 Lesson

1 Music of Southeast Asia

“It’s more fun in the Philippines!” Have you ever heard of this statement? It
reminds us of the wonderful feelings we experienced when we studied Philippine
Music in our Grade 7 lessons. Being a “Pinoy” is an identity one should be proud of
since our culture is so rich especially in the field of music and arts.

Now let’s take a look and move on to our friendly neighbours in Southeast
Asia. These countries are seemingly closer to us, you will discover that our music
has similarities to their music and how these people uphold their culture by
propagating their tradition and showcasing their best performances in varied art
forms.

In this module, you will be dealing with varied activities and will be learning
more on the significant concepts and principles of Southeast Asian music.

Music greatly influenced the lives of the people in Southeast Asia as depicted
in their daily living. It is related to ceremonies connected to beliefs, state, and
community affairs. Musical division does exist between the urban and rural areas. It
has many musical styles of which some are related to culture reflected through
timbre, rhythm, melody, texture, and style.

 Cambodian court music is roughly similar to the music of Java, Indonesia. Its
musical art is highly influenced by ancient forms as well as Hindu forms. Their
music is also absorbed and adopted from Indian, Chinese, and European which
resulted to a distinct Cambodian culture.

Music has always been a part of their dances, plays, and religious events and
it is accompanied by an orchestra. There are two ensembles in Cambodia:

Pinpeat – stringed and percussion instruments used to accompany dances, in

praying to God or spirit, and other ceremonies.
 Roneath (xylophone in metal or bamboo)
 Kong (percussion instrument surrounding the player) (gong circles)
 Skor Thom (a very big drum, which has two faces, for making the rhythm),
 Sampho (a big drum, which has two faces, for making the rhythm)
 Sro Lai (a big recorder)
 Chhoeng (percussion instrument hitting each other for making rhythm)
(finger cymbals)

Mohory – stringed instruments that can only be used to accompany dance, theatre,
wedding, and other ceremonies.
 Khoem (with 35 horizontal strings instrument)
 Ta Khe (with 3 horizontal strings instrument)
 Tro (with vertical strings instrument)
 Skor Dai (a small drum for making rhythm)
 Khloy (recorder)
 Chhoeng

 Singing has become one of the talents of Indonesians. Not just a common
Indonesian but even the president sings his favorite song during gatherings.
Indonesian music was enriched with interaction with other cultures such as Indian,
Arabic, Chinese, and European leading to a wider range of musical styles. Its
contemporary music has reached countries outside its boundaries.

Gamelan or gamelan orchestra is an Indonesian ensemble composed of 50 to

80 instruments which accompany shadow puppet plays and other major events like
special ceremonies and weddings.

Here are the instruments in gamelan:

 Metallophones metal xylophones)
o saron (with seven bronze keys and no resonators, played with
hard mallets)
o gender (with bamboo resonators, played with soft mallets).
o slentem is similar to the gender except it has lesser keys.
 bonangs (small bronze kettles mounted on the frame and struck by a pair of
long sticks bound with chords),
 gambang (xylophone with hardwood bars struck with sticks made of buffalo
horn),
 suling (bamboo flute)
 rehab (two-string fiddle of Arab origin)
 siter or celempung (zithers)
 celempung has 26 strings organized in 13 pairs that stretch over a coffin-like
soundboard supported with four legs.
 gongs - kenong, ketuk and kempul
 drums - Kendnag are drums beaten by hand. The bedug is a drum struck
with a stick.

Popular gamelans in the country are the Javanese gamelan which is used in
court music and Balinese gamelan which plays sacred music.

Slendro and peloq are two different tuning systems used in Indonesian
gamelan orchestra. The former refers to five (5) equidistant tones in octave while
the latter adopts heptatonic (7) tone scale with semi-tone.

Myanmar is formerly known as Burma which has more than 100 ethnic
groups. Its traditional music is an indispensable factor in the spiritual life of its
people. Its music has similarities with many other musical traditions including
Chinese music and Thai music.

Burmese music emphasizes inner melody whose music sounds are richly
theatrical. The musical instruments are categorized into two namely: anyeint
(instruments played in concerts) and hsaing-waing (instruments played for
orchestra).

The hsaing waing is the country’s traditional folk music ensemble performing
at ceremonies and festivals without xylophone and stringed instruments. It only has:
 Hne (a double-reed pipe)
 Chauk Lon Pat (a set of 8 tuned drums)
 Maung Hsaing (larger bronze gongs in a rectangular frame)
 Pat waing (a set of 21 drums in a circle)
 Kyi waing (small bronze gongs in a circular frame)

The national instrument of Myanmar is called saung gauk. It is usually played

during formal occasions.

The Piphat ensemble is made up of percussion and wind instruments. The most common Piphat is
known as the piphat maikhaeng.

The Music of Thailand flourished in spite of occasional oppression from

monarchs like Rama and the burning of Ayutthaya. However, European and
American music have become extremely influential as well as the Asian music.
There are two popular styles of traditional Thai music. First is the ‘lukthung’ which
is developed in the mid-20th century whose music usually tells about daily trials
and tribulations of rural Thai. The second one is ‘mor lam’ which is dominant folk
music that speaks about the poor conditions in rural areas.

There are three musical ensembles of Thailand:

1. Piphat – performs with a hard and padded mallet on occasions like funerals,
cremation ceremony and during the holding of shadow puppetry.
 khongwong (gong circles)
 renat (Thai xylophones)
 klong (different kinds of drums)
 klui (recorder)
 diddley bow (a large single-stringed instrument that sounds like a bass)
 kaen (reed mouth organ)
 picnai (oboe-like instrument)

2. Khrueangsai – combines percussion and wind instruments for indoor

performances used to accompany the stick-puppet theater.
 saw duang (a high-pitched two-string bowed lute)
 saw u (the lower-pitched bowed lute)
 jakhe (the three-string plucked zither).
 khlui (vertical fipple flute) in several sizes and ranges
 goblet drum (thon-rammana)
 a small hammered Chinese dulcimer

12 CO_Q1_Music8_Module1
 3. Mahori – traditionally played by court women which prefer small-sized
instruments combined from Piphat and Khrueangsai instruments during
special occasions. At present, a regular-sized instrument is used.
 three-string saw samsai fiddle

Laos

The music of Laos includes the music of the Lao people, a Tai ethnic group, and other ethnic
groups living in Laos. The traditional music of Laos has similarities with the traditional
music of Thailand and Cambodia, including the names of the instruments
and influences and developments.
Source: Dianne Gutierrez / SlideShare

The traditional music of Laos has similarities with that of Thailand and
Cambodia. This is also true in the names of their musical instruments. During
Buddhist Holidays, performances of Laotian music can be observed. The term ‘Lao’
is derived from ‘penglaodeum’ which refers to the traditional songs that describe
royal court music. Historical records indicate that these songs are influenced by
ancient Khmer traditions and the mountainous ethnic groups.

Laos’ musical ensemble is categorized into two:

1. Sep Nyai – uses instruments that are percussive; similar to Thai’s piphat.
2. Sep Noi – uses khene which is a mouth organ made of bamboo; similar to
Thai’s mahori.
