1164 Words5 Pages

Yang Zongji in the modern era asserted that Guangling San is actually "The Melody of Nie Zheng Assassinating the Han King" (see fn.1, #10), whereas Dai Mingyang recognizes it as Nie Zheng killing the minister of Han.

What is said in Qin Cao surely has sections which do not inspire belief, as when it says that the piece about Nie Zheng killing the Han king was written by Nie Zheng himself; that "when Nie Zheng played the qin in the palace, horses and cows stopped to listen;" and so forth.

The Guangling San in Shen Qi Mi Pu is a traditional tablature dating from the Northern Song or earlier; Xilutang Qintong Tablature B approaches being a Southern Song or early Yuan volume, and Xilutang Qintong Tablature A is a Ming dynasty version by someone who made a relatively large number of adjustments and revisions.

If we take the Song dynasty tablatures Gu Yuan by Jiang Kui as well as Kaizhi Huang Ying Yin and the five modal preludes from Shilin Guangji [these being the only other examples of simplified qin tablature prior to Shen Qi Mi Pu], and compare these to the Shen Qi Mi Pu tablature, we unfortunately find that Gu Yuan and Huang Ying Yin are small songs containing lyrics, and that there is no way to compare their melodies and right hand finger techniques, [and] each of the pieces of the five modal preludes we suspect of being overly

Khan by Julie Giroux was inspired by and named for the warlord, Genghis Khan, who built his empire through conquering many territories. Giroux’s fast-paced song contrasts to Steven Bryant’s piece that is meant to portray the “calm of dusk”. These two compositions paint very unique images in the listeners minds with the different styles and tempos. In addition to what the music does to the audience, it also challenges the ensemble in terms of technique, balance, and musicality. One of the biggest differences between these pieces is what the composer wants the audience to think of when listening to their song.

Through the media, Injun Joe was portrayed as a barbaric savage. Being a fugitive, having only a sixth or seventh grade education, and not even being able to write or read made it easy to conclude that he was an uncivilized “other” that was not a member of our society. A society that requires civil behavior and literate skills in order to function properly. In this society that we live in today it is common to believe that one who cannot read or write has no literacy at all, but I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand, I agree that Injun Joe not being able to read or write makes him illiterate in our society, however, I still believe that there are other kinds of literacies on a broader spectrum that Joe might possess.
