Music as Cultural Identity: Examining Isang Yun’s Duo für Viola und Klavier (1976)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research considers matters of cultural identity in music. Several scholars, including Raymond Williams and Pierre Bourdieu, have noted that ‘culture’ is one of the most complicated words to define because it is intertwined with many other discourses. The research draws on Williams’s theory that aspects of culture, such as tradition and artistic works, are ‘a way of life’ in relation to what matters to us and characterize us as part of society as a whole, reflecting society’s activities, politics, and circumstantial elements. Korean-German composer Isang Yun whose work combined Eastern and Western elements viewed culture in accordance with human dimensions of values, activities, and implications in people’s historical and social lives. This study examines Yun’s Duo für Viola und Klavier (1976), addressing three issues: it explores the theoretical discussion of the concept of culture, addresses music as cultural identity in terms of people and place, and explains how music embodies one’s cultural identity(or identities).
