Der koreanisch-chinesische Komponist Jeong Yul-Seong (정율성, 鄭律成; 1918 - 1976))
Als ich vor einem guten Monat an einer Konzerthalle in Kwangju (im Südosten Südkoreas) vorbeikam, entdeckte ich dort ein Plakat zu einem "Jeong Yul-Seong - Festival".
Trotz meines Interesses für koreanische Musik und Musiker war mir Jeong bisher unbekannt und begann dann wieder zuhause über ihn zulesen.
Als 19-jähriger verließ Jeong das japanisch besetzte Korea und ging nach China, wo er als junger Musiker und Komponist bald Beachtung und Anerkennung fand.
Er komponierte das jetzt noch in China bekannte "Lied von Yenan" und "das Lied der Volksbefreiungsarmee".
In Korea wird gesagt, dass Jeong Yul-Seong in China viel bekannter sei, als in Korea.
Deshalb eine spezielle Frage an "Blauer Apfel", ob er oder seine chin. Bekannten jemals von 鄭律成 gehört haben?

Far from the same old Seong
The National Symphony Orchestra of China gave a concert on Sunday night at the Beijing Concert Hall to commemorate the late Korea-born Chinese composer Jeong Yul Seong (1914-76). The performance kicked off with PLA March, which was composed by Jeong when he joined the Eighth Route Army in Yan'an in 1939.
The first half was conducted by Shao En, featuring music selected from Jeong's operas, while Chinese soprano Lei Jia and the Choir of National Symphony Orchestra performed arias and choruses. The second half was conducted by Yan Liangkun. The program included choruses composed by Jeong to accompany the poem by Chairman Mao Zedong as well as two orchestral works by Korean composers to commemorate Jeong.
On October 19, the concert will also be played at Gwangju, South Korea to open the Gwangju Jeong Yul Seong International Music Festival, which will run till October 21.
Jeong was born in Gwangju in 1914 and came to China in 1933. He learned to play piano, violin and vocal in Nanjing and Shanghai and joined the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in 1937. He composed many songs when he was in Yan'an in 1937 to 1939 and one of them, Song of the Eighth Route Army was named PLA March in 1988.
Jeong went back to South Korea in 1945 and returned to China in 1950. Then he worked as resident composer of the Central Song and Dance Company and the Central Symphony Orchestra (now the National Symphony Orchestra).(aus: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2007-0...099115.htm )
