论抗战歌咏运动时期中国群众合唱的特点

A Study and Reflection on the Characteristics of Chinese Mass Chorus in Anti-Japanese Singing Movement

20世纪30、40年代的中国抗战救亡歌咏运动,是在抗战救亡运动的基础上产生、发展起来的,以集体齐唱为主要形式的歌咏运动,具有鲜明的时代性、民族性、斗争性。在战时特殊的社会背景下,表现出参与面广、影响范围大、持续时间短,具有明确的目的性和鲜明的抗战意识,在运行方式上表现出合唱艺术初期形态的典型特征,与艺术合唱之间因残酷战争现实的影响而明显疏离,以及在理论研究上注重艺术社会功能而弱化审美功能等特点。这些特点对战后中国合唱的发展既有积极影响,也有消极影响。

The anti -Japanese singing movement in the 1930s and 40s, mainly in the form of mass chorus, emerged and developed under the circumstances of the anti - Japanese War. Featured by national identity, spirit of struggle and epochal character, set in the special social background of war, the anti- Japanese singing movement turned out to be a large chorus movement with wide participation, short duration and far - reaching ilffluence, displaying clear purposiveness and strong anti - Japanese consciousness. The operation of this movement reflected the characteristics of mass chorus at an early stage. How- ever, due to the cruel reality of war, divergence and alienation existed between this movement and typical art ensemble. Also, the theoretical researches during this time emphasized more on social function of art while the aesthetic function of this move- ment was somewhat neglected. These characteristics of anti - Japanese singing movement produced both positive and negative influences on the development of post - war mass chorus in China.
