The Symbiosis and Mutual Interpretation of Music and Literature in Interdisciplinary Perspective

An example of deep integration teaching of high school music appreciation of "East of the Yangtze River"

Abstract

Under the background of core literacy oriented high school curriculum reform, this paper takes the art song "Eastward Journey of the Great River", which was created by Qing master based on Su Shi's "Niannujiao・Chibi Huaigu", as the research object, and constructs a theoretical framework for the interdisciplinary integration of music and language. Through the three dimensions of comprehending music through literature, interpreting literature through music, and symbiosis of art and literature, we analyse the correlation between the literary context of the poetic text and the acoustic structure of the musical composition. Combined with the teaching practice cases, we propose a three-step modelling teaching strategy of "mutual interpretation of text - general sense construction - migration and innovation", exploring the integration paths of the two in the levels of cultural identity, aesthetic experience, and thinking cultivation, and providing a reference paradigm for the interdisciplinary teaching of music appreciation and literature in high school. It provides a paradigm for the interdisciplinary teaching of music appreciation and literature in high school.
