Born in 1954 in Sichuan Province, He showed a talent for music from a young age. He entered the Sichuan Conservatory of Music in 1978 and later became a professor there. He Xuntian’s music is known for its deep connection to Chinese culture and nature. He often uses traditional Chinese instruments and incorporates the sounds of nature into his works. His composition “The Sound of the Wind” is a famous piece that imitates the sounds of wind blowing through bamboo forests. In 1999, He Xuntian’s music was performed at the Beijing Music Festival, which brought him national recognition. His works have also been performed in many other countries, including Japan, Germany and the United States. He believes that music should come from the heart and express the true feelings of the composer. He Xuntian continues to compose and teach music. He encourages young musicians to find their own voice and not to copy others. His motto is “Listen to the silence between the notes.” 根据短文内容，用完整的句子回答下列问题。 1. Where was He Xuntian born?   2. What is He Xuntian’s music known for?   3. When did He Xuntian’s music gain national recognition?   4. What does He Xuntian encourage young musicians to do?   5. What is He Xuntian’s motto?   七、阅读理解 The Sound of Nature in Music Many composers have drawn inspiration from nature. The sounds of wind, water and birds have been used in music for centuries. Some composers use real recordings of natural sounds, while others use instruments to imitate them. One famous example is Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, also called the “Pastoral Symphony.” Beethoven tried to capture the feelings of being in the countryside. The music imitates the sounds of birdsong, flowing streams and even a thunderstorm. Beethoven said that the symphony was “more a matter of feeling than of painting sounds.” Another example is the work of Vivaldi, an Italian composer from the Baroque period. His piece “The Four Seasons” describes the changing seasons through music. The “Spring” movement features cheerful melodies that suggest birds singing and streams flowing. Tan Dun, a Chinese composer, takes a different approach. He uses actual sounds of nature in his music. In his piece “Water Concerto,” he creates music using the sounds of water. He controls the speed of water flow to make over 50 different sounds. This creates a unique and immersive experience for the listener. 1. What is the “Pastoral Symphony” also known as? A.

Some are inspired by nature, others by their cultural heritage, and still others by their life experiences. Let’s look at three composers and what inspired them. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) was a German composer who is considered one of the greatest composers in history. Despite losing his hearing, he continued to compose music. His “Pastoral Symphony” was inspired by his love of nature. He spent a lot of time walking in the countryside and listening to the sounds of birds, streams and wind. Claude Debussy (1862–1918) was a French composer who was influenced by the Impressionist movement in art. He used music to paint pictures, just like painters used colours. He was inspired by water, moonlight and dreams. His famous piece “Clair de Lune” (Moonlight) was inspired by the beauty of the moon. Tan Dun (born 1957) is a Chinese composer who draws inspiration from nature and his cultural heritage. He grew up near the Liuyang River in Hunan and was fascinated by the sounds of water. He also combines traditional Chinese music with Western styles to create something new.
