벤자민 브리튼과 " 중국의 노래 , op. 58 " 에 나타난 절충주의적 기법에 있어서 중국음악과 발리 가멜란의 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Benjamin Britten's compositional method often involved the adopting of preexisting musical materials, and then adjusting, evaluating and reapplying them as necessary, thus creating a synthesis. This synthesis integrates European and Oriental musical elements, which are evident on some of his very early works, and which eventually coalesced into his own unique musical language. Britten's interest in oriental music was stimulated when he met Colin Mcphee, a Canadian composer exploring Balinese Music. Their relationship led to the production of Balinese Cermonial Music, which includes five settings for two pianos. These experiences allowed Britten the opportunity to become familiar with Balinese music. The influences of Balinese music are seen in several of his works, including the opera Peter Grimes of 1945. In 1955, Britten traveled to the Far East, and after the trip, his works show how he incorporated these oriental elements, mainly Balinese and Japanese, into his musical style. The influence of Balinese music is clearly seen in Songs from the Chinese. The composition consists of six settings of Arthur Waley's translation form original Chinese poems. The dissertation consists of four chapters. The first briefly outlines Britten's career and examines his contacts with oriental music. The second provides a discussion of Chinese poetry. The third pursues in some detail certain aspect of Baliness music and its influence on Britten. Finally, the fourth chapter provides analytical and interpretive discussion of the texts and music of the six songs of Songs from the Chinese.
