1艺术类音乐It may seem strange that were discussing music from a Broadway production in this class, The Lion King especially, since its based on a popular Hollywood movie. (2)I mean music preformed for Broadway theater in the heart of New York city, surely would seem to be in the western tradition of popular music and not have much in common with the music we have been studying in this course, such as gamelan music of Indonesia, or Zulu chants of South Africa, music that developed outside the western tradition of Europe and America. (3)But in fact, musicians have a long-standing tradition of borrowing from one anothers cultures. (4)And this productions director intentionally included both western and non-western music. (5)That way, some of the rhythms, instrument, harmonies, typical of non-western music contrast with and complement popular music more familiar to audiences in North America and Europe, music like rock, jazz or Broadway style show tunes. (6)So I want to spend the rest of this class and most of the next one on the music from the show The Lion King as a way of summarizing some of the technical distinctions between typical western music and the non-western music that weve been studying. (7)Now the African influence on the music is clear. (8) The story takes place in Africa. (9)So the director got a South African composer to write songs with a distinctly African sound. (10) And the songs even include words from African languages. (11)But well get back to the African influence later. (12)First lets turn to the music that was written for the shadow puppet scenes in The Lion King, music based on the Indonesian music used in the shadow puppet theater of that region. (1)也许在我们这门课上讨论百老汇制作的音乐剧有点儿奇怪，特别是《狮子王》，因为它是根据一个受欢迎的好莱坞电影改编的。我的意思是，在纽约中心百老汇上演的音乐剧看上去一定是跟随西方音乐传统而我们所学的比如印尼的音乐，或南非族欧洲和美洲传统之外的音乐。但是，音乐家们有借鉴别种文化的传统。这部音乐剧的导演有意在剧中融合了西方音乐和非西方音乐。这样，一些非西方音乐的节拍、乐器、与欧美观众所熟知的音乐，如摇滚，爵士、百老汇音乐之间会的对比。所以我想用今天剩下的和下一节课的大部分时间来分析《狮子王》中的音乐，从而总结一下我们所学过的西方音乐和非西方音乐在技术上的不同。对这个音乐剧有很大的影响故事发生在非洲所以
