Download or read book China and the West written by Michael Saffle and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western music reached China nearly four centuries ago, with the arrival of Christian missionaries, yet only within the last century has Chinese music absorbed its influence. As China and the West demonstrates, the emergence of “Westernized” music from China—concurrent with the technological advances that have made global culture widely accessible—has not established a prominent presence in the West. China and the West brings together essays on centuries of Sino-Western musical exchange by musicologists, ethnomusicologists, and music theorists from around the world. It opens with a look at theoretical approaches of prior studies of musical encounters and a comprehensive survey of the intercultural and cross-cultural theoretical frameworks—exoticism, orientalism, globalization, transculturation, and hybridization—that inform these essays. Part I focuses on the actual encounters between Chinese and European musicians, their instruments and institutions, and the compositions inspired by these encounters, while Part II examines theatricalized and mediated East-West cultural exchanges, which often drew on stereotypical tropes, resulting in performances more inventive than accurate. Part III looks at the musical language, sonority, and subject matters of “intercultural” compositions by Eastern and Western composers. Essays in Part IV address reception studies and consider the ways in which differences are articulated in musical discourse by actors serving different purposes, whether self-promotion, commercial marketing, or modes of nationalistic—even propagandistic—expression. The volume’s extensive bibliography of secondary sources will be invaluable to scholars of music, contemporary Chinese culture, and the globalization of culture.

Download or read book Sizhu Instrumental Music of South China written by Alan Thrasher and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-03-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a reader's report, this is "one of the finest studies on (any kind of) Chinese music to emerge in recent years." Based on extensive fieldwork and a thorough knowledge of the scholarly literature, the author examines the theoretical underpinnings of the 'silk and bamboo' instrumental ensemble traditions of the Chaozhou, Hakka and Cantonese peoples of South China. Stepping back far into history, the book opens with a penetrating examination of Confucian theory, the ancient corpus of behavioral doctrine which promoted music as a means of achieving social harmony and which, together with Daoist belief, exercised unusually strong influence over common-practice music and aesthetics. This is followed by a rigorous analysis of the music itself, focusing upon linear and modal structures and performance styles which reflect a fascinating mix of ancient ideologies and more recent influences.

Download or read book Chinese Music written by J a Van Aalst and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a very interesting popular account of the theory of Chinese music, with numerous wood-cuts illustrating the principal instruments and the mode of musical notation used by Chinese musicians. The author states his aim to have been 'to point out the contrasts or similarity between Western and Chinese music, to present abstruse theories in the least tiresome way, to add details never before published and to give a. short yet concise account of Chinese music.' After an introductory chapter on ancient music in general or rather on the history of European music, which our author believes to have 'gradually risen and progressed with Christianity, ' follows a chapter entitled, 'on Chinese music.' Here we are told that of the ancient music of China nothing remains now but a few abstruse theories, and that, at the rise of the Han dynasty the great music master Chi, whose ancestors had for generations held the same dignity, scarcely remembered anything about (ancient) music but the noise of tickling bells and dancers' drums.' We venture to say, that the author Would have modified his opinions regarding ancient Chinese music very considerably, if he had read Faber's essays on the subject. In the same chapter it is asserted, that ever since the Han dynasty nothing has been done of any value in the sphere of music, either practically or theoretically, that the attempt of Kanghi and Kienlung to revive the study of music in China failed, and that the Chinese people, erroneously supposed to be quite unchangeable in their predilections, have so radically changed in the course of ages, that the musical art, which anciently always occupied the place of honour, is now deemed the lowest calling a man can profess. Serious music, according to Mr. Van Aalst, has been totally abandoned, and the kind of music in which the populace of China. now-a-days delights in, consisting of the deafening noise of gong or drum accompanied by the shrieking tones of the clarinet, requires no scientific study. But as Mr. van Aalst informs his readers at the same time, that ' Chinese music must be divided into two different kinds, ritual 0r sacred music, which is passably sweet and generally of a minor character, and the theatrical or popular music, ' and as he subsequently describes the ritual music now used at Court and at religious ceremonies in the temples of Confucius and elsewhere, we are constrained to assume, either that ritual music is not serious because it is passably sweet, or that his previous allegation, that ' serious music is totally abandoned in China, ' goes for nothing. The next chapter treats the twelve Lii of ancient Chinese music, and we are told that they form ' a kind of semi-diatomic scale of 12 degrees, nearly identical with our chromatic gamut, the only difference being that our scale is tempered, while that of the Chinese is untouched.' Then follow five brief sentences on the pitch of Chinese music, and we learn that 'the present pitch approaches our D (601.5 vibrations per second) as nearly as possible.' Next we have a chapter on the Chinese system of notation, illustrated by diagrams, a few words on the stave, the value of notes, the rests, the time, the signs of alteration of notes, the diatonic gamut, etc

Download or read book Harmony and Counterpoint written by Bell Yung and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of nine essays draws together leading scholars in anthropology, social history, musicology, and ethnomusicology to address the roles and functions of music in the Chinese ritual context. How does music, one of a constellation of essential performative elements in almost all rituals, empower an officiant, legitimate an officeholder, create a heightened state of awareness, convey a message, or produce a magical outcome, a transition, a transformation? After an introduction by the volume editors, Bell Yung proposes a theoretical framework for dealing with Chinese ritual sound. A group of three essays focuses on the music for rituals that create political and social legitimacy followed by a second group of essays considering the music associated with rites of passage. Two essays then deal with the music accompanying rituals of propitiation. In all these cases, music is seen to play a critical role, if not the core of the ritual.

This academic piece is fundamentally consistent with the developing field of Chinese philosophical and literary research.This book also discusses important music aesthetic categories of Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, and metaphysics, and uses critical thinking to analyse the relationship between these categories and relevant schools of thought, reflecting the author's academic vision and thought process.
