This study aims to examine how two representative composers of early twentieth‑century Chinese art song—Ching‑chu (1893–1959) and Ellinor Valesby (1894–1969)—musically reinterpret the same body of poetic texts. As husband and wife as well as artistic collaborators, the two composers worked within the same cultural environment and jointly published the song collection Yinjing (音境, 1931), which is based on classical Chinese poetry. Focusing on this collection, the present study investigates their contrasting musical approaches and methods of text setting.
The primary sources for this research include the musical scores contained in Yinjing –– 华丽丝·青主创作乐歌第一集 (1931) and the original Chinese poems. Through combined textual and musical analysis, the study examines melodic construction, rhythm, harmony, modality, and the role of piano accompaniment. The analytical corpus consists of six songs: Ching‑chu’s “Hongmanzhi (红满枝),” “Siyueshiqi (四月十七),” and “I Live Upstream of the Yangtze River (我住长江头),” and Valesby’s “The Knife of Bingzhou Is Sharp as Water (并刀如水),” “Joy Comes Only Tonight (喜只喜的今宵夜),” and “Farewell at the Yi River (易水的送别).”
The analysis reveals that Ching‑chu grounds his musical language in the tonal contours of the Chinese language and the semantic structure of the poetic text. His songs employ pentatonic sonorities, narrow melodic ranges, step wise motion, and restrained rhythmic patterns, resulting in a modality‑based musical setting that directly reflects textual meaning. In contrast, Valesby—who did not speak Chinese—constructs her musical settings around the sonic impression and emotional atmosphere conveyed through recitation rather than linguistic meaning. Her works feature wide intervals, chromaticism, harmonic tension, and independent piano writing, creating a more expansive and narrative musical language. Notably, her songs display coloristic harmonies that blend modality and tonality, parallel motion, dense chordal textures, and structurally significant postludes.
Although the two composers share the same poetic sources, their approaches to text setting diverge markedly, demonstrating that Yinjing is not a unified stylistic collection but a compilation of diverse musical interpretations. This study clarifies the multilayered relationship between text and music in the formative period of Chinese art song and illuminates how classical Chinese poetry and Western compositional techniques converged to shape a new vocal genre. Furthermore, it is hoped that this research will encourage more performances of Western art songs based on Chinese poetry and inspire continued creative work that bridges Chinese literature and Western musical idioms.
