By incorporating recent achievements of music theorists, composers,
musicologists and ethnomusicologists, this monograph proposes a
multidimensional approach to the analysis of Chinese composers Chen
Yi's music for Western instruments. The analytical procedures are
informed by Richard Waterman's theory of syncretism and Peter
Chang's research on composers' reinterpretation of cultural
elements, which serve to explore Chen Yi's cultural and educational
background in relation to her composition. A set of factor proposed
by Elliott Schwartz and Daniel Godfrey are examined to discover
underlying organizational principles. The first two chapters
provide an overview of Western and non-Western composers'
approaches to cross- cultural fusion in general and Chinese
composers' approaches in particular. The subsequent four chapters
present detailed analyses of Chen Yi's nine work with an emphasis
on underlying organizational principles. The final chapter contains
a summary of Chen Yi's personal style, the evolution of her
concepts of stylistic fusion and related techniques, and evaluates
their significance with respect to successful fusion.
