Dissonance in harmony: the Cantonese opera music community in Guangzhou.January 2012 (has links)
粤劇亦被譽為「南國紅豆」已有三百多年歷史是中國傳統戲曲之一。粤劇流傳於南中國,香港,以及海外華人的社會,其中以廣州佛山一帶最為著名。然而在近年外來文化的影響下,粤劇逐漸被忽視。自二零零九年起,粤劇正式被列為聯合國教科文組織人類非物質文化遺產。隨著國家政府對粤劇的重視,地方傳統曲藝在廣州的發展亦產生了變化。本論文以廣州粤劇的音樂社區為中心,著眼於樂師,把樂師分為業餘者,職業樂師及國家級演奏員三類。本論文亦論述粤劇樂師在粤劇國家化的過程中所面對的改變及所扮演的角色,並探討粤劇由一種地方性的民間傳統藝術演變為一項代表國家的非物質文化遺產對當地音樂社區造成的衝擊。 / Since Cantonese Opera was declared an intangible cultural heritage representation by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2009, the Chinese government has carried out different policies to “develop Cantonese Opera. This study looks at the recent “development“ of Cantonese Opera in Guangzhou from the perspective of musicians. In Guangzhou, different forms of performing groups are present, from privately organized interest groups to state-managed national troupes. This study divides the music community in Guangzhou into three sub-communities: amateurs, professionals and national musicians and investigates the changing lifestyle and way of interaction of musicians within the music community due to the changes that have occurred in Guangzhou with the listing of Cantonese Opera as an intangible cultural heritage. / This research focuses on the musicians in the Cantonese Opera music community in Guangzhou. Based on a three-month intensive fieldwork and two pilot studies conducted in 2011 using participant observation and indepth interview, this thesis aims to explore the following questions: in what ways are the musicians’ social life and mode of living altered? Has the whole music community become more strengthened and united owing to the social changes? Or is the music community becoming more stratified? Is the music community harmonious or full of dissonance? / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Cheung, Ah Li. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 127-133). / Abstracts also in Chinese. / Abstract --- p.i / 摘要 --- p.ii / Acknowledgements --- p.iii / Table of Contents --- p.v / List of Figures and Tables --- p.vii / Chapter Chapter One --- : Introduction --- p.1 / Introduction --- p.1 / Contribution --- p.4 / Defining Music Community --- p.6 / Literature Review --- p.8 / The Ethnomusicological Perspective --- p.8 / The Socio-cultural Perspective --- p.10 / The Heritage Perspective --- p.13 / Methodology --- p.15 / Participant Observation --- p.17 / Interviews --- p.19 / Thesis Structure --- p.20 / The Romanization of Chinese Wordings --- p.21 / Chapter Chapter Two --- : History of Cantonese Opera and its Music Community --- p.22 / Tracing the Roots of Cantonese Opera --- p.22 / Before the 1900s --- p.24 / From the 1900s to the 1960s --- p.25 / From the 1960s to the 1980s --- p.25 / From the 1980s until the Present --- p.26 / Background of the Cantonese Opera Music Community --- p.29 / Differentiating between Yueju, Yuequ and Yuele --- p.33 / The Music Community in Guangzhou --- p.35 / Chapter Chapter Three --- : The Amaterus - The “Happy“ Ones? --- p.38 / General Description --- p.38 / Primary Informants --- p.39 / The Sunshine Cantonese Opera Troupe --- p.40 / The District Workers’ Association Cantonese Opera Troupe --- p.41 / The Evergreen Cantonese Opera Troupe --- p.43 / What is “Sifoguhk“? --- p.44 / Hierarchies between Amateurs --- p.46 / The Status of Sifu --- p.47 / The Musicians’ List --- p.48 / The Amateur Community as a Whole --- p.50 / The Invasion of Capitalism --- p.51 / The “Common Enemy“ --- p.53 / Summary: Are they truly the “happy ones“? --- p.56 / Chapter Chapter Four --- : The Professional Musicians - The Dream Chasers --- p.58 / General Description --- p.58 / “The Cantonese Opera Music Boulevard“ --- p.58 / Primary Informants --- p.60 / The New World Hotel --- p.61 / The City Grand Hotel --- p.62 / Tensions within the Community --- p.63 / Competition between Tea Houses --- p.64 / Relationship between Musicians, Singers and the Audience --- p.67 / The Professional Music Community as a Whole --- p.70 / The Rural-City Melting Pot --- p.71 / The Changing Market Demand --- p.73 / Summary: What is the Shared Dream? --- p.76 / Chapter Chapter Five --- : The National Experts - The Heritage Preservers --- p.78 / General Description --- p.78 / The State’s Theatres --- p.79 / Primary Informants --- p.82 / The Guangzhou City Cantonese Opera Troupe --- p.83 / The Cantonese Music and Folk Art Troupe --- p.84 / Categorizing Musicians --- p.85 / The Yueju and Yuequ Distinction --- p.86 / The National Ranking System --- p.88 / The Power of the State --- p.91 / The Institutionalization of Folk Art --- p.92 / The Nationalization of Local Art Form --- p.94 / Summary: The Heritage Preservers --- p.97 / Chapter Chapter Six --- : From Art-form to Uni-form --- p.99 / Introduction --- p.99 / The Composition of the Community --- p.101 / The Characteristics of the Community --- p.106 / Segregation within the Community --- p.110 / Summary --- p.115 / Chapter Chapter Seven --- : Conclusion --- p.118 / Bibliography --- p.127

Based on the geographical distribution of the unearthed musical instruments and their archaeo-cultural considerations, I first examine musical cultures of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the seven-regions of Central Plain, Northwest, North, East, Southwest, South, and Southeast, each of which showed affinity to some particular political unit (state), ethnicity and social organization of the archaeological culture. Through regional and cross-regional analysis of the shape, composite and musical features of the instruments and their contemporary cultural significance, I argue that the Shang and Zhou musical cultures were primarily originated and developed in multiple cultural contexts along the Yellow River and Yangtse River areas. Among the seven regions, the Central Plain region occupied a dominant position. The other regions of musical culture developed independently but maintained close cultural interaction with the Central Plain region. / Lastly, I discuss the ritual-music function of the instruments in the formation of ritual-music system, the condition of the owners and players of the instruments, and the compositive set of ritual bronze vessels and instruments. I conclude that the social function of musical instruments in the Shang and Zhou dynasties had actually gone beyond music performance itself. They had functions of performing music, executing sacrifice, and symbolizing the socio-political status and ranks of individuals. / This dissertation is an archaeo-musicological study on unearthed musical instruments of the Shang (1600 B.C.--1046 B.C.) and Western Zhou (1046 B.C.--771 B.C.) dynasties in China. Using the unearthed musical instruments in conjunction with other related archaeological findings and ancient Chinese documents, I discuss issues relating to the multi-structure and social function of these instruments within their socio-historical contexts. / Using the textual information from oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, and Chinese classical texts, I explore the functions of the unearthed musical instruments in terms of sacrificial activities and the Liyue (ritual-music) system. I identify four types of excavation (dwellings, sacrificial pits, hoards, and tombs) to elucidate the relationship between sacrificial activities and musical instruments. I then discuss the metaphor of the instruments' decorations and the use of instruments in the ritual activities such as praying for rain and ancestral cult. / 方建軍. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2005. / 參考文獻(p. 277-316). / Adviser: Tsao Poon Yee. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-07, Section: A, page: 2380. / Electronic reproduction.

Exploring the spaces for a voice: the noises of rock music in China (1985-2004). / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2006 (has links)
Apart from politics and market, ideology was a significant factor in the realm of rock music. Upholding an ideology that focused on individuality and autonomy, and epousing a set of aesthetic value that placed emphases on live performance: how to maintain a balance between autonomy from politics and adaptation to market tastes became a question for both rock artists and the culture industry, a topic of which will be examined in the dissertation. / At the same time, this paper examined the struggle of rock artists against the official constraints and prohibitive coding via rock lyrics, the visual, the music, the body as well as the theatrical performance. / Finally, this paper explores how rock artists and the rock industry turned to alternative spaces for projecting their causes: the Internet, the underground music network and the realm of piracy, spaces where interferences from both the state and the market were minimum. / It also took as its study why rock music was a noise in the market and how rock labels contested for a space in the market which had been plagued by piracy and lack of protection for intellectual property rights. It at the same time explored the ways rock companies attempted to make the books balanced in operating the rock music business in a market where rock fans only constituted a marginal audience. / It looked at how the government imposed control and prohibition on the publishing, performance and dissemination of rock music which it perceived as an alien noise. For this, interviews had been held with personnel from the official apparatuses, the culture industry, the mass media as well as the rock artists and musicians, in a way to understand why rock was rarely heard on the radio or performed on television; why rock music became a term rarely appeared in the official press; and why rock was not allowed to mingle with official discourse like party songs or national anthem; and in what ways the contents of songs as well as the visuals on album covers were censored; and how the government controlled the speech, acts and dress of rock artists on stage. / This paper concludes with the view that despite the many constraints encountered by rock music in the realm of both the state and the market, rock music as a cultural space did not totally lose its freedom, autonomy or integrity. It adopted a mode of communication which is hinged on the non-verbal, the second-order signification, the hidden and the symbolic. It utilised a strategy which avoids direct antagonism with the political regime, and sought outlets for its own messages and meanings. / This paper started by examining how rock music had been transformed into a genre distinguished with its ideology and aesthetics in a socialist country where politics and economy weighed equally significant. / This study took rock music as a cultural space that reflected a larger political and economic environment in China, where it had been marginalized and segregated as a noise by both the state and the market. / Wong Yan Chau Christina. / "September 2006." / Adviser: Joseph Man Chan. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 68-03, Section: A, page: 0783. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2006. / Includes bibliographical references. / Electronic reproduction.

Modern Chinese Piano Composition and Its Role in Western Classical Music: A Study of Huang An-lun's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 57Ng, Lok 12 1900 (has links)
China's role in Western music is ever-expanding. Echoing the growth of classical music in China is the importance of Chinese musicians in the global music world. However, it is easy to forget that Western classical music is a foreign import to China, one that has been resisted for most of its history. The intent of this study is to evaluate the role of Chinese music in the Western classical world. This includes Western education, Western repertoire, and also a historical exploration into the mutual influence of the two styles. One Chinese composition in particular, Huang An-lun's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 57, is selected to analyze the Western and Chinese elements present in the work. This analysis will shed light on the relationship of the two styles and how they amalgamate in modern Chinese music. Although Western classical music today has a strong foothold in China, Chinese contributions to piano literature are largely unknown to the West. China possesses one of the richest musical histories in the world, one which until the twentieth century has largely remained unaffected by Western elements. Its musical heritage extends over thousands of years, deeply rooted in tradition and nationalism. Over the last century, Chinese composition began to incorporate Western musical ideas while still holding on to its own heritage and traditions. This synthesis of Western and Chinese musical elements created a new compositional sound founded on Chinese roots. Huang An-lun, one of China's most prominent living composers, embodies this style in his compositions. Chinese composition is no longer something that is exotic or alien to Western music. Instead, it integrates many Western ideas while still being founded in Chinese heritage, creating a new style that has much to offer the Western classical world.
