  • Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof
    Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof. Wang, Yaohua Fujian Normal University, China Intangible cultural heritage is the memory of human historical culture, the root of human culture, the ‘energic origin’ of the spirit of human culture and the footstone for the construction of modern human civilization. Ever since China joined the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2004, it has done a lot not only on cognition but also on action to contribute to the protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage. Please allow me to expatiate these on the case of Chinese nanyin(南音, southern music). I. The precious multi-values of nanyin decide the necessity of protection and transmission for Chinese nanyin. Nanyin, also known as “nanqu” (南曲), “nanyue” (南乐), “nanguan” (南管), “xianguan” (弦管), is one of the oldest music genres with strong local characteristics. As major musical genre, it prevails in the south of Fujian – both in the cities and countryside of Quanzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou – and is also quite popular in Taiwan, Hongkong, Macao and the countries of Southeast Asia inhabited by Chinese immigrants from South Fujian. The music of nanyin is also found in various Fujian local operas such as Liyuan Opera (梨园戏), Gaojia Opera (高甲戏), line-leading puppet show (提线木偶戏), Dacheng Opera (打城戏) and the like, forming an essential part of their vocal melodies and instrumental music. As the intangible cultural heritage, nanyin has such values as follows. I.I. Academic value and historical value Nanyin enjoys a reputation as “a living fossil of the ancient music”, as we can trace its relevance to and inheritance of Chinese ancient music in terms of their musical phenomena and features of musical form.

  • The Interaction of Cello and Chinese Traditional Music
    The Interaction of Cello and Chinese Traditional Music BY LAN JIANG Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. Dr. Paul Laird Mr. Edward Laut Mr. David Leslie Neely Dr. Martin J. Bergee Dr. Bryan Kip Haaheim Defense Date: May 25, 2017 i The Dissertation Committee for Lan Jiang certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: The Interaction of Cello and Chinese Traditional Music Chairperson Dr. Paul Laird Date approved: May 30, 2016 ii Abstract This document concerns the interaction of the cello and Chinese traditional music with an emphasis on three major areas. An historical introduction to western music in China includes descriptions of its early appearances and development, musical education influences, and how the cello became an important instrument in China. The second section is a discussion of techniques of western music and Chinese traditional music as used by Chinese composers, who write works in both styles separately and in admixtures of the two. The third section is a description of four Chinese works that include cello: “《二泉印月》” (Reflection of Moon in Er-Quan Spring), 《“ 川腔》” (The Voice of Chuan), “《渔舟唱晚》” (The Melodies of the Fishing Night), and “《对话集 I》” (Dialogue I). Analysis of these four works helps show how the cello has been assimilated into Chinese traditional music in both solo and ensemble fields, with specific looks at incorporating traditional performing techniques on the cello, the imitation of programmatic themes and aspects of Chinese culture in such works, and complex issues concerning aspects of performance.

  • JIAO, WEI, D.M.A. Chinese and Western Elements in Contemporary
    JIAO, WEI, D.M.A. Chinese and Western Elements in Contemporary Chinese Composer Zhou Long’s Works for Solo Piano Mongolian Folk-Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs. (2014) Directed by Dr. Andrew Willis. 136 pp. Zhou Long is a Chinese American composer who strives to combine traditional Chinese musical techniques with modern Western compositional ideas. His three piano pieces, Mongolian Folk Tune Variations, Wu Kui, and Pianogongs each display his synthesis of Eastern and Western techniques. A brief cultural, social and political review of China throughout Zhou Long’s upbringing will provide readers with a historical perspective on the influence of Chinese culture on his works. Study of Mongolian Folk Tune Variations will reveal the composers early attempts at Western structure and harmonic ideas. Wu Kui provides evidence of the composer’s desire to integrate Chinese cultural ideas with modern and dissonant harmony. Finally, the analysis of Pianogongs will provide historical context to the use of traditional Chinese percussion instruments and his integration of these instruments with the piano. Zhou Long comes from an important generation of Chinese composers including, Chen Yi and Tan Dun, that were able to leave China achieve great success with the combination of Eastern and Western ideas. This study will deepen the readers’ understanding of the Chinese cultural influences in Zhou Long’s piano compositions.
