Music from Lost Kingdom: Hue Vietnam

Music from Lost Kingdom: Hue Vietnam

The Court at Hue was the last in a succession of Vietnamese dynasty which preserved the rituals and music that had existed at least since the founding of the Ly dynasty in the 11th century. The Perfume River Traditional Ensemble brought these surprisingly joyful sounds to the United States for the first time; raucous oboes and drums, nasal fiddles, the plaintive monochord, clear, sweet voices, all with their characteristic tone bending. Produced by Dr. Phong T. Nguyen and Dr. Terry E. Miller, two of the world's foremost Vietnamese Music Scholars, in cooperation with the National Council for the Traditional Arts, The Lowell Folk Festival Committee, and Theodore Edson Parker Foundation, and The International Association for Research in Vietnamese Music.
