Recalling the reunion with the author of the Sad Hymn , Mr. Hong Son said: "Not long ago, I invited musicians Nguyen Vu, Bao Thu, and Manh Quynh to attend a press conference at the Khong Ten tea room. After that, I and some familiar singers went to Bao Thu tea room to play and sit with the musicians. I sang the Sad Hymn and saw musician Nguyen Vu sitting below nodding in satisfaction. Recently, I invited musician Nguyen Vu to the Timeless Stage (HCMC) to interact with the audience. I also invited him to join the Advisory Board of the Unique Voice of Vietnam season 2 contest with other veteran musicians. Singer Vinh Tuan also asked me to invite musician Nguyen Vu to Vinh Tuan tea room on the occasion of the upcoming death anniversary of his ancestors... But today I heard that he suddenly passed away. I won't be able to see him anymore...".
Memorial night for musician Nguyen Vu
Poet - musician Nguyen Huu Hong Minh received the news of musician Nguyen Vu's recent passing from music collector Phuong Chanh Hung. "Musician Nguyen Vu is a talented musician, a representative composer of Southern music and one of my dear and respected friends. I was also lucky enough to have his songs introduced on VTV3, VTV4 - Vietnam Television", he shared.
Remembering the memory of musician Nguyen Vu, poet Nguyen Huu Hong Minh confided: "I really liked and often sang the song Sad Hymn since I was a child, practicing learning the guitar and humming it. 'Do you remember that hymn?/ The Christmas we were together/ The sparkling stars in the sky were more beautiful than my eyes/ Your white shirt fluttered like an angel's wings/ Sweet lips kissing under the bell tower'... The lyrics of the song seem simple but are actually refined and haunting, as if they transcend space and time, and are interesting because you can observe and see them in any situation of life."

“I took a souvenir photo with him. The cool air of the last nights of the year was very special. I told Nguyen Vu that I was very happy to meet him because since I was little I have sung his Sad Hymn . But for some reason, sad hymns and first love often go together like a pair of 'categories' that are hard to let go of,” poet Nguyen Huu Hong Minh recalled...
To commemorate musician Nguyen Vu - author of the famous song Sad Hymn, on Saturday night, September 27, the Timeless Stage will hold a memorial concert for him so that everyone can sing timeless love songs of this talented musician.
