Spreading the value of musician Pham Tuyen's musical heritage
The veteran musician Pham Tuyen is one of the typical musicians of Vietnamese revolutionary music, with a huge fortune of about 700 works. Composed on the evening of April 28, 1975, when hearing the news of our army advancing to Saigon, Nhu co Ba on the day of great victory was completed by musician Pham Tuyen in just 2 hours.
The song was recorded and broadcast in a special news report of the Voice of Vietnam on April 30, 1975, announcing the historic victory of liberating the South and unifying the country. The heroic melody and lyrics of "Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh!" have become a symbol of the spirit of great solidarity, aspiration for independence and national pride, resounding in the hearts of Vietnamese people through many generations.
To meet the need to use the song in non-profit activities and spread the cultural and spiritual values of the song, musician Pham Tuyen and her family decided to give Nhan Dan Newspaper the right to manage the draft and song copyright.
The event of awarding the copyright of the song "Nhu co on day of great victory" is part of a series of meaningful activities to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2 of Nhan Dan Newspaper, spreading patriotism, national pride and solidarity among all classes of people, while honoring the great contributions of musician Pham Tuyen to the Vietnamese music industry.
The song "Nhu co on day of great victory" was not only transferred the right to management and use, but was also sent into a cultural commitment - to preserve, spread and renew the common heritage in a solemn, standard and persistent way.
"Like Uncle Ho on a big day of victory" is a melody that Vietnamese people not only hear with their ears, but also touch with their memories.
Written on the night of April 28, 1975 under the yellow light at the top of the stairs of Khuong Thuong apartment complex, with only a pen and a small piece of paper, the song was able to resound at 5:05 p.m. on April 30, 1975 on the Voice of Vietnam, right after the historical news bulletin.
On May 2, 1975 alone, Nhan Dan Newspaper printed the entire song, opening the journey from the newspaper to life: to school yard, roof, celebration; crossing the border to Italy, the Democratic Republic of Germany, the Soviet Union, Japan, Tiep Khac... to tell the story of Vietnam in a language that everyone understands - the joy of independence and solidarity.
The audience calls "Nhu co on day of great victory" "a folk song" for very simple reasons: it rises right when people need a song to call out the name of common happiness; it is simple enough for everyone to sing, and accurate enough to speak on behalf of the community about the gratitude for Uncle Ho, for the generations who sacrificed; it lives long in the most simple places.
Therefore, the decision to give the right to manage and use the song to Nhan Dan Newspaper is a deep symbolic act: giving it to the community through a public institution representing the voice of the people.
The acceptance of Nhan Dan Newspaper is therefore not only a legal procedure, but a promise to preserve and promote, ensuring that the song is written in the right place, at the right time, and properly; respecting the original and historical context; at the same time, opening up appropriate ways of introducing to the young public so that the heritage is not fossil but continues to live in contemporary life.
Along with the work of protecting and regulating the right, "people's songs" will continue to be sung properly and in the right place, maintaining aesthetic qualities and the spirit of serving the Fatherland and the people.
Along with the decision to receive, Nhan Dan Newspaper affirmed that it will closely coordinate with IPCOM AnnGroup in the role of legal representative and intellectual property management unit, to ensure that the protection and governance of rights are carried out properly, while organizing the exploitation and dissemination of works according to the highest standards, in accordance with the spirit of serving the people and serving the Fatherland.
Thanks to that, the value of the song will be communicated more effectively, going deep into education and being widely present in contemporary life. After the ceremony, organizations and individuals who want to use the song for non-profit propaganda activities can directly contact Nhan Dan Newspaper.
Ms. Pham Hong Tuyen, daughter of musician Pham Tuyen, said: In our family, we often say to each other: Nhu co on day of great victory is a folk song. My father always kept in mind that music is only truly alive when it belongs to the community. Therefore, when we decided to give the entire right to manage and use the song to Nhan Dan Newspaper, that was how we continued that spirit: giving the work back to an institutions, where there was a mission and the ability to preserve common values, so that the song would continue, last and be brighter.
At the ceremony, Ms. Pham Hong Tuyen presented Nhan Dan Newspaper with a book of songs by musician Pham Tuyen, including many unused children's and bronze songs.
