He studied music with teachers including Huang Tzu at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Ding taught at the Shanghai Conservatory in the late 1930s. From 1947 to 1949, he studied composition in the Paris Conservatoire with Noël Gallon, Tony Aubin, and Nadia Boulanger. He also attended the courses of Arthur Honegger. From 1949, he taught at the Shanghai Conservatory again and became a vice president of the conservatory later. He died in Shanghai in 1995. • Ding's influential composition includes the Long March Symphony, symphonic suite New China, and the children's piano suite Happy Festival. He has also written theoretical works. • Renowned conductor Yu Long is Ding's grandson.

Taking the gallant story of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army marching over a distance of 25,000 miles, the Symphony is a deeply moving powerful piece. Under the baton of Huang Yi, the HK Phil ends the concert by revisiting this historic event. The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto is Chen Gang and He Zhanhao’s recreation of the romantic love story between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. The Butterfly Lovers was hailed at its premiere as “a breakthrough in China’s symphonic music”. The piece incorporates Chinese elements and melodic phrases using western instrumentation. After 60 years since its premiere, “The Tchaikovsky Concerto of the East” will showcase the elegance of Chinese symphonic music through the sensitive representation of the sorrows of Zhu Yingtai.

Studienblatt: Dr.-Studium der Philosophie UniStG Musikwissenschaft Betreuern: Doz. Ao. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Theophil Antonicek 1 2 Vorwort Dieses Vorwort dient als eine Entschuldigung, zum Jammern und als Vorsatz meine Zukunft betreffend. Diese Dissertation ist – übertragen gesagt – wie ein Baby für mich, allerdings eines, das eine durchaus schwierige Geburt hinter sich hat. Während des Schreibens gab es Phasen, in denen ich mich kaum mehr mit den Inhalten befassen konnte, die ich zu Papier bringen wollte. Ich begann mein „Baby“ und die Arbeit daran zu hassen. Aber am 18. Februar 2013, um 11:25, nach der letzten Korrektur der Conclusio, schließe ich nun meine Augen, lächelnd, und plötzlich liegen alle bisherigen Gedanken bezüglicher dieser Dissertation weit zurück. Das Thema dieser Dissertation begann sich nach dem Abschluss meines Magisterstudiums im Jahr 2008 in meinen Gedanken zu formen. Die Idee war ursprünglich um ein Vielfaches größer: Ich wollte beweisen, dass die als Gegenstand für die Dissertation gewählte „Chinesische Musik der Gegenwart“ als „Avantgarde- Musik“ fungiert und damit auch gleichzeitig den Terminus „chinesische Neue Musik“ widerlegen. Mein erster Doktorvater, Prof. Manfred Angerer (* 15. Oktober 1953 in Pöchlarn in Niederösterreich, † 19. April 2010 in Wien) empfahl mir in der für ihn charakteristischen ironisch-humorvollen Weise: „Schreib doch einen Überblick d‟rüber! Die Europäer verstehen diese Musik sowieso nicht.“ Dieser Ausspruch war typisch für Prof.

  • 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.
