The Acceptance And Changes Of Twelve-tone Music In Japa

Japan has been thinking about the coordination between western music culture and local music culture since the Meiji Restoration.After the Second World War,under the situation of Japan’s political,economic,cultural and social ruins,the post-war "academic" musicians represented by Yoshiro Irino,Minamio Shibata and Toda Takeo formally brought the 12-tone music,which symbolized the western avant-garde music culture,to the Japanese music circle.The reception and development of twelve-tone music in Japan reflects the self-reflection and self-cognition of the development of Japanese modern music.On the one hand,it benefits from the positive influence of the dissemination and development of western avant-garde music after the war,on the other hand,it also derives from the long-established Japanese traditional music culture and the embodiment of traditional aesthetic concepts.After the war,Japanese modern musicians and music groups,which are closely related to twelve-tone music,divided into three musical development directions: "academic school","national school" and "middle school".Their music research,music creation,music education,music communication and music activities reflect the multidimensional reception of twelve-tone music in different stages of development in postwar Japan.From macroscopic historical survey to microscopic analysis of music works,from diachronic musical form characteristics to synchronic musical cultural development,multi-angle excavation and exploration will help to think and understand the emergence and development of the historical phenomenon of 12-note music’s acceptance in Japan.For The Japanese music industry,twelve-tone music is not only the product of the western music trend of thought before and after world War II,but also the reflection of the Japanese music industry’s reflection on the value of western modern music,but also the opportunity for the Japanese music industry to re-recognize and understand the survival significance of traditional music culture.
