• Classical Chinese music developed together and always interacted with ritual performance and dance and had accompanied theater since the Yuan dynasty. Chinese music as a body of value and as a technique has been transmitted from master to apprentice via oral forms or literary explanation. The classical notations are written forms of literary description of fingering, mainly for string instruments. There are in general seven styles of major tunes in the Chinese theater. The total range of the theater orchestra is about two octaves and there are three types of musical instruments: the string, the wind and the percussion. The main medium of music in the Chinese theater is lyrical expression, and singing and chanting is far more important than instrumental accompaniment. The drama is partly sung, partly chanted and partly spoken.
