碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 民族音樂學研究所 === 106 === Glove puppetry (pò͘-tē-hì) is one of the traditional Taiwanese theatres. Its style has been developed through different time periods, which is not only popular in all generations but also represents Taiwanese culture as a preforming art. In 2006, about one hundred and thirty thousand Taiwanese people voted glove puppetry as the “Taiwan Image”. Nowadays, the Pi-Li glove puppetry has become the mainstream which is leading the traditional Taiwanese performing arts into a new era. The incidental music of Pi-Li glove puppetry plays an essential part when watching it. Every main Pi-Li glove puppetry character has their unique incidental music and theme songs, which impresses the audience as the story goes more complicated. It also becomes a hot topic when fans discuss their favorite characters. This thesis emphasizes on the incidental music of Pi-Li glove puppetry from three aspects: firstly, the development of the incidental music of Taiwanese glove puppetry though literature reviewing method; secondly, how does Pi-Li glove puppetry create different characters through instrumental incidental music; and lastly, how does the theme songs of different characters represent their personality through melody and lyrics.
