The Meshrep from a Garden in Hanbin County, Yining City of China

摘要

For the song-and-dance ethnic minority Uyghur, Meshrep is one of their most enthusiastic ways to express emotions. As one of triple constituents of Uyghur Muqam, Meshrep originally means a mass rally for entertainment, while now its meaning evolves to song and dance music. Exultance, ardency and intense emotional appeal are the unique hallmarks of Meshrep. Based on my survey, I would like to expound Meshrep with the special case of the Meshrep from the garden of Hanbin County, Yining City.
