SUMMARY:ACM Lunchtime Concert: Musical Exploration of the Tang Shipwreck
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAMME \nWARES and WAVES\nI. Where did the wares in ocean journey go\nII. and cobalt\, glazed\, from kiln to ship\, below?\nIII. In billows jade the colour bright of moss\nIV. in waves they fade\, like dice they turn and toss.\nV. I saw at dusk a fisherman’s torch glare:\nVI. on ewers\, pitchers\, shells\, on earthenware;\nVII. in splendour whisking rudder on the wave\nVIII. for cultures from the past the sea is grave.\nABOUT THIS EVENT \nWARES and WAVES is a collaborative project created by the conservatory’s Text and Music class in response to the Tang Shipwreck collection housed at the Asian Civilisations Museum. Curated by Dr. Chen Zhangyi and Dr. Sara Florian\, the project features musical Waves corresponding to the lines of Florian’s new poem ‘Wares’\, inspired by the Chinese poetry of the Tang period and the Tang Shipwreck. Discovered in 1998 off the coast of Belitung Island\, the shipwreck uncovers the interactions of past cultures between Asia and the Middle-east\, serving as a fascinating resource for musical creation.\n \nThe vast amount of cargo carried on the Arab dhow presents a beautiful array of colours\, representative of the aesthetics and demand during 9th century trade along the maritime Silk Road. Distinct colours such as the cobalt blue on white stoneware dishes\, the jade-green ceramics of Yue and Gongxian kilns\, the snow-white ceramics of Xing kilns\, and the Changsha bowls artwork and poetic inscriptions are transformed into visual cues for the music. Out of the metal wares\, inspirations are drawn from a bronze lobed mirror with a scholar playing zither\, an exquisite golden octagonal cup with musicians and a dancer\, and a cracked cymbal. The bone dice\, acorn-shaped game pieces\, coins\, and inkstone gives us some inkling of activities that kept the crew occupied on board – giving further prompts for musical and poetic responses.\n \nThe musical performance of Wares and Waves will be accompanied by video clips made by the musicians. Recitations of the newly created poetry and poetry found on the artefacts will stitch together the past and the present\, as well as the musical segments\, mirroring the unique sewn construction of the ship.  \n \nThis season\, ACM’s Lunchtime Concerts will come to you virtually. Enjoy a livestream of enchanting and thought-provoking music brought to you by the students and faculty from Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music.
