Abstract

Some historical information reveals that the art of ensemble playing in Sri Lanka dates back to the Yaksha, Naga, and tribal eras that existed even before the suggested arrival of King Vijaya. Indigenous ensembles can also be described as an art that evolved with the development of humankind in different periods due to various invasions. A large number of ensemble instruments used by the Sri Lankan village artist from then to now are revealed in bibliographical information such as the Mahavamsa, Thupavamsa, Dambadeniya Asna, Kuveni Asna, and Saddharmalankara. These ensembles are divided into five types, mainly, that which is described as the panchathurya, including aathatha, vithatha, vithathaathatha, ghana and sushira, of which sushira is the calibration of blowing instruments that includes the horanewa as well. The horanewa can be introduced as the only swara/ notes instrument used by the Sinhala folk artist of the day among the instruments of the panchathurya. The main purpose of this research is to investigate the technical methods used in the production of this musical instrument called horanewa and its special techniques adopted in playing. Why does the horanewa instrument used at present not produce its own definite melodic sound? In relation to this question that arose, data were collected, analyzed and interpreted and conclusions were reached. As revealed in this descriptive research, the horanewa is a special musical instrument built with the technology of three traditional manufacturers. This research will be important to introduce and preserve the arts related to this musical instrument which is gradually dying out.

探索斯里兰卡传统乐器Horanewa的音乐遗产
一些历史资料显示,斯里兰卡的合奏艺术可以追溯到Yaksha, Naga和部落时代,甚至在Vijaya国王到来之前就存在了。土著合奏也可以被描述为一种艺术,随着人类在不同时期的发展,由于各种入侵而演变。从那时到现在,斯里兰卡乡村艺术家使用的大量合奏乐器在诸如Mahavamsa, Thupavamsa, Dambadeniya Asna, Kuveni Asna和Saddharmalankara等书目信息中得到了揭示。这些合奏主要分为五种,被称为panchathurya,包括aathatha, vithatha, vithathatha, ghana和sushira, sushira是吹乐器的校准包括horanewa。horanewa可以作为当时僧伽罗民间艺术家在panchathurya乐器中唯一使用的swara/音符乐器。本研究的主要目的是调查这种乐器的生产技术方法和它在演奏中采用的特殊技术。为什么目前使用的horanewa乐器不能发出自己明确的旋律声音?关于所产生的这个问题,收集、分析和解释了数据,并得出了结论。在这个描述性研究中,horanewa是一种特殊的乐器,由三个传统制造商的技术制造而成。这项研究对于介绍和保存与这种逐渐消亡的乐器有关的艺术具有重要意义。
