《十五首聖詩合唱曲》是在2013年秋季至2014年春季陸續寫成，當時我的母親患病住院、出院後在家治療期間我陪同照顧，有感於人的生命之脆弱、神的天地之廣闊，感恩“神愛世人”之無限厚愛、回饋父母之培養教育之艱途，深深觸動心田，悠悠感懷天地，隨一氣呵成。我曾經在英國留學六年，期間在周日常常去當地教會聚會，深為聚會中的高質量合唱的演出而感動，很多現場聖詩合唱的錄像我都要反覆回味、觀看，由此認識到，只有被歌聲感動才能更深刻地領會 神的旨意，而感動的原因也在於合唱的創作質量以及合唱團的演繹水平，這些觀察和反思構成了自己對聖詩音樂的必要認識，也為自己創作聖詩合唱的意願打下伏筆。在寫作之初，我選擇了一些聖經詞句，感覺部分有些地方不“押韻”，改動了個別詞句而自以為更合歌意，卻被母親及時指正：聖經之語隻字不動，才能保持原有的韻味和深意。因此，這15首聖詩詞句是完全遵守原詞原意的，在此基礎上，構思了合唱的整體與局部結構，並根據題材和表現的需要安排了三種合唱的演唱方式：三聲部混聲合唱、女聲合唱、四聲部混聲合唱。其次對音樂風格的設想，格調與時代感是首先...

姚恒璐教授的這套90年代的手稿版作品輯，體現了如同大多數海外華人同樣的海外求學歷史蹤跡——在立足本民族音樂風格的基礎上，引用當代音樂的表現手段與表達方式，創作出有別于西方作曲家的現代音樂作品。在臺灣，也有大批作曲家、藝術家曾在各國留學，從不同的國家學到頗有差異的創作觀念與技法影響下的、風格各異的藝術品味，只不過相比之下，臺灣香港等地的學人在海外留學的歷史更久更長遠一些。從作品的分類看，這些手稿作品屬於室內樂的範疇，作品涉及到弦樂、木管、銅管、打擊樂的各種編制，內容大多也是涉及到與中國文化相關聯的題材內容，這些作法當然與在英國攻讀作曲專業的碩士、博士學位期間，對於提交的作品在題材體裁方面有著更細緻的要求相關，但是也從另外一個方面反映出作曲家自身豐富的生活經歷與文化底蘊，善於將某些西方作曲技法巧妙而有機地反映在中國題材與表現形式當中。例如，長笛四重奏《小河淌水》，就其音質相同的4把長笛樂器而言，作品的構思類似於絃樂四重奏的想法，在同音色的背景下努力表現出“非同類”色彩的效果，並且以大幅變奏的手法深化了音樂主題。《無詞韻》則是基於中國水墨畫濃墨淺抹...

This book delves into the cutting-edge field of person re-identification (ReID), a critical area within deep learning and computer vision. Addressing key challenges in current ReID models, it presents novel research combining automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques across three core aspects: data augmentation, network architecture, and loss functions.Readers will discover five innovative methods designed to overcome specific limitations in existing ReID systems. These includ...

Despite China's desire to make its rapid ascendance in the 21st century as non provocative as possible, the key to ensure China's peaceful rise lies in two-way integration and engagement. A closely integrated China with the rest of the world and China's acceptance of existing international norms and rules may compel China to behave in a more predictable and responsive way. This co-edited book examines China's rising military capacity and the complex feelings its neighbors, such as Taiwan, ...
