It has a long round neck of hardwood attached to a hardwood resonator, usually covered with snakeskin. Its steel strings are tensioned between the tuning pegs at the neck's upper end,VICO and the lower edge of the resonating box. The speaking length of the string extends from a nut at the peg end of the neck to a bridge placed upon the resonator. The horsehair bow, rosined on both sides, is inserted between the strings, and the strings are played one at a time, virtually never together. The player fingers the strings not by pressing them against the neck but by placing them on the strings lightly, to create different speaking lengths. Tuning d1 - a1 Scordaturas and Extensions 1 1 1 1 In the Erhu db - ab and c -g scordaturas are possible, but an oversize instrument may render lower pitches better. Erhus with extensions are being made, but they are not yet common (as of 2004).

This database consists of 16 expert and novice evaluation terms, including five pairs with opposite polarity. In addition, a material library containing 72 samples (including 37 Chinese orchestral instruments, 11 Chinese minority instruments, and 24 Western orchestral instruments) and a 54-sample objective acoustic parameter set were developed as part of the study. The method of successive categories was applied to each term for subjective assessment. A mathematical model of timbre perception features (i.e., bright or dark, raspy or mellow, sharp or vigorous, coarse or pure, and hoarse or consonant) was then developed for the first time using linear regression, support vector regression, a neural network, and random forest algorithms.

The CAMI software for Chinese musical instruments was developed and administered to 228 students in a vocational high school. A pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design with three classes designated as the experimental group for the “CAMI in LCMI,” and another three classes as the control group for the “traditional narrative teaching approach.” Collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics analysis, ANCOVA, and structural equation modeling (SEM) by SPSS 10.0 for Windows and LISREL 8.52. The results indicate that (1) the CAMI approach is superior to the traditional narrative teaching approach, (2) students show a positive perspective on the use of CAMI for instruction in the LCMI course, (3) software interface and content design have positive and direct influence on students’ learning attitude and self-awareness learning results, (4) learning attitude has a positive and direct influence on self-awareness learning results, and (5) the CAMI in Chinese musical instruments software is satisfactory assistive material for teachers in the LCMI course.

    JIAO, WEI, D.M.A. Chinese and Western Elements in Contemporary Chinese Composer Zhou Long’s Works for Solo Piano Mongolian Folk-Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs. (2014) Directed by Dr. Andrew Willis. 136 pp. Zhou Long is a Chinese American composer who strives to combine traditional Chinese musical techniques with modern Western compositional ideas. His three piano pieces, Mongolian Folk Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs each display his synthesis of Eastern and Western techniques. A brief cultural, social and political review of China throughout Zhou Long’s upbringing will provide readers with a historical perspective on the influence of Chinese culture on his works. Study of Mongolian Folk Tune Variations will reveal the composers early attempts at Western structure and harmonic ideas. Wu Kui provides evidence of the composer’s desire to integrate Chinese cultural ideas with modern and dissonant harmony. Finally, the analysis of Pianogongs will provide historical context to the use of traditional Chinese percussion instruments and his integration of these instruments with the piano. Zhou Long comes from an important generation of Chinese composers including, Chen Yi and Tan Dun, that were able to leave China achieve great success with the combination of Eastern and Western ideas. This study will deepen the readers’ understanding of the Chinese cultural influences in Zhou Long’s piano compositions.

  • Norway China World Music Concert Tour
    Proposal for A Sino-European Musical Cultural Exchange Programme Liu Nian Arts Studio Beijing, China Introduction The cultural exchange between countries of the European Union and P.R of China is becoming an increasingly important dimension in Sino European relations. However the people of Europe and China still have rudimentary knowledge about each other’s cultures. One of the most important aspects of culture is music. Europe was the cradle of the birth of classical music, symphony orchestras and many of the great world composers are from the EU member states. Many of these are well known to the Chinese public. European folk and more contemporary world music however is not as well known to the Chinese public and the people of Europe have a very rudimentary idea of traditional Chinese Music. European folk music is usually thought of as the music of traditional peasant societies, rooted in work and in fixed customs. It is rural music; taught, without being written down, from one generation to the next. However, folk music is affected by, and interwoven with, art music and popular music, of which the different genres are often hard to distinguish. There are numerous times that folk music is sung and played. Folk music is sung as lullabies, and while cooking or weaving. It is played while dancing. Folk music is sung while working by sailors, lumberjacks, shepherds, and farmers. As folk music was not traditionally spread through written notation, many songs have been lost. However, an incredible amount of folk music does exist in written form and folk music archives exist.
