Have you heard about Pasibutbut? It is the ancient Bunun tribe tradition of polyphonic choral singing. They sing pasibutbut with their unique eight-part harmony, and pray for a plentiful harvest of millet. Pasibutbut has also been called the "sound of nature." There are no words to this song, but rather eight man form a tight circle, each one adding a sound based on nature such as the buzzing of insects or the sound of leaves blowing in the wind to create a unique harmony. This tradition is one of the oldest and most primal kinds of musical expression still existing on Earth. Dr. Rung-Shun Wu is a professor of the Department of Traditional Music at Taipei National University of Arts, an ethnomusicologist who studied Ethnic Music at Paris X University - Nanterre. Professor Wu will give a free English speech on "The Bunun's eight-part polyphony－Pasibutbut." Please join us on Monday, December 5, 2011 19:00~21:00pm at 3F Conference Room, Life Science Building, National Taiwan University. 您听过Pasibutbut 「祈祷小米丰收歌」抑或是「初种小米之歌」吗？上述正是台湾布农族响彻国际的「八部合音」。 台湾布农族主要居住在海拔1500公尺以上的高山上，人口现约4万人，所有歌曲几乎围绕着打猎、祈求与生活。布农族没有情歌、没有舞蹈、没有独唱歌曲、没有齐唱歌曲，但是有歌必合。在音乐洪流中，布农族多声部的八部合音，成为目前世界上独一无二的和音方式，如何能够传唱至今，成为世界音乐、台湾民族音乐的瑰宝呢？期待您一起共享此音乐盛宴。免费入场，现场备有精致茶点，欢迎踊跃参加！ Free English Speech(免费英文讲座) ■Speaker(主讲人)：Rung-Shun Wu, Taipei National University of the Arts 国立台北艺术大学 吴荣顺教授 ■Date/Time(日期/时间)：2011/12/05 Mon. 19:00~21:00 P.M. ■Location(地点)：3F Conference Room, Life Science Building, National Taiwan University 国立台湾大学生命科学馆3楼演讲厅 ■Contact(联络方式)：02-33669863Ms. Kelly Chang(张立贤 小姐) [email protected] ■Organizer (主办单位) ： General Education TW (GET)　 教育部台湾通识网http://get.nccu.edu.tw:8080/getcdb/　　　　　　　　　 ■Co Organizer (协办单位)： Taipei National University of the Arts 国立台北艺术大学 Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Resource Center, Council of Indigenous Peoples, Executive Yuan 行政院原住民族委员会台湾原住民族图书资讯中心 ■Ps.
