HSAING WAING ENSEMBLE: "Hnin thon tha he min--Season of Mists" This melody is drawn from the court music of the Burmese kings (17th 18th C). This ensemble is found in a variety of contexts in Burma, including monastic festivals, rituals of the spirits and sporting events. This example features the full hsaing waing troupe, including: patt waing (drum circle), hne (oboe), kyi waing (gong circle), si and wa (bell and clapper), among others. Performed by the Saing Waing of Sein Tin Htay from the town of Okkalapa (near Rangoon/Yangon). (Birmanie: Musique D'Art Ocora C559019/020) Philippines 6. KULINTANG ENSEMBLE: “Sinulog a Kangungudan,” traditional Magindanaon melody. The Kulintang ensemble is associated with the Muslim peoples of the Philippines. The two main popular styles are those of the Magindanaons and Maranaos, the two largest Muslim groups in the Mindanao islands. This example is representative of the Magindanaon style. There are three modes in the Magindanaon kulintang, each characterized by its own rhythms and melodies: binalig, sinulog, and tidtu. This example is in the newer sinulog mode. The Magindanaon kulintang ensemble features the following instruments: kulintang (row of eight graduated gongs; develops the melodic patterns), agung (two large, thick-rimmed hanging gongs; reinforces the rhythm), gandingan (4 large, thin-rimmed hanging gongs; reinforces the rhythm and plays secondary melodic part), babandil (small, thin-rimmed hanging gong; time keeper), and dabakan (goblet-shaped or hourglass-shaped drum; keeps a steady rhythm).

  • The Popular Music Industry in Yangon, Burma A
    REVEALING THE HEART: THE POPULAR MUSIC INDUSTRY IN YANGON, BURMA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Heather Mary MacLachlan August 2009 © 2009 Heather Mary MacLachlan REVEALING THE HEART: THE POPULAR MUSIC INDUSTRY IN YANGON, BURMA Heather Mary MacLachlan, Ph.D. Cornell University 2009 This dissertation is an ethnography of the Burmese popular music scene, which is centered in Yangon, Burma. The author attended concerts, rehearsals, recording sessions and music classes to develop the data discussed in the dissertation. She conducted seventy-seven individual interviews with members of the industry, including singers, instrument players, composers, studio owners, producers, managers, radio station employees and censors. In Chapter 1, she describes a typical recording session and then explains how the people there typify the larger Burmese pop music scene in terms of their gender, religion, career path, and their relationships to their fans, each other, and their government. She argues that musicians‟ frequent contributions to humanitarian causes are relevant to the ongoing debate about the development of civil society in Burma today. In Chapter 2, she describes a typical live show. She analyzes the kind of music that Burmese pop musicians create and describes their theories about music, showing that, for them, preserving the Anglo-American pop tradition is usually more important than creating innovative musical works. In Chapter 3, she explains the Burmese approach to learning and rehearsing music, showing that musicians‟ beliefs about talent mediate their rehearsal practices. Chapter 4 explains that, in Burma, musical recordings are distributed both via legal channels and by pirates, who pose – according to industry members – a tremendous threat to the industry.
