Greetings graceful viewers,
and welcome to
Enlightening Entertainment.
Living a peaceful life on
the Heaven-like prairie
where the beauty of nature
merges with the arts,
the Mongolians are
natural-born singers
and dancers.
Through singing and
dancing, they tell stories
of their glorious heritage
and express their
deep affection
towards Heaven, nature,
and all beings.
Today, please join us
as we present enchanting
musical performances
from Inner Mongolia
by the greatly talented
and famous
Inner Mongolia National
Song & Dance Troupe
of Hohhot, China.
The Mongolian Long Song
is a genre of
Mongolian folk song,
featuring slow rhythms
and long melodies that
give a meditative feel.
With twists and turns,
Long Song singers
express themselves freely
about their
innermost feelings.
Today, Long Song
has become Mongolia’s
precious cultural heritage
and is considered to be
the “living fossil
of pastoral music.”
Now, let’s enjoy
a Mongolian Long Song
titled “The
Golden-Winged Larks.”
The golden-winged larks
singing in the sky
One who most cares for us
O my most cherished parent
Next, we will listen to
another Mongolian
Long Song, titled
“Patriarch Genghis Khan,”
which praises the founder
and emperor
of the Mongol Empire,
Genghis Khan.
In the beginning
of the song, we can hear
a special style of singing
created by
the Mongolians,
Khoomei, or throat singing,
which is inscribed on
the Representative List
of the Intangible Cultural
Heritage of Humanity
by the United Nations
Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO).
Khoomei performers can
create multiple pitches
at the same time
using their vocal cord.
The holy spirit of
Patriarch Genghis Khan
Is the great wisdom and
blessing from the Creator.
In this miraculous
Mongolian Plateau
We will have eternal
peace and happiness.
The fragrance
of the Mongolian prairie
permeating in the air
has inspired lovers
throughout the ages.
The vast grassland,
blossoming flowers,
blue sky and white clouds
are all the silent witnesses
of tender love.
Next, let’s enjoy a song
titled
“I’ll Go See the Prairie
with You,”
sung in Chinese.
Because we have affinity
in this life
I now have a wish.
In the season
when the grassland
is most beautiful,
I’ll go see the prairie
with you
To see the green grass
To see the blue sky
And the gently flying clouds
With my longing
I will go see the grassland
with you
When the sun is bright
I will go see the grassland
with you
Let’s keep the love
in our hearts
Mongolian singing
is often accompanied by
Morin Khuur,
the Horse Head Fiddle.
Carved like a horse’s head
on the top,
the Morin Khuur
can be played as
a solo instrument as well.
In the following piece,
the sounds
of the Morin Khuur
portray the picture
of thousands of horses
running over
the vast grassland.
Mongolian music is loved
wherever it is performed
around the world.
Also, we feel very happy
in our heart.
We really love it very much.
The two performers
have said
what I would like to say.
Finally, wishing you
well-being and happiness,
all Mongolian people
who live in every corner
of the world.
Our appreciation,
brilliant Mongolian artists
of the Inner Mongolia
National
Song & Dance Troupe,
for sharing and preserving
such beautiful music
and charming dances.
May the distinguished
Mongolian performing arts
flourish as a beacon
of beauty and grace
in our world.
