초록
Through understanding the construction, design, and performance practice of Chinese instruments, the Western-trained composer can more greatly understand both the many limitations and advantages for using these ancient instruments in contemporary music. Having origins that surpass their occidental counterparts, traditional Chinese instruments were created and developed in a separate artistic world that is often misunderstood in the West. This paper evaluates both Chinese and Western instruments’ technical capabilities via their design and performance application, as well as musical intent. From these examples, both the disadvantages and creative potentials are demonstrated for Chinese instruments in a modern western context. Specific issues include, flexibility of intonation, gesture, rhythm and timbre versus challenges in exactness of equal-tempered pitch, tonal harmony, and gestural/timbral stability. This research is meant to inspire future composers to understand the innovative possibilities (as opposed to restrictions) of tradition in contemporary music, as well as having the goal of bridging greater communicative knowledge between very different cultural worlds.
Abstract
Through understanding the construction, design, and performance practice of Chinese instruments, the Western-trained composer can more greatly understand both the many limitations and advantages for using these ancient instruments in contemporary music. Having origins that surpass their occidental counterparts, traditional Chinese instruments were created and developed in a separate artistic world that is often misunderstood in the West. This paper evaluates both Chinese and Western instruments’ technical capabilities via their design and performance application, as well as musical intent. From these examples, both the disadvantages and creative potentials are demonstrated for Chinese instruments in a modern western context. Specific issues include, flexibility of intonation, gesture, rhythm and timbre versus challenges in exactness of equal-tempered pitch, tonal harmony, and gestural/timbral stability. This research is meant to inspire future composers to understand the innovative possibilities (as opposed to restrictions) of tradition in contemporary music, as well as having the goal of bridging greater communicative knowledge between very different cultural worlds.
