裝飾音
「裝飾音」（Ornamentation）是音樂中指的是對旋律或樂曲段落進行裝飾或修飾的技巧。它涉及在音樂中增加額外的音符、振音（Trills）、迴音（Turns）、花音（Grace Notes）和其他旋律或節奏的華麗修飾，以增強音樂的表達力和美感。
裝飾音在各種音樂類型和歷史時期中都是不可或缺的一部分。它可以在古典音樂、巴洛克音樂、民間音樂、爵士樂和許多其他風格中找到。不同的音樂傳統和時期都有各自特定的裝飾音技巧和慣例。
在古典音樂中，像約翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫（Johann Sebastian Bach）、沃爾夫岡·阿馬迪斯·莫扎特（Johann Sebastian Bach）和約瑟夫·海頓（Franz Joseph Haydn）這樣的作曲家通常會在他們的作品中標示具體的裝飾音，但演奏者也被期望根據音樂風格和個人演繹添加自己的裝飾音。這些裝飾音可能包括顫音、轉音、滑音、裝飾音符等。
巴洛克音樂尤其重視裝飾音。演奏者被鼓勵在音樂中添加即興或書面的裝飾音，展示他們的技巧和創造力。巴洛克音樂中的裝飾音是一種表達方式，為基本旋律增添裝飾，增強其情感的影響力。
在民間音樂傳統中，裝飾音因文化和地區而異。它可以涉及滑音、彎音、顫音等技巧，賦予音樂其獨特的特色和風味。
在爵士樂中，裝飾音在即興演奏中起著至關重要的作用。爵士音樂家通常用滑音、裝飾音符、半音過渡音等來修飾旋律，為音樂添加個人風格和即興演奏的特色。

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.
