How Does A Piece Of Music Embody The Sound Of A Different Culture?The Traditional Musics Of China, Japan And Korea Have Been An Important Source Of Inspiration For Many Western Composers. Some, Like Chou Wenchung And John Cage, Have Moved Beyond Superficial Borrowing Of Eastern Musical Elements In Earnest Attempts To Understand Nonwestern Principles Of Composition. At The Same Time, Many Asian Composers, Often Trained In The West Or In Western Music Traditions, Have Been Using Asian Elements To Create Works Of Unique Musical Synthesis. As A Result Of Such Cultural Interpenetrations, The Landscape Of Western Art Music Has Been Irreversably Altered.Locating East Asia In Western Art Music Is A Comparative Study Of Asianinfluenced Western Composers And Westerninfluenced Asian Composers, And The First Sustained Exploration Of This Cross Cultural Exchange. Bringing Together Work By Music Theorists, Musicologists And Ethnomusicologists, This Book Explores How Musical Notions Of East And West Are Constructed And Utilized By Composers, And Reevaluates The Many Ways East Asian Composers Have Contributed To Developments In Twentieth Century Music. Composers Discussed Include John Cage, Toru Takemitsu, Chou Wenchung, Toshiro Mayuzumi, Isang Yun, Tan Dun, John Zorn, And Henry Cowell.Contributors: Hugh De Ferranti, Yayoi U. Everett, Judith Herd, Ellie Hisama, Eric Lai, Frederic Lau, Fredric Lieberman, Steven Nuss, Nancy Rao, And Yu Siuwah.
