This book is devoted to one of the world's greatest late
twentieth-century symphonists, Chinese composer Zhu Jianer. Each of
his 10 symphonies is discussed in detail and can be grouped into
such concepts as the Cultural Revolution (nos. 1-2), an emphasis on
human topics (nos. 3-4-5), and his continuous expansion of
traditional symphonic boundaries (nos. 6-7-8-9-10). Zhu's
symphonies can be relevant to all peoples and all cultures due to
his concern for heaven, earth, and humankind. This in-depth
discussion of Chinese and Western elements in Zhu's symphonies
includes such topics as his free use of twelve-tone rows, his
exploration of sound possibilities, his diverse and fascinating
approaches to musical form, the concept of the lonely individual
struggling within a decadent society, and his belief that humans
must be ethical and responsible to ensure future hope for
humankind. Courses in symphonic literature, Asian composers, or
intercultural composers would benefit significantly from this book.
