碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 音樂學系研究所 === 95 === By analyzing my three composition works, the thesis is to discuss the creative ideas of contemporary compositions for Chinese traditional instruments, and to explore musical styles and thoughts of contemporary compositions for Chinese traditional instruments. These three compositions, “Dialogue”, written for erhu and yangqin, “Yangqin Capriccio”, written for yangqin and zheng, and “Yunya”, written for four Chinese traditional instruments and four western instruments, combine the composition techniques of Western music and the emphasis on the concept of lines and timbre of the East, and transform thoughts of traditional music into innovative spirit of contemporary music. Using traditional music and traditional instruments as the main elements of music is one way of composing for many contemporary Eastern composers. In addition to inputting the idea of traditional music into works, composers experiment their own musical thoughts in the music, as well as combining the composition techniques and theory of the Western modern music. This new way of composing has opened up a different world for the Chinese traditional music and instruments, and has shown great varieties of music.
