This part of the music comes from the second half of a previously uploaded music demo.This part, being the climax and the most important part of the performance was considered a priority to produce and finalize a relatively complete version of the show, so that rehearsals for this part of the show could be brought forward.
This part of the music is still composed in a combination of frame and character instruments, with the string section’s staccato as the frame, and considering the cultural background of the mythological story of the Carp Leaping Dragon Gate, the character instrument chosen is the traditional Chinese Suona, which possesses a special, extremely loud and clear tone, and has a special auditory impact, which is able to push the whole story to the climax.
It is suggested that, Suona’s affordance that “thy songs were small pieces, but thy tunes sounded louder” makes it adept at conveying explicitly strong and straightforward emotions.(Wang, 2022). As a traditional Chinese instrument, the Suona often takes on the role of expressing emotions of great joy and great sorrow in music, and is often used in ceremonies, such as weddings or funerals, so the emotions and cultural colors conveyed by the Suona are extremely intense and prominent.
