The Explanation Of "Multiple Structures" On Chen Yi's Symphonic Music

The theme of this essay is to use the theoretical principle of "Multiple Structures" to analyze the Chinese woman composer Chen Yi's representative symphonic works. It is in the area of music analysis, which belongs to the filed of music theory in composition technique.This research is initiated by Professor Jia Daqun's theory of "Structure Analyze" and the accomplishment of "Multiple Structures", "Structure Contraposition" and etc. It makes a thorough explanation to Chen Yi's symphonic works, the particular analytic target, from a new angle. Meanwhile, it demonstrates further the logic kernel, academic connotation and universal value of "Multiple Structures", "Structure Contraposition" and etc. by substantive analytical research and theory's general application."Multiple Structures" theory combs music structures and internal relationship of the elements in every structure from the angle of "Composition Studies" by utilizing the structuralism theory, and discovers structure function's individual body construction in "Polyphony" of multi-voice, multi-line and etc. existing in music and the elements in every structure, which is recognized as the independent and interactive "Multiple Structures". And then, this essay probes into "Structure Contraposition"—"Multiple Structures" and its reciprocal relationship, and summarizes the analytic theory of "Structure Contraposition". Putting forward the theory of "Multiple Structures" and "Structure Contraposition" expands the new mode of thinking and analyzing route to dissect the structural characteristics of the music making since the 20 century.This essay analyzes "Multiple Structures" in Chen Yi's symphonic works by the technical analysis and shows the esthetic connotation—constructing foundation of formalized program in music structures and corresponding cultures.Research on Chen Yi's symphonic works involves micro and macro, making technique and music conception, use of "dominant" "recessive" and "imageable" ethical elements and composition technique in organic integration of music, and etc. More emphasis is laid on comprehensive study to constructing technique and outcome of the "Multiple Structures and its thinking"-- music—carrier of culture. Meanwhile, the essay systematically researches and summarizes the "Treble Composition", "Rhythm Composition", "Orchestration Patterns" and etc. with "Multiple Structures" characteristic in Chen Yi's works, and then discusses and evaluates the influence, meaning and value of "Multiple Structures" to the music production in the 21st century. This research intends to achieve the transformation of "Multiple Structures and its thinking" from "abstract conception" to "concrete form" through the detailed observation of the analytical target and deep dissection of composition technique, and then raises the discussion to the level of philosophy and aesthetics to show composer's integrated intelligent thinking—structure conception, and internal structure logic in music compound multiple structures—result principle. Furthermore, the essay discusses the exsiting way of "multiple structures", which is one of the elements in the music structure, by using theory of "multiple structures"and"structure contraposition". It also discusses Chen Yi and all contemporary composers' music making concept and historical thread in their individual style formation, and provides new clues and parameters for music making and theory constructing since 20 century. Therefore, this research has vital theoretical significance and practical value.
