Abstract | By introducing a newly-discovered manuscript copy of the lyric song anthology of the poet-musician
Jiang Kui (1155–1221), this paper aims to elucidate a hitherto unnoticed musical form of the genre: the jindou form. A comparison between the manuscript and all the early modern editions reveals discrepancies in the stanzaic divisions of four of Jiang’s seventeen songs for which he provided
notation. Through musical analysis it is argued that the opening line of the second stanza in all
the early modern editions may have been intentionally placed at the end of the first in the newly-discovered manuscript in order to remind the singer of the jindou form, in which the cadential notes of
the first stanza immediately repeat at the beginning of the second. Therefore, these 'unusual' stanzaic
divisions are not mistakes, but indications of conventional performance practice in the twelfth century as dictated by musical factors. |
