Minimal music is a certain form of art music in which short patterns are repeated and developed continuously so that new musical materials with different features arise. In the early 1960s, L. M. Young, T. Riley, S. Reich and P. Glass began to use the techniques of a minimal music and it has become popular and widely used. The characteristics of minimal music such as non-narrative, non-teleological, and non-representational conception make the audience to concentrate on the sound and to be engulfed in the performance. Combining minimal music with a dance, those characteristics allow and intensify to deliver the choreographer’s purpose to the audience. For this reason, contemporary choreographers prefer to adopt minimal music to their works. The purpose of this study is helping the choreographers to understand the minimal music in depth and to create more novel and unique works. Because of its repetition of simple patterns, the instrument configuration and timbre are the major factors to determine the ambience of a minimal music. This study applies the instrument timbre as a basis to categorize the minimal music: 1) musical pieces with one kind of instrument such as strings, winds, percussions, keyboards, or voices; 2) ones with more than one kind of instrument. At the same time, the musical features of several selected pieces, such as melody, rhythm, texture, and use of instruments, are also analyzed. As a result, six properties of minimal music are concluded. 1) In the case of strings and winds, two or more performers play music and/ or a recorded performance is used because it is difficult to play more than two melodies at the same time. 2) The rhythm of percussion with repetition and overlap generates a phase pattern. 3) With a piano, it is possible for the performer to vary key, harmony, and range because a piano has a wide range and it has freedom in melody, harmony, and rhythm. 4) When using a voice which has a mono tone, recorded voices and/or a chorus is applied, and sometimes words and lyrics can deliver a message. 5) Winds and voices accompany short phrases because they use breathing in playing. 6) Using multiple instruments enables the performers to express various and rich tunes.
Abstract
Minimal music is a certain form of art music in which short patterns are repeated and developed continuously so that new musical materials with different features arise. In the early 1960s, L. M. Young, T. Riley, S. Reich and P. Glass began to use the techniques of a minimal music and it has become popular and widely used. The characteristics of minimal music such as non-narrative, non-teleological, and non-representational conception make the audience to concentrate on the sound and to be engulfed in the performance. Combining minimal music with a dance, those characteristics allow and intensify to deliver the choreographer’s purpose to the audience. For this reason, contemporary choreographers prefer to adopt minimal music to their works. The purpose of this study is helping the choreographers to understand the minimal music in depth and to create more novel and unique works. Because of its repetition of simple patterns, the instrument configuration and timbre are the major factors to determine the ambience of a minimal music. This study applies the instrument timbre as a basis to categorize the minimal music: 1) musical pieces with one kind of instrument such as strings, winds, percussions, keyboards, or voices; 2) ones with more than one kind of instrument. At the same time, the musical features of several selected pieces, such as melody, rhythm, texture, and use of instruments, are also analyzed. As a result, six properties of minimal music are concluded. 1) In the case of strings and winds, two or more performers play music and/ or a recorded performance is used because it is difficult to play more than two melodies at the same time. 2) The rhythm of percussion with repetition and overlap generates a phase pattern. 3) With a piano, it is possible for the performer to vary key, harmony, and range because a piano has a wide range and it has freedom in melody, harmony, and rhythm. 4) When using a voice which has a mono tone, recorded voices and/or a chorus is applied, and sometimes words and lyrics can deliver a message. 5) Winds and voices accompany short phrases because they use breathing in playing. 6) Using multiple instruments enables the performers to express various and rich tunes.
