The program recreates 80 years of the history of the Vietnam People's Army through music, combining elaborately staged performances and authentic stories from soldiers.
The "Melodies of Pride" program made a meaningful return on the evening of December 7th with the theme "The Song of the Soldier Resounds Forever." This is not just a music program, but also a profound artistic journey, paying tribute to over 80 years of the glorious history of the Vietnam People's Army through authentic melodies and memories.
From the outset, the program established a solemn space where music became a bridge between the past and the present, honoring generations who dedicated their youth to the nation and encouraging soldiers performing their duties in peacetime.
Highlights from "The Heart's Command"
One of the most impressive performances was "Orders from the Heart." The stage was elaborately set in a cinematic style, recreating the tragic atmosphere of the war years. The participation of actors Le Hoang Long (as Sen), Phuong Nam (as Ta), and Colonel - Meritorious Artist - Director Dang Thai Huyen from the film "Red Rain" created a moving epic, evoking the courage and unwavering loyalty of generations of soldiers.
The interaction with representatives of the forces participating in the A80 parade also left a deep impression. For the first time, the audience heard stories from soldiers who directly participated in special missions, such as Lieutenant Colonel Tran Van Vuong and Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Hoang. Their stories about the rigorous training behind the impressive moments vividly portrayed the image of soldiers in peacetime: steadfast, responsible, and full of pride.
The flow of music connects generations.
The musical segment of the program is structured as a blend of memory and modernity. Familiar songs like "Uncle Ho is Marching with Us" and "Where Are You Tonight?" are given a fresh twist through sophisticated arrangements. Meanwhile, the song "The Homeland Calls My Name" clearly reflects the spirit of the times through the performance of the OPlus group, rapper Phong Windy, and a children's choir.
The presence of People's Artist Quang Thọ and People's Artist Hồng Hạnh further enhanced the solemnity and powerful impact of the musical atmosphere, connecting the emotions of many generations of audiences.
Authentic glimpses into the lives of soldiers.
The program not only focuses on the heroic aspects but also explores the humane and relatable facets of military life. Stories about the bond between soldiers and civilians on the border, images of Vietnamese peacekeeping forces carrying out international missions, and the heartwarming confessions of young soldiers help to portray the image of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" as authentic and full of compassion.
Concluding its nearly 80-minute broadcast, "The Song of the Soldier Resounds Forever" left a profound impact, evoking feelings of gratitude, national pride, and faith in the next generation. Once again, "Melodies of Pride" affirmed the power of art in preserving memories and evoking noble values.
