CATS Chinese Music Collections PODCAST SERIES

The Library of
the Centre for Asian and Transcultural Studies at Heidelberg University
holds an extensive collection of musical treasures—recordings, scores,
ephemera, and secondary literature on Chinese music. The CATS library
brings together the CHIME Collection for Chinese Music Research—a large
collection comprising everything from ethnographic to contemporary
musical records—field video recording, scores, books, and more, the C.C.
Liu Collection of Modern and Contemporary Chinese Music—an extensive
collection of scores of contemporary musics from Hong Kong, Taiwan and
the People’s Republic of China; the Liu Yuan Collection of Chinese
Music—a collection of more than 2000 records reflecting the variety of
musics available in mainland China throughout the 1950s and into the
1990s and finally the Steen Collection of PRC Rock and Pop music since
the 1980s—and more: the music collections are growing by the day. This
PODCAST is set out to introduce you to some of the jewels of these music collections and enjoy the intricacies and beauties of musicking in
China …. We begin with a series of 5 podcasts accompanying this year’s
CHIME conference in Heidelberg, from October 1-4, entitled Barbarian
Pipes and Strings Reconsidered: Negotiating Authenticity in the Musics
of China: Transcultural Perspectives.
