Index

한국, 중국, 일본은 모두 서양음악을 수용하였고, 동시에 각 나라의 역사적 문화적 특수성으로 인해 그 지역 고유의 개성적인 음악문화를 형성하고 있다. 이 책에서는 유사한 역사를 가진 동시대의 음악들이 각국의 음악적, 사회문화적, 민족적 고유성과 결합되어 어떤 음악세계를 형성했으며, 지금 어떻게 나타나고 있는지, 또한 어떠한 방향으로 나아갈 것인지를 살펴보았다. 이러한 논의를 통해서 황병기·진은숙·호소카와·탄둔 등 한국, 일본, 중국의 대표적인 최근 작곡가와 그들의 음악 경향을 살펴보고, 동아시아 전반의 현대음악 경향을 시대적·역사적 맥락에서 설명하고 있다.
