Résumé

EMS12 [ Mixed music as cross-cultural dilemma: Between the Western intellectual approach and the Far-Eastern spiritual quest of harmony ] Culture has an undeniable power, yet it rests on an unstable foundation, built on the weaknesses of heritage and ideological tensions. There is the unspoken tendency to consider the superiority of Western culture, which is challenged by composers of other cultures. Faced with this recurring question, every composer responds with an individual reaction while also embracing collective attitudes.  This analytical research, in relation to the awareness of the use of cultural elements, can be divided into four categories within the cultural, philosophical and spiritual contexts of Asian mixed oeuvres. A specific aspect of this question lies in the critical perception of past and present. This is striking in all the history of Western music, with its breaks and transgressions; in Asia, composers, confronted by modernity, draw renewal from the traditional culture with this contemporariness and vice versa. We can also address the question of consciousness or unconsciousness in the use of cultural elements in musical creation. The construction of tones reflects the complexity of the effect of interculturality, which combines the intellectuality of the "self" in writing culturally issued from the West with the spirituality of the harmonious "not self" environment of the Far East. As can be observed, the complexity of all approaches in the field of mixed music reveals in all its simplicity the wealth and sincerity of human beings.
