Creative Music for Orchestra Score: Rabam Ayutthaya

Abstract

An academic article entitled “Creative music for orchestra score: Rabam Ayutthaya” is a study of creation of contemporary music using Thai traditional instruments integrated with modern musical instruments. This shows a unity of performance art in Thai style performing orchestra and creating beautiful melodies by combining classical Thai music with international one called “temporary music” in various forms. For example, there is a performance of Thai songs using Thai musical instruments along with international musical instruments, such as saxophone, piano and violin, or performing international songs using Thai musical instruments, both Thai string or combining some instruments such as alto xylophone, alto fiddle and flute, resulting in novelty musical aesthetics, a new musical dimension for both musicians and audiences. When bringing the music to the performance, audiences could still enjoy traditional Thai performance as well which would be a music enhancement to the most astonishing.
