'Oh, Flowering Land' - A melody in gratitude to motherland, celebrating 50 years of national reunification

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), the art and political program Triumphant Song organized by Voice of Vietnam will introduce to the public a new emotional work: Oh, Flower in the Land - composed by musician Nguyen Thanh Trung.

This is a profound love song expressing love for the country and gratitude to the homeland, motherland, performed by Meritorious Artist Hoang Tung and arranged by musician Duc Thuy.

“Dat oi no hoa” is not simply a song celebrating unification, but a symphony of the artist's feelings and emotions for his country and roots. From simple images such as a bowl of rice water, the sound of the monochord, and folk songs, musician Nguyen Thanh Trung has painted a picture of his homeland rich in symbolism, filled with memories and aspirations.

The song "Blooming Country" performed by Meritorious Artist Hoang Tung.

With a lyrical, intimate voice, the work brings listeners back to childhood memories, with the image of a hard-working mother, with the sweet lullabies. The climax of the song creates a joyful, bustling feeling of a nation that has just won peace , depicting the spirit of solidarity through the strong refrain: We love our country . The ending is an explosion of emotions with the image of the country "blossoming" - a metaphor for prosperity, development and belief in a bright future.

Musician Nguyen Thanh Trung is famous for his ability to diversify musical genres from contemporary folk, pop to lyrical. However, deep in each of his melodies, the inspiration for the homeland is always an endless source. He shared that the song was written with the idea that the country is a living organism, capable of dialogue, capable of love, and is passionately called: Oh land, oh country.

The song's melody is written in the lyrical folk genre, a subtle combination of traditional music and modern pop music. The sound of the monochord throughout the song not only increases the depth of emotion but also symbolizes the Vietnamese soul – deep, resilient and rich in inner strength. The gentle rhythms and soft melodies evoke the melodies of Northern folk songs, Nghe Tinh folk songs, creating a unique identity with the soul of Vietnam.

As the performer of the song, Meritorious Artist Hoang Tung said: “ I am very in tune with this song, because it is not only music but also a stream of overflowing gratitude.” He has collaborated many times with musician Nguyen Thanh Trung and always admires the way this musician “puts his whole heart into every lyric, every note.”

Musician Duc Thuy's arrangement also played an important role in shaping the emotions of the song. With his delicate harmony techniques, he "retold" the story of the song not only through sound but also through the depth of the musical space, helping listeners feel the transformation of the country from the past to the present, towards the future.

The mark in Triumphal Song, Oh Flower in the Land will resound in part three with the theme of the Country after reunification, alongside songs like Vietnam, let's continue, Continue writing the story of peace... This part is like a symphony praising the achievements of 50 years of building the country, while at the same time arousing the desire for development in every Vietnamese person.

The song is part 3 of the program "Triumph Song".

The triumphant song consists of three parts: Hanoi hears the news of victory, Marching to Saigon and The country after reunification, recreating the sacred moments and the proud development journey of the nation. Oh, blossoming land is not only a new song but also an emotional highlight, connecting the glorious past with the prosperous present and the blossoming future of the country.
