The paper is devoted to a masterpiece of Chinese chamber-vocal
lyrics at the turn of the XX–XXI centuries — a collection of songs by
Lu Zai-yi, whose peak of creativity coincided with the era of open-
ness. The composer called his creation «I love this land - Collection
of artistic songs by Lu Zai-yi». Seven songs of the collection were
composed over the course of 20 years and became the result of crea-
tive search and refl ections of the author on the essence of the Chinese
art song. The fi rst impressions of the songs in the collection gave the
audience an association with the Western style of recitative singing,
with the embodiment of a romantic image system. But as time passed,
the songs showed the depth of refl ection of the national spirit in the
approach to the unity of singing — poetry — piano tone painting.
Keywords: Lu Zai-yi, vocal collection, vocal art, recitation, piano texture, symbolic
sound image, imitation.
