TEACHING POLYPHONIC TECHNIQUES TO CHINESE STUDENTS USING PIANO ENSEMBLES OF CHINESE COMPOSERS

Chinese piano music is a unique phenomenon. Developing under the influence of Western European culture, it has not lost its uniqueness and national identity. Polyphony as a structure of multi-voice music is not characteristic of Chinese piano music, however, elements of polyphonic artistic expressiveness are present in composers’ works quite often. Their use is connected with the solution of a specific artistic problem in each individual work, form- building, as well as with the effective emphasis on the features of intonation, rhythm, and national colour of Chinese music. In musicology, the concept of “Chinese style” appeared, which synthesised the components of national, regional, genre style and even the style of an era into one musical system. The “Chinese style” has become a label for the national cultural identity of Chinese piano music in the world music art. Piano ensemble is a genre that occupies a significant place in the work of Chinese composers. It reflected the traditions and innovations of the “Chinese style”, including in the aspect of the use of polyphonic techniques.

Choral Art of China: Determination of Composing Creativity, Performance and Education

Compared to other types of musical art, the unity of three components – composer creativity, performance and education – in choral practice is the most deterministic. A vivid example of this is the choral art of China, each direction of which has its own characteristic features, peculiar ways of development, vectors of application determined by certain historical and socio-cultural factors, but in general they appear as an inseparable organic alloy. The purpose of the article is to highlight the trinity of composer creativity, performance and education as determinants of the development of choral art in China. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive approach based on historical-cultural, comparative, music-theoretical analysis of the material and theoretical modelling of the structural-logical and substantive characteristics of choral activity. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that the trinity of composer creativity, performance and choral art education in China is considered for the first time as an immanent quality determined by historical development. Conclusions. Since the beginning of the 20th century, Chinese choral culture has been actively assimilating compositional, performing, and educational traditions of a foreign, mostly European, model. In the first half of the century, this was especially evident in the work of composers. Choirs by Chinese composers created in this period are based on the melody of patriotic songs in an organic synthesis with European writing techniques (including polyphonic). In the second half of the 20th century, the emphasis shifted towards performance, which was determined by the socio-political involvement of art, when choral work was a tool of political propaganda. At the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, choral art in China becomes independent, specialised educational institutions are opened in the country, where the training of conducting and choral personnel is carried out. At each stage, each branch of choral art in China had its own characteristics, development trajectory, vectors of application. In general, separate components – composer creativity, performing and educational activities become an inseparable whole during the entire development. This determinism of Chinese choral culture ensured its successful development in the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Fractal Geometry, Fibonacci Numbers, Golden Ratios, And Pascal Triangles as Designs

Fractal geometry is a part of mathematics that discusses the shape of fractals or any form that is self-similarity. A fractal can be broken down into parts that are all similar to the original fractal. Fractals have infinite detail and can have self-similar structures at different magnifications. In many cases, a fractal can be generated by repeating a pattern, which is usually in a recursive or iterative process. In mathematics and art, two values are considered to be a golden ratio relationship if the ratio between the sum of the two values to the large value is equal to the ratio between the large value to the small value. A Fibonacci sequence is a sequence of numbers that has a unique shape. The first term of this sequence of numbers is 1, then the second term is also 1, then for the third term it is determined by adding the two previous terms so that a sequence of numbers with a certain pattern is obtained. Pascal's triangle is a geometric rule of binomial coefficients in a triangle. Shapes that resemble fractal geometry, golden ratios and Fibonacci numbers are found in many places in this realm, for example the shapes of various plants, animals, as well as in humans themselves, even the universe. This fractal geometry can also be used to design batik motif creations, architectural design or musical art. This paper describes how a fractal object can be made with geometric transformations that can be used to develop batik motif creations. And also look at the relationship between fractal geometry, the golden ratio, Fibonacci numbers, and Pascal's triangles and the shapes of these shapes that exist in this nature.

A educação indígena e a educação Musical

This work exposes a discourse presented in the Master’s Dissertation that investigates MUSICAL ART AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL IN THE VITALIZATION OF THE STUDY OF THE MOTHER TONGUE OF THE KOKAMA INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I IN THE COMMUNITY OF SAPOTAL IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF TABATINGA. Music is part of the indigenous life of several indigenous peoples in what is now Brazil, it is part of everything, work, birth, harvesting, rituals and other moments of indigenous life. Music is a human experience. It does not derive from the physical properties of sound, but rather from man’s relationship with sound. Following Penna’s analyses, music is a social and historical phenomenon. Take as an example European music that consolidated the tonal system, creating from its experiences formal codes that Western music obeyed for three centuries. In your system the smallest distance is the perception of smaller intervals. But other people have a different system. The result is when we listen to the music of other peoples, it represents us and to us the music of indigenous peoples may seem strange and in the same way our music seems strange to them. It is clear in the discourse that there is a rupture in mystical concepts regarding music, as it is a production of transcendental origin. In fact, musical sensitivity is not the result of an innate gift, but rather, of acquired stimulus, the result of experience in a given society.
