“When East Meets West,” Chen Yi’s From Old Peking Folklore: The Merging of Chinese and Western Musical Idioms

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
