الموسيقى السودانية بين التلقين و التدوين و التنفيذ

Abstract EN

During the evolution and implementation phase, since the first use of musical instruments at the end of the 20th century, Sudanese Music has gone through several successive stages, where its role was limited to repeating melody with the singer and its implementation through indoctrination.

Subsequently it moved to chorus stage, then to the stage of musical introductions, through the stage of solo performance using a certain musical instrument during the melodic context, then shifted to the stage of switching between diatonic scales up to the stage of showing interest in musical notation and distribution.

Too much of the credit with regard to this progress goes to the contributions the College of Music and Drama graduates and their significant contributions to this field, in spite of the fact that the establishment of military band preceded that of the civilian ones.

Despite the old conflicts between musicians and scholars who rely on their talent, however we find that the contributions of the pioneering musicians, who relied on the implementation of melody through indoctrination, have enriched our lyrical art field by adding a rich library of Sudanese music offering a wealth of an exquisite lyric art that forms the spirit and sentiments of Sudanese people.

The method or style of memorizing melody and performing it through indoctrination has positive and negative effects during the evolution process of the implementation of Sudanese music.

the positive effect is that it kept for us a set of oral musical and lyrical compositions through the stages of Sudan music history, while the negative impact is that musicology lacks one of its most important components i.e.

systemization, because it relied on memorizing the melody and implementing it through indoctrination, and on the fast picking up skill of the music players.

Due to the above, the original melody could have been lost, or some changes in it could have occur over the time and succession of generations, as a result of the consecutive transmission of the original melody from one music player to another Notation and music implementation of melody is the correct way prevalent in the world's most advanced countries in music, because through notation music will be performed accurately and precisely and the musical work will not be susceptible to loss or change, in this way, it becomes a national wealth for the benefit of all future generations over the years.
