Abstract
The purpose of this study is to show composer Chen Yi (b.1953)’s musical synthesis of East
and West. Examples and analysis are made from the following selected pieces: Fiddle Suite, The
Points, Ancient Dances, Ning, Song in Winter, Chinese Fables and Ancient Beauty, which all
contain Chinese instruments. Technical issues of combining Chinese and Western instruments are
discussed, as well as Chinese philosophy and the arts that inspire the pieces. In addition, examples
are made to show the influences of Chinese traditional music in Chen’s music, as well as the
absorption of Western twentieth century compositional techniques as more systematic methods to
support her compositions.
