  • Three Millennia of Tonewood Knowledge in Chinese Guqin Tradition: Science, Culture, Value, and Relevance for Western Lutherie
    Savart Journal Article 1 Three millennia of tonewood knowledge in Chinese guqin tradition: science, culture, value, and relevance for Western lutherie WENJIE CAI1,2 AND HWAN-CHING TAI3 Abstract—The qin, also called guqin, is the most highly valued musical instrument in the culture of Chinese literati. Chinese people have been making guqin for over three thousand years, accumulating much lutherie knowledge under this uninterrupted tradition. In addition to being rare antiques and symbolic cultural objects, it is also widely believed that the sound of Chinese guqin improves gradually with age, maturing over hundreds of years. As such, the status and value of antique guqin in Chinese culture are comparable to those of antique Italian violins in Western culture. For guqin, the supposed acoustic improvement is generally attributed to the effects of wood aging. Ancient Chinese scholars have long discussed how and why aging improves the tone. When aged tonewood was not available, they resorted to various artificial means to accelerate wood aging, including chemical treatments. The cumulative experience of Chinese guqin makers represent a valuable source of tonewood knowledge, because they give us important clues on how to investigate long-term wood changes using modern research tools. In this review, we translated and annotated tonewood knowledge in ancient Chinese books, comparing them with conventional tonewood knowledge in Europe and recent scientific research. This retrospective analysis hopes to highlight the practical value of Chinese lutherie knowledge for 21st-century instrument makers. I. INTRODUCTION In Western musical tradition, the most valuable musical instruments belong to the violin family, especially antique instruments made in Cremona, Italy.

  • Westernisation, Ideology and National Identity in 20Th-Century Chinese Music
    Westernisation, Ideology and National Identity in 20th-Century Chinese Music Yiwen Ouyang PhD Thesis Royal Holloway, University of London DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Yiwen Ouyang, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 19 May 2012 I To my newly born baby II ABSTRACT The twentieth century saw the spread of Western art music across the world as Western ideology and values acquired increasing dominance in the global order. How did this process occur in China, what complexities does it display and what are its distinctive features? This thesis aims to provide a detailed and coherent understanding of the Westernisation of Chinese music in the 20th century, focusing on the ever-changing relationship between music and social ideology and the rise and evolution of national identity as expressed in music. This thesis views these issues through three crucial stages: the early period of the 20th century which witnessed the transition of Chinese society from an empire to a republic and included China’s early modernisation; the era from the 1930s to 1940s comprising the Japanese intrusion and the rising of the Communist power; and the decades of economic and social reform from 1978 onwards. The thesis intertwines the concrete analysis of particular pieces of music with social context and demonstrates previously overlooked relationships between these stages. It also seeks to illustrate in the context of the appropriation of Western art music how certain concepts acquired new meanings in their translation from the European to the Chinese context, for example modernity, Marxism, colonialism, nationalism, tradition, liberalism, and so on.

  • Ming Wang Whilst Studying Painting in the 1970'S, I Began Learning Chinese Music
    A review of my experiences, and criticism of the music exchange projects Ming Wang Whilst studying painting in the 1970's, I began learning Chinese music. This was introduced to Taiwan from mainland China after the Chinese Civil War in 1949. Hence my first “great love” of this music, but it was extremely difficult to learn. Because of the political situation with mainland China the culture of this music was totally separated from its roots. We had very limited teaching material and literature, had no systematic pedagogical methodology. We were young and passionate at the time and wanted to find a solution, a future for this music. The introduction of Western Modernism was a great hope for us then, as it has often been in the history of China over the last 150 years. While my music friends founded the first revolutionary ensemble with Chinese instruments, to specialize in Taiwanese and Western contemporary music, I decided to study composition in Europe; to learn the western avant-garde, so that we could enrich Chinese music. With this goal in mind, since 1996 – during my studies - I have initiated or participated in several exchange projects between Austria and Taiwan. I try not only to present new european music in Taiwan, but also to introduce Taiwanese musicians, Chinese instruments and music to Europe. Twenty years later in the age of globalisation, I often think about whether such exchange projects really make artistic sense, or whether we have gradually lost our ideals in the workings of the music business. With a few concrete examples, I would like to give a review of my years of experience with the music exchange projects, and offer this topic for discussion.

    International Conference on Education, Management and Computing Technology (ICEMCT 2015) Birth and Research of Erhu Concerto Jindi Zhang Art College, Shandong University, Weihai, 264209, China Keywords: Erhu; Concerto Abstract. Erhu concerto is a type of music which was born under integration of Chinese and western cultures. It is one of the most typical solo concertos in Chinese national musical instruments. Since the establishment of new China, Erhu concerto has developed rapidly. It gained different development in four historical periods: before the reform and opening-up, 1980s, 1990s and the 21st century. Erhu concerto generates significant influence on development of Erhu music and occupies an important position in development history of Erhu music. Birth of Erhu concerto Since the 20th century, Erhu concerto born under multi-culture development is a kind of new music expression form. It derives from European music, but is different from European music. In 1930s, Erhu divertimento The Death of Yang Yuhuan created by Russian Jewish composer AapoHABUiajiyMOB (1894-1965) consists of 6 songs and adopts the form of Erhu and symphony orchestra. This is the earliest Erhu concerto recorded in the history and originated from the melody of self-created song Evening Scene of Ynag Yuhuan in 1936. In Yearbook of Chinese Music (2002), Mr. Zheng Tisi said in his memoirs that, this works was performed in public in Shanghai Lanxin Theater. The band was Shanghai Municipal Council Orchestra. The outstanding folk music performer Mr. Wei Zhonglei took charge of Erhu solo, and the composer was responsible for commanding. Such manifestation pattern of Erhu music was certain far-sighted in the development of world music and also reflected world culture had walked out of European cultural circle and went to other developing countries.

    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.

It is almost always tuned to the interval of a fifth and the treble clef is applied in Erhu music notation based on the actual pitch. Pipa Pipa and the artificial fingernails (right hand) Pipa Performance Demonstration (by SHU Yin) The strings of the Pipa are conventionally tuned to A-D-E-A. Players always wear the artificial fingernails for Pipa performance. The grand stave is applied in Pipa music notation based on the actual pitch. 1 / 2 附件二 / ANNEX II Dizi - Bamboo Flute (including Xiao) From top to bottom: Bangdi in G key, Qudi in D key, Xindi in G key and Xiao in G key Dizi Performance Demonstration (By WANG Junkan) Xiao Performance Demonstration (By WANG Junkan) The Dizi is a traditional Chinese transverse flute usually made of bamboo. It has six finger-holes, one blowing hole and one membrane hole. The membrane has a great influence on the sound produced by the flute. Qudi and Bangdi are the most predominant among the many varieties of Chinese flute. To satisfy the needs of different music, professional players usually have a set of dizi, each in a different key and size, where the Bangdi in G key and the Qudi in D key are most commonly used. A low octave approach in treble staff is applied to Dizi music notation.
