This book explores art song as an emblem of musical modernity in
early twentieth-century East Asia and Australia. It appraises the
lyrical power of art song – a solo song set to a poem in the
local language in Western art music style accompanied by piano –
as a vehicle for creating a localized musical identity, while
embracing cosmopolitan visions. The study of art song reveals both
the tension and the intimacy between cosmopolitanism and local
politics and culture. In 20 essays, the book includes overviews of
art song development written by scholars from each of the five
locales of Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan, and Australia, reflecting
perspectives of both established narratives and uncharted
historiography. The Art Song in East Asia and Australia, 1900 to
1950 proposes listening to the songs of our neighbours across
cultural and linguistic boundaries. Recognizing the colonial
constraints experienced by art song composers, it hears
trans-colonial expressions addressing musical modernity, both in
earlier times and now. Readers of this volume will include
musicologists, ethnomusicologists, singers, musicians, and
researchers concerned with modernity in the fields of poetry and
history, working within local, regional, and transnational
contexts.
