The study aims at analyzing conductors’ music interpretation skills. The author chooses three unique Chinese music compositions as the subjective, including one Zhonghu concerto Mongolian Hymn and two Chinese music ensembles Carrying goods up and down a mountain and Re Sol La Re. Involved in the use of twists and turns and the technique of glissando, these three pieces present totally different music style. The author therefore tries to gain deeper insight into the connotation behind these compositions through the analysis of the structure, musical form and interpretation, as well as the interview with composers. By this study, the author is looking forward to know more about the application of the conducting analysis and skill of Chinese music as well as the core idea that composers try to convey to the audience.
