The XJTLU Chorus will conduct refined rehearsals for the mixed chorus piece What Color is the Dream of Summer? on Wednesday.

Composed by young composer Jin Chengzhi, this piece centers on the core theme of "youth and longing". Its melody combines gentle delicacy with bright and uplifting traits. In the mixed chorus arrangement, the clear and resonant soprano, warm alto, and rich bass (both tenor and bass) create a layered and vibrant harmonic effect. The lyrics, woven together with summer imagery such as "cicada chirps", "starlight", and "evening breeze", convey a cherished affection for the years of youth and beautiful aspirations for the future. It not only retains the purity of campus music but also embodies the expressive power of choral art.

The upcoming refined rehearsals will focus on key aspects such as harmonic transitions and emotional progression, aiming to make thorough preparations for the subsequent Freshers' Welcome Gala. At the gala, this piece will serve the dual functions of "emotional resonance" and "atmosphere building": On one hand, its fresh and healing style can quickly bridge the gap with new students, conveying the campus's warmth and inclusiveness through music. On the other hand, the rich layers of the mixed chorus will showcase the choir's professional competence. Meanwhile, through its core connotations of "dreams" and "growth", it will send heartfelt wishes about youth and the future to the freshers, becoming an important bond connecting the emotions of new and senior students at the gala.
