Hwang Yau-Tai the scholar and his music philosophy present the characteristics of emphasizing on social function and traditional Chinese literary men¡¦s thinking about beauty. Besides, his devotion to integrating Chinese music with Western music not only makes his composing style creative and peculiar, but makes he himself and his masterpieces have a status of continuing the tradition and starting a new era in Chinese modern music developing history. Therefore, in my research paper I will analyze his music philosophy and style.
The paper is divided into five chapters. The first one is an account for my research motive and purpose, its strategy, and the sources of the information. The second one is the introduction of the musician¡¦s living stages and how they affect his style and philosophy. The third one is about the musician¡¦s particular time background and his two major music philosophy: social responsibility of musicians from Confucianism and nationalization of Chinese modern music from patriotism. The forth one is about his three stages of transformation in style and his composing background. I will discuss and analyze one of his most important masterpieces of per stage. The fifth one is the conclusion of his music philosophy, style, and his contribution to Chinese music.
From Mr. Hwang Yau-Tai we can see the effort of a senior musician in keeping national style and in trying to save the nation by music education. He transferred the conflicts between Chinese and Western cultures into an aid to his creating. Furthermore, he tries to achieve the ideal of whole-personality education with music. No matter how Chinese and Western cultures develop, music education is the subject that presents its social function best and should be given more respect and support.
