| Heterophony is a kind of polyphonic music texture form that exists throughout the world but is mainly embodied in Asian music.It has a long history in Asian music culture and has different styles in various types of ethnic music in multiple countries.It is one of the representatives of Asian polyphonic music forms,with a strong Asian flavor.At a time when the traditional principles of composition in the West are gradually being broken,Western composers have conducted various experimental explorations,and a group of Asian composers represented by the four composers selected in this article: Yin Yisang,Qin Wenchen,Akira Nishimura,and Toshio Hosokawa,have chosen the timbre as a carrier of their innovation in the fertile soil of their own musical culture.Heterophony,with its unique Asian style,embodies a sound effect different from traditional tonal harmony and polyphonic counterpoint,and embodies oriental values and worldviews in music,demonstrating oriental aesthetics to the world.Starting from the vocal music itself,this study began with a study of the works of four composers,examining musical phenomena from a perspective that transcends music,and ultimately returning to music,drawing enlightening insights into the development of music. |
