Research On Pitch Organization Techniques In Three Contemporary Chinese Works

Zhong Xinming expanded the traditional pentatonic mode to form a chromatic pentatonic mode.Zhu Jianer recombines the three scales of Yanle,Yalle and Qingle to form a pentatonic nine-tone scale.Jin Xiang combined the universal pure fifth harmonic sound at home and abroad to form a fifth cycle.Moreover,the three composers all use national style elements to shape the theme style of the works.Zhong Xinming’s "Past Events" embodies the Tujia style with the melodic calling mountain tone,the semi-chromatic juxtaposition of mode,and the major and minor thirds of harmony.Zhu Jianer’s "Little Symphony" takes the comprehensive nine-tone scale as the historical development of elegant music,Qing music and Yan music,and uses the law of language to form the signature motive of tonal,and the thimble pattern of reference literary rhetoric,which reflects the Han style.In Jin Xiang’s Snow Lotus,Muqam genre is used as the presentation mode,Muqam interval features are presented by the combination of sound groups,the modality scale of Xinjiang Uygur music is presented by the initial sound group,and the differential sound of Xinjiang Uygur is presented by texture techniques.They eventually formed pentatonic Chinese mode and stylized Chinese sound group.The three composers all use conversion,synthesis,mold progression and supplement techniques in the horizontal organization of pitch;Zhu Jianer and Zhong Xinming all use polytonality in the vertical organization;Zhong Xinming and Jin Xiang all use the harmonic sound of third degree superposition chord in the vertical organization.And they use personalization.These pitch techniques organize diverse musical elements in an orderly way,reflecting the unity of diversity.
