No matter in which form a funeral is conducted, music is always involved. Music remedies the silence in funerals, and covers the wail of grief as well as alleviates the fear of death. However, some people’s close encounter to death arouses an interest in Death, and even pushes them to delve into and explore death. “Evocation” is one of the few local bands who play the music style of “Death Metal”. Ah-Ho, one of the band members, was diagnosed with terminal cancer a few years back. Fortunately, he survived after receiving bone marrow transplantation. After realising his “escape from death”, Ah-Ho has a drastic shift in personality. Tomy, the lead singer and composer, is also influenced by Ah-Ho and gradually gains insight into life and death. Realisation dispels fears, and even generates interest in death, then leads the band to express personal views and understanding about death through songs. The band also brings evocation streamers and amulets on stage to bring the mysterious Taoist tone in their performance. Music is an important element in Taoist funeral rites. During the rites of pacifying souls and breaking Hell-gate, Chiu-musicians accompany the tireless paeans of the ritual spiritualists with melodious tone of Yehu, to admonish the wandering souls and lead them to repentance, thereby indoctrinating and salvaging them. Besides, Taoist music serves the psychotherapeutic function of comforting the bereaved relatives and friends. Unfortunately, the traditional Taoist funeral rites are fastidious and complicated, and most people nowadays find them incomprehensible and unacceptable. As a consequence, simplification becomes their inexorable fate. Whether the tradition can be preserved and inherited, is truly a question of worry.
