摘要：20世纪30年代中期，合唱作为一种公共表演形式在上海兴起，是历史发展和条件重叠的结果。本研究探讨了新的声音技术、新的歌唱题材和题材的引入，以及对国家危机的敏锐感知如何融合在一起，使“社区歌唱”成为一种新的音乐实践，并产生一种新的声音文化。有声电影尤其能让新英雄的形象清晰可辨。刘良模是上海基督教青年会（YMCA）的秘书，他在发起和推动社区歌唱运动方面发挥了重要作用。他的努力，以及左派作曲家和音乐理论家Lü纪的贡献，推动了1937年抗日战争爆发后中国作为一个“歌唱的国家”的出现。这个过程是文化和政治历史的一个组成部分，它产生了一个清晰的、可听的主题，反对现代性的音景。
Abstract:The rise of choral singing as public performance in Shanghai during the mid-1930s was the result of overlapping historical developments and conditions. This study considers how new sound technologies, the introduction of new singing subjects as well as subject matter, and an acute sense of the nation in crisis converged to turn “community singing” into a fresh musical practice and generate a new sonic culture. Sound cinema in particular made new heroes visible as well as audible. Liu Liangmo, a secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Shanghai, was instrumental in initiating and promoting the community singing movement. His efforts, along with contributions by Lü Ji, a composer and music theorist of the cultural left, propelled the emergence of China as a “singing nation” by the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japan in 1937. This process was an integral part of the cultural as well as political history of producing an articulate and audible subject against the soundscape of modernity.
