Abstract
This article shows how the ambiguous nature of the metrical structure of the preexistent tunes used in Cantonese opera, which Rulan Chao Pian called “aria types,” allows for multiple interpretations. The flexibility inherent in such metrical ambiguity enables singers to create new musical expressions, leading to new versions and eventually to new aria types that enrich the repertoire. In tracking these processes, the article aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the “preexistent” nature of tunes and to suggest the creativity of the singers.
