  • The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development
    THE SAXOPHONE IN CHINA: HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT Jason Pockrus Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Eric M. Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.

  • Musical Practice of Wayang in Singapore
    ARTICLE Musical practice of Wayang in Singapore As with all definitions, there are problems of meaning, connotatively and denotatively. Wayang here refers to the numerous dialect-based musical theatres found in China with further sub-groups in each dialect tradition. However, this excerpt from the Straits Chinese Magazine in 1903 entitled Wayang Kassim seems to offer an alternative view of it being entirely Chinese: The Malay theatre has been engaging the attention of the public of all classes and nationalities for some time from the highest to the lowest in the land. His Excellency the Governor patronised one play in company with the U.S. Admiral and both were believed to have found much to please them. Personally, I do not think much of the Malay Theatre, indeed I do not expect any good of any kind from the Malays! If the Governor and a certain portion of the public found any pleasure at all from Malay theatres, it must be due entirely to the novelty of the thing, and perhaps also as an encouragement to the management of these theatres to move onwards and make some progress; as for any real intrinsic worth in themselves I am sure there is none. The Indra Zanzibar Theatrical Co., have certainly gone ahead of their kind and deserve recognition for their work; but what is good in them is not themselves but the Dutch girls whom they have called in to their assistance. I should personally wish to see improvements made in the Malays themselves, for then would all the honour and glory belong to them as of right.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

  • Teochew Opera: the Formation and Reviving Chinese Identity Under
    Panyapiwat Journal Vol.10 No.2 May - August 2018 315 TEOCHEW OPERA: THE FORMATION AND REVIVING CHINESE IDENTITY UNDER THE NETWORK OF THAILAND CHINESE COMMUNITY IN THE ASPECT OF ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL RELATIONS งิ้วแต้จิ๋ว: การสร้าง และฟื้นฟูอัตลักษณ์จีน ภายใต้เครือข่ายความสัมพันธ์ของชุมชนคนจีน ในเชิงเศรษฐกิจและวัฒนธรรม Ladda Prasopsombat Faculty of Social Sciences, Chiang Mai University Abstract The Teochew opera in Thailand prospered in the reign of King Chulalongkorn. There were many theaters set up by Chinese and Thai people. Additionally, the opera schools were opened as cultural exchange between Thailand and China. There were many theaters, especially in Chinatown and on Charoen Krung Road. Teochew (Chaozhou) is the majority population of Chinese residents in Thailand. Bangkok, for a period of time, used to be the center of the development of Teochew opera. In the communist era under the command of major general Phiboonsongkram, he wanted to control Chinese people in Thailand by announcing the replacement of the clan name with the surname for national security. Major general Phiboonsongkram applies Thai-Nationalism also closed down more than 300 Chinese schools. It is considered to be the suppression of Chineseness as prominent in Thai society. After the end of World War II, the communist Chinese Red Army was at war with the Chinese government. The democratic president Chiang Kai-shek forced immigrants of Teochew Chinese opera performers including opera owners into Thailand in 1952-1962. During this time, the opera had 80 troupes reflecting the prosperity of The Teochew opera. Until 1966, opera theaters in Chinatown were dissolved. Presently, there are 12 troupes of Teochew opera in Thailand performing in the Chinese shrines.

    1 INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC 44TH WORLD CONFERENCE 13 - 19 JULY 2017 BOOK OF ABSTRACTS 2 Kai Åberg (University of Eastern Finland) Finnish Romani songs – a product or a process? the constructivist perspective to the music of the Finnish Kaale Over the past 25 years among the Finnish Romani musicians (and elsewhere in Europe), I have sought various things in the empirical material of my research. The basic question, however, was already crystallized in an early stage of the research process: How are the elements of cultural meaning of the songs and the informants’ conceptions of the songs constructed? Because legacies may be constituted in a multiple and flexible way, the purpose of my presentation is not only to describe the songs or events of song culture, or to chart their distribution, but also to seek more complex ways of understanding and explaining them: How are the meanings of the Romani music constructed in different times and places? Although we can be partly freed from determinism by underscoring the role of humans in construction of their own reality, people should not, however, be defined as independent of their culture. Seen from a folkloristic perspective, the same could be said in other terms; even constructivists have not ignored that people belong to their heritage before heritage belongs to them. When speaking of a collective musical tradition we must not forget that underlying tradition there is a social group and people tend to act differently in groups than on their own. My approach is based on the notion of knowledge as socially constructed.
