In China, the millennia-old concept of the traditional Chinese wenren (philosopher-artist) has in the past century been replaced by the new image of a 'composer' who functions professionally on an international stage. Today, having followed Western composers for more than half a century, it is time for Chinese composers to think of the revival of the wenren spirit. Beginning in the 1940s, and continuing to the present, four waves of Asian composers have come to the West to study contemporary music—and even those who remained in Asia have felt the pressure to conform to Western aesthetics. In today's commercially oriented 'world music' environment, there is an urgent need for Chinese composers to acquire an intimate knowledge of their own cultural heritage in order to contribute meaningfully and on equal terms with the West towards a true confluence of musical cultures. |
