Musical narrativity had a significant influence on the variety and diversity of artistic forms in contexts of music performance research. However, understanding many aspects of musical narrativity in music performances requires a deeper understanding, especially related to expression features from the performer’s perspective. This article examines a number of aspects of musical narrativity that correlate with the style of performance in Jin Chengzhi's Choral compositions. There are three objectives in this article. The first is to investigate the characteristics of Jin Chengzhi's Choral compositions. The second is to review the musical narrativity literatures in the context of music performance. The third is to correlate musical narrativity in the context of artistic research of music performance. The methodology of this research is carried out based on a literature study. This article is part of ongoing research with the title “Musical Narrativity in Performing Selected Choral Works by Jin Chengzhi”. Through this article, it is hoped that the understanding of the aspects of musical narrativity in the choral music performance style can be clarified.
