碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 中國音樂學系碩士班 === 101 === There are a wide range of Chinese music ensemble works, with many of them possessing their own unique style, one of which is the “Qin Dynasty Terracotta Army Fantasia” by Peng Xiuwen, which has become one of the most popular compositions to the Chinese music audiences. I, as the conductor of an orchestra, intend to interpret, analyze and study conduction technique, as well as to grasp rehearsal skills, in order to thoroughly present the musical work in performance and make the audience immerse themselves in the mellifluous melodies so as to fall in love with Chinese music with a view to promoting our national music. Using such methods as the gathering of the literature, work analysis, conduction technique, work interpretations, etc., this study attempts to explore the relations between the development and musical thoughts of the work in a bid to help the orchestras that will later perform this work to have a better grasp of its interpretation and performance technique through a conductor’s direction so as to perform this work successfully after swift and effective rehearsals. A conductor is the soul of an orchestra, and his or her artistic capability is closely related to the development of the orchestra. In order to perform the “Qin Dynasty Terracotta Army Fantasia” with flying colors, a conductor should extricate the orchestra’s potential, allow rehearsals to be accomplished smoothly, and interpret the whole work in an appropriate way so that the audience can properly sense the beauty of the work’s melodies, and then he or she is able to send the orchestra performing on the international stage and reveal the beauty of Chinese national music.
