PREFACE Thai classical music is one of our most invaluable cultural resources that show how advanced our musical arts, cultures, and traditions are. Throughout the long history, it has been accumulated and inherited from generations to generations. Pay Homage to Teacher Ceremony is a significant custom and cultural tradition for it is the walk of life of every Thai classical musician.

Thai classical music has been practiced in Chulalongkorn University for over 40 years. The Thai classical Music club and curricular courses have produced graduates in Thai Classical Music from the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts and the Faculty of Music Education. In addition, the university has established a Thai classical music band publicly known as çChula-Wathité. This outcome has stayed true to its mission in preserving, developing, and promoting Thai classical music to societies and those interested. And this is the origin of the universityûs annual Thai Classical Music Pay Homage to Teacher Ceremony which is opened to students and staff in Thai classical music profession including those interested to participate. The ceremony has been held at Thai house, Chulalongkorn Universityûs since 1988 (2531 B.E.). For this year 2012, since the Thai house is under renovation and the university has built and opened the new concert hall at Art & Culture Building, it is the utmost proper occasion to hold the ceremony to pay homage to all the teachers and the deities of Thai Classical Music.

In addition, during the preparation of the manuscripts of the memorial book for 2012 Pay Homange to Teacher Ceremony , the Office of Arts and Culture regards that the book çThe Wai Kru Ceremony in Thai Classical Musicé, published by the Office of the National Culture Commission in occasion of Thailand-Cambodia Music Seminar , 9-10 August 1994 (B.E. 2537), contains thoroughly written articles on Wai Kru Ceremony (Pay Homage to Teacher Ceremony) by Mr. Montree Tramote, the National Artist, Thai music experts, and his heir. In this edition, English translation is provided in the book and we hope that it should be useful to distribute an information on Thai classical music further to an international audience. Therefore, the office has requested to include the articles in this memorial book as well as the articles by Dr. Sirichaicharn Fachamroon, Universityûs artist and Ajarn Boonchuai Sowat, Universityûs Thai classical music expert. It is hoped that the memorial book of the Annual Pay Homage to Teacher Ceremony 2012 would be useful and served as a significant reference for Thai classical music scholars and alike.

REMARKS The Wai Khru ceremony in Thai classical music is designed to register the history, the preparation and the proceeding of the custom of paying homage to the Thai classical music according to the tradition of the Fine Arts Department with only myself or the teacher appointed by myself as the presiding teacher of the ceremonies. I am most pleased to learn that the Office of the National Culture Commission has published this book since it will be of uses to those who wish to learn and organize the Wai Khru ceremonies in the right direction.

However, the presiding teacher of the ceremonies must be designated by the teacher in the same line as myself. If not, different teachers will vary the order in which the ceremonies are conducted. As such, in organizing the Wai Khru ceremonies, it is essential to know what the appropriate practice is according to the invited presiding teacher.

The rite of paying homage to the teachers or wai khru ceremonies are performed to a greater or lesser degree, by all Thais as it is characteristic for them to be gratitude to their benefactors. In Thai schools, paying homage is a way in which students can show respect to their teachers and thank them for what they have learned in the past. It is also a form of insurance for what they hope to learn in the future.

The grateful action can be expressed in different forms either a financial support or work assistance in accordance with status and opportunity. Citation of the teachersû outstanding contribution and transferring of the merit earning to the late teacher are also included in the long list of paying gratitude to the teachers.

In many cases, the ceremonies are no more elaborate than the rite of paying homage to art teachers which also extents to the deities who encourage branches of art and learning. Each ceremony to teachers of certain branch of art and learning has its own mass. At this juncture, only wai khru ceremonies for the musical teachers are mentioned.

Paying respect to the musical teachers may be performed everyday at bedtime while praying to the Triple Gems.

Yet, with offerings and the Grand Guru of classical music to call out the names of the gods and men to be worshipped at the official wai khru ceremonies, only on Thursday that the function can take place as Thursday god, Phra Pharue hassabodhi, is considered the traditional Teachers day upon which most rites are held. In any residence with a professional Pi Paat ensemble, a performance of the wai khru ceremonies can mainfest itself annually.

The amateur ensemble attached to institutions such as universities or banks may choose to perform the ceremonies as deemed appropriate. As for those who start to learn classical music, the concise wai khru rite can be organized to observe the rules and regulations and dedicate services to the deities. The annual wai khru ceremonies are customarily performed in a grand scale.

The custom and rite of paying homage to musical teachers may derive from the animistic beliefs from time immorial. Influenced by Brahmanism from India, along with the introduction of musical order in Mainland Southeast Asia.

The so-called ceremonies have been transmitted through generations.

from India since the names of the deities remain the same as denoted in the textbook of Brahmanism. However, this must have followed the ancient textbook of a sect of Brahmanism in which (Phra Phrom) (Brahma) has disappeared. For in the invocations to gods, only Phra Isuan (Isvara) and Phra Narai (Narayana) together with other deities, are mentioned.

As the Thais are mostly Buddhists, the wai khru ceremonies conventionally begin with the Buddhist rite. In the evening of Wednesday, monks are invited to chant prayers. The morning of Thrusday ordinarily starts with an offering of food to monks and blessings by monks before furthering to the actual wai khru ceremonies. Nevertheless, this Buddhist rite can be omitted if it is inconvenient. A place to perform the ceremonies should be large enough for all the disciples and participants to be seated.

A Buddhist altar with offerings is put on one side and on the other side is a set of musical instruments placed in an orderly manner. The tapone (bulging drum) is positioned in a higher place as it represents Phra Porakhontap (God of Drums). Khon Masks representing the gods may also be present.

participants are also lighting their candles and incense sticks to invite the Triple Gems and deities to bestow the blessings according to their wishes. The officiating teacher leads the invocations for the blessings of the Triple Gems, teachers and parents. Different presiding teachers will vary the words. The musicians are then instructed to play Na Paat, a piece of music reserved for the most formal occasions for the purpose of worshipping the Triple Gems and to confirm deep respect to teachers. The presiding teacher later raises the food offerings for a while before removing them. Afterwards, the presiding teacher sprinkles lustral water and applies jerm (a white paste) to musical instruments and different teachersû heads. Lustral water is of course sprinkled over and a white paste is also applied to the followers and participants. With that action, the rite of wai khru is concluded to bring in the rite of Piti Krob or initiation rite.

Krob means initiation of knowledge in a certain branch. The Piti Krob rite is varied in accordance with branches of art.

As for the Thai classical music, Pi Paat (woodwind and percussion instruments) are considered fundamental to all music.

As such, all musical instruments (oboe, gong, xylophone, drum and cymbol) are used in the Piti Krob rite.

The presiding teacher receives the offerings composed of candles, incense sticks and a six baht fee from a pupil and hold his hands guiding him to play Gong Wong Yai (big circle of gong) the first stanza of one tune thrice of Satukarn song, master tunes to pay homage to the Triple Gems and to express deep respect to teachers.

3. The third stage begins with Home Rong Klang one song. Again, the teacher holds the pupilûs hands to play Krabong Gun song.

4. The next stage is to play higher Na Paat. The teacher generally holds the pupilûs hands to play the Baht Sakuni song.

5. The final stage is the highest stage while learning the supreme song of all-Phra Phirabûs song.

6

The pupil will customarily resume the rest of the songs with somebody else.

The above-mentioned practice can be applied to other musical instruments as ranad (xylophone) Pi (oboe) Tapone and Klong (drums) As for the Piti Krob rite of other kinds of instruments i.e. Saw (fiddle), Jakay (zither) and Klui (flute) including singing, actually not for Na Paat playing, the teacher can also hold the hands of the pupil to play the special tune of that type of instrument. Otherwise, cymbols may be placed on the head of the pupil to symbolize the initiation rite.

As a rule, the Piti Krob rite for those who learn Phra Phirabรปs song must be at least 30 years old or have already been ordained or granted. His Majesty the Kingรปs royal permission to play.

Advantages of paying homage to the musical teachers 1) Preservation of good old tradition of Thai culture.

2) An opportunity for the pupils to pay respect and gratitude to their teachers which represents an examplary expression of being grateful to the teachers.

3) An act of boosting a morale of the pupils to play well their music.

4) Strengthening warmth, companionship and a sense of togetherness as well as compassion.

The wai khru ceremonies take place on Thursday as it is traditionally the Teachers day. Most ceremonies of the Buddhist Thais almost always include the Buddhist rite.

On the eve of the ceremonial day, monks are invited to chant prayers. The ceremonial Thursday starts with the making merit by offering food to monks, followed by the wai khru ceremonies.

Section 1 Buddhist Rite In organizing the Wai khru ceremonies with the Buddhist rite, a layman to invite the monks must be identified so that the invitation usually of nine (9) monks can be done as early as possible. Of course, when the ceremonial day is drawing close, this invitation needs to be confirmed.

PHRA VISSUKAM Phra Vissukam can be called Phra Vissavakam, Phra Visnukam, Phra Pitsnukam or Phra Petcharachalukam. However, the names are less important than the faith dedicated to the musical god. A bald god painted with golden flower pattern, Phra Vissukarm has a green body with one face and two (2) arms. In the Book of Musical Gods written by Maestro Montri Tramote, Phra Vissukam is the master engineer of all the divine beings. He is a great creator of all skilful works such as sketching, moulding, casting and culturing. In the dramatic text book, after Rishi Bharatamuni had received Brahmaûs orders to set going the theatricals, he requested Vissukam to create three sizes of theatres - a rectangle large size, a square medium size and a triangle small size.

Legend has it that human beings both children and adult in those days used vulgar language in singing and playing while behaving eccentrically. With the heavenly command given by God Indra. Vissukam disguised himself as an old man instructing the children and the adults to learn how to sing and play in an orderly manner.

After his return to heaven, human beings hold on to the pattern created by Vissukam as basis to all.

In addition, he creates the right kind of musical instruments producing melodious sounds as mentioned in the invacation çTaan Prasidh Sap Sarné. All the musical artists honour him as another musical god.

Below the teachersû heads, the portraits of the late teachers and musical instruments should be placed harmoniously. It is not necessary that the musical instruments be set in the order of a real ensemble. A passage among the instruments should be available for a jerm (a white pasto) application.

A little bit lower than the musical instruments, a set of offerings is placed. Lowest of all is the seat of the presiding teacher.

It is not necessary for those who only participate in the wai khru ceremonies to prepare Piti Krob items (a bowl of flowers, 30

incense sticks and a six baht token contribution). They merely receive lustral water and a while paste being applied to their forehead and flowers (silver leaf, golden leaf, silver and gold leaf and Bermuda grass) to be placed behind one ear. The next period is dedicated to those who submit themselves to the Rite of Piti Krob. This rite varies according to the instruments that the pupils wish to learn.

Through my experience in learning and teaching Thai classical music, I believe there is something that is vital and it should be explained clearly to students, parents, and teachers as follows; 1) Kamnub Khru Ceremony. This is a tradition passed down from ancient times.

The students must prepare presents consisting of a white washing bowl (not so big as bath bowl and not so small as drinking tumbler), a white handkership, flowers, candle and joss stick, and 6 Thai Baht, to offer to the teacher and ask the teacher to take them in as his/her students. Then the teacher will bless the students success and prosperity.

2) Bucha Khru Ceremony. This ceremony can be conducted in many scenarios as appropriate and depending on the intention of the organizer for example, educational institute, a music club, an

education association, an individual artist.

The teachers may hold the ceremony to raise faith among the students and encourage them to learn. A ceremony is held as yearly tradition. The organizer must prepare the oblation, Kra-ya-buach** (Usually only well-cooked), including pig heads, rice offering, ducks, chicken, fish, desserts, young coconut, banana, betel nut and betel leaves, cigarette, fruit, etc. The teacher will be the master of the ceremony and lead the participants in ceremonial pledge for luck.

3) Wai Khru Ceremony. This ceremony is considered a grand ceremony that musicians hold every year for several purposes as stated in many books concerning the ceremony. However the event is aimed at inheriting Thai culture, fostering harmony, expressing gratitude toward teachers, as well as exhibiting the uniqueness of Thai Traditional music as part of national security.

Nowadays, there is a misconception that head covering ritual must be performed at every wai khru ceremony. This is a misunderstanding because attending the ceremony and receiving holy water, and blessing by receiving marks on the forehead is sufficiently auspicious in itself. In addition the ceremony has been wrongly referred to as çKrob-krué (çCovering the Teacheré), of which the origin is unknown. The name gives away the opposite meaning of the actual ceremony in which the students are the ones receiving the covering and blessing from the teachers.

5) Rabmob Ceremony This is the ceremony for students who have mastered the arts to the level that they can teach others.

The teachers would grant and endow (Pra-sit-thi in Pali and Thai language) permission to become teachers and qualified to teach others. In the old days, teachers would grant permission to some students whom they perceived as qualified and righteous to become teachers only.

Nowadays, the curriculum and regulations of special program institution make it compulsary that teachers grant the teaching permission to all the students who manage to graduate (given that many of which may fail to be qualified for several reasons as in terms of knowledge, ability, capability, skills, especially in terms of behavior and ethics.)

Nowadays, people give priority to things that are necessary in social development. Therefore art seems to be of lesser priority in the process while in essence art makes people in society fulfilled with moral values. Though there are works that directly deal with ethics, for human beings who are still under greed, anger, and obsession, it is not so easy to proceed toward virtue.
