南管音樂是保存於泉州、廈門一帶的中原古樂。明朝以後，隨著移民潮而傳入台灣，成為台灣傳統音樂的一支，在台灣音樂史上扮演著重要的角色。然而，隨著西方音樂文化的衝擊、社會型態的轉變等，使南管音樂在今日的台灣社會中逐漸式微。有鑑於此，本論文將著重於將南管音樂的特色融入於創作作品中，本論文可分為四個章節 : 第一章為緒論，闡述筆者之研究動機與目的、研究範圍、研究方法與步驟；第二章為傳統南管音樂的概述，介紹南管音樂之概況、樂器種類、曲種；第三章為四首創作作品探討，論述筆者如何將南管音樂之素材運用於創作作品中；第四章為結論。Nanguau music is one specific kind of music that is preserved along the coast of Quanzho and Xiamen in China.
