牧民新歌 (笛子與室樂團) New Song of the Herdsman (Dizi & Chamber Orchestra) 1986
笛子與室樂團版本 (1986) 這首作品原本於1966年由簡廣易與王志偉創作，靈感來自他們在內蒙古伊克昭盟的生活，以內蒙民歌音調創作了這首以笛子與中國民族樂團為最初編制的作品。樂曲的引子描繪了寬廣遼闊的大草原， 藍天白雲下，牛羊成群草原閒靜、平和及快樂的生活，令人聽後悠然神往；。第一段抒情的慢板，內蒙民歌風味的曲調，傾吐著牧民對新生活的熱愛；第二段在羽調旋律上，再配上輕快的節奏，描述牧民騎著駿馬奔馳；接著第三段節奏放寬，旋律舒展，第四五段獨奏運用了花舌及飛指等技巧，形象類比駿馬的嘶嗚聲；最後在強烈的節奏音型襯托下進一步喧染了一忘無際的草原上人歡馬叫的熱鬧氣氛，在高潮中結束全曲。 樂曲原為笛子及民樂，這個改編版本由笛子獨奏家衛承發先生委約編曲，並由龢風室樂團於香港浸會大學會堂的創團音樂會中首演，由著名小提琴家、香港管弦樂團首席高治亞先生擔任指揮。 為笛子與管樂團而改編的版本於1989年完成。 Dizi and Chamber Orchestra version (1986) This work was originally composed in 1966 by Jian Guangyi and Wang Zhiwei, inspired by their life in the Yikezhao League of Inner Mongolia.
