Harmony Processing for Thai string Band

Abstract

The Thai string Band has a rather intense tone, clear chime,  together with a soft style. Suitable for performing in a room. The basement is not wide and should have a wall to allow resonance and reverberation in a limited range. The original acoustic Thai string Band used a sound system in the form of a performer or chorus with manual control.

The results showed that Adjusting the Thai string quartet for harmonization has the following guidelines: (1) Determination of objectives and improvisation goals (2) Determination of song structure (3) Determination of band form Number of instruments, scale.As for the study of limitations, it was found that Each Thai string quartet has two types of constraints: (1)the constraints on the instrument's characteristics, i.e. the texture of the instrument's sound. (2) Restrictions on the range of musical instruments that play songs. which is commonly used in the lower vocal group only the Pieng-Or, Java, in some cases other voice groups may be used In general, the notes are mainly used in the two-span range. The creative approach to harmonization begins with the restructuring of the melody, the harmonization of the melody.  Create a 1:1 octave, in which there are 3 types of harmonization that can be set: single, dual, and inter-instrumental variations. The band adjuster must have high audio skills and control the band to develop aesthetics from the past to become more popular in today's society and in the future. This will be good for the development of the Thai music market.
