碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 中國音樂學系碩士班 === 101 === Since the late 1950s, composers and performers have been highly concerned about the idea of "Qinzheng Restoration," initiated by Mr. Cao Zheng, and created a large number of musical works, such as: "Qin Sang Song "(by Zhou Yanjia), "Red Blossoms"(by Jiao Jinhai), "Xiangshan Shot Drum"(by Yun Qu), "Shaanxi Song"(by Wei Jun), "Ella v."(by Zhou Yuguo), and "Wang Qin Chuan" (by Wang Zhongshan), which not only formed the Shaanxi Zheng Group successfully but also developed a unique style of music by continually passing down the tradition and creativity of the profound cultural background of Qinzheng in Shaanxi. In this paper, the main thesis is explored by studying three works, "Jiangnv Tears"(by Zhou Yanjia), "Ella v."(by Zhou Yuguo) and "Qin earth feeling", through the historical context of Shaanxi Zheng Group and the current state of development of Qinzheng, the analysis of composition, the interpretation of performance, version comparison, and the use of bitter tones. As time goes by, the development of Qinzheng has been renovated through the breakthroughs of the structures of song, the styles of performance, and the skills of play by the input of Western music theories and the contribution of professional composers. However, the use of bitter tones can still be found in the modern works of Shaanxi Zheng Group. In this essay, by the analysis of works, the interpretation of music, and the study of bitter tones, we will be able to have newer thoughts of the use of bitter tines; moreover, to create more different styles of works of bitter tones.
