The non-Western world has experienced many problems since the Western Powers have contacted them. The non-Western world had to accept the Western culture by force or by their needs. Music was one of them. The Western Music that I use in this paper is the music of the Classical and Romantic period. Harmony and chord progressions are the core of the music of those periods. In the present day most of the people in the world can understand the Western music no matter if they live in the Western Continents or not. The mass media contributes to overflow the Western music in the world. 'The Western Music' is used as a sign or a symbol to help to understand the extra-musical situations for those who live in the Western style life in the world. Since the most of the non-Western traditional music does not have the harmony and chord progressions and the people in the non-Western world began to loose the idioms of their indigenous music, the musicians of the non-Western culture began to use the Western harmony in their newly composed music to be accepted by their people. The word crossover is used in this way. The Western harmony and chord progressions are also used in the newly composed Korean traditional music. In this paper, I examine this cultural blending and how the future music would be.
Die Postmodeme wird als wichtiger Begriff venvendet, um die heutige Zeit zu beschreiben, besonders in der Philosophie und in der Kunst. Sie hat in vielen Bereichen unseres Lebens, wie z.B. der Architektur, Kultur, Film, Ballett, Religion, Politik und Mode ihre Wirkungskreise gezogen. Auch in der Musik des 20. Jh. wurde Postmodeme als ein wichtiges Pha¨nomen akzeptiert. Besonders zeichnet sich die musikalische Postmodeme aus durch ihre U¨benvindung der Kluft zwischen artifizieller Musik und Trivialmusik. In diesem Zusammenhant wird "Crossover" ein wichtiges Merkmal der Musik in unserer Zeit. In dieser Studie wurde versucht, aus dem Aspekt der musikalischen Postmodeme Crossover zu untersuchen. In der Moderne wurde die Tradition kritisch bea¨ugelt, was mit einem verlangen nach Neuem ausgedru¨ckt wurde. Hier war Kunst weniger ein Genussobjekt denn ein Erkenntnisobjekt, das ho¨here Werte wie <Wahrheit> und <Gesellschaftskritik> zu erkennen und zu erfu¨llen hatte. Diese Sichtweise teilten Komponisten wie auch das Publikum. Der Komponist schuf also ein Werk, dem er einen ho¨heren Sinn verlieh, wa¨hrend dem Publikwn abverlangt wurde, dass es diese Bedeuhmg erkennt und nachvollzieht. Dies fu¨hrte aber zu einer Zweiteilung der Kunst in eine hohe Kunst und eine niedere Kunst oder' auch Trivialkunst. Adomos Teilung der Musikkultur des 20. Jahrhunderts in Avantgarde und Kitsch bringt diese Situation auf den Punkt. Demnach na¨herte sich die Position der Kunst fu¨r die Kunst einem immer elita¨reren und akademischeren Denken, wa¨drend die Massenkultur dank der Vermarktung immer weiter verbreitet wurde, was einen tiefen Abgrund zwischen den beiden verursachte. Doch in der Postmodeme wurde dieses dichotomische Denken verurteilt. L. Fiedler Wckt dies so aus : "Die Vorstellung von einer Kunst fu¨r die 'Gebildeten' und einer Subkunst fu¨r die 'Ungebildeten' bezeugt den letzten U¨berrest einer a¨rgerlichen Unterscheidung innerhalb der industrialisierten Massengesellschaft, wie sie nur einer Klassengesellschafi zustiinde." Kunst in der Postmodeme ist kein Gegenstand des Erkennens, sondem ein a¨sthetisches Erlebnis an dem man teilhaben kann. Dies fihrte zur U¨berwindung des Abgrundes zwischen hoher und niederer Kunst. Ausdruck und Subjektivitat wurden die neuen Schlagworter fu¨r die Komponisten und gerade in letzter Zeit treten immer haufiger Crossover-Formen in Erscheinung, wie z.B. bei dem Pianisten Friedrich Gulda, der klassische Werke auf jazzige Weise improvisiert oder aber auch bei zahlreichen Konzerten, wo klassische Musk und Unterhaltungsmusik unter einem Dach und Fach gebracht werden. Diese Beispiele zeugen Air den Wandel im musikalischen Denken beztkglich einer A¨sthetisierung des Alltagsleben, was als Versuch gesehen wird, Kunst und Produkte der Kunstvermarktung zu erga¨nzen. In diesem Wandlung der musikalischen Anschauung wurde "Crossover" ein wichtiges Chamkterikum unser Zeit. Aber nach der Untersuchung von "Crossover" in artizifieller Musik wurde festgestellt, daß "Corssover" nur ein kleiner Teil der heutigen Musikkulur ist. Die sog. postmodeme Komponisten wie K. Penderecki, W. Rihm, G. Rochberg haben auf einer anderen Weise musikalische Postmodeme in seiner Komposition ausgedrcu¨ckt, und fast keine "Crossover"-Musik komponiert. Nir in dem Bereich der Unterhaltungsmusik la¨ßt sich mehrere Versuche zur U¨berwindung des Grabens zwischen artifizieller Musik und Unterhaltungsmusik finden. So ist es no¨tig, daß wir die Bedeutung von "Crossover" genau erkennen und nicht Ubertreiben.
Cross-Over as an aesthetic phenomenon is closely associated with postmodernism. So we have to return once again to the relation between modernism and postmodernism. Postmodemism especially relating to cross-over is defined as anti-modernism. Postmodernism as antimodemism considers modernism as too intelligent, difficult, elitisic art. Moreover modernism is no longer an actual artistic theory but just a past theory. Elitism of modernism is replaced by populism of postmodemism. Especially after 1980's, Crossover, characteristic of postmodernism as being oriented towards popular culture has been seen in every apect of life. For example, crossover between high culture and popular culture, between history and fiction, even between image and reality. Postmodemism is a principal logic in society where every hierarchy is demolished and an aesthetic version of democracy, pluralism and relativism. In this essay, Postmodernsim relating to crossover is regarde and interpreted as an American cultural theory. So it is a very serious problem that Postmodemism as a national and local theory is accepted as if it is a global cultural theory. The call for modernism in the middle of 19th century was in connection with the question of the status of art in the capitalism. In the capitalist society where every human action and meaning was reduced to money, modernism chose to isolate itself from contemporary society and dedicated itself to art. It limited its main question to the artistic experiment. The Art Cult of Modernism was a resistent activity of modem artists against their society. In that process, art inevitably became esoteric, ambiguous and difficult. Because of its difficulty, thus, Modernism is accessible only to a few spectators. In that situation, numerous constructions of museums and concert halls for industrial and financial aim made Modernism much expensive commodity. The others of Modernism, for example, female artists, homosexual artists and artists of colored races criticized occidental, white, male centrality of Modernism. They argued Modernism is not a universal but only a local aesthetic theory. Postmodemism as one of the others of Modernism appears in criticizing those negative aspects of Modernism. It is argued that Postmodemism is not only a new cultural and aesthetic logic but also a new historical theory. But the reason why this essay interprets postmodernism as an American theory or a kind of americanism lies in the fact that the program of postmodernism itself is solely American. In America as multicultural nation, there can be various heterogeneous cultures, and even they can coexist peacefully. America has no dominant high culture handed down fiom old times. American culture is represented as popular culture. So Postmodernism as affirming lightness, joke, style and appearance instead of heaviness, reality and meaning can be propagated in America. It is natural that Postmodemism is an American theory. But it is not a local theory. Postmodemism as Americanism or cultural imperialism wants to homogenize cultures of entire world and at last dominate that world mentally. Postmodernism is cultural logic of political dominance of all the world by America. In conclusion, we must call crossover in question instead of treating it solely as an aesthetic phenomenon.
In the early twentieth century, many eastern European composers show the pervasive absorption of structural melodic characters of folk sources into more abstract contemporary music idioms. Pitch structure in that century music has become more explicit in recent analytic writings. Scriabin derived his compositional materials from more abstract sources that were identical to those found in the folk sources. Scriabin moved towards an increasingly systematic handing of pitch set constructions. This paper proposes a theoretical model for a study of collection in post tonal music. It is the aim of this paper to focus on collection in Scriabin's Op. 58, Feuillet d'album(1909). His output is often split into three periods. : Op. 1-29, Op. 30-57, and Op. 58-74. Op. 53-58 pieces are of primary importance in Scriabin's transition to atonality. It is precisely between the second and third periods that something very important happened in Scriabin's musical mind. In particu]ar, his Op. 58 was written while Scriabin was composing Prometheus. The composition employs 6-34 : in a sense the piece is a study of the properties of 6-34, with which Scriabin wad the preoccupied. The most famous variety of this chord is known as the Mystic, or also as the Prometheus as it is ubiquitous in that work. It should be emphasized that Scriabin's small pieces stand in a special relationship to his larger works. Thus the links between his last are strong, as will be seen in the course of this paper.
Arnold Scho¨nberg used three twelve-tone series in the first movement of his 「String Quartet no.3」. These twelve-tone series are used in both melodies and accompaniment. But sometimes he did not follow this fundamental rule to pursue musical thought even though he made use of the twelve-tone system in this piece. This thesis is focused on not only theme melodies, but also first ostinato motive of accompaniment and the relationship of balance between Scho¨nberg's primary and secondary musical thought can be considered in the theme melodies and the first motive of accompaniment. That is to say, Scho¨nberg shows how the main melodies and the supported ostinato motives match well together from the examples of his own musical main thought, environs thought, and relative thought. This is an specific example that Scho¨berg can develop his musical logic in his piece perfectly only when all of musical elements are in harmony. This is different with tonal music which is depends on the development of just main melody. Scho¨nberg says that the meaning of composition skill of the twelve-tone system is a reproduction of the traditional tonal harmony and is for systematization of the process of entire musical elements. So, he unites between the traditional composition techniques with and his twelve-tone system. 「String Quartet no. 3」 is also composed using both old and new. Unusually, there was no sensation in the first performance of the 「String Quartet no. 3」. But his critics said Scho¨nberg could not overcome his fantastic musical theory deeply and this piece was an expression of the Dadaism.1」 However, When it was performed at Frankfurt in 1928, Adomo was fascinated with this 「String Quartet no. 3」 and he evaluated this piece as a 'very influential music'. The article 「Why is it difficult to understand Scho¨nberg's music」 of Alban Berg says several common characteristics of atonal music. these characteristics include similar variety of harmonies, various methods of cadences, equal use for each tone in twelve-tone system, well-matched harmonies with melodies, unsymmetrical and unlimited composition in musical theme, abundant variation skills, inclusive polyphony, and various and subdivisible rhythms. Scho¨nberg's 「String Quartet no. 3」 uses abundant various rhythms, variation skills with motive, counterpoint skills, and musical theme development based on traditional harmonic function. This piece includes various characteristics of atonal music which Alban berg notes in his article. Scho¨nberg's 「String Quartet no.3」, composed with abundant musical skills, shows the serious musical thought of the composer and his musical beauties. This breaks general opinions that Scho¨nberg's piece is difficult to understand.
초대교회 시대부터 현재에 이르기까지 예배에 있어서 시편은 계속적으로 중요한 위치를 차지해 왔다. 시대에 따라 연주법과 작곡법이 다르고, 노래하는 사람이 성가대이거나 독창자, 혹 회중 등으로 다를 수는 있지만 예배를 위하여 시편이 필요없다고 여겨진 세대는 분명히 없었다. 수세기 동안 로마 카톨릭 교회에서는 예배의 모든 순서를 그레고리오 성가에 따라 노래하였으나, 약 10세기부터 지극히 단순한 다성음악이 생겼으며 13세기부터는 3성부나 4성부로 된 모테트 형식이 발전되었다. 그리고 15세기말쯤이 되어서야 시편의 말씀을 가지고 다성 음악으로 작곡한 작품들이 보이게 되었다. 카톨릭 교회의 리터지 에서는 예배시간마다 시편 5곡을 이용하였고 루터교, 성공회, 개혁교회 및 다른 신 교회에서도 17세기쯤부터 역시 많은 곡을 필요로 했다. 시편을 사용한 이러한 긴 역사 속에서 음악작곡법이 수없이 변형되었고 이것은 많은 작곡가들에게 언제나 새로운 자극이 되었다. 무반주 성악 폴리포니 양식에서 반주부가 달린 독창과 합창을 위한 풍부한 형식까지 매우 많은 양의 교회음악 문헌이 되었다. 본 논문은, 시편송 장르에 매우 많은 양의 작품이 있는 것 같다고 생각하여 이에 대해 확실히 알기 위해 구체적인 연구를 시작하게 되었다. 일년이 넘는 기간 동안 연구한 결과, 방대한 수의 작품이 작곡되었다는 것은 알게 되었지만 확실한 곡 숫자를 알아보는 것은 매우 힘들었다. 가장 큰 이유는 대부분의 참고문헌에서 많은 작곡가의 곡 목록이 나오고 그 중 중요하게 여겨지는 곡들을 일일이 언급한 다음 “그 외에도 모테트 100여곡, 시편송 55곡, 다른 교회용 음악도 작곡하였다”는 식으로 소개가 되어 있으므로 무슨 시편송에 의한 곡인지 전혀 알 길이 없었기 때문이다. 따라서 이런 내용들을 이 논문에도 기입할 수 없었던 것은 유감스러운 사실이다. 확실히 알 수 있는 시편송의 곡 숫자는 4480곡이다. 제일 인기 있는 시편은 51편(677곡), 110편(404곡), 113편(251곡), 117편(207곡), 112편(189곡), 111편(168곡), 100편(159곡), 130편(148곡)이다. 하지만 이렇게 많이 작곡하게 된 곡들 중에서도 각 세기마다 똑같은 반응이 나타나지는 않는다. 그것은 분명히 역사의 흐름에 따라 각 시대가 시편의 내용을 다른 눈으로 보았던 것과, 개인과 기독교 공동체의 신앙변화와 뚜렷한 관계가 있는 것으로 보인다.
Rhythm is the most important of all musical components. There could be no music without rhythm, whereas there is much music that has neither melody nor harmony. Music educators emphasize the development of rhythmic perception and response in music education. Because these are essential abilities for all musical activities, children would have difficulty in musical perception and cognition with them. Most music teachers recognize the importance of rhythm in music education, but they don't sufficiently understand the different attributes of rhythm. Rhythm structure, both as an objective physical phenomenon and as a psychological phenomenon, is explained. These two attributes of rhythm are considered as mathematical and musical rhythm, respectively, Music psychologist Jeanne Bamberger's study of children's graphic representations of music is analyzed. Bamberger found that the drawings of children fall into two categories, which she labeled 'figural' and 'metric'. The differences between the two types are based on the kinds of features and relations the children chose or were able to determine : children who made metric drawings focused their attention on measuring the relative duration of events. In contrast, children who made figural drawings focused their attention on grouping of performed events into phrase or figures. Rhythmic groupings may be different for different children while listening to music. Various representational drawings by children for the conventional notation of two short rhythmic sequences are introduced from Bamberger's work to help in understanding the multiple hearing modes of children in rhythm cognition. The purpose of this study is to help in understanding the different attributes of the physical phenomenon of mathematical rhythm and the psychological phenomenon of musical rhythm on a psychological basis, and based on Bamberger's study, to introduce different strategies that children use for rhythmic cognition while listening to short rhythmic sequences. Music teachers should be aware of the attributes of rhythm and both the figural and metric interpretations of the drawings of children and should understand the multiple hearing modes of music cognition that children use and their potential in musical structure. Music teachers who understand the psychological basis of music education can better help children to develop musical intelligence.
This study suggests a practical analytic method, by which one can analyze tonal music. The essay begins by testifying the validity of Rameauian harmonic theory and of traditional harmonic analysis by Roman numerals. The analytical limit which the traditional methodology of the harmonic analysis poses is supplemented and combined with the theoretical strengths that Schenkerian theory provides. In contrast to the conventional harmonic analysis by Roman numerals, which focuses exclusively on local levels of the chord to chord, what I call the macro-analysis, in which the individual labels of each chord are jointed through brackets under the chord symbols, incorporates a deep understanding of the harmonic functions of each chord and of the musical contexts and the harmonic syntax that the chords create. The examination of the tonal harmony from a Schenkerian point of view serves as a basis for the application of the eclectic methodology, the dialectical result of the Rameauian and Schenkerian theories, to tonal music. Excerpts from Schubert's Lied, Nact and Tra¨ume and Chopin's Nocturne in A^(b) major, Op. 32, no. 2 are analyzed both by the macro-analytic technique and by the Schenkerian analytic method. The paper reveals that the two analytic methods lead to quite similar analytic results.
이 논문은 20세기 후반 건축을 선두로 문학, 미술, 철학등 각 예술 분야에 대두된 포스트모더니즘의 미학을 중심으로 동양 현대음악의 시간적 구조를 살펴본 연구이다. 음악에 있어서 포스트모더니즘은 르네상스 이후 서양음악의 불문율로 여겨왔던 "목적 지향적 시간론(goal-oriented notion of time)"을 파기하고, 새로운 시간개념의 도입을 가능케 한 중요한 논리적 배경이 되었다. 특히 동양적 에토스(ethos)에 근거한 동양 현대 작곡가들의 작품들은 흔히 서양적 관점에서 보면 "목적 지향적 시간구조"의 결여로 이해되어져, 서양 예술론을 적용하기보다는 "이국적 정서(exoticism)" 혹은 "오리엔탈리즘"으로 이해되어져 왔다. 그러나 이 새로운 음악적 시간개념은 동-서양 현대작곡가의 작품을 하나의 통일된 예술론으로 이해할 수 있는 중요한 인식변화를 가져왔다. 이 논문을 통하여 필자는 포스트모던 건축학자 로보트 스턴(Robert Stern)의 "전통적 (Traditional) 포스트모더니즘과 분리파적(Schismatic) 포스트모더니즘론," 레오날드 마이어의 "비목적론적 시간론(NOn-teleology)"등을 바탕으로 포스트모더니즘의 한 시간적 특성을 "시간의 해방(the Emancipation of time)"으로 정의하였다. 한편, 동양철학이나 예술에 나타난 시간적 구조는 "순화적 시간(Circular Time)"과 "초월적 시간(Transcendental Time)"으로 구분 짓고, 그 들의 이중적 혹은 다중적 사용-시간의 이중성(Double Perception of Time)을 서양 포스트모더니즘 시간 구조와 비교, 고찰하였다. 필자는 이 논제를 위하여 일본의 도-루 타케미츠(Toru Takemitsu), 한국의 필자 자신, 중국의 탄 둔(Tan Dun)등 극동의 세 작곡가를 선택하여, 그들 작품에 나타난 음악적 시간구조를 분석하였다. 즉, 이 세 동양작곡가들 작품에 나타난 시간적 특성을 중심으로 그들의 창작과정이나 작품, 음악어법 등을 포스트모니즘이라는 새로운 시각으로 재조명하였다.
It is the purpose of this study to document the decline of voice leading concept for the twentieth-century tonality.In this essay I shall try to show how Shostakovich achieves a sense of unity through the association of interval structures made up of linear melodic patterns and of the voice leading provided by accompanimental harmonic figures.Some twentieth-century music seems to invite the use of traditional analysis.Lots of music by Stravinsky, Bartok, Berg, and even Schoenberg has a kind of tonal sound, at least in certain passage. But on closer inspection, we generally find that tonal theory has little to tell us about most twentieth-century music. When twentieth-century composers create a tonal sound, they usually do so by using non tonal means. And for a piece to be tonal, it must have two things: functional harmony and traditional voice leading. But, a piece is not tonal, does not mean it can't have pitch or pitch-class centers. All tonal music is centric, but not allcentric music is tonal.Post-tonal voice leading models are 3 patterns. The first has its bases in the theories of Heinrich Schenker. The second has its the pitch-class set of Allen Forte and others. The third has its bases in recent theoretical work by David Lewin. The prolongational analysis identifies some tones as structural and others as embellishing. Associational analyses linear projections of harmonic type from musical surface. Transformational model shifts our attention from the chords themselves operations, transformations, that connect them.Nowadays, many composers are again exploring the possibilities of synthesis of tonal and atonal procedures. The time is ripe to approach voice leading techniquesanalytically.
A¨gypten hat wegen seiner eigenen Kulturscha¨tze aus Dreitausend jahrelange Geschichte sta¨ndig die Reisenden und Historiker bezaubert und deren Interesse erweckt. Doch solange das Schrifttum schweigt bis zur Entzifferung der Hieroglyphen,konnte die Geschichte A¨gyptens gar nicht wissenschaftlich wahrgenommen werden Die Rezeption der alta¨gyptischen Musilk in der Musikgeschichtsschreibung war nichtsoviel anders.Von einer wissenschaftlichen A¨gpytologie kann erst seit der Entzifferung der Hieroglyphenschrift durch Jean F. Champollion im Jahre 1822 gesprochen werden.Nach der Entstehung und Ausbreitung der vergleichenden Musikwissenschaft um diese Jahrhunderwende ermo¨glicht die intensive Forschungen u¨ber die a¨gyptische Musik Die Vertiefung der a¨gyptischen Musik ist erst bei Hans Hickmann gelungen.Besonders viel verdanken wir seinen Erforschungen, weil er wa¨hrend seines langja¨hrigen Aufenthalts in A¨gypten die Rekonstruktion der a¨gyptischen Musikkultur durch seine u¨ber 150 vero¨ffentlichen Schiften beitragen hat.Eine musikwissenschaftliche Untersuchung u¨ber die alta¨gyptische Musik bedeutetim engeren Sinne eine musikarcha¨ologische Untersuchung. Musikarcha¨ologie ist eine interdisziplina¨re Forschung, die auf Grundlage der Musikwissenschaft und Archa¨-ologie neue Kenntnisse zu gewinnen sucht. Musikarcha¨ologische Artefakte sind in erster Linie Musikinstrumente oder archa¨ologische Funde, auf denen Musikinstrumente be. deren Auffu¨hrungspraxis dargestellt sind. Als drittes Material sind die schriftlichen Texte zu nennen. Wie sich das Wissen u¨ber alta¨yptische Musik erweitern la¨-Bt,liegt in der Hand der Musikarcha¨logie selbst, die aus der Perspektive der A¨-gyptologie und interdisziplina¨ren Forschung gefo¨rdert werden mu¨Bte.
Mit der hier vorliegenden kurzgefassten Studie wird versucht, ueber Alkuin's(Alcuin Flaccus, oder Alchuinus. oder Alcvin, selbst genannt Albinus ca.735-804) in Latcin gcfasstc Abhandung mit dem Titcl 'Musica' zu berichten Die wichtigste Absicht ist eine erstmalige Uebersetzung von Latein ins Koreanisch. wobei auch die Auswahl der Woerter vom Alkuin untersucht und bestimmt wird.Die entscheidende Bedeutung Alkuin's Musica liegt darin, dass die Musica als Erstere ueber Kirchenmodi berichter Seit die Aliuin's von Martin Gerbert in seinem "Scriptores ecclesiastici de musica sacra potissimum" im Jahr 1784 erstein Mal erschienen ist ist die Echtheit dieser Abhandlung sehr umstritten, bis WBrambach im Jahr 1883 seine Echtheit bezeugt hat. Der deutsche Kirchenmusikwissenschaftler U Kornmueller hat in seiner Reihenbericht mit dem Titel 'Die alten Theoretiker' in KmJb ueber den Inhalt der Alkuin's Musica kurzerhand berichtet Die fast alle lexikalischen Angaben beruhen sich auf diese oben genannten xwei Theoretiker, ausr Herrn Guschee im Grove's Artikel.Nach genauer Untersuchung und Uebersetzung kann man folgende Ergebnisseaussprechen.Erstens zeigt die Beschreibung Alkuin's, dass die Westeuropaeer sich am Ende ndes achten Jahrhunderts von dem griechischen Tonsystem ganz befreit ungihre eigenen Kichentoene aufgbaut und dazu die theoretische Grundlage einigermassen fering gestellt hat. Aber Alkuin verwendete immer noch die griechischen Namcn fuer die Kirchenmodi und noch keine Bezeichnung wie Dorius oder phrigius usw. Er unterschied nur zwischen authentischen und plagalen Modi und dazugehoerige Ambitus. Zweitens kann man sagen, dass die Lage des Tenorsan dieser Zeit schon festgelegt wurde, aber ueber die Gestaltung der Finalis Keine Aussage vorfand. Dritlens scheint es durchaus sicher zu sein, dass diese Kirchenmodi in sciner Zeit in ganzen Europa breite Verwendung fanden, auch dadurch, dass der Verfasser Alkuin als Englaender in Rom und Deutschland arbeitete, und als Erzieher und Verwalter der verschiedenen Schulen seine immeseFaehigkeit zergte.
The aims of this study are to enhance musical thinking through solfege activities.The progress idea of musical thinking in process has important implications for the performer and the music teacher in that it calls our attention to important issues such as the purpose of musical comprehension through utilizing the system of solfege learning.In regareds to the Koda'ly choral method, functional melody and harmony of solfege materials are approached through singing practice and ear training exercises as well as through more intensive structural analysis of excerpts from solfege exercises, masterpieces and their stylistic characteristics.In this study, solfege activities are categorized in three parts.The major three activities are (ⅰ) concern about musical reading and inner hearing.(ⅱ) developing harmony and form with group work.(ⅲ) imagery to help memory.Materials along with fragments of the Koda'ly exercises, the solfege activities excerpts from the late Renaissance, Baroque and Viennese Classical and Romanticperiods. It is closely tied to studies of materials and activities of learning sequences in solfege teaching.Aspects of solfge activities enhance students musical and pedagogical experiences by means of gradually developed Knowledge.In conclusion, utilizing the system of solfge learning develops musical thinking and the mature of choral activity. It is hoped that this study will sere as an opportunity to help develop musical understanding and to experience music itself.
This study provides a possibility of analysing rhythmic attributes of contemporary music through contour theory.The early idea of pitch contour occured as early as 1948 in the writing ofcomposers such as Toch and Schoenberg Over a decade later, the work of Charles Seeger, Charles Adams, and Micczyslaw Kollinski set forth the theories of contour analysis But, in the music theory, the concept was formalized by Robcrt Morris Michael Friedmann, and Larry Polansky, Elizabeth Marvin and Robert Morris, in particular, have signiflcantly developed the analytical methodology with which to apply the contour thory.contrast to the previous results of contour music analysis, which focused onpitch element, this analysis presumes that the rhytbms also show similar characterTo prove the hypothesis this thesis re-classified the Elizabeth Marvin and Noel Painenr's rhythmic analysis theories and adjusted the result into Stockhousen's In freundschaft. As a result the number of rtythmic characters that continuously appear in contemporary music were found Also, the possibility of defining similarities of ythmic element through various methods by adjusting the theories including inversion and retrograde, that are similar to set theory, was found.The contour theory will be a good example of analysing rhythms in contemporary music that were believed to be inconsistent in the past.
The aim of this paper is to examine education programs of music at the ArtSchool of Yanbian University, an academic institution for ethnic Koreans living inChina, and to present the outlook for and ways to improve the school's music education.To do so, this paper looks into first college education offered to Ethnic Koreans and secondly courses and goals introduced by the School of Art of Yanbian University. Thirdly, this paper deals with courses provided by each department of the school before proposing ways to improve the music education in the future.This research contains an in-depth analysis of education offered by the Yanbian Art School in 2001 centering on music programs. The school comprises four colleges of music. fine arts. dancing arts and drama and the Music College has been growing steadily since it was promoted to a college unit in 1993.and now has some 70 professors, 10 administrative staff and 700 students. So far about 350 music majors have graduated the school and recently a master's degree course wasopened.The music college consists of 3 departments - Music Education Departmentmostly aimed at fostering music teachers, Music Expression Department for students wishing to become musicians and Composition Technique Theory Department focused on nurturing composers and conductors. Students are judged by course scores, field research, practical training (ranging from presentation, to work production and teaching training) and thesis. Of the above, course scores are known to account for a relatively larger past of the total evaluation compared to other music schools.The last part of the paper presents ways to further develope and improve the music school as follows.First, the school must reduce the credits allocated to regular teaching courses and instead increase credits for basic music education and compulsory courses, while downsizing total credits in general.Second, the school must add popular music and video music departments to the xisting programs so that students keep in touch with modern trends music.Third, the school must promote exchange and field study programs through presentation, filed experiments, overseas study programs and credits for exchange programs.Fourth and finally, the school must create an environment where professors are committed to research work, as well as extend support for professors so that they can enhancc their knowledge and teaching skills.
The form of the first movements of Mozart's Concerto for T재 pianos andOrchestra, K.242(1776) and Concerto for Three Pianos and Orchestra, K.365(1779)is the topic of this paper, from the point of views of Johann Christian Bach'sConcerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra, Op. 7 as a model and of Robert Levin'sformal skim of Mozart's mature piano concertos.Among concertos composed in Salzburg during the same years, there is no significant difference in formal organization. The double and triple concerto havesome common features. The concertos are based on the three-tutti from: opening,middle, and final. The layout of thematic materials is very systematic--regular use of sujet libre is a notable feature. The placement of half-cadence(in the tonic anddominant) is rather regular and important. The duplication or proliferation of the closing material are found. The formal organizations of the first movements of these two concertos follow not only Mozart's model concertos, J. C. Bach's Op. 7,but match well with Levin's formal skim of Mozart;s mature solo piano concertos.
It is the purpose of this study to document the decline of cosmopolitism in Lasso's music. Lasso and Palestrina were spoken of important masters of Franco-Netherland School, and in many ways, Lasso(1532-94) compares with Palestrina(1525-94). Whereas Palestrina spent his entire life in and around Rome, Lasso traveled widely. Both Lasso's career and his music contrast with those of the contemporary composer. He was a Netherlander by birth, but the mutual influence of Romans, Venetians, Netherlanders, Germans, and the rest had produced something approaching a pan-European style. Wherea Palestrina concentrated his attention almost on sacred music, Lasso displayed a virtuosity in every style and genre of his time. Lasso is one of the last of the great cosmopolitan. Lasso was the most prolific composer of the 16th century. He comprised about 60 masses, 500 motets, 170 madrigals, 150 chansons, 90 german lieders, and so on. His mass was drawn from secular sources, from madrigals and chansons, occasionally from motets by himself or others. Lasso was the supreme master of 16th century motet. His motets, which owe something to the lighter style of the madrigal, were a literature themselves. In the last quarter of the 16th century, the Italian madrigal became widely popular. Under the influence of the madrigal, the chanson lost some of the characteristics it had possessed during the second third of the period. For Lasso's german lieders, he lived and worked in Germany during the his mid-twenties, so he published no lied until 1567. In a comparison of Lasso with Palestrina, certain similarities could be cited: each possessed a flawless technique, and each revelled in its use; Both were conservative musicians, perhaps by treatment but certainly in accord with the demands of the positions they held.
Before I studied this paper, I studied "the Research of the Documents Treated in Chosoˇn-wangjo-sillok": Laying emphasis on the Document. That study was to identify where and how 16 kinds of the documents were mentioned. It's intention was to identify how a policy of courtesy and music in Chosoˇn was acted. Among those researches, it was made certain that Aksoˇ 『樂書』 written by Jin Yang 陳暘 was totally 38 times mentioned and discussed in Chosoˇn-wangjo-sillok『朝鮮王朝實錄』. It was the most frequent appearances among 16 documents quoted in Akhak-kweboˇm 『樂學軌範』, so it was concluded that Aksoˇ was used as the important music document in Chosoˇn. A purpose of this paper is to identify where Aksoˇ written by Chin Yang is mentioned and quoted and to reveal how it is used in Chosoˇn's music and courtesy policy. Revised CD-ROM Chosoˇn-wangjo-sillok translated into Korean published in 1997 is used in that way to study this paper. And the range of this study is from Taejo-sillok 『太祖實錄』 to Ch'oˇljong-sillok 『哲宗實錄』. Besides, I'll identify the content of Aksoˇ, so that I intend to aid the understanding of this paper. Chin Yang's Aksoˇ was mainly used to establish the musical policy from T'aejong 太宗 Period to Sejong 世宗 Period (1418-1450) in Korea Dynasty, it was identified that they hunt for akgong 樂工 at Tang 唐 (China) and then learn the music. And Pak Yoˇn 朴堧 was allowed to edit the music books including an instrumental method and how to make sheet, because he needed a theoretic basis to establish 'royal court of music'. In addition to this, Pak Yoˇn tried to establish music grounding old system such as Aksoˇ written by Chin Yang. According to Chosoˇn-wangjo-sillok, CHin Yang's Aksoˇ was reflected at the musical policy in Sejong Period, especially the content of Akkidosoˇl 『樂器圖說』. In Aksoˇ, not only royal court musical instrument and the ritual things are presented by a picture but also the shape, construct and rendition of the instrument are presented in detail. Therefore Aksoˇ played an important role as a guide in a policy of courtesy and music in the early Chosoˇn times (1392-1592). Aksoˇ which had wide content used to be evaluated in that it had important literal values in the study of chinese music history and the study of music theory, especially in the study of eastern music and culture. As noting in this paper, the content of Aksoˇ which explained by a picture in detail is mentioned and quoted in a policy of courtesy and music by some confucian scholars including Pak Yoˇn in the early Chosoˇn times. And Aksoˇ is quoted 52 times in Akhak-gweboˇm 『樂學軌範』 edited in Soˇngjong 成宗 Period (1469-1494), so it is revealed to be dealt as and important music book. Therefore Aksoˇ is valued as an important book in the study of Chosoˇn's music history. Aksoˇ is mentioned 38 times in Chosoˇn-wangjo-sillok. Accordingly it is sure that Aksoˇ written by Jin Yang is important in the establishment of a policy of courtesy and music in Chosoˇn.
Music, melody, harmony, rhythm, symphony, orchestra, organ, chorus, chord, tone and so on, the world owes these words to the Greeks. Ancient Greek culture was permeated with music. However, the subject, "Music in Greek Life" is practically ignored by all of us. Sometimes its very existence seems to be barely acknowledged. We can learn about music in ancient Greek by several ways; the evidence of archaeology and art; the innumerable references to music and music-making scattered through Greek literature from the eighth century B. C. onwards; specialist writing on music, e. g. Aristoxenus of Tarentum; non-literary documents, especially inscriptions, occasionally also papyri; actual musical scores. In ancient Greek culture, music, song and dance were seen as being, together with orderly sacrifices to the gods and athletic facilities for men, the most characteristic manifestations of a civilized community in peacetime. The Greek thought above all of the music and song associated with the public worship of the gods. Not everything, however, had to be subordinated to the god's needs. A paean or dithyramb might contain much that had little relevance to the deity being honoured. Offering prizes for the best singer or instrumentalist was a natural development. In B. C. 5th century, there were competitions for rhapsodes at the festival of Asclepius at Epidaurus. There must have been many opportunities for hearing epic song other than at festivals, but festivals will have been a common setting. In the society portrayed in the Homeric poems it is music and song that provide the normal entertainment of the household. Much of the elegiac and lyric poetry of the seventh, sixth, and fifth centuries was composed to be sung at the symposium. Certainly at Athens in the fifth century symposiasts regularly sang songs or excerpts from 'classic' poets. The ability to play the lyre was not uncommon among the archaic nobility. While the men made merry, the women of the household also were singing too in their own quarters. Children's songs must not go unmentioned. The picture has been deliberately limited to the Archaic and Classical periods (eighth to fourth centuries), in order to maintain a semblance of coherence.
