The Doctoral Music Composition: “The King of Thailand,” the Symphony Orchestra Work Tribute to the Great King
Abstract
"The composition, "The King of Thailand", is the doctoral symphonic composition which tells of the long lasting impression of the composer about King Bhumibhol Adulyadej, the present King of Thailand. The program music aims to conjure in the listener's mind the image of the great king, who loves his subjects dearly and who has worked tirelessly for the happiness and better life of all Thai people. More importantly, he is truly regarded as the spirit of the whole nation. The Symphonic piece with the duration of approximately 30 minutes. is consisted of 4 unique movements which are; 1) In The Heart of Every Thai 2) Reigning in Righteousness 3) Under his Graciousness, and 4) Long Live The King.
The main themes are inspired by traditional Thai melodic variations whereby the heterophony approach has been well crafted moving independently within the Western musical form. The unique characteristically principle of this contemporary musical style is the blending technique of the Thai musical culture to the Western music instrumental idiom.
