  • The Last of the Thai Traditional Music Teachers
    Uncle Samruay — the Last of the Thai Traditional Music Teachers The SPAFA crew visited the Premjai House of Music to explore its hospital-based concept of a school/repair centre, where Patsri Tippayaprapai interviewed the 69-year-old renowned master musician Samruay Premjai. The people of Thailand have been making indigenous musical instruments since ancient times, during which they also adapted instruments of other countries to create what are now regarded as Thai musical instruments. Through contact with Indian culture, the early Thai kingdoms assimilated and incorporated Indian musical traditions in their musical practices, using instruments such as the phin, sang, pi chanai, krachap pi, chakhe, and thon, which were referred to in the Master Samruay Premjai Tribhumikatha, an ancient book in the Thai language; they were also mentioned on a stone inscription (dated to the time of King Ramkhamhaeng, Sukhothai period). During the Ayutthaya period, the Thai instrumental ensemble consisted of between four and eight musicians, when songs known as 'Phleng Rua' were long and performed with refined skills. The instrumental ensemble later expanded to a composition of twelve musicians, and music became an indispensable part of theatre and other diverse occasions such as marriages, funerals, festivals, etc.. There Illustration ofSukhotai period ensemble of musicians are today approximately fifty kinds of Thai musical instruments, including xylophones, chimes, flutes, gongs, stringed instruments, and others. SPAFA Journal Vol. 16 No. 3 19 Traditionally, Thai musicians were trained by their teachers through constant practising before their trainers. Memory, diligence and perseverance were essential in mastering the art. Today, however, that tradition is gradually being phased out.

  • Relative Nature of Thai Traditional Music Through Its Tuning System
    IJCAS: Vol. 2, Number 1 June 2015 Relative Nature of Thai Traditional Music through its Tuning System Nattapol Wisuttipat Bharat Vidyalaya School Srinakharinwirot University email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Thai traditional music exhibits number of relative characteristics, though many of them are not expressed explicitly but only demonstrated orally. Its tuning system, despite having been put through many scientific studies for decades, cannot be given the absolute pitch frequencies. It is therefore possible that the tuning system does not have any absolute pitch frequencies but possesses relative nature. This papers aims to present the historic background, characteristics, past, current practices of Thai traditional music’s tuning system and to put forward the theoretical idea of non-existence of absolute tuning frequency and that of relative nature of Thai traditional music’s tuning system. The data was collected from previous researches on Thai traditional music’s tuning system and from sample instruments. The latter was then compared to each other and analyzed with respect to the former. The preliminary results were that tuning system of Thai traditional music was in the form of seven-tone equal temperament without any sharps or flats. But practically, it was not exactly equal as musicians still prefer the traditionalbiased tunings which is believed to be more tuneful. Regarding the tuning practices, the tuning of Fine Arts Department are most dominating among several others. Even though, the tuning of Fine Arts Department measure from various sources are slightly different in terms of frequencies and intervals. It can be concluded that the tuning system of Thai traditional music does not rely on specific pitch frequency, but is relative to intervals and personal preferences and its absolute pitch frequency is yet to be established.

  • 19Th Century Musical Instruments in the Smithsonian Collection of Thai Royal Gifts
    Instruments of Diplomacy: 19th Century Musical Instruments in the Smithsonian Collection of Thai Royal Gifts Paul Michael Taylor William Bradford Smith Abstract—This paper discusses two groups of musical instruments gifted by Thai monarchs to the United States: six instruments accompanying the Harris Treaty (1856) and nineteen instruments sent for Philadelphia’s Centennial Exposition (1876). We suggest that the selection of these pieces was primarily for aesthetic quality or display, not for their acoustic properties. Though they are visually impressive, sometimes a single item was given of normally paired instruments; some pairs given are not of matching design; non-visible components required to play them were originally missing; and one cannot assemble the instruments given into most traditional ensembles. Yet they served well as symbols, in King Mongkut’s words to U.S. President Pierce, of “heartful and true friendship” and to confirm the “power in manufactures” of Thailand’s “workmen and artists.” We conclude by briefly contrasting these with the instruments presented to the Library of Congress by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Rama IX (a musician himself), during his 1960 visit to Washington, D.C. The collection of Thai objects held within the anthropology department of the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, reflects a long history of scientific collecting and donations of many kinds in addition to the component for which this collection is most widely known, the Royal Gifts1 from monarchs of Thailand to the United States, the earliest of which were transferred to the Smithsonian as the national museum of the United States in 1858. These are of priceless historical significance, and the gifts from King Mongkut in 1856 comprised one of two sets of objects (the other being material collected during Matthew Perry’s 1854 expedition to Japan) which were cataloged together after these and other “government collections” (see Hinsley 1981: 67-8) of exotic and valuable objects were in 1858 transferred to the Smithsonian Institution from the U.S.
