本課程除了針對現有臺灣音樂史料與相關研究現況進行瞭解外,並重視多元議題的探討與開發。希望藉由本課程的學習,學生可以認識多元的歷史書寫方式,進而深究音樂生活與社會政經環境的互動關係,並培養批判思考的能力。
課程概述與目標:
課程核心:電腦音樂程式Max/MSP之設計組合與實驗互動音樂小品之創作應用。培養科技運用於音樂創作與演出之手法與技術,引發學生對於當下音樂與科技跨媒介(intermedia)發展趨勢之關注與省思。
主要重點:探索Max/MSP各種即時音訊處理(real time processing)程式(patch)在音樂演奏,創作,實驗即興,聲音藝術表演上之潛在音樂功能,並為達成不同之音樂目的或任務,嘗試設計或組合或建構實用而有效之互動音樂(interactive music)系統。
議題包含:
1. 認識與探討當下科技對音樂創作與展演之影響
2. 探討「即時」與「非即時」兩者在運用上的相關限制與優缺點。
3. 探討結合器樂與電腦/電子音樂兩種媒材在創作上之演算、配器相關問題(algorithms/instrumentation)
4. 探討結合器樂與電腦/電子音樂兩種媒材同步演出方法與記譜法(synchronisation/notation)
5. 探討與分析之現場器樂結合電腦/電子音樂重要作品

此課程主要是幫助學生建立音樂分析的基本概念,同時學習一些音樂分析的基本技巧。整個課程設計以西洋調性音樂為範圍。其中特別著重在分析西元1700年到1900年這200年間的西洋調性音樂。課程目標有下列三點:
1)瞭解調性的層級觀念(tonal hierarchy)和和聲延展(harmony prolongation)。
2)學習各種不同的分析方法,這些方法可用來分析樂曲的曲式、旋律與和聲。
3)將所學的分析方法與技巧,實際應用在音樂作品分析上。
Taking a "hands-on" and interactive heuristic approach, this course provides an open forum for all students to present and discuss their individual projects and conference papers. Theoretical perspectives will be explored as relevant to the practical work at hand. The aim is to help each other to be a more experienced and critical writer of academic paper.
Together the group is also responsible for writing program notes and editing the program booklet for institute recitals.
音樂在記譜中,也在演奏中;音樂是音聲,也是樂思,而這些都隨著時間而有所改變⋯
To understand music as work and as performance, as sound and as idea, and that both are changing in time.
1. Source studies: Recordings and editions
2. Computational skills: Audacity, Sonic Visualizer.
3. Theoretical concept: Reception history
Each student should pursue an individual project in tempo and/or edition studies.
For musicology majors and other students who are interested in independent study, this course will engage historical documents to research into the aesthetics of music in the early 20th century, especially on the topics of modernism and critical theory. As case studies, two works of similar theme and time by two major protagonists of that era are chosen for closer reading: Stravinsky's Petrushka (1910-1911) and Schoenberg's Pierrot lunaire (1912). Participants will learn to read historical sources and current literature sensitively and critically, and gain experience in academic writing.
音樂創作所涵蓋之範圍甚廣,作曲家一生的際遇和各式各樣的養成皆可能成為其創作時所汲取的來源。 透過神祕的過程,作曲家將這些生命中的諸多面向以其認為適切的樣態嵌入於構成某個作品的聲音肌理中並使它們得以再現於自身的創作裡。 作曲家所留存下來的樂譜便是乘載這些聲音的文本,而學習如何閱讀這些文本並據以重構作曲家的表情世界正是所有音樂學習的終極指向。
本學期將以貝爾格 (Alban Berg) 的作品為探索之對象。 首先將縱覽既存的貝爾格研究及其所觸及的議題並就其中所涉及的問題作初步的探討。 繼之,將對貝爾格之全部作品作一歷史年代上的理解,並以早期作品 (不具作品編號者)為檢視之對象更進一步探討上述問題的諸多面向。 最後,將以其編號一至六等六首作品為深入分析的對象,試圖在貝爾格的創作技巧中尋得其美學上的脈絡以作為其音樂詮釋上的可能性。
The Seminar in Performance Practice (or, Performing Practice) is an introductory course on all aspects of the way in which music is and has been performed, with special emphasis on the importance of a historical awareness as a pre-requisite for modern performers. In this comprehensive study, there is no limitation on the kinds of approach to solving interpretational problems, and the basis of the course is to help students reach for a true understanding of the work he or she performs.
The study will require a wide range of reading from historical treatises, critical writings, to present-day discussion on interpretation issues. Actual music will be used for performance studies, and where possible, discography will aid our perspective on the original instrument sound and the various interpretive styles. Students are encouraged, last but not least, to gain first hand experience if at all possible, on some period instruments for important references.
