| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣藝術大學 === 中國音樂學系 === 105 === The composer Kuan Nai-Chung is a renowned Chinese composer and director contributing substantially to contemporary Chinese music with numerous compositions for Chinese music and for various instruments, including Chinese ensemble works and concertos for Chinese instruments. The study aims to analyze Kuan’s composition for bamboo flute The Childhood, which is a work commissioned by the Chinese music department of National Taiwan University of Arts in 2008 and premiered by the NTUA Chinese orchestra and the bamboo flute soloist Lin Chia-Ho at National Concert Hall.
The author has integrated Kuan Nai-Chung’s composing process, background and materials through literature review and interviews, and probed into Kuan’s composing methods and styles through musical analysis. Concerning musical interpretation, on the ground of former musical analysis with interviews and video observations, the author constructed a different viewpoint from the premier soloist regarding the re-interpretation
The melody of The Childhood is developed on the ground of the Taiwanese folk song The Sky Is Dark by means of variation form and rhythmic variations on the original skeleton melody. The author divides the whole piece into thirteen sections, including variation I, theme, variation II to VI, bridge section, recapitulation of theme, variation IV, VII, and back to Variation I, and the piece can also be concisely summarized as a ABA ternary form or a ritornello form. The Childhood, applying materials from Taiwanese folk songs with western composing methods, not only brings a new acoustic experience to the audiences but does inherit elements of Taiwan music in a distinct way.
