Abstract
The creative and developmental research aimed to study on the innovation of harmonic soundscape of the tonal theory in order to implement the new approach of method using ‘Rajabhat Rajapakdi’ theme as the experimental model. The newly applied harmony, instrumental arrangement, and the sophisticated sound design technology were the key factors to enhance the musical value and aesthetic sense of appreciation. In addition, the perfectly well crafted versions of the music was presented as the concerts and the creative music documentary form such as CD, DVD. Meanwhile, the music was implemented by the innovated and splendid technique, stylistic interpretation, as well as the kaleidoscope of imaginative soundscape. The advance technology showed it’s highly efficiency performance in minimizing of man power and financial economy. The rich sound resonance of the ‘Rajabhat Rajapakdi’ tune was arranged to accommodate small numbers of musical instruments, musicians and singers whereby it still maintained, quality of the orchestra.

It is very interesting research. Do you have an idea of how this creative music research and development be used for the benefit of the audiene. Can this idea related to music therapy? If so, can you share your idea and opiniion? Thank you.
The development of this song focused on conservatory of the original beautiful song that was rarely performed since it required extensive resources, i. e., instrument, chorus and big stage. The public will have less access to enjoy the wonderful theme song. This recreated version will increase the production and audience accessibility.
Although it was not focused, the development of this song used the same rhythmic as guideline in music therapy. In general, music therapy always uses the rhythm that equal to normal heart beat (estimate 70 time/ sec). The rhythm of this song is also “70” to engage the audience to aesthetic sense of appreciation in music through rhythmic functionality.
Very good question, thank you for asking.
