Hue music and song
By the end of the 19th century, it was popularized
and ditties were added along with other folk songs of the Binh Tri Thien
people. With this foundation, the music and songs of Hue are a combination of
folk and royal music.
The musical characteristics of Hue music and song
have developed considerably, and musicians can play all the styles common to
musical instruments, including solos, duets, trios, etc. Apart from that, there
is also a pair of "Senh" and sometimes there is flute accompaniment.
In the latter half of the 20th century, Hue music was professionally
performed in public spaces to make a landmark out of a new traditional style of
Vietnamese performance art.
Hue music and songs bear a unique feature of
characterizing the lives of people living in the central regions of Vietnam. In
fact, Hue music is a combination of musical factors from various groups such as
the Viet, Cham, Chinese, and others.
