chimes. Thai’s combined and adapted these to their culture and created their unique music.
Thai music consists of simple songs with simple melodic lines. Its main focus singing is the
articulation of the text rather than the style or technique of execution. Thailand’s
instrumental ensembles were Piphat, Khruang Sai, and Mahori.

WAYS OF PRODUCING SOUNDS ON A VARIETY OF SOURCES
IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
Background Information for Learners:
Hornbostel–Sachs or Sachs–Hornbostel is a system of musical instrument

classification devised by Erich Moritz von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs, and first published in
the Zeitschrift für Ethnologie in 1914. It is the most widely used system for
classifying musical instruments by ethnomusicologists and organologists (people who study
musical instruments)
Idiophones primarily produce their sounds by means of the actual body of the
instrument vibrating, rather than a string, membrane, or column of air. In essence, this group
includes all percussion instruments apart from drums, as well as some other instruments.
Membranophones primarily produce their sounds by means of the vibration of a

tightly stretched membrane.
Chordophones primarily produce their sounds by means of the vibration of a string

or strings that are stretched between fixed points. This group includes all instruments
generally called string instruments in the west, as well as many (but not all) keyboard
instruments, such as pianos and harpsichords.
Aerophones primarily produce their sounds by means of vibrating air. The instrument
itself does not vibrate, and there are no vibrating strings or membranes.
Instruments in Southeast Asia can be classified according to the Hornbostel-Sachs

classification. Most of the instruments are percussive with an exception of aerophones and
chordophones.
The pinpeat is a Cambodian musical ensemble or an orchestra that usually

accompanies ceremonial music of the royal courts and temples. This group is similar to the
piphat ensemble of Thailand and usually consists of nine or ten instruments. Oneat
(xylophone), Kongvong (gong circles) and Chhing (finger cymbals) are idiophones. Samphor
(double headed drum played with hands) and skorthom (two big drums) are classified as
membranophones.
The gamelan or the gamelan orchestra is the most popular form of music in Indonesia.
It contains a variety of instruments such as metallophones, xylophones, kendang and gongs,
bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings.

The hsaing waing is Myanmar’s traditional folk music ensemble. It is made up mainly
of different gongs and drums as well as other instruments depending on the nature of the
performance. Other instruments in the hsaing waing are hne (a double reed pipe), chauk lon
pat (a set of tuned drums), maung hsaing (larger bronze gongs in rectangular frame), pat
waing (a set of 21 drums in a circle), kyi waing (small bronze gongs in a circular frame) and
siand wa (bell and clapper). For formal and classical performances that are performed
indoors, the ensemble maybe accompanied by the saung gauk (13-stringed angular harp with
soft sound).
Malaysia’s musical ensemble are agung and kulintang, a gong-based musical

ensemble commonly used in funerals ang weddings, Kertok consists of xylophones played
swiftly and rhythmically in traditional Malay functions, Dikir Barat is performed by singing
in a competitive manner usually with percussion accompaniment or sometimes without
instruments at all, Silat Melayu usually accompanied by gongs, drums and Indian oboes.
Thailand has three primary instrumental ensembles that are similar to the other
ensembles in Southeast Asia. Piphat is a mid-sized orchestra that is performed in either
outdoor style with hard mallets or indoor style with padded mallets. Khrueang Sai is an
orchestra that combines some of the percussion and wind instruments of the piphat with an
expanded string section. Mahori is a traditionally played by women in courts and are
historically smaller. However, regular-sized instruments are used today.
Laos orchestra has two categories: Sep Nyai and Sep Noi. Sep Nyai is similar to
Piphat of Thailand with instruments that are strictly percussive but also integrates the use of
an oboe. Sep Noi is known as the mahori of Thailand but it incorporates the use of several
khene which is a large bamboo mouth organ and is the most popular folk music of Laos.
In the following activities, you will explore ways of producing sounds on a variety of
sources that would simulate instruments that you have learned.
Learning Competency with Code:

IMPROVISATION OF SIMPLE ACCOMPANIMENT TO
SELECTED SOUTHEAST ASIAN MUSIC
The music of Southeast Asia has been present since the 2 nd to 3rd century B.C. Music
is an important part of their lives because they use it for rituals, ceremonies, courting and
entertainment.
Songs from Southeast Asia commonly use pentatonic (5-tone) scales or heptatonic (7-
tone) scales. The songs generally are in triple and quadruple meter.
Burung Kakatua is a folk song from Indonesia about the cockatoo (kakatua) and the
village grandmother who listens to it sing.
Loi Krathong or Loy Krathong literally meaning “to float a basket”, is one of the
most-awaited festivals in Thailand. It is in fact, a gigantic event with a marked presence of
people every year who assemble to literally ‘float their baskets’. The tradition directs people
to make ready a beautifully decked basket, which is made of banana leaf. To achieve this,
local flowers, incense, and candles are used together to decorate the basket, which as often as
not, comes out attractively. People assemble with their families by the waters, lit the candles
seated in the basket, and together, float it away on the water.
"Rasa Sayang", literally "loving feeling" or "Rasa Sayange" is a folk song in Malay
language, popular in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The basis of "Rasa Sayang" is
similar to Dondang Sayang and other Malay folk songs, which take their form from
the pantun, a traditional ethnic Malay poetic form.
In the following activities, you will do simple accompaniments for the folk songs
Burung Kakatua, Loi Khratong and Rasa Sayang. Take note of the following musical
symbols and how you will tap it.
Quarter note – clap once Quarter rest – open palm
Eighth notes – clapped twice faster than a quarter note (1 and)

Evaluating Southeast Asian Music and Performances
Background Information for Learners
Music in Southeast Asia is frequently related to ceremonies connected with religion,

the state, community festivals, and family affairs.
Gong orchestras consisting of gongs, metallophones, and xylophones bind Southeast

Asia into one musical cultural group, the types of ensembles and sounds they form may be
classified into four areas. Java and Bali make up one unit because of their predominant use of
bronze instruments in orchestras that make one homogeneous sound. Thailand, Laos, and
Cambodia form another subdivision, with families of musical instruments
producing heterogeneous sounds: the bronze group makes slowly decaying sounds, wooden
xylophones play short sounds, and a reed blows a penetrating melody accompanied by a
fourth group of cymbals, drums, and another gong. Burmese orchestras differ from the
Indonesian and Thai groups by the unique use of a row of tuned drums (sometimes called a
drum circle), with sounds consisting of sharp attacks and quick-vanishing waves. The fourth
area, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, uses several types of suspended and
horizontally laid gongs. These gongs produce various combinations of sounds. The sets of
tuned gongs found throughout Southeast Asia are also called gong chimes, gong kettles, and
gongs in a row.
Musical time is generally divisible in units of two or four in urban music, but it occurs
more freely and without a metric pulse in rural areas, especially in singing. A melody may be
broken down into phrase units consisting of two or four measures that may be joined by four
other phrase units to make a phrase block, and a given number of
blocks constitutes one musical composition. Three speeds of rendition—slow, medium,
fast—in either duple or quadruple time are marked by two alternating strokes in a pair of
cymbals; a dampened clap marks a strong beat, and a ringing vibration denotes a weak beat.
The following activities will help you remember Southeast Asian Music through the musical
performances that you will evaluate.
As you evaluate the musical pieces given, review your elements of music. Rhythm is the how
your music flows. Time Signature, both simple and compound maybe used. Melody is the
tune of the song. Melody has directions (step, skip, leap or stationary). Range maybe narrow
or wide. Form of music may come in Unitary, Binary, Ternary or Rondo.
