| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 音樂學系碩士在職專班 === 99 === In Taiwan, many academic composers choose "Taiwan" or "Formosa" as the titles of their works, such as Chiang Wen-Yeh’s Taiwan Dance(1934), Chen Szu-Chih’s Sketch of Taiwan(1939), Chin Hsi-Wen’s Cherishes the Memory of the Tune in Taiwan(1996) and The Four Seasons in Taiwan(2000), Kuo Chih-Yuan’s Taiwan Ancient Music Fantasia(1954) and Taiwan Hymn(1998). These composers show their unique emotions in these Taiwan musical pieces.
Historical experiences have been passed down for years. Some people write poetry, yet the others write history to express their life experiences. Kuo Chih-Yuan, one of the representatives of the older generation in Taiwan. He records the past and present of Taiwan in his music which shows he’s such a humble, persistent person, and who has nostalgia and gratitude for his ancestors. We can feel his tolerance and compatibility in his works. This thesis aims to discuss the traditional musical elements in his Taiwan(Formosa) orchestral music and to realize his background of creation. Also the Nationalism of Kuo Chih-Yuan in his Taiwan(Formosa) orchestral music would be revealed though the three words：Symphony in A From Tang Sang to Taiwan(1986), The Overture of Taiwan Auspicious Festival(1999), Taiwan Hymn(2005).
