Hue Royal Ensemble - King's Favourite Art form
Ca Huế -an traditional and refined musical art form of the former imperial city, was once a sophisticated pleasure reserved for the aristocracy and royalty, especially Emperor Tự Đức, who was famously passionate about this art. The high standards of Ca Huế even extended to limiting the number of listeners at each performance.The rhythm in Hue folk singing (Ca Huế) includes types such as:
- Fundamental Rhythm This rhythm is used by striking the đàn (Vietnamese zither or lute) or coinciding with the lyrics, making the vocals clearer.
- Inner Rhythm: This is often unconventional and used to capture the attention of the music listener.
- Outer Rhythm : Similar to Inner Rhythm is also used to attract the listener's attention. It is unconventional and does not follow the standard of .Fundamental Rhythm
- Bộ ngũ nguyệt tuyệt Tranh (a set of five nguyệt lutes and the Tranh zither).
- Đàn Tỳ (pear-shaped lute), Nhị (two-stringed vertical fiddle), Nguyệt (moon lute), Tam (three-stringed lute).
- Various types of flutes (các bộ sáo).
- Đàn Bầu (monochord zither).
- Bộ gõ trống Huế, sanh loan, sanh tiền (Hue drum set, sanh loan - a small wooden clapper, sanh tiền - a coin clapper).
The saying 'Học chân phương, đàn hoa lá' encapsulates both the rigorous training and the improvisational flair of a Ca Huế artist. After years of diligently learning the fundamental rules, a talented artist can skillfully weave in spontaneous variations during a performance. However, to achieve a smooth and polished execution of these embellishments requires the mastery that comes from many years of accumulated experience.Welcome to Ancient Huế Royal Folk Music Ensemble, where we are proud to offer our guests the most authentic and premium cultural experiences in every detail.
