碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 音樂學系中國音樂組 === 102 === The most important element in Beijing Opera is music, and the music consists of four closely linked and inseparable parts: music for voice, recitative, tunes (qu-pai) and Beijing opera percussion. The study especially emphasizes on the percussion part for it plays a leading and crucial character in Beijing opera music concerning the development of a plot, the atmosphere of a play and so on. Besides, while studying the Chinese perfusion, the researcher also found out the closed tie between Beijing opera percussion and Chinese percussion. Therefore, this paper focused the main research direction on the application of Beijing opera percussion into Chinese percussion music. Three pieces are discussed in the study: 1, Ye Shen Chen, adapted by Li Min-Xiong from Beijing opera with arrangement of drums by Wang Jian-Hua; 2, Nao Tien Gong, drum set arranged by Li Hui and Beijing opera percussion arranged by Lu Yung-Hui; 3, the Ju Ji ,composed by Chin Kwok-wai, the assistant principal percussionist of Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. The study took these three pieces as examples to analyze the application of Beijing opera percussion into Chinese percussion, and further probe into the connection between these pieces and Beijing opera percussion to construct personal performing interpretation. The study consists of five chapters: Chapter One, preface, including the research motive, research purpose, scope of study and the research methods. Chapter Two is the introduction of Beijing opera percussion,including its history, development and instrumental characteristics. Chapter Three deals with the analysis of how the Beijing opera percussive is applied into the performance of drum set and Chinese bass drum in Ye Shen Chen, Nao Tien Gong and Ju Ji. Chapter Four concerns the performing practices of the three works and Chapter Five is the conclusion. Through this study, the researcher tries to figure out how to apply Beijing opera percussion in the drum set and Chinese bass drum, and hope it will be helpful for both performers and composers in this field.
