Editor's review

"Walking with Love" is not a traditional music textbook or a mere collection of scores; it is more like a cultural record of the times meticulously planned by the Shanghai Musicians Association. Centered on the core idea of "love," the book gathers outstanding vocal works that have circulated widely in recent years and that reflect social positivity and genuine human feeling. As the most authoritative and representative professional music organization in Shanghai, the Shanghai Musicians Association has applied selection criteria that combine rigorous artistry with broad popular appeal. The pieces included not only have beautiful, singable melodies but also emphasize themes such as great love, dedication, unity, and hope in their lyrics, elevating the book beyond a simple collection of musical works into a sound archive carrying collective emotion and the spirit of the era. For music lovers, the book offers an authoritative reference to full, standard scores; for singing groups or music educators, it is a rare and thematically focused high-quality repertoire. Its deeper value lies in the way it systematically sorts and preserves, through music, the social emotional resonance of a particular period, giving it a degree of documentary significance. Reading (or using) this book is not only about learning music but also about revisiting shared emotional memories through melody and feeling the power of art to bring people together.

About the author

上海音乐家协会 Author

The Shanghai Musicians Association is a professional music society based in Shanghai. Two works are attributed to it in this catalog: National Spirit: Guzheng Commissioned Works from the 35th Shanghai Spring International Music Festival and Walking with Love, both related to music creation and performance practice. The former centers on guzheng works commissioned for the Shanghai Spring International Music Festival, presenting new arrangements and compositions for a traditional Chinese instrument on the contemporary stage; the latter, judging by its title, likewise takes music and emotional expression as its thread. Because public information is limited, its founding date, organizational structure and specific functions cannot be confirmed. The existing works nonetheless suggest that the association plays an organizing and liaison role in promoting the creation of Chinese music and in building platforms for publishing and disseminating new works. Its common catalog category is film and television, which may relate to music video and stage projects it has been involved in.
