Taiwan: The "Falun Dafa Hao Symphonic Anthem" is Performed at the Changhua County Artists Association (Photos)
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Changhua, Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) On November 7, 2004, the Changhua County Artists
Association invited the Tianyin (meaning "sound of heaven") Chorus to
perform at the 7th Community Art Festival. The Tianyin Chorus'
members are all Falun Gong practitioners. When they arrived at the site, they
first helped the organizers to set up the hall and then demonstrated the Falun
Gong exercises on the plaza peacefully and serenely. There is a story behind why the Artists Association invited the Tianyin
Chorus. The members of the Artists Association were invited to the opening
ceremony of the "Chinese Contemporary Traditional Paintings and Calligraphy
Show" hosted by the Epoch Times newspaper. The beautiful dances and
graceful songs made a strong impression on them, so they invited Falun Gong
practitioners to attend this art festival. Falun Gong practitioners first presented the audience with a performance that
included poems, piano music, songs and traditional Chinese music, as well as
stories of practitioners' cultivation experiences woven into the music. Next,
the Tianyin Chorus performed the "Falun Dafa Hao Symphonic Anthem."
This work was composed by Belgian composer Peter Ritzen. The musician wanted to
raise awareness of the persecution of Falun Gong in China. The moving and tragic
song deeply moved the audience. Some residents watched the performance from the entrance of the hall. Perhaps
some of them also sensed the sincerity and solemnity in the song and felt the
beauty of Falun Dafa, and they asked about where to learn Falun Gong after the
performance. Among them was a girl who heard about Dafa and the performance from
a teacher at her school and came to ask for information. A secretary in the
community also heard of the performance from a practitioner and took a
truth-clarification CD. When the activities were ending, the Falun Gong practitioners thanked the
organizers. The organizing unit also thanked the practitioners for their
performance. The general secretary warmheartedly led the practitioners to the
calligraphy table and asked the calligraphy artist to write the characters,
"Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance," for them. The director and
staff members at the art center assured practitioners that during the art
exhibition, they would have Falun Gong introductory materials available to help
more people learn about Falun Dafa.
