Musique funèbre à la vièle köni
Original description
en
Recorded in situ: Instrumental music of a funeral song "ddi tok" performed by a monotone fiddle solo "köni". Playing the monochord fiddle "köni" implies that the musician also produces sounds with his voice: a string attached to the string of the instrument is held by his mouth. He hums through gritted teeth. Unpublished sound recordings collected by Jacques Dournes, French missionary and researcher, in Viet Nam in 1964 among the Jörai population: music funeral, different modes of playing aerophones and a phonetic study.

Enregistré en situation: Musique instrumentale d'un chant funèbre " ddi tok " interprété par un solo de vièle monocorde " köni ". Le jeu de la vièle monocorde "köni" implique que le musicien produit également des sons avec sa voix : une ficelle fixée à la corde de l'instrument est retenue par sa bouche. Il chantonne les dents serrées. Enregistrements sonores inédits collectés par Jacques Dournes, missionnaire et chercheur français, au Viet Nam en 1964 auprès de la population jörai : musique funéraire, différents modes de jeu d'aérophones et une étude phonétique.
