therefore, numerous musical instruments and genres intended for various purposes have been developed Vietnamese people use music to express their innermost feelings, to encourage themselves while working and fighting, to educate their children in good traditions and national sentiment, to communicate with the invisible, and to sublimate their aspirations for a happy life Music has always been a source of happiness to all men on the Earth Music comes in human souls through its melody and lyrics Definitely, each of us understands the humanitarian meaning undergoing these song titles, even when we have not heard their lyrics yet Life seems to be a colorful painting adorned with the complicated and copious net of human’s sentiments: happiness, sadness, meditation, recall, etc Literarily speaking, song titles are the crystallization of four items: lyrics, melody, emotion and experience When composing a song, the musician must think of the title he names to his mental product so that the title accumulates all of those crystals Vietnam’s musical heritage is so rich and diverse that each region- North, Central, and South- produces a unique music of its own Music presents traditional folk songs from each region, showcasing the music that singer An Thuyen discovered The songs are sung by professional vocalists, each representing their native region of Vietnam An Thuyen was given the State Award for Literature and Art in 2007 He was born in 1949 in the central province of Nghe An, he started playing a couple of instruments, including the traditional bamboo flute at the age of 11, and was the key member of his family music troupe An Thuyen joined the army in 1975 and became a musician in Military Zone 5’s troupe two years later In 1981 he enrolled in the Hanoi Conservatory of Music, the present-day Vietnam National Academy of Music After his graduation, he worked for the Military University of Culture and Art until he retired “The music of An Thuyen is like his own personality, which is always plain and natural,” said singer Trong Tan, who had worked with the late musician for years Folk music of Nghe An and Ha Tinh is what characterizes many of Thuyen’s songs such as “Ca dao em va toi” (The folk song of you and me), “Em chon loi nay” (I choose this way), and “Tho tinh cua nui” (Love poem of the mountain) An Thuyen’s childhood was linked with the folk songs and chants of his home province He could play many kinds of traditional Vietnamese instruments when he was 11 In his 20s, he wrote two of his favorite songs, which made a name for him: “I choose this way” and “Remembering Uncle Ho while listening to chants on the boat at night” Many of his songs are popular across generations, like “Beloved Hue”, “Folk song, You and Me”, “Heroic Vietnamese Mothers”, and “Marching to the Northeast” He also wrote a number of famous operas such as Kim Chi, A pair of chopsticks made of Kim giao wood, Sea of bitter love, and the rise of the nation He said “I grew up in the flow of folk music and I extract its quintessence to make my works modern, but full of folk rhythm.” That explains why his works often depict Vietnam’s peaceful countryside with images of the river, the wharf, and the boat Musician Duc Trinh, Dean of the Military University of Culture and Arts, has been Thuyen’s colleague for years He said:”Thuyen’s songs are easy to remember because their lyrics and melodies are blended with traditional folk songs His works are both academic and emotional He died at the age of 65 but he will always be remembered as a talented musician and general of the Vietnam People’s Army Major General of An Thuyen was a renowned musician, who had a great love for his home province of Nghe An He helped to train many influential musicians and artists in Vietnam Life is the way, the music is the life of the river is the river An Thuyen many hunches gentle, loving and filled with rich light mystical intelligence The river that flows by sea vessels cry in lullabies as heron wings, as the boat put, like bamboo and real dim moonlight Early music remains poetic soul source circuit An Thuyen young boy in the afternoon, the blue remains the same herd river bathing children when buffalo on Age His shepherds are like river bathing afternoon Immerse yourself in a countryside river water, he heard a lot of native tone Immersed in the countryside river he felt a lot of love of country An Thuyen music has become extremely familiar to audiences across the country a series of songs sounding sweet folk His songs are written up by the love of a headache hometown son always directed to the land where I was born An Thuyen music not too picky, but its academic really close, casual but extremely delicate His compositions, always go straight into the hearts of music by sweet melodies and lyrics in bright, poetic and special, it is the vibrations from the deep heart of the artist Each song is a picture of him, and in his musical heritage, An Thuyen paints colorful paintings and reflect a lot of the way of life “Ca dao, you and I" of song can also be considered as a song "heartbroken" about a love affair not to be together (Truong Chi and My Nuong) but it's not bleak, it makes people more beautiful life, enjoy life more, and appreciate life more The fragmented because of unrequited love, Truong Chi returned to the river, walking into the river to commit suicide, thanks to water, moon and stars witness Tragic love story ended there, but the pain, laments of Truong Chi still haunted forever An Sailing along songs Much later, musicians

Lyrics is as beautiful as a poem "Cut a half moon, I make a small boat = Cắt nửa vầng trăng, tơi làm đị nhỏ Double tight verses, verses double break paddle surfing = Chặt đôi câu thơ, bẻ đôi câu thơ làm mái chèo lướt sóng Take me, take me to the people I love "= Đưa về, đưa với người yêu Soothing, inspiring, uplifting but captivating is the first feeling when listening to this song Perhaps not the only one, feelings about their homeland, this time love is not waking up “Nao nao” pleased to hear, remember me The feeling of closeness that distant It is true that love the motherland blending with couples love to hear about how hard this but delimitation that Poetry rowing boat moon brought back sailing an ancient countryside, where the first flickers heels in a lotus pond, where the

whiteness, new poetry can paddle in the river there Just look at that river An Thuyen see the moon and the ball pops up with all they seem to shimmer and blend But as the waves is brandishing naked oar shape me, eyes smile dissolves into bright yellow moon, moon endlessly dissolves into water, melt water in the unfinished poem I was into folk green bowl, a folk song then So love forever floating boat Come take a mooring berth this country waiting for the moon Every moment of every hundred years awaiting moon, each day is a thousand years waiting for you, dear love Besides, it is a tails bar for a lifetime love An Thuyen sound like vague blur, like the river front is subtle, gentle A river flowing petal hearted soul hometown and country Nghe An away from home, far from the national ethnic
