On the Multiple Versions of Qupais in Taiwan, Minnan, Hakka and Chaozhou Regions: A Case Study on ''Kaoshan,'' ''Jishengcao,'' ''Jiangjunling,'' and ''Dababan'' in the Context of Zheng Music |
英文摘要 |
This study compares the qupais (titled tunes) for zheng music circulated in Taiwan, Minnan, Hakka, and Chaozhou regions. By looking into musical details, the author explores the interactions between folk music genres and zheng music works and investigates the diverse interpretations and formal variations of individual qupais in zheng performance. Moreover, the differences in zheng performance are also discussed by comparing the four shared qupais in the genres in Taiwan, Minnan, Hakka, and Chaozhou, namely: ''Kaoshan,'' ''Jishengcao,'' ''Jiangjunling,'' and ''Dababan.'' The analysis shows that while some homogeneity can usually be found among the wide range of similar but different qupais, these qupais have also evolved to appropriate distinct features in music. These developments involve variations in tune, intertextuality of the content, formal diversity, crafts for performance, playing techniques, and style. It is the performing texts of zheng music that lead to the differences in form, tonality, phrasing, technique, and style that constitute the diverse interpretations in the multiple versions for specific qupai, with each version being circulated and passed down separately. The acoustic representations of these qupais, diversified and variated in multiple forms, construct the heritage of music genres along with renditions by individual players. These pieces and versions are valuable cultural and artistic assets that embody zheng music interpretations grounded upon generic and stylistic diversity. |
