Abstract

This essay explores the intercultural aspects of Korean American composer Hyo-shin Na’s Cloud Study for Violin and Piano. Chapter 1 addresses diversity in culture and how Western music has influenced East Asian musicians. Chapter 2 focuses on Hyo-shin Na and her cultural characteristics with the introduction of her Cloud Study series. In light of other composers familiar with the intermingling of cultures, this chapter also briefly addresses such composers as Chou Wen-Chung, Toru Takemitsu, Hye-gu Lee, and Alan C. Hayman. Chapter 3 offers a study of the instrumentation in Cloud Study, considering the basic introduction of the traditional East Asian instruments from Cloud Study I and their construction and background. Chapter 4 offers a performance analysis of Cloud Study III, comparing the instrumentation and performance techniques used in the music with those in Cloud Study I.
