Abstract:
|
Performing schools (liupai) in jingju (also known as Peking
or Beijing opera) are one of the most important elements
for the appreciation of this genre among connoisseurs.
In the current paper, we study the potential of MIR
techniques for supporting and enhancing musicological
descriptions of the singing style of two of the most renowned
jingju schools for the dan role-type, namely Mei
and Cheng schools. To this aim, from the characteristics
commonly used for describing singing style in musicological
literature, we have selected those that can be studied
using standard audio features. We have selected eight
recordings from our jingju music research corpus and
have applied current algorithms for the measurement of
the selected features. Obtained results support the descriptions
from musicological sources in all cases but
one, and also add precision to them by providing specific
measurements. Besides, our methodology suggests some
characteristics not accounted for in our musicological
sources. Finally, we discuss the need for engaging jingju
experts in our future research and applying this approach
for musicological and educational purposes as a way of
better validating our methodology. |
