Interlude
間奏
「間奏」（Interlude）指的是相對短暫的音樂片段或部分，出現在作品的較大、更突出的部分之間。「間奏」在作品中具有多種用途，例如在不同主題材料之間提供過渡，提供對比的時刻，或允許進行樂器演奏或即興獨奏。
「間奏」的特徵可以根據音樂風格、上下文和作曲家的意圖而有很大的變化。「間奏」可能涉及節奏、和聲、速度或樂器的變化，從而在前後部分中創造出獨特的間隔。這種對比可以為作品增添趣味性和多樣性。
在某些情況下，「間奏」也可以在較長的作品中充當短暫的暫停或反思時刻。它們使聽眾暫時離開主題材料，讓他們在繼續前進到下一個部分之前吸收所聽到的內容。
「間奏」在各種音樂流派中都很常見，包括古典音樂、爵士樂、搖滾樂和流行樂。它們可以在交響曲、歌劇、概念專輯中找到，甚至可以在單獨的歌曲中，用於過渡連接副歌和副歌之間。

G Song by Terry Riley
As an iconic American composer, Terry Riley (born 1935) is always considered as a minimalist. However, this kind of thoughts would be ignoring part of his creativity. In fact, Riley added plenty elements in his compositions since 1970s, especially when he started collaborating with the Kronos Quartet. Riley’s composing style is very extensive, including improvisation, polyrhythm and jazz. He adopted classical elements, such as instrumentation, musical forms, structure and tonality. He also combined the elements from different periods to create unique musical textures. This research focuses on Terry Riley’s String Quartet, G Song. The research will be divided into two parts. The first part introduces Riley’s life and the background of G Song. The second part focuses on music analysis, including the musical structure “Two forms in one work”; The harmony “Unresolved Dissonance”; The rhythm “Metric Modulation”; The baroque “Canon”; The modern “Pointillism”. The purpose of this study is to discuss how Riley combined classicism and modernism into a work, and discuss why the statement “Terry Riley is considered as minimalist” would be ignoring part of his story.
