The displacement of Chou Wen-chung from his native China in 1948
forced him into Western-European culture. Ultimately finding his
vocation as a composer, he familiarized himself with classical and
contemporary techniques but interpreted these through his
traditionally oriented Chinese cultural perspective. The result has
been the composition of a unique body of repertoire that
synthesizes the most progressive Western compositional idioms with
an astonishingly traditional heritage of Asian approaches, not only
from music, but also from calligraphy, landscape painting, poetry,
and more. Chou's importance rests not only in his compositions, but
also in his widespread influence through his extensive teaching
career at Columbia University, where his many students included
Bright Sheng, Zhou Long, Tan Dun, Chen Yi, Joan Tower, and many
more. During his tenure at Columbia, he also founded the U.S.-China
Arts Exchange, which continues to this day to be a vital stimulus
for multicultural interaction. The volume will include an inventory
of the Chou collection in the Paul Sacher Stiftung in Basel,
Switzerland.
