Description

Explore the fundamental structures of traditional Chinese music with Qupai in Chinese Music: Melodic Models in Form and Practice. Part of the Routledge Studies in Ethnomusicology series, this volume provides deep research into qupai ( ), the melodic models that form the basis of most traditional Chinese instrumental and some vocal music. Readers will learn how the majority of traditional instrumental repertoire develops from these qupai models through established variation techniques. The book explains how these melodies and methods remain active in modern performances, including silk-bamboo ensemble music, zheng ( ), pipa ( ), and various solo traditions. This study covers a wide range of musical expressions, from all opera types and narrative songs to Buddhist and Daoist ritual music. It serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, and musicians looking to understand the structural foundations of Chinese musical practice.
