  • Educating Through Music from an "Initiation Into Classical Music" for Children to Confucian "Self- Cultivation" for University Students

The current Confucian revival associates the “sacred”, power and knowledge whereas modernity is characterized by a differentiation between institutions and values. The paradoxical situation of Confucianism in modern society constitutes the background of the present article that explores the case of a private company involved in promoting classical Chinese music to children and “self-cultivation” to students. Its original conception of “education through music” paves the way for a new “ethical and aesthetic” teaching method that leaves aside the traditional associations of ethics with politics. By the same token, it opens the possibility for a non-political Confucianism to provide a relevant contribution in the field of education today.

  • Chinese Music Across Generations – Case Studies of Conservatory Musicians in 20Th-Century China
    Chinese Music across Generations – Case Studies of Conservatory Musicians in 20th-Century China Frank Kouwenhoven, Lin Chen and Helen Rees Abstract: This paper looks at ways in which some instrumental realms of traditional Chinese music have survived in or alongside modern music conservatory contexts, and how subsequent generations of musicians in China have dealt with the challenges of new teaching methods or performing styles. Four case studies will be presented here in some detail, with additional references to some other musicians recently interviewed. Frank Kouwenhoven introduces Li Guangzu,1 widely regarded as one of the founders of modern style pipa (lute) playing in China. Li never studied or taught at a music conservatory, but was very influential. Next, together with Lin Chen, Kouwenhoven traces the musical and spiritual development of Chinese guqin (seven-string zither) master Lin Youren (Lin Chen's father). He was among the first generation of qin students to be trained at a music conservatory and witnessed the clash of tradition with modernity first-hand. He struggled with it for much of his life. Thirdly, the fate of Cantonese instrumental ensemble music will briefly be traced via the stories of senior fiddle player Yu Qiwei (Hong Kong) and his son Yu Lefu (Guangzhou [Canton]). The latter built up an impressive career as a modern style erhu (two-stringed fiddle) virtuoso at the Xinghai Conservatory in Guangzhou, but he also began to teach the favorite traditional music of his father, trying to be “more traditional” than his dad. Such a smooth continuation of tradition is rare in Chinese conservatory contexts, but one further example of this is provided by Helen Rees; she looks at two Shanghai-based performers of the endblown bamboo flute xiao, an instrument too quiet and introspective to be favored by many conservatory students.

After the establishment of the People’s Republic in 1949, the government promoted public performances in a propaganda/persuasion media system; consequently, mass media started to play significant roles in reshaping aesthetic standards, performance practices, musical features, and meanings of the qin tradition. The mass media in China, however, went through a commercialization reform after the late 1970s and has shaped the current propaganda/persuasion model. This new media structure has hastened the emergence of new musical features and meanings of the qin in the commercial logic as opposed to the Party logic. Such interactions with technology have arguably constituted contemporary performance practices that have departed from traditional aesthetic standards held by literati practitioners who played the qin for self-satisfaction.

Yet, while indigenous music historians place too much stress on its aesthetical, theoretical (mainly of tuning and modal system), and historical aspects, traditional Euro-American ethnomusicologists are displaying excessive enthusiasm to present its distinctiveness, often laying claim to an ancient past while exhibiting a timeless present. This thesis tries to problematize guqin scholarship by putting three particular aspects of guqin music through critical examination; they include the modern reformation of notation, the concept of dapii (reconstruction/realization of ancient manuscripts), and the writing of music history.

  • Metrical Structure and Freedom in Qin Music of the Chinese Literati
    Metrical Structure and Freedom in Qin Music of the Chinese Literati Chun-Yan Tse and Chun-Fung Wong TEMPORAL ORGANIZATION IN TRADITIONAL CHINESE MUSIC EMPORAL organization in most genres of traditional Chinese music is informed by the T banyan structure, the concept of which can be dated back at least to the sixteenth century (Wang and Zhang 1990). The banyan structure consists of regular pulsations at two levels. At the higher level, there are slower equidistant pulsations labelled as ban, whereas faster pulsations labelled as yan at the lower level mark the subdivisions between the ban, together acting as “measurement of time duration for the musical notes” (Du 2009). Common forms of the banyan structure include “one ban three yan” and “one ban one yan” (Du and Qin 2012, chap. 8), equivalent to Western quadruple meter and duple meter respectively. Regular quadruple banyan structure, which can expand or contract in different variations of a mother tune, has been well described for sizhu “silk and bamboo” music in Shanghai (Witzleben 1995, chap. 5) and Southern China (Thrasher 2008, chap. 4). Different percussion instruments are often utilized to mark the time points of the ban and yan. In traditional musical scores, the banyan structure is often indicated by circles and dots, representing ban and yan respectively, adjacent to musical notes in gongche notation.1 This concept of temporal organization is akin to one common model of meter discussed in Western academic literature, where meter is considered as periodicity based on durational quantity, and can be defined as “the regular, hierarchical pattern of beats to which the listener relates musical events” (Lerdahl and Jackendoff 1983, 17).2 Meter involves “our initial perception as well as subsequent anticipation of a series of beats that we abstract from the rhythmic surface of the music as it unfolds in time,” and is “a musically particular form of entrainment or attunement, a synchronization of some aspect of our biological activity with regularly recurring events in the environment” (London 2012, 4).

  • Guan Pinghu's Interpretation of Flowing Waters Lu Wang
    Flowing Waters and the Flow of Time: Guan Pinghu’s Interpretation of Flowing Waters Lu Wang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 Copyright 2012 Lu Wang All rights reserved Abstract Flowing Waters and the Flow of Time: Guan Pinghu’s Interpretation of Flowing Waters Lu Wang The search for alternative approaches to time outside of the Western concert music tradition has provided inspiration for many contemporary composers. This essay is a brief examination of temporal models taken from traditional Chinese guqin music. Focusing on the famous composition Flowing Waters, the study looks at aspects of temporality in the piece: the use of traditional notation (the jianzipu spectrum as well as brush-painting illustrations) with transcribed comparisons of individual interpretations, various finger-sliding techniques, the dual melodic and harmonic roles of single lines, and even the tuning system as a path toward revealing a new way of composed time, that which reflects the aesthetics of brush-stroke calligraphy, brush-painting, and ancient Chinese philosophical views on nature and the arts. Continual movement of textures, fluidity of materials, organic transitions, and gradual growth and decay of sound in space are the unique characteristics of this piece that become the main focus of the analysis.

China is composed of 22 contiguous provinces, five autonomous regions originally inhabited largely by ‘minority’ groups (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang-Uighur, Guangxi-Zhuang, Ningxia- Hui and Tibet), three centrally-controlled municipalities (the capital Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin) and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau. Its total area of about 9,573,000 km² also includes the area formerly called Manchuria (now the three north- eastern provinces). According to the 2010 census the total population was 1.37 billion, with 55 minority nationalities, ethnically distinct from the Han Chinese majority, comprising 8.49%. The majority of the 23.2 million people (2012) of the Republic of China on the island of Taiwan originate from Fujian and eastern Guangdong provinces of mainland China; about 2.5 million came from other parts of mainland China with the Nationalists in 1949. The number of Chinese living outside China (including Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) in 2012 was approximately 50 million. The largest groups of Chinese include about 32.7 million in South-east Asia (the biggest populations being in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore), 3.8 million in the USA and 1.3 million in Canada.
