Polycultural Synthesis in the Music of Chou Wen-chung (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Arlin, Mary I.; Radice, Mark A.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The displacement of Chou Wen-chung from his native China in 1948 forced him into Western-European culture. Ultimately finding his vocation as a composer, he familiarized himself with classical and contemporary techniques but interpreted these through his traditionally-oriented Chinese cultural perspective. The result has been the composition of a unique body of repertoire that synthesizes the most progressive Western compositional idioms with an astonishingly traditional heritage of Asian approaches, not only from music, but also from calligraphy, landscape painting, poetry, and more.
