It may seem strange that we ’re discussing music from a Broadway production in this class, "The Lion King" especially, since it’ s based on a popular Hollywood movie. I mean music performed 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. But in fact, musicians have a long-standing tradition of borrowing from one another cultures. And this production’ s director intentionally included both western and non-western music. That way, some of the rhythms, instruments, 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. So I wanted 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 we’ve been studying. Now the African influence on the music is clear. The story takes place in Africa. So the director got a South African composer to write songs with a distinctly African sound. And the songs even include words from African languages. But we’ 11 get back to the African influence later. First let’ s 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. Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 18.
16. What is the talk mainly about?
17. Why were African words included in some songs for the Broadway version of "The Lion King"?
18. What will the professor probably talk about next?
选项
A、The influence of European popular music on non-Western music.
B、The musical background of the director of the Broadway version of The Lion King.
C、The types of music used in the Broadway version of The Lion King.
D、Differences between the music of the film version and the Broadway version of The Lion King.
答案
C
解析
主旨题。根据So I wanted 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 we’ve been studying.可知,教授想通过《狮子王》中的音乐来总结西方音乐和非西方音乐的不同点。结合选项,因此,正确答案为C。
