 LESSON

Music of Myanmar

Schwedago

Myanmar was known as Burma until 1989. The country’s name was officially
changed by the military government that took over in 1988. Early civilization in Myanmar
dates back to the 1st century with archaeological evidences of the Pyu Kingdoms of
Thayekhittaya (Sri Ksetra), Beithano (Visnu), and Hanlin.
The music of Myanmar (or Burma) has similarities with many other musical traditions
in the region, including Chinese music and Thai music, probably because its longest land
border is shared with China.

Hsaing Waing

The Hsaing Waing is Myanmar’s traditional folk music ensemble. It is made up

mainly of different gongs and drums as well as other instruments depending on the nature of
the performance.

Myanmar’s musical instruments are categorized into 2 types, the loud sounding and
soft sounding. The loud sounding instruments are performed in open-air ensembles at
 ceremonies and festivals. Most of the Hsaing Waing instruments belong to the loud sounding
category.

Other instruments in the Hsaing Waing are the:

Hne (a double Kyi waing (small bronze gongs Maung Hsaing (larger bronze
reed pipe) in a circular frame) gongs in a rectangular frame)

Pat waing (a set of 21 drums in Chauk Lon Pat (a set of Siand wa (bell and
a circle ) 8 tuned drums) clapper)

Saung Gauk

For more formal and classical performances that are performed indoors, the ensemble may be
accompanied by the saung gauk the national instrument of (13-string angular harp with soft
sound) Myanmar, the pattala (Burmese xylophone), or the piano and violin, both introduced
during colonial rule.
The body of the saung gauk is made of padauk, the famous Myanmar mahogany, the
flat bar is made of cutch wood, it is covered with the leather of a female deer and the strings
are made of silk.
 Saung Gauk
Myanmar Harp

Myanmar not only has musical ensembles but also an extensive collection of classical
songs called the Mahagita. These songs are divided into different types like the oldest
repertoires, royal court music, songs of longing, horses’ dance songs, worship songs for
Burmese spirits, and songs of sorrow and music adapted from Ayutthaya and the Mon people.
The saung gauk usually accompanies these songs.
