Phases of Interrelative "Correspondence" in Music

Abstract

This paper examines some of the phases of interrelative "correspondence"in music, in order to investigate music as an existential phenomenon, from the viewpoint that music suggests the "present"position of human beings. This theme involves two aspects: 1.musics of differing natives in temporal and spatial terms encounter and interact with each other;and 2.the composer-composition-performer(=interpreter)-audience relationship generates itself kinetically.It is important to note that these two aspscts can be observed simultaneously in every performance or interpretation.For this reason, the concept of "interface"within phases of "correspondence"may be of some relevance in understanding this phenomenon.Suggestive examples can be seen in discussion of the vocal works of SHIBATA Minao, one Japan's leading contemporary composer.
