One of the most beautiful contributions of the Khmer Empire to Cambodian cultural heritage is its music. The country’s rich musical heritage supports several ethnic forms of music, but Khmer music is at the center of it all.

The Angkorskaya period saw the peaking of Khmer music. This music was the heart of all temple ceremonies, religious events and weddings. The temples of Angkor pay homage to this beautiful music, with beautifully sculpted figures of the celestial dancers dancing to the music coming from the musical instruments that are vividly depicted on the walls.

Originally Khmer music was not meant for entertaining, but the combined sound that emanates from the instruments was used as a means of communication with God and the spirits.

The structure of the pentatonic or five-tone Khmer music is determined through its rhythm. The main instruments used in an orchestra are a variety of drums, gongs and bamboo xylophones. Khmer music, with different sounds emanating from the different musical instruments may seem to lack coordination and harmony, but it has its own uniqueness that needs to be understood.  Read more...
