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. 您聽過Pasibutbut 「祈禱小米豐收歌」抑或是「初種小米之歌」嗎？上述正是臺灣布農族響徹國際的「八部合音」。 臺灣布農族主要居住在海拔1500公尺以上的高山上，人口現約4萬人，所有歌曲幾乎圍繞著打獵、祈求與生活。布農族沒有情歌、沒有舞蹈、沒有獨唱歌曲、沒有齊唱歌曲，但是有歌必合。在音樂洪流中，布農族多聲部的八部合音，成為目前世界上獨一無二的和音方式，如何能夠傳唱至今，成為世界音樂、台灣民族音樂的瑰寶呢？期待您一起共享此音樂盛宴。免費入場，現場備有精緻茶點，歡迎踴躍參加！ Free English Speech(免費英文講座) ■Speaker(主講人)：Rung-Shun Wu, Taipei National University of the Arts 國立台北藝術大學 吳榮順教授 ■Date/Time(日期/時間)：2011/12/05 Mon. 19:00~21:00 P.M. ■Location(地點)：3F Conference Room, Life Science Building, National Taiwan University 國立臺灣大學生命科學館3樓演講廳 ■Contact(聯絡方式)：02-33669863Ms. Kelly Chang(張立賢 小姐) [email protected] ■Organizer (主辦單位) ： General Education TW (GET)　 教育部臺灣通識網http://get.nccu.edu.tw:8080/getcdb/　　　　　　　　　 ■Co Organizer (協辦單位)： Taipei National University of the Arts 國立台北藝術大學 Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Resource Center, Council of Indigenous Peoples, Executive Yuan 行政院原住民族委員會臺灣原住民族圖書資訊中心 ■Ps.
