Abstract

In our study, the village has continuously been developed in many aspects due to assistance and development efforts by both concerned private and state sectors. The ethnic music has been passed down from generation to generation through oral legends. The musical instruments are made from available local materials. There are four elements to their musical system, namely “Yat’ for melody and “Yo”, “Tong Lor”, and “Chao Joei” as percussion. There are two types of musical assemble: one consisting of the four instruments and the other consisting of the three percussion instruments. Most musicians were aged between 40 to 55 years and their major occupation was farming. They were dressed in traditional costumes when performing in ritual ceremonies. The music was performed in only three important ceremonies: full-scale marriage, funeral, and traditional New Year with the total of 11 songs. The analysis revealed that the songs contained only one melodied rhythm and there was no use of soft and loud melodies. The melody structures were composed of a long note interchangeable with short modified notes. The sound system was unique, similar to the minor system. However, it is dissimilar to Thai music. Musicians were free to improvise during the performance, so it did not have to comply with the minor notes. Percussion did not have a major role in performance but it would follow the melodies produced by the “Yat”.
