Abstract

Doctoral Music Composition:  Spirit, Characters & Expression of “Songkhla Sweets” The Suite for Wind Ensemble is the creative and integrated music composition inspired by the 5 typically tasty and colourful sweets namely; Garorji, Mochi, Bok, Doo and Dueansib. The imaginative technique and innovative method are created with a highly crafted design by combining and transforming Western and Eastern cultural arts into a dramatic and unique character. The traditionally melodic motif and the folk rhythmic patterns of ‘Rong-Eng’, the Thai Muslim performing art, has been implemented in exploring an optional music dimension. In the meantime, the sound texture, harmonic progression, orchestration, and etc. were plaving an important role in shaping the entire 7 movements: I Prologue, II Thong Ngam, III Khao Lamun, IV Hom Mai, V Nillakan, VI Bunbucha and VII Finale as a unique Suite outstandingly. The duration of each characterizing movement was approximate 3–6 minutes, and the total performance lasts 30 minutes.
