编写诗乐大音乐史的理想与实际困难:我的个人体会

The Ideals and Practical Challenges of Writing a Global History of Chinese Shiyue:My Personal Experience

该文是作者基于在《牛津手册:中国与海外华人音乐》中发表的“中国人为什么、又如何唱《诗经》歌曲?”(Why and How Do Chinese Sing Shijing Songs?),以及正在写作的《孔子之歌:中国诗乐的大历史描述》(Confucius's Songs:A Global History of Chinese Shiyue)一书有关编写诗乐大音乐史的理论建构和相关思考。作者突破了对传统诗乐历史认知的框架,以“大历史”的理念观照诗乐和格里高利圣咏历史发展的异同,为当今理解诗乐提供了新路径。

The author transcends the traditional framework of understanding the history of Chinese Shiyue,employing the concept of"global history"to compare and contrast the historical development of Chinese Shiyue with Gregorian Chant.
