Abstract

Gaoqiang is the most representative tune among the arts of five tunes, namely kun, gao, hu, tan and deng in Sichuan Opera. It takes the form of "acapella", and features one singing with others taking up the refrain, accompanied by gong and drum without using any orchestral instruments. In the gaoqiang music of Sichuan Opera, there are a lot of simple and fresh imitative polyphonies with unique flavor. This paper, after analyzing and studying the gaoqiang music in traditional Sichuan Opera, sorts out and summarizes the phenomenon of imitative polyphony.
