Have you heard about Pasibutbut? It is the ancient Bunun tribe tradition of
polyphonic choral singing. They sing pasibutbut with their unique eight-part
harmony, and pray for a plentiful harvest of millet. Pasibutbut has also been
called the “sound of nature.” There are no words to this song, but rather
eight man form a tight circle, each one adding a sound based on nature such
as the buzzing of insects or the sound of leaves blowing in the wind to
create a unique harmony. This tradition is one of the oldest and most primal
kinds of musical expression still existing on Earth. Dr. Rung-Shun Wu is a
professor of the Department of Traditional Music at Taipei National
University of Arts, an ethnomusicologist who studied Ethnic Music at Paris X
University – Nanterre. Professor Wu will give a free English speech on “The
Bunun's eight-part polyphony－Pasibutbut.” Please join us on Monday,
December 5, 2011 19:00~21:00pm at 3F Conference Room, Life Science Building,
National Taiwan University.
您聽過Pasibutbut 「祈禱小米豐收歌」抑或是「初種小米之歌」嗎？上述正是臺灣布農
族響徹國際的「八部合音」。
臺灣布農族主要居住在海拔1500公尺以上的高山上，人口現約4萬人，所有歌曲幾乎圍繞
著打獵、祈求與生活。布農族沒有情歌、沒有舞蹈、沒有獨唱歌曲、沒有齊唱歌曲，但是
有歌必合。在音樂洪流中，布農族多聲部的八部合音，成為目前世界上獨一無二的和音方
式，如何能夠傳唱至今，成為世界音樂、台灣民族音樂的瑰寶呢？期待您一起共享此音樂
盛宴。免費入場，現場備有精緻茶點，歡迎踴躍參加！
