  • A Review of the Origin and Evolution of Uygur Musical Instruments
    2019 International Conference on Humanities, Cultures, Arts and Design (ICHCAD 2019) A Review of the Origin and Evolution of Uygur Musical Instruments Xiaoling Wang, Xiaoling Wu Changji University Changji, Xinjiang, China Keywords: Uygur Musical Instruments, Origin, Evolution, Research Status Abstract: There Are Three Opinions about the Origin of Uygur Musical Instruments, and Four Opinions Should Be Exact. Due to Transliteration, the Same Musical Instrument Has Multiple Names, Which Makes It More Difficult to Study. So Far, the Origin of Some Musical Instruments is Difficult to Form a Conclusion, Which Needs to Be Further Explored by People with Lofty Ideals. 1. Introduction Uyghur Musical Instruments Have Various Origins and Clear Evolution Stages, But the Process is More Complex. I Think There Are Four Sources of Uygur Musical Instruments. One is the National Instrument, Two Are the Central Plains Instruments, Three Are Western Instruments, Four Are Indigenous Instruments. There Are Three Changes in the Development of Uygur Musical Instruments. Before the 10th Century, the Main Musical Instruments Were Reed Flute, Flute, Flute, Suona, Bronze Horn, Shell, Pottery Flute, Harp, Phoenix Head Harp, Kojixiang Pipa, Wuxian, Ruan Xian, Ruan Pipa, Cymbals, Bangling Bells, Pan, Hand Drum, Iron Drum, Waist Drum, Jiegu, Jilou Drum. At the Beginning of the 10th Century, on the Basis of the Original Instruments, Sattar, Tanbu, Rehwap, Aisi, Etc New Instruments Such as Thar, Zheng and Kalong. after the Middle of the 20th Century, There Were More Than 20 Kinds of Commonly Used Musical Instruments, Including Sattar, Trable, Jewap, Asitar, Kalong, Czech Republic, Utar, Nyi, Sunai, Kanai, Sapai, Balaman, Dapu, Narre, Sabai and Kashtahi (Dui Shi, or Chahchak), Which Can Be Divided into Four Categories: Choral, Membranous, Qiming and Ti Ming.

  • Study on the Professional Qualities of Suona Musicians in National Orchestras and Chamber Music
    2020 International Conference on Education, Management, Business and Economics (ICEMBE 2020) Study on the Professional Qualities of Suona Musicians in National Orchestras and Chamber Music --Some Thoughts on Suona Professional Teaching to Cultivate Students' Playing Accomplishment Lei Yan Middle School Affiliated to Tianjin Conservatory of Music, Tianjin, 300171, China Keywords: Suona musicians, National orchestras, Chamber music Abstract: For a long time in the past, in the field of suona professional education, education experts and students have paid more attention to the improvement of performance techniques and the control of the details of music processing. It can be said that contemporary suona art has passed from generation to generation of predecessors and experts and all practitioners. Under the efforts of learners and learners, it has been perfected. However, the problem that gradually emerged with the performance practice is that not all professional colleges of Suona majors can meet the performance requirements of ethnic orchestras or chamber orchestras. A considerable part of the professional music colleges' Suona professional graduates may have excellent performance skills, but in orchestras with teamwork as their primary task, various problems may occur that affect the performance level and performance of the work. The reason is that these performers have not paid enough attention to the improvement of their professional qualities in the professional learning process, so that the professional qualities are slightly missing. In the current current music vocational education process, the discussion or cultivation of playing ability has received enough sufficient attention, but for another important factor that determines the future career height of students-the professional quality of professional musicians, but there is no very systematic and standardized research or explanation.

  • The Program Today Is Inspired by the Elements Fire and Metal, Which Represent the Seasons of Summer and Autumn in Chinese Philosophy
    The program today is inspired by the elements Fire and Metal, which represent the seasons of summer and autumn in Chinese philosophy. Taking inspiration from the transition of late summer (a season over- brimming with life and burning red-hot) to autumn (a period of harvest) Fire and Metal is a celebration of the flowering and maturing stages of life. Anchored by Pulitzer Prize winner Zhou Long’s “Five Elements: Fire and Metal,” commissioned especially for today’s concert, the program transitions from the celebratory energy of “A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix”—the representative animal of fire—to the deliberate rhythms of “Picking Jujube” and “The Grapes are Ripe”. Opposite, yet complementary, the elements of Fire and Metal represent the crucial, intertwined forces of blooming and maturing life.

    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.

  • De La Música Tradicional De China. Selección
    Discografía de la música tradicional de China. Selección Biblioteca Fundación Juan March Esta selección discográfica ha sido preparada con motivo de la exposición El principio Asia. China, Japón e India y el arte contemporáneo en España (1957-2017) y del ciclo de cinco conciertos Oriente y la música occidental. Durante la preparación de esta discografía no han sido incluidos numerosos registros publicados en China de muy difícil localización en Occidente. Tampoco se mencionan grabaciones sonoras anteriores al vinilo. Las músicas que aparecen en estos discos son un breve apunte de la riqueza musical tradicional que aún se practica en este país. Muchos de estos soportes sonoros han sido y son, además, fuente de estudio para compositores e intérpretes occidentales. La influencia de estas músicas sobre las técnicas compositivas, el timbre vocal e instrumental o sobre la concepción del tiempo musical es esencial para comprender una gran parte de la historia musical del siglo XX. Selección discográfica de José Luis Maire Biblioteca Fundación Juan March Abril de 2018 Música y canto budista La liturgia budista y taoísta en China tiene una historia de casi 2000 años y todavía se practica ampliamente en la actualidad. Desde su llegada a China hasta las llamadas tres dinastías del Norte y del Sur (420-589 d. C.), el budismo sufrió un proceso de consolidación hasta su profunda adaptación. Como numerosos documentos históricos demuestran (textos, pinturas y esculturas), el budismo introdujo en China nuevos géneros y prácticas rituales de una manera progresiva. Uno de los géneros más representativos y específicos de la liturgia vocal china es el denominado canto fanbei, caracterizado por la construcción de melodías melismáticas surgidas como consecuencia de un proceso de transculturación con las formas nativas de China.
