碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 音樂學研究所碩士班 === 99 === In Taiwanese music culture, Hakka ba-yin music has its rich tradition. It can be classified primarily into southern and northern Hakka ba-yin, each of them contains different instrumentation and musical form from the other; and to a certain degree, their styles had been integrated with other genres in Taiwanese folk music. This dissertation focuses first on a traditional ba-yin qupai (the title of a particular tune) in southern Taiwan, called ''wu ta tiao'': a delicate four-players ensemble. Through field recordings, visual and audio information, document induction, and analyzing musical notations, one could understand the history, musical content, performing character of wu ta tiao, and how it work in Hakka ba-yin music at Meinung. Composition for Chinese orchestra "Concerto Grosso for Hakka Ba-yin Music" written by Chen Ning-chi in 2006, and another composer Chen Shu-si''s work for symphony orchestra "Concerto for Ba-yin Music" composed in 2007, are both based on the qupai ''wu ta tiao''. By studying these two Compositions, not only could this author realize the transcribing techniques used in the works, such as deformation, fusion, transplantation etc, but also observe how ba-yin ensemble in the oral tradition and compositions for western or Chinese orchestra in the written tradition is combined, and how music unfolds through this combination. Furthermore, do these two compositions which developed from ''wu ta tiao'' in Hakka ba-yin help popularizing Hakka music, is also discussed in this research. Since academically publications about southern Hakka ba-yin musical art are not so many, this study is hoped to arise more compositions and researches for Hakka music, and make its little contribution to Hakka ba-yin music in southern Taiwan.
