Traditional Chinese Music Consideration
|
Traditional Chinese Music
varies with time and region.Therefore, it is impossible to say what Chinese
Traditional is, in one word. However, Automated Composing System captures
its features as follows. First, Music scale is penta-tonic and "C",
"D", "E", "G", "A" are used.These notes are
played by flutes and strings. Automated Composing System uses "Fifth Saw
Wave" for strings and "Music Box" for Chinese Koto. "Fifth Saw Wave" includes
5th pitch a lot, and it makes more Chinese-like sound. "Koto" is used for
harmony section. Sequence of 8th notes also makes more Chinese-like sound.
There are a lot of Rhythm patterns in Traditional Chinese Music, but most
characteristic of rhythm section is Chinese Cymbal. So, Automated Composing
System put Chinese Cymbal at the begining of every measure. |
