LOOKING BACK TO YOUR LESSON

Music of Cambodia

The music of Cambodia is derived from a combination 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.

Their traditional music has lack of a formal written-system of music theory

that lent to a perception that their ancient music was "incorrect", "out of tune"
or "uncouth" when compared to western music or to Chinese music.
Fortunately, this traditional music was preserved by their government and the
academe. These have worked to organize knowledge of the Cambodian music
system and its distinct traditions.

Cambodian court music is roughly similar to that of Java, Indonesia, while

their art music is highly influenced by ancient forms as well as Hindu forms.

instrument made of 21 blackened
iron bar. It is believed to have
originated from the Royal Courts
before the Angkor period

Kong tauch is a number of gongs

that are attached to a circle-shaped
rack. While Kong thomm (low
pitched circular frame gongs) plays
a melodic line in the Cambodian
pinpeat ensemble almost identical
to that of the roneatthung.
Chhing are bowl-shaped cymbals or
sometimes referred to as metal
clappers.

Samphor is a small
barrel drum that is played with the
use of both hands. The player of
this musical instrument leads the
pinpeat as the setter of the tempo
