Extractions: Composer Tan Dun to employ "organic music" in his Olympic "rock-and-roll" www.chinaview.cn Print Special report: 2008 Olympic Games SHANGHAI, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) Oscar-winning Chinese musician Tan Dun said at an ongoing arts festival that he is going to employ "organic music" - produced by basic natural elements such as water and paper - in his rock-and-roll production for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Musicians perform a water concerto at the ongoing Shanghai International Arts Festival, on Friday, Oct. 19, 2007. (Photo: ic.eastday.com) The music, which is still in the middle of production, will make use of sounds in the movements of Chinese athletes, such as "sounds of water splashes by diver Guo Jingjing, ball hits by basketball player Yao Ming and race-starting of hurdler Liu Xiang", Tan said at the 9th China Shanghai International Arts Festival that opened last Thursday. Tan, winner of the Grammy and Oscar awards for his soundtracks of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", had participated in music production for Beijing's 2008 Olympic Bid Film. The native of central China's Hunan Province is one of the musical planners for the opening ceremony, award granting ceremonies and a theme song for the Beijing Olympics. "I am just one of the Olympic Volunteers who take part in the Olympic music planning," said Tan.

Main Posted by on October 27, 2007 at 08:15 PM I kind of forgot this is Halloween weekend. It's an annual absent mindedness. I don't view it as any great weakness though, and haven't since it began at around the age of 15. The only thing I honestly miss about Halloween are those little molasses kisses in orange wrappers, which have become increasingly difficult to find. (And if you do find them they are usually so wizened and desiccated you just know your dentist is already shaking his head in despair.) But the musical reminder provided by The Signal tonight is another matter in honour of the day they're broadcasting Ghost Opera , by composer Tan Dun â featuring the Kronos Quartet. It's a five-movement work for string quartet, pipa, water, metal, stones, and paper. Apparently inspired by memories of shamanistic "ghost operas" of Chinese peasant culture a tradition that's about 4,000 years old it explores the idea of humans and spirits of the future and the past communing.

Ionarts: Tan Dun In Baltimore This week, joining the parade of guest conductors filling in for Alsop was ChineseAmerican composer tan dun. We have reviewed two of his operas, http://ionarts.blogspot.com/2007/10/tan-dun-in-baltimore.html
Extractions: Tan Dun, photo by Parnassus Productions, Inc. (courtesy of tandunonline.com) For all of the breathless excitement, including our own, over Marin Alsop 's appointment as music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, she will actually conduct only three concerts in Charm City this fall (beginning on September 28, October 25, and November 29). This week, joining the parade of guest conductors filling in for Alsop was Chinese-American composer Tan Dun . We have reviewed two of his operas, Tea and The First Emperor , but this was the first time we have reviewed the cello concerto titled The Map , premiered by Yo-Yo Ma and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 2004. Tan has described the piece as an exploration of his return to his natal province of Hunan, where he spent time trying to document disappearing musical traditions. Building on the theme of folk music's intertwined history with the classical orchestra, Tan programmed a first half of Russian pieces based on or at least reminiscent of Asian melodies. The relatively late Overture on Russian and Kirghiz Folk Themes , op. 115, was conceived during Dmitri Shostakovich's visit to Kirghizstan, when he promised to write a piece based on the local folk music. The overture was premiered in Frunze, the capital of Kirghizstan, in 1963, and it is definitely a second-tier piece in the Shostakovich works list, less dissonant and plainer in orchestration than his most interesting work. However, it gained in interest considerably as part of this program, as an example of the overlap between Chinese and Russian music. The BSO sounded confident, although Tan's conducting seemed to be at odds with the direction of the musicians at times.

Extractions: T an Dun is without doubt the best known Chinese composer in the West. His popularity seems to owe as much to his participation in political and media-based projects as to his talent, the best example being his Symphony 1997, written for the handing over of Hong Kong to China in 1997. Tan Dun's works from the 1980s have fused with the spirit of a counter-culture like those of Toru Takemitsu or John Cage, which question the dominance of Western music. In the 1980s, Tan Dun's composing changed considerably and his style was to have a great influence on other Chinese composers. Tan Dun would allude to all sorts of other works, even falsifying some of them. The most important change in his writing was that he brought together, in a single work, stylistic and cultural elements from highly diverse sources. In many of his subsequent compositions, he developed a more stripped-down style, less complex, simpler. His opera Marco Polo , written between 1991 and 1995 and given its world premiere in 1996, is a very good example of a composing style that resembles a sound mosaic more than anything else. He describes this work as "an opera within an opera." It incorporates musical themes borrowed from various cultures or other works, including Mahler's
