The Pluralism Of Chinese Military Vocal Music Art Since 1979

Breaking through the old development mode featuring "bel canto" and "folk singing", the Chinese military vocal music art has developed into a new mode featuring the coexistence, interaction and combination of "bel canto", "folk singing" and "pop singing", presenting unprecedented pluralism. It is this pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art that leads to the trend that new singers constantly emerge and surpass their formers, and styles become various, presenting unprecedented charm of art. The pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art came into being step by step. It originated in the period of 1979～1985, then formed in the period of 1986～1993, and developed in the period of 1994～2006.As a representation of the pluralism of Chinese military culture, the pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art has its historic inevitability. Since 1979, China has entered a new period of reform and opening-up to the outside world, and Chinese culture and art have developed into a new historic stage. As a result, the music culture has also entered into a development stage of pluralism. In the field of vocal music, "bel canto", "folk singing" and "pop singing" are existing and competing with each other, which is obviously the important context for the pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art. These three factors have influence on the development of Chinese military vocal music art. Firstly, the change and the updating of music aesthetic consciousness in the new period have brought pluralism into Chinese music field, and further into the field of Chinese military vocal music art. Then the growing up of pop music in Chinese mainland in the new period has also speeded up the formation of the pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art. Finally, the pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art is also the inevitable result of military culture mechanism transition in the new period. At present and in the future, the pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art can realize its functions of meeting the need to carry out the P.L.A political ideological work, of strengthening the Army's battle effectiveness, and of "serving for soldiers". The pluralism of Chinese military vocal music art is also helpful to the military cultural construction and to the development of military music.
