THE KANDYAN MUSICAL

INSTRUMENT

KANDYAN MUSIC

The classical Sinhalese Orchestra consists of five categories of instruments. But, the drum, is the king of local percussions instruments and without it, there will be no dance. The vibrant beat of the rhythm of the drums form the basic of the dance. The dances feet bounce off the floor and they leap and swirl in patterns that reflex the complex rhythms of the drum beat. This drum beat may seem simple on the first hearing but it takes a long time to master the intricate rhythms and variations, which the drummer sometimes can bring to a crescendo of intensity.

There are three types of drums: • one faced • two faced • flat faced

DRUMS

There are five basics drums, and they can be recognized when in use. • Gatabera - The typical Sinhala Dance is identified as the Kandyan dance and this drum is indispensable to this dance. • Yak-bera - This is the demon drum or the, drum used in low country dance in which the dancers wear masks and perform devil dancing, which has become a highly developed form of art.• Dawula - It is a barrel shaped drum, and it was used as a companion drum in the past, to keep strict time with the beat.• Thammattama - A flat, two faced drum. The drummer strikes the drum on the two surfaces on top with sticks, unlike the others where you drum on the sides. This is a companion drum to the afore mentioned Dawula.• Udekki - A small double headed hand drum, used to accompany songs. It is mostly heard in the poetry dances (vannam).

THALAMPATA

Then, the metal percussions is almost always made up of cymbals and "Thalampata" - 2 small cymbals joined together by a string.

The wind section, is. This is not normally used for the dances. This is important because the Sinhalese dance is not set to music as the western world knows it.

NAGASWARAM

FLUTE

The flutes of metal such as silver & brass produce shrill music to accompany Kandyan Dance, while the plaintive strains of music of the reed flute may pierce the air in devil-dancing. The conch-shell (Hakgediya) is another form of a natural instrument, and the player blows it to announce the opening of ceremonies of grandeur.

DRESSES WORN BY KANDYAN

DANCERS

The costumes used by the performers for Kandyan Dance are very striking. Decorative head gear is also worn by the performers during the dance. They also wear silver angles as part of the costume. A Kandyan Dance is generally accompanied by a drum which is known as Geta Beraya. Thalampota or a kind of cymbals is also played to accompany the dance. Originally the Kandyan Dance in Sri Lanka allowed only male dancers to participate. But later different schools also started training women dancers.
