“…The research findings provide valuable insights into the transmission process of Suzhou Pingtan Chinese Opera and its impact on education and literacy in Jiangsu, China. The study aligns with the theoretical principles of musicology and ethnomusicology, which emphasize the study of musical traditions within cultural and social contexts (Hargreaves, Miell, & MacDonald, 2012;Titon et al, 2016). By employing a combination of fieldwork, interviews, and questionnaires as research methods, the study ensures a comprehensive understanding of Suzhou Pingtan and its transmission process.…”

“…Ethnomusicology, on the other hand, focuses on the cultural and social aspects of music, studying the role of music within specific cultural contexts and communities. It emphasizes the examination of music as a cultural practice, considering its functions, meanings, and roles within society (Titon et al, 2016). By combining the methodologies and perspectives of musicology and ethnomusicology, this research aims to achieve a comprehensive understanding of Suzhou Pingtan and its transmission process in Jiangsu, China.…”

Suzhou Pingtan is a traditional Chinese opera originating from Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, known for its melodic tunes, storytelling, and expressive performances. The objective of this study was to explore the transmission process of Suzhou Pingtan Chinese Opera in Jiangsu, China, and its impact on education and literacy. This study utilizes a combination of fieldwork, interviews, and questionnaires as research tools were used to gather data from three key informants, two main informants, and three general informants. The data collected are analyzed through qualitative methods, including content analysis and thematic analysis. The research findings reveal ten main modes of transmission, including the inclusion of Suzhou Pingtan in the national intangible cultural heritage list, the establishment of inheritors, the Suzhou Pingtan Art Festival, the enhancement of performance level and frequency, the development of Suzhou Pingtan School, the establishment of Suzhou Pingtan Museum, the expansion of performance venues, the integration into primary and secondary schools and universities, international transmission, and strong government support. The study suggests the importance of continued support for educational initiatives, the preservation of performance venues, and the cultivation of young audiences to ensure the sustainability and wider appreciation of Suzhou Pingtan.

“…The simplest of these relationships-e.g., "octaves" (2:1) and "fifths" (3:2)-feature prominently in music worldwide 13,33,34 , and particular sets of ratios called scales (or modes) are strikingly popular across cultural boundaries 13,34,35 . For example, the Western "minor mode" corresponds to what South Indian musicians call the "Keeravani raga" 36 , and the Japanese "ritsu scale" is also found in traditional Western folk songs like "Auld Lang Syne" and "Amazing Grace" (Figure 2B) 37 . In melody, tones tend to be arranged in arched or descending contours 13,30 .…”

Efforts to integrate music into healthcare systems and wellness practices are accelerating but the biological foundations that support this endeavor are not widely understood. As a result, music-based treatments remain on the fringe of medicine. In this review, I integrate progress in music research from neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry to create a framework for translating between music’s specific foundations in human biology and its specific applications in mental health. This framework organizes the neurophysiological effects and clinical applications of music around four core elements of human musicality: tonality, rhythm, reward, and social connection. For each element, I review essential concepts, biological foundations, and evidence of clinical benefits. Working within this framework, I chart a path towards increasing the impact of music on health by quantifying individual differences in sensitivity to core elements of musicality and using them as a basis for increasing the precision with which musical treatments are applied. As such, I argue that biological insight into the origins, functions, and neural bases of music has an essential role to play in advancing the use music to improve human health and wellness.

“…The concept is vast and can cover several other correlated realities. Musical form refers to the structure of a musical composition or performance: "a number of organizational elements may determine the formal structure of a piece of music, such as the arrangement of musical units of rhythm, melody, and/or harmony that show repetition or variation, the arrangement of the instruments or the way a symphonic piece is orchestrated" (Titon, 2009); it is "the ways in which a composition is shaped to create a meaningful musical experience for the listener" (Kostka, 1995). "Form in music is the result of the interaction of…”

This paper continues the investigation into maestro AurelStroe's view on composition related to morphogenetic music described at a theoretical and musicological level: the paper tries to expose the main concepts of his creation, of his musical thinking (whose complexity remains unequalled in the 20th century in the Romanian musical creation). His concepts and vision stem from the direct contact with the most important currents of contemporary European thinking (that he lived with), Aurel Stroe's contribution to musicology includes a corpus of musicological concepts which require systematization and, thus, a deeper understanding.
