The Yumen Pass （玉門關） —— Hangzhou Youth Choir

Yumen Pass is an a cappella choral piece composed by Jin Chengzhi in 2010. After a decade of refinement and several revisions, it vividly portrays the brutal warfare on the Tang Dynasty frontier and the desolate aftermath, richly imbued with the artistic expressiveness of frontier works.

The piece is divided into eight sections: Yellow Sands, March Begins, Enemy Attack, Decisive Battle, Beyond the White Clouds, Sunrise, Reinforcements, and No Spring Breeze. With a strong sense of narrative and emotional impact, it depicts a Tang Dynasty frontier battle, from the march to encountering the enemy, strategic ambush, decisive combat, and sacrifice for the nation. Behind the scenes of flashing swords and bloody battles lies the grim reality that only three out of ten soldiers return from the frontier. 'Yumen Pass' is both an anthem to the frontier soldiers and an elegy for the souls lost on the battlefield.

《玉门关》是一首无伴奏人声合唱作品，由金承志于2010年创作，沉淀十年、改版数次，真切描绘了唐朝边关的惨烈战争与战后的寂寥景象，极富边塞作品的艺术渲染力。
全曲分为黄沙、行军开始、敌袭、决战、白云外、日出、援军、春风不度八个小节，以极强的叙事性和感染力，为我们描绘了一场唐朝的边塞之战，行军、遇袭、迂回伏击、决战、为国捐躯……刀光血影背后，是十人戍边三人还的惨烈。《玉门关》是一首对边塞战士的赞歌，更是一首对沙场亡魂的挽歌。
