MUSIC NOTES from TAIWAN
Saturday, 1 March, 2014
The Taiwanese language is generally considered to be a dialect derived from several of the southern dialects of Fujian Province in Mainland China. The common pronunciation of the dialect includes eight different intonations, while the language itself rejoices in abundant words, slang and diverse intonation changes that not only form but also direct the nature of the tune in Taiwanese songs. Therefore, the language is one of the main parts of Taiwanese songs and the core base in the art of singing and performing them. The style of music back in the era around the second world war was more sentimental, elegant, and reserved in reflection of the more conserved society.
