Traditional Forms of Music RAMON P Traditional Forms of Music RAMON P. SANTOS, PH. D. T here are two distinct repertoires in Philippine oral traditions: 1) musical forms that evolved from Southeast Asian cultures, usually referred to as indigenous traditions, and 2) musical forms that developed in rural Christian communities, more commonly known as folk music. They may be further categorized into vocal, instrumental, a combination of both, as well as forms that integrate these elements with physical movement, space, dance, and theater. In the first category, many of the musical forms are related to different occasions such as life cycle events and occupational activities and different kinds of rituals. In the Cordillera Administrati ve Region in Northern Luzon, musical performances are done during the agricultural cycle, peace pacts, courtship and marriage, and death rites. These events are highlighted by a feast ritual called cañao , chaw-es , bugnas or peshit among the Ibaloi. Vocal genres among the indigenous communities may be identified according to their functions. Lullabies are called owiwi (Kalinga),while other infancy-related songs include dagdagay and oppia (Kalinga), langan bata-bata (Tausug), bua (Subanen), and kawayanna (Kalinga). Courtship is usually performed in song-debates such as the daieng (Kankana-ey), Batac inanen , estijaro of the Tagacaolo, and the bandayuy of the Matigsalog, which is accompanied on the kuglong (2-string lute) and saluroy (polychorda l zither). There are love incantations like the Manobo antang (for match-making) and sindaay , tarasul (Tausug), tamuyong , dango , oggayam, songs of greetings and advice during a Kalinga wedding. Entertainment songs include the salidummay and dangdang-ay , bayok (Mandaya), and the Manobo limbay , and the Ibaloi allegorical ballad called tamiya . Work songs are called duduru among the Aeta and gagonapu of the Subanen. referring to both fishing and hunting. These songs may be as specific as the Kalinga dakuyon for hunting bats, the Ilongot dinaweg for catching wild boar and kellangan selang and kellangan magsangkali which are sung during Sama shark-fishing. The Kalinga sing the dandannag and the owayat for gathering firewood and the Gatac sing the didayu while making wine. The sowe-ey is a rice-pounding song of the Bontoc. There are also vocal genres that are connected with special rituals, as the bajog and ad'dem which the Ibaloi sing for good harvest, the Bontoc kapya to cure different ailments, the alasan of the Kankana-ey to pray for good fortune, as well as the Ilongot dawak and the Kalinga alisig , both medicine chants. In death rites, the Bontoc chant the didiyaw , similar to the Manobo ulaging and Isneg sangsangit . The balow is sung by the Matigsalog wife to honor her dead husband. Prayer chants among the Islamic communities include the Salathul Juma (Friday prayer), the Tarawe , and the dekir or dikil . Tonal phrases are called lugu which are used in the reading of the Ku'ran There are vo cal genres that may be considered signature forms for specific cultures, such as the Maranao bayok (a form of musical speech-making), the Ibaloi badiw (extemporized leader-chorus poetic verses), and the Kalinga ading (vocal exhortation).On the other hand, specific epics are highly representative of the history and culture of the different communities; like the Maranao Darangen , the Palawan Kudaman , the Ifugao Hudhud , the Kalinga Ullalim, the Maguindanao Rajah Indrapatra , and the Manobo Ulahingan and Tuwaang . Vocal music among rural Christians may be classified into the religious and secular forms. The former consists mostly of hymns related to the different period of the liturgical year, except for the pasyon , which is the day-and-night-long chanting of the life and passion of Christ during the period of Lent. This chanting uses ancient tune formulas like the awit and tagulaylay . At Christmas time, the paraliturgical event called panuluyan re-enacts the plight of Mary and Joseph, at which the dialogue verses are sung on pre-existing tunes. Local carols are called villancicos , dayegon among the Visayan, and tamborra of the Cuyunin. During Easter, the aleluya and hosana are sung during the salubong (first meeting of the resurrected Christ and Mary). During the May processions, such hymns as the Aurora , Kristiyanong turog , dotok, gozo , are commonly heard in the Bicol region. The dalit is a strophic hymn with repeated melody. Among the Tagalog of Batangas, it is sung before and after the performance of subli . To honor the dead, the Ilocano still perform the dung-aw . Secular folk vocal music covers a wide variety of forms, from long romance narratives called awit , kurido , kuriru (Kapangpangan) and pinagbiag , and ballads like the Visayan composo , to short song genres; e.g. kumintang and kundiman of the Tagalog, the Tagalog lullaby called oyayi , the harana (serenade), children's songs, as well as song-debates such as the pandangguhan , the balitao from Cebu and Bohol, and the dal-lot of the Ilocano. Instrumental music in the indigenous cultures are usually identified according to the types of ensembles, playing styles or instruments such as the sulibao ensemble of the Ibaloi, gangsa pattung or toppaya, kulintang, tangunggua'n, etc., as well as titles of individual pieces, like "Kapagonor", "F' rnawa Klongonon", "Palandok" , or "Sungsung patubig". The kulintang repertoire may consist of a suite of pieces based on melodic-rhythmic modes such as duyug, sinulug, tidtu, binalig, and tangunggu of the Maguindanao. The tagunggu (instrumental music making) of the Yakan is usually performed as a set of two improvised pieces: te-ed and kuriri . The term tagunggu among the peoples of Mindanao uplands usually refers to the music of the hanging agung or kulintang. Among the Kankana-ey, the takik is music played by the gong and drum ensemble to accompany dance. Instrumental music in the countryside is usually performed by the brass band or its replication in bamboo instruments, the rondalla (plucked string ensemble), and various smaller combinations of string and wind instruments. The repertoire consists of hymns, marches, pasodoble , medleys of popular folk tunes, as well as longer compositi ons such as overtures and one-movement concertant pieces. The latter are usually played during band competitions called serenata . The town band is quite indispensable in religious activities such as processions and funerals, and it also assists local theatrical productions like the komedya and senakulo . The smaller ensembles are often utilized to accompany the singing in churches. Reference/s: Brandeis, Hans. Zur Musik der Higa-onon am Libang-Fluss, Agusan del Sur. Berlin, 1980. Butocan, Aga Mayo.

Transborder TheorIes and ParadIgms In EthnomusIcological StudIes of Folk MusIc: VIsIons for Mo Lam in Mainland Southeast Asia ThIs talk explores the nature and IdentIty of tradItIonal musIc, prIncIpally khaen musIc and lam performIng arts In northeastern ThaIland (Isan) and Laos. Mo lam refers to an expert of lam singIng who Is routInely accompanIed by a mo khaen, a skIlled player of the bamboo panpIpe. DurIng 1972 and 1973, Dr. ChonpaIrot conducted fIeld studIes on Mo lam in northeast Thailand and Laos with Dr. Terry E. Miller. For many generatIons, LaotIan and Thai villagers have crossed the natIonal border constItuted by the Mekong RIver to visit relatIves and to partIcipate In regular festivals. However, ChonpaIrot and Miller’s fieldwork took place durIng the fInal stages of the VIetnam War which had begun more than a decade earlIer. DurIng theIr fIeldwork they collected cassette recordings of lam singIng from LaotIan radIo statIons In VIentIane and Savannakhet. ChonpaIrot also conducted fieldwork among Laotian artists living in Thai refugee camps. After the VIetnam War ended, many more Laotians who had worked for the AmerIcans fled to ThaI refugee camps. ChonpaIrot delIneated Mo lam regIonal melodIes coupled to specIfic IdentItIes In each locality of the music’s origin. He chose Lam Khon Savan from southern Laos for hIs dIssertation topIc, and also collected data from senIor Laotian mo lam tradItion-bearers then resIdent In the United States and France.

  • Context and Change in Japanese Music Alison Mcqueen Tokita and David Hughes
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SOAS Research Online ASHGATE RESEARCH 1 COMPANION Context and change in Japanese music Alison McQueen Tokita and David Hughes 1. What is ‘Japanese music’? Increasingly, the common view of Japan as a mono-cultural, mono-ethnic society, whether in modern or ancient times, is being challenged (Denoon et al. 1996). The category ‘Japan’ itself has been questioned by many (for example Amino 1992; Morris-Suzuki 1998). Amino insists that when discussing the past we should talk not about Japan or the Japanese people, but about people who lived in the Japanese archipelago. If Japan itself is not a solid entity, neither can its musical culture be reduced to a monolithic entity. If the apparently simple label ‘music of Japan’ might refer to any music to be found in Japan, then the phrase ‘music of the Japanese’ would cover any music played or enjoyed by the Japanese, assuming we can talk with confidence about ‘the Japanese’. The phrase ‘Japanese music’ might include any music that originated in Japan. This book would ideally cover all such possibilities, but must be ruthlessly selective. It takes as its main focus the musical culture of the past, and the current practices of those traditions as transmitted to the present day. A subsidiary aim is to assess the state of research in Japanese music and of research directions. The two closing chapters cover Western-influenced popular and classical musics respectively. At least, rather than ‘Japanese music’, we might do better to talk about ‘Japanese musics’, which becomes one justification for the multi-author approach of this volume.

The unit could be used as part of an Asian history or Western history cours.u. The approximate time required for the unit is 12 class periods. Student handouts are provided. The unit begins by asking students to think about reasons why they enjoy music. A format for examining personal reasons for their listening habits evolves from this process. The materials then ask students to examine the idea that music is both a reflection and a reinforcer of cultural values. Three specific themes are explored and compared. Political socialization is examined anJ compared in the form of patriotic music and its similarity in function.
