Improvisation is likely to change the tune of a folk song during the process of transmission, and consequently, a folk song may appear various versions. For example, there are more than 50 versions of 'sixiangqi' existing in Taiwan; however, improvisation has not yet been fully discussed in respect of its method and patterns in Taiwanese folk song. This paper aims to illustrate how improvisation 're-creates' the tune of a folk song by analyzing the tune and its relation to the lyrics in Minnan. Therefore, we look at how the idea of 're-creation' has been built up, how folk song performers operate improvisation by changing lyrics and the way of performance, and how this improvisation finally leads to the re-creation of the tune. In order to examine the dynamic relationship between the lyrics and the tune, the computer program Praat is adopted. |
