    Printer-Friendly Receipt https://www.musicalamerica.com/news/printarticle.cfm?sid=41537&ci... Wu Man's Pipa Spotlighted with Taipei Chinese Orchestra By Clive Paget , Musical America November 12, 2018 Wu Man, pipa player extraordinaire and founding member of the Silk Road Ensemble, was named Instrumentalist of the Year by Musical America in 2013. Five years on, her Carnegie Hall mainstage appearance with the internationally acclaimed Taipei Chinese Orchestra was both a chance to hear why, and, with the orchestra presenting four representative works in their U.S. premieres, the perfect introduction to the repertoire. Forgive the digression, but for those unfamiliar with the sound and makeup of a “Chinese Orchestra,” here’s a crash course. First, there are a number of key similarities with their Western cousins, chiefly the use of cellos and double basses to create the lower string sounds, but also the inclusion of harp and a common deployment in the percussion of timpani, cymbals, and tam tam. Then there are the similar but different instruments, like the bamboo flutes (the zhongdi and the dadi ), and an array of Chinese percussion, some of it familiar perhaps from “exotic” 20th-century scores like Turandot . Lastly, there are the uniquely Chinese instruments. An array of plucked lute-like instruments that include the pipa , the liuqin , the zhongruan, and the daruan (defined by their different sizes and different numbers of strings) sit alongside hammered and plucked dulcimers and zithers like the yangqin and the guzheng , which add to the characteristically glittering mid-range sound of the orchestra. At the apex of the sound sit the erhus , a phalanx of gentle two-string fiddles (held on the lap and bowed low down) that essentially take the place of violins and violas.

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.

  • An Example with Chinese Musical Instruments
    TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology – January 2011, volume 10 Issue 1 APPLYING COMPUTER-ASSISSTED MUSICAL INSTRUCTION TO MUSIC APPRECIATION COURSE: AN EXAMPLE WITH CHINESE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Shi-Jer LOU National Pingtung University of Science and Technology [email protected] Yuan-Chang GUO National Kaohsiung Normal University [email protected] Yi-Zhen ZHU National Tung Kong Maritime & Fishery Vocational High School [email protected] ﹡ Ru-Chu SHIH National Pingtung University of Science and Technology [email protected] Wei-Yuan DZAN National Kaohsiung Marine University [email protected] ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the effectiveness of computer-assisted musical instruction (CAMI) in the Learning Chinese Musical Instruments (LCMI) course. 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.

While the instrument has a history of nearly a millennium, its solo repertory in concert performance developed only in the past 100 years or so, drawing upon traditional Chinese material. The enormous influence of Western culture arrived with the open door policy of China in the late 1970s gave rise to new trends of Westernization in the Chinese instrumental music. Erhu, due to its similarity to the violin, underwent great transformation, particularly in its playing technique and repertory on the concert stage. During the decade of 1980s, erhu musicians began to perform arranged violin repertoire. Pieces like Zigeunerweisen and Carmen Fantasy became standard erhu concert repertoires, and also as a symbol for the virtuoso of erhu playing. Other influences include an imitation of the violin to perform standing up, allowing greater bodily movement and stage presence.

  • The Far East
    1 Gallery Guide St. Louis, A Musical Gateway: THE FAR EAST Asia, the world’s largest continent on earth, is surrounded by the Pacific, Arctic, and Indian Oceans. Featured in Rooms 1 & 2 of the display are musical instruments from the East Asia geographical region. This region shows the musical intersections influenced by travel and trade among the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Mongolia, Japan, Tibet, and South and North Korea. This exhibit is the third in a series that celebrates St. Louis’ multicultural heritage communities. It features rare and beautiful instruments of the Far East and Oceania drawn from the Hartenberger World Music Collection of Historical Instruments Dr. Aurelia & Jeff Hartenberger, Karrie Bopp, Dr. Jaclyn Hartenberger and Kevin Hartenberger. 2 The Far East The musical traditions of the Far East serve to demonstrate important aspects of the social, spiritual, and aesthetic values of their cultures of origin. These traditions have also been shaped over centuries, as people traveled by land and sea along trade routes spanning vast territories. Merchants and travelers exchanged silk and spices as well as languages, ideas, music, and musical instruments. By the eleventh (11th) century musical instruments from the Middle East and Central Asia could be found both in Europe and in parts of East, South, and Southeast Asia. In ancient China, musical instruments were divided into "eight sounds" — based on the materials used in their construction: Metal (jin), stone (shi), silk (si), bamboo (zhu), gourd (pao), clay (tao), leather (ge) and wood (mu). Today, instruments associated with this early classification system are reconstructed for use in ensembles that perform in museums and historical buildings.
