song?

“Beo dat may troi” is a Vietnamese folk song. The song is talk
about a girl whose lover had to go far away and she missed
him so much.
There isn't any fully research about the accurate original of
the song but according to the information on almost
Vietnamese websites, it is a Quan Ho Bac Ninh's Song Artistic
characteristics
The song's climax is when the girl staying alone at night,
waiting for her lover. Even day or night, the girl keeps restless
waiting, expecting. The drumbeat describes the time passed
rapidly, makes the listeners feel emotional because of the
lyrics.


The lyrics of the song are very homely, close with the
Vietnamese coutryside, using art imagines such as
water-ferns, bird, fish, cloud, moon, wind, and so on. It
makes a deep fond remembrance scene. The old
countryside was described clearly. It feels like space and
time mingled as one. The lyrical flows smoothly.
Especially, the title "Beo dat may troi" is a familiar
proverb which is often used on Vietnamese farmer's
life.  Touching and easy to penetrate into hearts is an
important characteristic of this song.


Beside the original song with lyric, Dang Ngoc Long musician has also composed a

guitar solo version and it achieved great success not only in Vietnam but also
abroad. In addition, this song was stored at German National Library and
became one of a compulsory term of The National Guitar Contest in Berlin,
German


Dang Ngoc Long is a famous composer. He is the first Vietnamese wins the International Guitar Award (1987). He
brought traditional music to the world. His works and transcriptions for guitar often mix the European modernity and
Vietnamese traditional melody. It has been successful in Europe and many countries in the world. Beside showing
through lyrics, he also composes for guitar solo inside and outside the country . “Beo dat may troi” is an example.


When he was interviewed about the best way to spread
Vietnamese music in 2011, he said “ In October this year, we
will have a performance of international contestants and they
will perform “Beo dat may troi”. They must prepare before the
contest, subscribe and show us what talent they have. All the
contestants from the U.S, France, Australia, even from Japan
must perform this compulsory exam. When people exercise
one of Vietnamese songs, they must learn the origin of all
that. As far as I think it is the fastest way to spread the
Vietnamese music to the world."
