My Motherland
Originally written for the film Battle on Shanggangling Mountain, this song’s popularity has since outgrown and outlived that of the movie. Although the film is about the Korean war, the lyrics of this song do not make any explicit reference to it, which allows the song to be relatable not only to soldiers, but to anyone who is far from home and missing their motherland.
There are two distinct sections in this piece, and the difference between them should be clearly expressed to give the music its full effect. When performed vocally, the gentle and mournful verse is sung by a solo singer, who is then joined by a large choir for the faster, more bombastic chorus. Carefully observe all of the expression markings to give this gorgeous melody its full character.
