Abstract:

The creation of the musical suite "Deung Bob Thow" is an artistic exploration that embodies the distinct identity of Mon music, which has played a significant role in cultural preservation through generations. This creation investigates the historical background of the Mon ethnicity, analyzes the unique characteristics of Mon musical expressions, and develops a musical composition that integrates traditional Mon and Thai elements. Using the Mon Piphat ensemble as the primary instrumentation, the composition employs melodic and rhythmic structures characteristic of Mon music while incorporating contemporary adaptations in vocal and Instrumentation instrumental techniques. The methodology consists of document analysis, field studies, and creative experimentation. The finding results demonstrate the potential of musical creativity in sustaining and revitalizing Mon cultural heritage through innovative compositional approaches. The implications of this work extend to the broader field of ethnomusicology and cultural preservation, providing a foundation for future interdisciplinary studies in music and the performing arts.
