Traditional music from Burma is melodious, generally without harmony, and usually in 4/4 time (na-yi-se) or 2/4 (wa-let-se) or 8/16 (wa-let-a-myan). Among the eight major ethnic groups in Myanmar, Burmese people have their own music which contains a variety of folk traditions. The traditional folk ensemble, typically used in the nat pwe (festival of the spirits) is called the hsaing waing. Although its origin is unknown, it is believed to have come from the Ayutthaya kingdom, or in the least been heavily influenced by the Ayutthaya gong and drum ensembles in the 18th century through repeated invasions by the Konbaung dynasty and has many similarities to other Southeast Asian ensembles. The music played by hsaing waing during every festival of the spirits is called Nat-doe. Since the institution of the official 37 Nats was founded by King Anawrahta (1044–1077) of Bagan, the first songs of Nat-doe music may have developed during that period. The sounds made by hsaing waing are mostly based on the sounds of nature. For example, pa zin taung pan khat than is the sound based on the flapping of the dragonfly’s wings. The music of Nat-doe is based on the story of how each nat died. Therefore, most of the Nat-doe music is the sound of joy as most of the nats were into gambling and pleasure before they died. Around 90 percent of the nats have their own style of music and most of them are created to make the listener happy or to feel like dancing. The number of singers needed for each music also depends on the nat and index.jpgeach music at least requires a soloist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thxa Soe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
