Musics of Vietnam
Ex-library copy with the usual stamps and markings. Interior pages clean and unmarked; tight binding. 161pages. Pham Duy begins with a discussion of the four main groups of Vietnam: the Troung Son tribes, the North Vietnamese of the highlands, the descendants of the Champa tribes, and the South Vietnamese. He describes various musical instruments unique to certain regions, such as the bamboo xylophone called "dan to rung," the bamboo sound box called "the Roding," the calabash-shell-and -bamboo mouth organ called "Nboat," and many others. He then explains the musical structure indigenous to each region and its distinctive song types.
