Course Objectives:
Conduct independent, in-depth research projects using state-of-the-art techniques and methods. CSound and other programming review of research literature required prior to selecting research area. Interdisciplinary collaboration with other technology artists, scientists, or scholar in any acceptable research field. Topics should be related with major domain prior to initiation of research.
Choose from the following research areas:
A core-course in two semesters for all year one students. Those who are interested in writing research paper in music are also welcome. In the first semester, we'll be exploring about the what, why and how of music research, in the second the different sources and resources (literary, notational, audio-visual). We'll be doing a lot of thinking, reading, talking and writing in and out of the classroom. An important companion throughout our journey will be the computer and the Internet. Our aim is to train ourself to be a modern-day musician-scholar, who can make music and make sense of music cleverly and critically. Concrete "product" at the end of the semester will be a mini-conference and an anthology of selected written work.
本課程將透過師生共同參與方式,希冀達成以下目標:
本課程範圍雖然包括台灣音樂史所有時期,但由於日治與戰後時期的史料收集已累積較多的成果(包括文字與影音資料),研讀與分析將以此二時期為主要深入探討的對象。
A writing seminar where individual projects are presented and discussed. Focus will be on theoretical and methodological issues in musicological research and writing. The aim is to help each other to be a more experienced and critical writer of academic paper. The end "product" for each participant will be a revised and improved paper (oral and written). A mini-conference and an anthology of selected paper are planned.
本課程將帶領學生回歸至作曲家對作品的原創意念,並瞭解其初始之演奏聲響及
探討當代歷史性的演奏實踐之相關問題。
本課程在指導學生瞭解數位音樂製作流程與軟硬體技術、電子音樂流派與相關技巧、以及如何利用現有的音樂科技、多軌混音軟體、聲音編輯軟體,來增加音效設計、數位編曲、電子音樂創作之效率與品質。學完此課程後,學生將有能力規劃自己的多媒體配樂專用之小型音樂工作站、並有獨立完成數位多媒體音樂的製作能力。
本課程主要使學生瞭解基礎聲學理論,運用互動式電腦軟體學習整合電腦音樂與電腦化演方式來進行音樂聲學之瞭解,以科技的方法來瞭解聲音與音樂,並透過學習使用MIDI序列編輯程序,以及數位聲波編輯與變換程序,使用數位聲波編輯,音效處理,數位具象音樂,多軌軟體創作電腦音樂,聲波取樣,以及其他聲軌材料之整合,以強化聲學上之體認。
主要對像為具備絃樂器或鋼琴專業演奏能力之學生,也歡迎其他具有音樂專業背景之學生。本課程主要透過討論、閱讀、報告及聆聽等方式,主要針對古典絃樂組合或絃樂與鋼琴組合之室內樂作品,進行研究與討論,期望達到以研究輔助演奏之目標。
本課程的內容包含英文詩詞朗誦練習、英文藝術歌曲演唱、鋼琴伴奏技巧等詮釋研究。課程中將針對英、美重要作曲家的聯篇套曲,例如:Roger Quilter、R. Vaughan Williams、Gerald Finzi、Benjamin Britten、Samuel Barber、Aaron Copland、Dominick Argento、Ned Rorem等之作品做研究,期望學生能進一步的認識與詮釋英文藝術歌曲。
