Boasting a rich and many-faceted musical tradition, Tibet enjoys a reputation within Chins as 'the sea of song and dance.' This collection features a representative selection of Tibetan religious pieces. Tibetan religious music may be divided into two groups: music tune for chanting sutra and instrumental music. The former is used when chanting scriptures, and the tunes vary: some are simple; others are like singing songs and the tunes are a little more complex and melodious. The latter is used in religious festivals, rituals, and in the performance of Cham (Devil Dance). The orchestras of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon religion are composed of drums, bells, copper bugles, horns, and tubas.
