Four seasons: A study of Chen Yi's Si Ji

The purpose of this study is to draw attention to the hybrid of Eastern and Western musical elements, in Chen Yi’s orchestral work Si Ji. In this dissertation, Chen Yi’s Si Ji will be thoroughly discussed by a detailed analysis of the work as well as the background of Chen Yi’s musical world, and the poetry she is inspired by. It will show how the music produces a hybrid of East and West. I hope this dissertation will serve as a valuable source for other composers seeking their own musical colors, as well as researchers interested in the crossing of Eastern and Western music.
