| Quote: | | I was very pleasantly SPAMised at the crystal clarity of this collection, recorded and digitally mastered in London some years ago. The alternating instrumental and vocal selections demonstrate several styles of the haunting and folksy style of music which has always attracted any foreign student of the Thai and Lao languages. The only thing more that I could have hoped for would have been the accompanying verse written in Lao. What a great language learning tool that would be! This is difficult and time-consuming material for most foreigners to study strictly by ear. While the accompanying brochure notes that the words are traditionally written down for the record, I have never been able to find any such thing. Understandably not included in this collection are the many rather "racy" versions of Mo-Lam songs [like Mao-Lam Khen Dao Lao's unforgettable Teng Sanghan Saow] from the era when the American military presence in Northeastern Thailand was a sometimes troubling but mostly well-tolerated aspect of life for the natives of the Northeast. None of that quaint and humorous social commentary has yet been made available to the foreign public. Anyone who ever stayed late into the night at the Mo-Lam shows at the "Thung Sri Muang" in the heart of Ubon knows what a treasure that work is. |

| Quote: | | In the past many Portuguese, mainly from the islands of Madeira and the Azores left their homeland and travelled to Hawai‘i, in seach of a better future. A part of the Portuguese traditions are kept alive in Hawai‘i by descendants of the Portuguese immigrants. A traditional festival which still lives both in Hawai‘i and in the Azores is the Holy Ghost Festival. Nowadays there are not many people left who still speak the Portuguese language and a lot of traditions have disappeared. Whereas immigrants from Madeira introduced the predecessor of the ‘ukulele in the past, the Hawaiian Portuguese themselves nowadays prefer to play the piano or some other keyboard. The CD presents a mixture of styles: remnants of Portuguese traditions in Hawai‘i, but also examples of authentic forms that still live on in the Azores and on the island of Madeira. The CD also contains a few beautiful examples of the Portuguese influence on the local music of Hawai‘i and other islands in the Pacific. |
| Quote: | | The CD covers the story of the Portuguese in Hawai'i: their origins, what is left of their culture in their new homeland and the impact they have had on the culture of Hawai'i and neighbouring island groups in the South Pacific. The CD is a rather unusual mixture of music from the Azores, Madeira, continental Portugal, Portuguese immigrants in Hawai'i and of Hawaiian music. |

Cambodian Royal Ballet
Cambodge - Les Musiques du Ramayana, Vol.2
Ocora C 560015, 1990
1-4. Reamker (Ballet) - Khmer Ramayana
Performed by the choir and orchestra of the Cambodian Royal Ballet, Paris 1964
| Quote: | | A Ramayana performance accompanied by the pinpeat, an orchestra of melodic percussion instruments. |
| Quote: | This archive recording of the Institut National de l'Audiovisuel (Paris) was made during a week of performances in the Théâtre Sarah Bernhard de Paris, 27th June 1964, which followed the French visit of the Cambodian chief of state in 1964. Faithful to tradition, H.M. Prince Norodom Sihanouk would never go anywhere without his corps de ballet, just as in 1911 the arrival of King Sisowath, with a hundred or so dancers, had been so sensational.
The Royal Ballet, in the great Angkorian tradition (10th-13th century), perpetuated a style of dance and a repertoire that reached their peak at the end of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th.
'Reamker' ballet music is not specifically set down. The same applies to all court ballets. Different musical themes forming part of a traditional repertoire are associated with certain types of scene (love, sadness, voyaging, battle...) or character, and accompany different ballet plots, themes being chosen and assembled according to the action. This type of music is not at all descriptive and is considered "pure music". In the 'Reamker', the choir sing specific texts in verse which are mimed in a stylised manner by the dancers. Only the Royal Ballet has such a female choir.
The 'Reamker' orchesta is the 'pinpeat', well-known in Cambodia and used for the Royal ballet and also for religious music in monasteries. Its formation is two xylophones (roneat ek and roneat thung, resprectively high and low registers), a metallophone (roneat dek), two large drums (skor thom), a two-skinned drum (sampho), small cymbals (ching) and an oboe (sralay). It also includes circular sets of little horizontal gongs (kong touch, the high ones, and kong thom, the low), characteristic of Khmer music and to be found in every main centre of the culture from Thailand to Laos.
Khmer music obviously belongs more to the family of South-East Asian melodic percussion music than to Indian music. The product of a long evolution, begun around the 9th century (at which time appeared its fundamental characteristics), it borrows instruments from the Indonesian peninsula and uses local musical systems. Unlike Indian modal music, instrumental Khmer music does not put melodic subtlety above all else: simple, pentatonic melodies are formed belonging to a scale of seven, almost equal, intervals. Nevertheless, juxtapositioning of orchestral and choral parts is a highly refined art. - Catherine Basset |
