' One may distinguish himself in any trade' chorus suite based on Professor Yong-Gang Li’s Chinese music creating theoriers, However is the theory practical motive? How is and the rational feasibility of its theory? However, I want to discuss that the motivation behind his creaton and if the theory is practical in the paper.
The western music has been poured into China in a large amount since Qing Dynasty. The theory of the American-European music, works have been injecting new blood into Chinese music constantly, with the rapid westernized speed since the May Fourth Movement. A lot of musicians are cultivated , however, despite of at the same time all the growth in music paying and composing a or the research on musicology, the research on the theory of the music is not much, with the occidentalizing impact of the trend, the Chinese composers use the theory of the western music, in the skill (technology) their skill is out of question but not get deeply to the meaning and expression. After all, chinese music is different from the western one. Under the chinese composers begin to consider what is chinese music, and how to create it? These questions have been stored in Chinese musicians’ minds all the time. It is not until after WWII that relevant theories and research are fully–develop! However, because there were too few music theoreticians in China at that time to produce the intact theory of creating.
Influenced by the Chinese style music, more and more musicians begin to probe into and study the theory about Chinese style music, famous composers such as, You-Di Huang, Shin-Hai Shian, Wen-Zhong Zhou, Chang-Hui Xu, Yi Chen, Tan Dun, Ho-long Ma, Hwaung-long Pan, etc. created Chinese style melodies.
Professor Yong-Gang Li is composer of this period, He grew up in war-time and promoted anti-communism in his middle age, It is in his old age he creates his personal style professor Yong-Gang Li is theories well-known and seen as a music educationist, but his creative music is less mentioned; But I see a lot of theories combining with ctreative work in his music such as ' Chang jiang River ' and large-scale chorus works as ' One may distinguish himself in any trade' particularly with ' One may distinguish himself in any trade' is professor’s account in one’s own experimental based on modern Chinise music theory, witch is the focal point that this text intend to probe into.
