Sharing at the press conference introducing the Phu Quang – Do Bao music night titled Hanoi – Season of Change on April 3, pianist Trinh Huong said, before passing away, Musician Phu Quang made a will leaving all copyright music named after Nguyen Phu Quang for her children. And she was assigned the responsibility of managing the musical legacy he left behind. Her family always believed that it was It is an honor for the children to use Dad’s song.
Artist Piano Trinh Huong also shared that her family had no requirements for the program to meet any sound and lighting standards to be allowed to sing Phu Quang music. However, one thing she wants is for everyone to use her father’s work with respect: “This is a gift from my father to the children. When people love his work, they want to perform it with merit.” Please let your children know that the song will be sung in any program and not used indiscriminately. That makes us feel uncomfortable.”
Also according to artist Trinh Huong: “Copyright is never determined by money, but by respect. For example, in a charity program, it is completely possible not to consider money. But in a grandly organized multi-billion dollar show where the costs for singers’ sound and lighting are very high, the musicians’ copyrights also need to be paid the same value, not the copyrights being paid at a subsidized price like that. does not respect the work”.
With Phu Quang & Do Bao Music Night: Hanoi – Season of Change upcoming, the female artist said she looks forward to the newness that musician Do Bao brings .
“I’m also looking forward to the newness that Mr. Do Bao brings. I also know that sometimes new things are not easy for people to accept right away. Because after a few shows, my father also felt that his audience was quite conservative like him.
My father of course rarely wanted anyone else to touch the brainchild he had planned. image from the music until the sound is heard. So while he was still alive, this or that person could mix his music, but he always requested that the original harmony be kept intact.
You can mix more instruments, but the framework must be exactly like that. : “Your uncle’s house can add decorations but the structure must not be destroyed.” It will also be difficult for composers to experiment with his works.”
The eldest daughter of musician Phu Quang commented: “Even though I haven’t had much contact with Mr. Do Bao, I find him gentle, humble, pleasant and gentle… That’s why his music He is very beautiful, soft and romantic. As for my father, he has sharp edges, even in jokes, they are never just for fun, there is always a hidden meaning in them.
So my father’s music is the same, it’s not gentle, it’s sharp, everything goes to the very bottom, every sentence and every word must have torment in it. If we write about winter in Hanoi, for example, Do Bao’s winter might be more beautiful and gentle, while my father’s might be more bitter and cold.
Sympathize with the artist’s comments. Trinh Huong, musician Do Bao said: “In the years 1990-2000, I had many opportunities to work with him in event performance that he organized when he was the band leader and partly coordinated. Musician Phu Quang has a sharp wit and many personality traits that are very different from mine, including many good things that I have observed and learned. I understand more or less and really appreciate his musical life, his successes as well as the way his music has lived on in the hearts of the public.”
