 MUSIC OF MYANMAR
Myanmar was known as Burma until 1989. The country’s name was
officially changed by the military government that took over in 1988. Early
civilization in Myanmar dates back to the 1 st century with archaeological
evidences of the Pyu Kingdoms of Thayekhittaya (sri Ksetra), Beithano
(Visnu), and Hanlin. The music of Myanmar has similarities with many other
musical traditions in the region including Chinese and Thai music probably
because it’s the longest land border is shared with China.
HSAING WAING is Myanmar’S traditional folk music ensemble. It is
made up mainly of different gongs and drums as well as other instruments
depending on the nature of performance.
Two types of Myanmar’s musical instruments:

 Loud sounding
 Soft sounding

For more formal and classical performances that are performed
indoors, the ensemble may be accompanied by the SAUNG GAUK (13 string
angular harp with soft sound) the national instrument of Myanmar, the
PATTALA (Burmese Xylophone), or the piano and violin, both introduced
during colonial rule.
