Research on Epic Music Paradigm
by Yao Hui
About This Novel
The study of the epic "Gesar(S)er" has always been a hot topic at home and abroad, but its music research has received less attention, and cross-ethnic music comparative studies are even rarer. In this context, this book first conducts a textual comparison of the four Chinese translations of the "Hor" chapter of the Tibetan and Mongolian epic "Gesar(S)er", and uses specific characters and investigation questions as the starting point to observe the narrative patterns of the two nations that are different but have similarities; secondly, it uses archive collections and field records Based on the data, this paper selects the epic performance fragments of "Gesar(S)er" from three ethnic groups of Tibet, Mongolia and Turkey to compare and analyze music samples, proposes a conceptual system of epic music paradigm, and reveals the expression code of oral thinking behind it by exploring the acoustic model of the epic text. ; Once again, through the study of the music ontology and related culture of "Gesa(S)er", we explore the uniqueness and diversity of epic music in the Tibetan and Mongolian national music tradition; Finally, we consider the construction of music in "Gesa (S)er" from the three dimensions of orality, survival and belief, and interethnic communication. Why is the epic "Gesa (S)er" sung? Based on the rich collection of Chinese epic music "Gesa (S)er" and the sustainability of oral inheritance, it is believed that future research on the music of "Gesa (S)er" can provide a unique "Chinese perspective" for the study of world epic music.
