The purpose of this study is to analyze two of Chen Yi's works that include flute. She was raised in China and later studied in the United States, leading to a compositional output notable for its combination of Eastern and Western musical elements. Her unusual early experiences, such as experiencing the Chinese Cultural Revolution, working in rural areas, studying the violin, playing the piano in the orchestra, and being influenced by Western modernists, became her musical inspirations in her later compositional career. Focusing on the composer's Three Bagatelles from China West and Woodwind Quintet No.3, this study explores how the composer links Chinese traditional folk tunes to Western compositional techniques, as well as Western flute techniques to Chinese musical styles. Since the folk tunes in the first movement, Introduction, and third movement, Miao Dances, of Woodwind Quintet No. 3 are the same as those used in the second and third bagatelles of Three Bagatelles: Nai Guo Hou and Dou Duo, both are studied, presenting how they relate to each other.

abstract: In an interview with the composer Liu Yintong, she shared her thoughts regarding her inspiration to compose the duet Memorial II. Liu studied under Chen Yi, who is a leading female contemporary composer. She has won many honors and awards worldwide, in addition to performing with major symphonies and musicians, including Yo-Yo Ma, Evelyn Glennie, the Cleveland Orchestra, the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), and Los Angeles Philharmonic. Chen Yi’s Percussion Concerto combines Eastern and Western music styles and also includes Chinese poetry, and elements of Beijing opera. Similarly, Liu uses Chinese poetry and elements of Hebei opera in Memorial II. This document and recording of Memorial II will examine the musical integration of Liu’s educational and cultural experience into her composition. In addition this document will examine Hebei opera styles of singing, imitated in the cello and piano. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2019

abstract: This project serves as a performance guide for Chen Yi’s work From Old Peking Folklore for violin and piano. The primary source material for the document is derived from six hours of interviews and musical coaching that the writer undertook in March 2020 with Chen Yi at her residence in Missouri. The work is heavily influenced by Chinese Opera, and a brief examination of the history of Chinese Opera is included to provide context to the performer. Elements of performance practice on traditional Chinese instruments and their influence on the work are also explored, with detailed explanations given for the realization of numerous indications in the score from the composer. Finally, a link to a lecture recital and performance of the work is provided by the writer. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2020
