Potential Note Degree of Khong Wong Yai Based on Rhyme Structure and Pillar Tone as a Novel Approach for Musical Analysis Using Multivariate Statistics: A Case Study of the Composition Sadhukarn from Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia

Diverse multivariate statistics are powerful tools for musical analysis. A recent study identified relationships among different versions of the composition Sadhukarn from Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and cluster analysis. However, the datasets used f...

description Diverse multivariate statistics are powerful tools for musical analysis. A recent study identified relationships among different versions of the composition Sadhukarn from Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and cluster analysis. However, the datasets used for NMDS and cluster analysis require musical knowledge and complicated manual conversion of notations. This work aims to (i) evaluate a novel approach based on multivariate statistics of potential note degree of rhyme structure and pillar tone (Look Tok) for musical analysis of the 26 versions of the composition Sadhukarn from Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia; (ii) compare the multivariate results obtained by this novel approach and with the datasets from the published method using manual conversion; and (iii) investigate the impact of normalization on the results obtained by this new method. The result shows that the novel approach established in this study successfully identifies the 26 Sadhukarn versions according to their countries of origin. The results obtained by the novel approach of the full version were comparable to those obtained by the manual conversion approach. The normalization process causes the loss of identity and uniqueness. In conclusion, the novel approach based on the full version can be considered as a useful alternative approach for musical analysis based on multivariate statistics. In addition, it can be applied for other music genres, forms, and styles, as well as other musical instruments.
