Carefully researched and crafted videos on Music History and Music Education. I aim to create awareness of these musical treasures that may soon be forgotten by bringing them to the fore through this powerful platform. Be a part of this endeavor, share the videos in this channel to as much audience as you wish.
Tultugan Festival will be competing in this year's Aliwan Fiesta on June 27-29,2024. They will be using an all bamboo musical instruments in their performance. I hope you can all witness the rythmic melodies of bamboo composed by our local musicians 😊
Supongo que en España debería haber más de un constructor que supiese más sobre órganos españoles y su historia que un alemán, y en concreto en Valladolid debe haber documentación sobre Diego Cera.
A really very nice video - informative and well researched. I was particularly surprised by the schematic animation of the windchest and the tracker action and really liked it ... (because it is from me ;-) thanks for sharing this wonderful instrument with us
When I first heard about the Bamboo Organ, I initially thought it was going to be as big as your average church organ. But when I finally saw the Bamboo Organ up close, I was surprised to see how small it actually was. And I somehow expected it to sound just like your usual church organ. But when I heard a sample of it, it was very different.
A fascinating look at a true cultural treasure! As an organist I was delighted to learn of the history of this instrument, which I previously had only heard a mention of. 🎶
Less face-flapping and more playing, please. The interludes between each section were un-graced with totally unrelated "music", an opportunity lost for bamboo pipe sound.
After this full, historical introduction, you may want to hear an 8-minute selection of pieces played by Douglas Lawrence on this organ: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-COa01vUlCkk.htmlsi=WMMr0B5WdrTk8MUe
Would have liked to have heard more samples of this organ's music rather than the completely irrelevant background music the great maority of this video has.
I have Hans Gerd Klais' book about the restoration of this organ. The thoroughness and conscientiousness of the work is astonishing. I finally met Herr Klais in Bonn in 1998, when I gave a concert on an organ built by his grandfather Johanne, and the next day he gave me a grand tour of his factory. The book shows how the factory had to create a special climate-controlled room with the correct high temperature and humidity to protect the organ's components. BTW, Father Diego Cerra was not only the organ builder, but also the architect of Las Piñas church!
Very interesting. Although the section on the bellows is somewhat misleading: the footage is of the reservoir, not bellows. This does not supply the wind pressure, but regulates it so that regardless of what stops are drawn a constant supply of air is provided. The wind is provided by a blower in modern times, or manual bellows before electric motors were common.
Who was the fool who thought a a good idea to have the ghastly background music going all the time? As other here have said, why not let us here the actual organ playing instead of this awful pointless racket. very disappointing .
I’m so glad that Thai traditional music was kept alive to enrich Thailand and the world. We are all currently in danger of losing our cultural heritages to the onslaught of commercial Western pop music!
Fantastic! It has been said that the organ is the equivalent of the moon landing in its complexity. To make this instrument 200 years ago of bamboo is simply amazing!!!
I thougt the same yesterday in another documentation about an organ. There an opportunity was missed as well. It´s like talking about ships, but we use the noise of cars in the background...
The "h" in romanized Thai following consonants is used to denote aspirated sounds and are not pronounced in the same way that they are in English. Piphat is thus pronounced with the first "P" pronounced as a Spanish "P", while the "ph" is pronounced roughly as an English "p". This is why Thai is not pronounced like the word Thigh. So it's Piphat, not pheefat... The end of the absolute monarchy was not the biggest blow to traditional Thai music, it was during the military dictatorship under Field Marshal Plaek Phibulsongkhram that traditional music was legally banned from public performance to "civilize" Thai citizens through modernization (westernization). The Thai film "Overture" tries to capture this dark chapter in Thai music history. Queen Sirikit's (1932-) patronage of Khon and many traditional arts is credited to have kept these traditions afloat. The Suntharaphorn band led by Eua Sunthornsanan also promoted the continued appreciation of Thai music by rearranging several melodies in classical Thai music and playing them in western orchestral instruments with contemporary lyrics. The direction of Thai-Khmer cultural influence is also always a contentious topic, while many cultural aspects were merged in to Siamese society after the fall of the Khmer empire, the Siamese-Cambodian war of the 1590s saw the capture of several tens of thousands of Cambodians including members of the royalty as political hostages, during which it is said that Thai arts also found its way into the royal Cambodian court. I do not recall any reliefs in Angkor reflecting pinpeat as we know it today, but I may be wrong.
No, the gamelan notation does not specify hand parity (left handedness or right handedness). Also the gamelan notation is based on Nongan and Gongan. The kulintang notation is arbitrary
