  • 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.
