  • A History of Siamese Music Reconstructed from Western Documents 1505-1932
    A HISTORY OF SIAMESE MUSIC RECONSTRUCTED FROM WESTERN DOCUMENTS 1505-1932 This content downloaded from 96.9.90.37 on Thu, 04 Feb 2021 07:36:11 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms Introduction The writing of music history, the chief activity of the musicologist, depends almost entirely on the existence of written documents. Historical studies of various musics of the world have appeared wherever there are such documents: Europe, China, Japan, Korea, India, and in the Islamic cultural area of Western Asia and North Africa. Mainland Southeast Asia, however, has remained much of a musico-historical void since little has remained besides oral traditions and a few stone carvings, although Vietnamese music is an exception to this statement. The fact that these countries have so few trained musicologists also contributes to the lack of research. In the case of the Kingdom of Thailand, known before 1932 as Siam, little has been attempted in the way of music history in languages other than Thai, and those in Thai, also not plentiful, remain unknown to the outside world.l Only the European-trained Prince Damrong has attempted a comprehensive history, but it is based as much on tradition and conjecture as on concrete evidence and is besides quite brief. David Morton's classic study of Thai traditional music, The Traditional Music of Thailand, includes some eighteen pages of history, mostly based on oral traditions, conjecture, circumstantial evidence from neighboring musical cultures (Cambodia, China, and India), and some from the same documents used in this study. At least three reasons can be given for the lack of historical materials originating in Thailand.

This thesis outlines the combination of methods that has allowed me to continue to play while tackling broader questions surrounding permission and place that arise when musicians, dancers, or artists work with materials from other cultures. Through an examination of the geographical, historical, and social contexts of the Isan region I have organized my research around the central themes of place, power, permission, and performance. My intent is to validate the process of knowledge acquisition and the value of what one has learned through action, specifically musical performance, and to properly situate such action within contemporary practice where it can contribute to the development and continuation of an endangered art form. ii Preface This thesis is original, unpublished, independent work by the author, Anne Greenwood. iii Table of Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... ii Preface

    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.

The taphon, the double-headed barrel drum used in the different types of ensembles in Thai classical music, is chosen to be the focus of the study. The thesis is divided in to two parts. In part I, three main issues are proposed to be studied: a) a general description of the drum. This chapter includes the general description of the taphon; the myths and history of the taphon which link it with other Asian musical cultures, other drums of the taphon-type, and the place of the taphon in music ensembles; b) the traditional process of music transmission in taphon lessons. Here the initiation ceremony, yok kru, and the teacher homage ceremony, wai kru, are examined, the taphon tuning, the basic techniques of playing the taphon, the basic strokes, the taphon exercises and the early lessons of nathap and sai are discussed; and c) the drum pattern, nathap, including the definition, the history and development of nathap, the relationship of nathap to other aspects of the rhythmic structure of Thai music, and finally the classification of nathap. Part II is an analysis of nathap and ^/'-making by investigating the micro and macro structure of the performed nathap songrnai in two selected pieces, phleng si nuan chan song and phleng khaek horrathet thao.
