CREATIVE WORK, A MUSIC COMPOSITION: GRAND RESONANCE PRELUDE

Abstract

Grand Resonance Prelude was composed for the academic panel discussion TV show “Suvarnabhumi HUB” Episode No. 6 by Suvarnabhumi Studies Center, Thailand Academy of Social Science, Humanities, and Arts (TASSHA) which is an academy under The Ministry of Higher Education, Science Research, and Innovation. The piece was broadcasted via the online channels of the Suvarnabhumi Studies Center. This article presents initial ideas and the background story, instrumentation, and composition techniques used. Also discussed are structural aspects and materials such as pitch and rhythm. The pitch organization generated from a simple Pitch-class Set and the rhythmic organization, which used the simple rhythmic patterns of the bronze drum in China, Vietnam, and Karen people as initial ideas, combined to create motives. These motives can provide possibilities in sounds that present the older than a two-thousand-year history of Suvarnabhumi globalization.
