Abstract/Summary:
The article tries to discuss perception of music in aesthetic and psychological mechanism of creation in polyphony: how polyphony was to be conceived, as well as teaching it in music education. It could help developing and improving music literacy of our citizens, and teaching amateurs and professions with different and suitable ways in music education.Triad is fundamental unit in West traditional harmony music. It is so harmonious for audition because of it' s timbre . Because of acoustic physics it can make consonance or not when we are hearing triad. In the system of symbols, it could not demonstrate color and tendency. Each parts of polyphone should compose and flow which make stability and tendency of center tone. So it is no meaning of aesthetics for just researching the singled acoustics triad, for it does not make a sense of beauty and harmony.Polyphony music which is discussed here means several tones as a basic unit move simultaneously in an organized manner. It includes tension of vertical set, color of composed and alternate of tonality, contrast of rhythm in horizontally. So the research of polyphony music involved some related subjects such as harmony,polyphony,orchestration and construction of form and how to combined them in logical and conception.The thought of polyphony music, the discussion of the article is more focusing on the process treating with music imagic and logical thought, The thought of polyphony music, in this context, includes ability of reception (audition)and composed (doing acoustics into music symbols) polyphony music. This process is very complicated which involves mechanism of physics, physiology and psychology. The ability of thought has different functions in different links of music aesthetics.For listeners, it is a kind of psychological process ,the ear of human receives the acoustics andtakes the information to aesthetic experience, it can divide into three levels . "perception","comprehend" and "thought" ,according listener' s different experiences; For composers, it isa process, which is symbolized feelings and things of themselves. In fact, the inner feeling of composers organized the music imagic logic by symbols and sequences. It is kinds of ability, it includes the skill of composers to use music image, skilled, recreated using sequence of symbol. For good critics, they should have excellent ability of appreciating polyphony music as well as deeper and multi-dimension understanding of music meanings.Not only the process of audition but also compose include psychology process such as analysis,synthesis,judgment and deduction. It is an import and export information process, which intersect thought of logical and imagic frequently.
