Abstract
The purpose of this research is to pragmatically clarify the development process of the image in constructive music expression from the viewpoint of the articulation. This research consists of the following two sections. 1. To define image articulation, organizing the concept of "Articulation." 2. To analyze the development process of the image in constructive music expression from the viewpoint of articulation, practicing experimental music class to study the variation of the motive. The analysis has brought the following results. (1) I defined the "image articulation" as "identifying the various aspects of image in the overall relations and describing characteristics that make certain image suitable for each one." Moreover, the action of image articulation has two aspects, "identify" and "organize." (2) From the viewpoint of image articulation, I clarified that the development process of the image in terms of constructive music expression has the following four processes. (i) The various aspects of image are identified because the quality in daily lives is recognized. (ii) As a result, the performance will change by operating the music constructive elements that have something in common with the quality recognition. (iii) The aspects which are identified from the image will be organized by arranging music form. (iv) Furthermore, the changes of performance will evoke other new life experiences and create another image articulation again. I would like to study the image articulation in expression of performances. I also would like to study the application of image articulation in other subjects.
