碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 音樂系碩士在職專班音樂學組 === 102 === In recent years, crossover music has become popular among Taiwan''s artistic circle. This new interest has influenced Chinese Orchestra including the renowned Taipei Chinese Orchestra (TCO). TCO is the oldest professional Chinese Orchestra formed by Taiwan government. TCO was developed in the last several decades and has lead the Taiwan contemporary Chinese Orchestra into the future. Since 1988, the Taipei City government has coordinated the Taipei Traditional Arts Festival each year. We can easily observe Taiwan contemporary Chinese Orchestra evolution and Taiwan Traditional Art heritage and innovation annually at the festival program. Since 2008, under the leader of Director General Yiu-Kwong Chung, TCO has become more diversified and become more internationally known. Each year Taipei Traditional Arts Festival uses a different theme from the one used in the previous year to provide variety and to introduce something new. During the two month festival, you will find crossover music''s footprint through program design and song list planning. What is “Crossover”? What does “Crossover” mean? And what is the connection between Chinese Orchestra and Crossover? How can we connect Crossover with Chinese Orchestra? In this thesis, we will observe from 2008～2012 Taipei Traditional Arts Festival program contents. We will use festival program coordination and song list arrangement to find the most common Chinese Orchestra crossover music type; moreover to understand Taipei Chinese Orchestra crossover musical style.
