Constructing the Lingnan Local Music for Piano Guidebook for Teaching at Guangdong Second Normal University, China

บทคัดย่อ

         Lingnan music, as a kind of music with strong local characteristics, was born and grew in Lingnan, and mainly in the Pearl River Delta. In the past hundred years, it has flown across the Five Ridges and across the oceans, and has spread rapidly throughout the country and even overseas, conquering countless listeners. Lingnan music is neither as magnificent and majestic, passionate and vigorous as Western music, nor as deep and empty as the ancient music of the Central Plains of my country, full of a sense of historical desolation. In terms of the overall impression given by Lingnan music, there are three aspects that are very prominent: first, the sound color is crisp, bright and gorgeous; second, the melody style is colorful, jumping and lively; third, the music structure is mostly short and single pieces, and there are few large suites. These three characteristics determine that it is neither as magnificent and majestic, passionate and vigorous as Western music, and has an external transcendent philosophical reflection, nor as deep and empty as the ancient music of the Central Plains of my country, full of a sense of historical desolation; it does not have the elegance and solemnity of ancient temple music, nor the arrogance and profoundness of traditional scholars and officials who admire themselves. In general, Lingnan music is a kind of music that is highly worldly, popular, and open.
