further emphasising the spectacular urgency and power of a united people.
