What’s so Chinese about Chinese-language music?This workshop will explore how to identify ethnic features of music, if there is any, by looking into three levels of factors, from mediums that deliver music (ex. instruments and vocal styles), to musical materials (ex. melodies and lyrics), and finally, elements (ex. tuning and meter). The musical texture and the relationship between the melodic contour and lexical tones of lyrics will also be discussed to examine what Chinese features might be in Chinese-language music, or even the ethnicity in other Asian musical traditions, such as Vietnamese or Thai. Participants are then invited to share how they would use musical devices or languages and show their identity in music.
Let’s get technical and musical with Chinese-language music!
