Vietnam: Court Theatre Music ¿¿¿ Hat-B¿¿i

Overview

Vietnamese court theatre, which dates back to the 14th century, transformed itself into a popular art form during the 19th: performances are given in makeshift surroundings to large audiences. The music to Hat-Boi includes an important role for percussion, along with double-reed, lutes and fiddles. The performers on this reissue of a 1985 album are leading Vietnamese teachers and actors. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
