บทคัดย่อ

The paper titled ‘The Elaborating from Principal Melody for ranat ek Performance” aims to provide Ranat ek beginners with introductory guidelines for elaborating Ranat ek performance from the principal melody (luk khong). It presents methods of modification of principal melodic patterns commonly found in traditional Thai musical compositions into Ranat ek melodic realizations. The melodic elaboration is performed following the kep style, a fundamental technique of melodic variation in Thai classical music. The principles discussed serve as a foundation for further study and as basic guidelines for beginners in melodic elaboration. Examples of Ranat ek elaborations derived from the principal melody (luk khong) are provided to demonstrate practical applications and to support learners in developing their skills in Ranat ek performance and melodic variation.
