The title nods to the Roland TR-808 drum machine, a staple in modern R\u0026amp;B, neo-soul, and hip-hop—genres that intersect uniquely with jazz and Asian influences in the Asian-American pop music scene of SoCal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrade 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Murphy Music Press","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":45041708531791,"sku":"W-1,590","price":163.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":45041708564559,"sku":"W-1,590A","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/0bd72bb3e86b71637221eb91c99d1adf_6fe2d297-c5fe-44af-ab3f-166b88631061.png?v=1774887202"},{"product_id":"charoensri-mothers-lullaby-murphy","title":"Charoensri: Mother's Lullaby","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/kevin-charoensri\"\u003eKevin Charoensri\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eConcert Band\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mother's Lullaby\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrade 3-4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a child, my mother often sang many songs to me around the house. One of the songs that stuck to me, passed down aurally by one of her aunts, was named \"Khmer Sai Yok\"(เขมรไทรโยค): a Thai Traditional song originally composed by His Royal Highness Prince Narisara Nuvadtivongse when King Chulalongkorn visited Saiyok Waterfall, Kanchanaburi Province in 1888.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of my childhood musical influence was based upon these melodies. As a child, I split time between both Thailand and America. However, at around six-years-old, the bulk of my time (about eight months per year) would be spent in the United States. At this young age, my mother's singing became one of the remaining means of access I had to Thailand musically, whenever she sang lullabies and folk songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I started to arrange and compose the accompaniment to the melody, I wanted to bring both my Thai and American influences, while still authentically preserving the melody to the best of my ability using Western instruments. Through this work, I wanted to musically describe my upbringing as a Thai-American through one of the most cherished songs of my childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Murphy Music Press","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":46272570425423,"sku":"W-1,699","price":136.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":46272906788943,"sku":"W-1,699A","price":27.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/d6a11234bc2e67cac04f2bacd5861a28.png?v=1785266533"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/collections\/kevin-charoensri.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
