| Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 美學與藝術管理研究所 === 94 === The shift in performing arenas has a crucial influence on the performing contents of Taiwanese Opera. Since the 1970s when Taiwanese Opera focused its development on commercial TV programs, the contemporary viewers have associated them mostly with Taiwanese Opera, and the "TV tunes" composed specifically for "TV Taiwanese Opera" are exactly the most influential products of this stage. Currently, Taiwanese Opera’s singing arrangement is mainly made by adjoining tunes and melodies together, in which the "new tunes", especially "TV tunes" from this period of TV Taiwanese Opera, take more than half the proportion. For about a century, the performing styles, from the embryo "Luo-di-sau (form of playing directly on the open ground without erecting a platform or stage)" to the integrated tremendous complicated productions nowadays, have evolved many distinct facets. Among them surely are the reservation of traditional essences; however, the formation of TV Taiwanese Opera undoubtedly affects contemporary Taiwanese Opera the most.
This study explores how Taiwanese Opera makes use of TV tunes, ranging from their influence on the form of contemporary Taiwanese Opera music, their impacts on music-related performing patters, to directors'' directing manner and performers'' singing styles. Participants as a whole become the dominating factor in this music reformation. Tzeng Zhong-ying and Chen Tsong-ming are two prominent figures during Taiwanese Opera''s TV period; the former said that his experience and achievement of TV tunes were totally unintentional while the latter initiated the "kara" recording method for Taiwanese Opera. As Chen exerted Tzeng''s TV-tune works to the fullest, Tzeng made Chen’s ideas and imaginations come true. The inner thoughts of invention and the practical application are two main parts in which TV tunes affect contemporary Taiwanese Opera music. Apart from the influences and problems derived from the creation of TV tunes, this study also tries to take the inventing ideas of TV tunes as a basis to overthrow the stereotypes TV Taiwanese Opera has brought to the viewers, so as to offer experiences and ignite some thoughts for composing new tunes for contemporary Taiwanese Opera.
