Quan Ho folk song
Quan Ho folk
song formed quite long ago by Viet people (Kinh people) in 49 Quan
Ho villages and some other neighboring villages belong to Bac Giang
and Bac Ninh province now created.
Quan Ho singing is a Vietnamese folk music style characterized both
by its antiphonal nature, with alternating groups of female and male
singers issuing musical challenges and responses, and by the fact
that most of the songs in the repertoire deal with topics of love
and sentimentality experienced by young adults.
The Quan Ho singing style originated in what is now Bac Ninh
Province and was first recorded in the 13th century, and has
traditionally been associated with the spring festivals that follow
the celebration of Tet (the Vietnamese New Year). Historically, the
singing began on the evening before the festival, but today it is
much more common for the singing to occur on the main day of the
festival.
According to the tradition, only young people used to sing Quan Ho
songs, as the major body of song texts centers on the subject of
love and sentimental desire among young adults. Nowadays, many
elderly singers participate in the singing as well in response to
the Quan Ho movement initiated by the provincial government.
Originally, Quan Ho singing were exchange songs between two
mandarins' families. Gradually, it spread out and became popular
among the northern people. Groups were formed just for singing, and
many marriages were formed at these get-together. After centuries,
it became the most significant Vietnamese folk-song type
In general, an initial "challenge phrase" from the known body of
songs is sung by a pair of female singers, following which a pair of
male singers will respond by selecting and singing a "matching
phrase", which must repeat the melody of the challenge phrase. Once
they are finished, the order is reversed, and the men will issue
their own challenge phrase with a different melody. While in the
past the singing was unaccompanied, it is common today for the
singers to be accompanied by instruments, whether traditional
Vietnamese instruments or modern ones such as electric keyboards.
There are a huge number of Quan Ho singing melodies, with thousands
of different songs having been recorded and written down in score
form.
On 30/09/2009, Quan Ho singing was recognised as the Intangible
Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO
