About this exposition

Name: Worrapat Yansupap   Main Subject: Classical Guitar   Supervisor: Enno Voorhorst   Title of Research: The song of “Charan Manopetch” for classical guitar Research Question: How can we arrange Thai folk music to the classical guitar repertoire by using the song of “Charan Manopetch” and preserve the original characteristics? Summary of Results:  I choose the format exposition. Being a classical guitarist from Thailand, I would like my audience to get aquatinted with the beautiful music from my home country. With this in mind the final result of this study is an arrangement of a famous Thai folksong for classical guitar duo. To have a result that justifies the nature of this music with all of its qualities I needed to research the characteristics of this music, the instruments used as well as the purpose and social context. A challenge was the translating from the sound of the various original instruments to one instrument, the classical guitar. For this, I used the classical techniques but had to find also some unorthodoxy solutions to capture the spirit of my land of birth. As a result of my findings, I plan to conduct a new research study in order to appropriately and internationally promote the Thai folk music.   Biography: Worrapat started playing the guitar when he was nine years old. His first teacher was Samai Tosoongnern. In 2007 he studied electric guitar with Panom Krahan and two years later also with Anucha Patanaratanamole. In 2010 he studied classical guitar with Leon Koudelak at College of Music, Mahidol University. Currently, he studies with Zoran Dukic at Koninklijk Conservatorium (Royal Conservatory) in the Netherlands. Still, he enjoys spending too much time with the electric guitar and enjoys singing in a death metal band. Worrapat has won many prizes such as:  1st prizes at the Thailand International Guitar Festival 2015, the Asia International Guitar Festival 2015, the TGS Guitar Competition 2015, the Pattaya International Guitar Festival 2014 and many more international awards.
