碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 民族音樂學研究所 === 99 === The study is focus on the “Whirling Dance” by Chung Yiu-Kwong (b. 1956). Written in 2007, Whirling Dance is a flute concerto dedicated to the Sweden flutist Sharon Bezaly. In 2009, the “Whirling Dance” is adapted for bamboo flute by the bamboo flutists Chen Chung-Sen and Dai Ya respectively, and the two different versions for bamboo flute are the subjects of the study. In the author’s viewpoint, a correct access to ponder on how to perform and interpret one piece should be grounded on the sufficient background understanding concerning the composer, style and background of the very subject, on the thorough analyses of the rhythm, tone, harmony, texture and structure, and lastly on the deliberate probe into the content, With the comprehensive survey and understanding towards one piece, we can further discuss the interpretation and performance. The study starts with analyzing the composer’s biography as well as background to discuss his composing methods and composition features, then probing into the “Sufi Dancing” materials applied into the piece, and further interpreting this piece after particular analyses on the musical form and the composing motive. As for the interpretation, it begins with analyzing the usage of instruments to see the influences of hole-added bamboo flutes on performing the “Whirling Dance.” Next, make a comparison between the original version and the two adapted versions to discuss the differences. Last but not least, sum up the former analyses and further conclude the aspect of interpretation of performing the “Whirling Dance.” Recording traits of the modern pieces of bamboo flute by analyzing in different layers, the study is looking forwards to providing future performers with a comprehensive knowledge of “Whirling Dance” and further arousing much more ideas on the interpretation.
