This unique resource makes Vietnamese folk music accessible., January 28, 2005
This review is from: From Rice Paddies and Temple Yards: Traditional Music of Viet Nam (Book & CD) (Paperback)
Rice Paddies and Temple Yards: Traditional Music of Vietnam is a unique resource, a music CD and text book, to make Vietnamese folk music accessible, in a classroom or group teaching setting. Phong Nguyen is a National Heritage fellow with extensive background in traditional Vietnamese music, as a scholar and performer, in the United States and formerly in Vietnam. He feels that music and traditions of older Vietnam villages are being lost, and this resource provides a way to welcome others to some of these experiences.
The CD includes a diverse selection of game songs, love songs, boating songs, poetry and instrumental music (including zither, monochord and drums). The book includes an overview of Vietnamese music, history, musical instruments, a folk tale and detailed lesson plans.
