The MV was filmed at many locations associated with national history and culture: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Vietnam Military History Museum, Hien Luong Bridge, Nha Rong Wharf, Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, Lung Cu Flagpole...

Each place name is not only a setting but also a symbol of memory, of pride, of the historical journeys that the nation has gone through.

In particular, the MV makes an impression with its grand scenes featuring thousands of extras, creating typical symbols of the country.

The image of the majestic parade is included as an emotional highlight, recreating the indomitable spirit, affirming the indomitable strength of the Vietnamese people.

Musician Do Hong Quan, Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations, said: “ Glory, oh Vietnam, there is something special in that musician Nguyen Anh Tri chose the shortest and most concise song genre, a form that crystallizes ideas, lyrics, and selected images. The genre he chose is very correct and very accurate.

The history of Vietnamese revolutionary music has predecessors who have chosen the form of composing short, easy-to-listen, easy-to-understand, easy-to-sing songs, for example Cung nhau di Hong binh by musician Dinh Nhu, Hanh quan xa by musician Do Nhuan, Nhu co Bac trong ngay vui dai vien by musician Pham Tuyen...

And today, we have Glory, Oh Vietnam by musician Nguyen Anh Tri. The impressive part of the song is the chorus: Pride of our Fatherland - Glory, Oh Vietnam , a line that we can sing right away after hearing, that is the first success.

The second success of the song is that the main theme chosen by the author is the word "unity" at the beginning of the song, creating a concise and complete atmosphere for the song.

Musician Nguyen Anh Tri has devoted much effort, nurtured and refined to create a song in the field of music - in addition to his great contributions in the medical field. This is a worthy work, a proud greeting of the Vietnamese literary and artistic community and musicians on the eve of the great national celebration.

Inspiration from love of country

Professor and Labor Hero Nguyen Anh Tri shared that he had cherished this song for many years. Initially, he wrote many versions but was not satisfied because they were too long or lacked inspiration.

Until one day, while taking a book from the shelf, a melody suddenly rang in his mind. In just 30 minutes, the song was completed like an explosion of pent-up emotions.

Interestingly, it is the simplicity that makes it powerful. The entire song has only six lines, the lyrics are simple but full of emotion.

The "oi" in the chorus is carefully chosen to be both a call and a sense of closeness and intimacy, so that each person who sings it feels like they are being called and urged to contribute to the Fatherland.

After composing the song, the author sent it to two familiar musicians to arrange. From there, the artists enthusiastically participated, everyone sang with pride, considering it a source of happiness. It was this consensus that urged musician Nguyen Anh Tri to decide to invest in making a large-scale MV.

The team overcame many difficulties, unpredictable weather, a strict schedule, and many soldiers and navy soldiers had to suddenly change their plans to carry out the mission. However, everyone tried their best.

Director Duong Lan Huong confided: “All the success and glory of the nation originates from solidarity. The MV wants to emphasize that only when the people are united, the country can be strong and develop.”

From children, students, to veterans, navy soldiers, border guards… all sang together, blending into the common image. It was that spirit that turned the MV into a “visual epic”, spreading strong national pride.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Anh Tri is known as a scientist and people's physician with many great contributions to the field of hematology and blood transfusion in Vietnam, and is also the founder of Medlatec Medical Group.

Along with his medical career, he was also the author of more than 220 songs, many of which praised the Fatherland and ignited patriotism.

He always said that he was not a professional musician, his compositions came from natural emotions, from his love for his country, from memories of his hometown Quang Binh, rich in revolutionary traditions. It was that love that became the driving force that urged him to write Glory, Oh Vietnam .

Released on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, the MV Vinh quang, oi Viet Nam has a sacred meaning.

It is not only a musical product, but also a tribute to previous generations who sacrificed for the country to have the glory it has today.

At the same time, the work is also a message to the young generation about the aspiration to rise up, pride and responsibility towards the Fatherland.
