  • 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.

A dolgozat második részéhez a szerző összegyűjtötte a fellelhető, hichiriki-re íródott 20. századi és kortárs darabok kottáit és hangfelvételeit, és ezek elemzésével mutat rá a hangszerjáték új vonásaira. A művek elemzése rávilágít arra, hogy a hangszer, melynek több, mint ezer éven át változatlan tradíciója volt, melyen egyféle játékmóddal játszottak egyféle zenét, ma él és virágzik, új irodalma van és játékmódja számos játéktechnikával bővült.

    RAST SOUND LIBRARY OVERVIEW Sounds of Cambodia is recorded in coordination with Cambodian Living Arts and leading musicians.Wide range of Cambodian instruments and vocals, most of them sampled for the first time in detail. The music of Cambodia is derived from a mesh of cultural traditions dating back to the ancient Khmer Empire, India, China and the original indigenous tribes living in the area before the arrival of Indian and Chinese travelers. Cambodian Art music is highly influenced by ancient forms as well as Hindu forms. Religious dancing, many of which depict stories and ancient myths, are common in Cambodian culture. Although being from deeply traditional and authentic roots, we were most impressed and pleasantly surprised with the usability of these sounds in contemporary context and for further sound design. We have created responsive playable solo instruments for Kontakt, endless patterns, phrases, words and more. Vocals, strings, wind and percussion instruments are available through Kontakt as well as WAV. We would like to thank Jaim Cleeland for having a key role as a co-producer and all musicians, technicians involved.

Dans le contexte de nombreuses civilisations, de la même façon qu’en Europe au Moyen Age, le terme d’art définit essentiellement un savoir-faire ; la raison d’être des formes qu’il met en œuvre, notamment des formes musicales, procède avant tout de leur efficacité reconnue, tant sur le plan de leur valeur symbolique et de l’usage rituel qui en découle, qu’au niveau des vertus que sa pratique engendre et, accessoirement, à celui des émotions et des réactions qu’elle suscite chez ses destinataires. L’esthétique peut être définie comme la « science du beau culturellement déterminé », et en même temps comme le « pouvoir attractif de la beauté » ; elle se réfère ainsi aux domaines de la métaphysique (dont elle tire ses modèles), de la philosophie (qui en définit les principes), de l’anthropologie culturelle (qui en analyse les champs d’application collectif) et de la psychologie (qui en mesure les effets individuels).

Celui-ci réunit en effet aussi bien des professionnels que des amateurs, rescapés des purges culturelles du régime des Khmers Rouges de Pol Pot, à la fin des années soixante-dix. 2 Leur volonté de vivre et de survivre se manifeste dès le début du trott (une danse traditionnelle de mendiant) : son rythme, aux contretemps marqués par les tambours samphô et skor, contraste fortement avec les sons des instruments à cordes et à vent, et des autres percussions (tro sao, kloï, roneat ek).

Les khmers en sont les principaux habitants. Implanté dans la région depuis des temps anciens, ce groupe ethnique possède une langue et un alphabet qui lui sont propres. Les nombreux temples qui furent construits sur le territoire khmer pendant plus d’un millénaire témoignent d’une richesse culturelle unique dans laquelle transparaît la savante synthèse qui s’opéra entre le fond autochtone khmer et les influences reçues de pays voisins. Le Cambodge adopta notamment de nombreux éléments de l’Inde, région avec laquelle il fut en contact dès les premiers siècles de l’ère chrétienne via les réseaux marchands reliant l’Asie du sud à la péninsule sud-est asiatique. Des prêtres hindous et bouddhistes accompagnaient les négociants dans leurs expéditions, propageant entre autres ces pensées religieuses. Elles eurent un impact considérable sur les croyances khmères.
