@tofoodood mahori is a secular form of music. it usually includes stringed instruments and a flut. pinpeat is usually reserved for classical dance, temple music, royal music and does not include stringed instruments. popular instruments in mahori are the takhe, khim, kloy, and tro.

@lchan90a - It makes sense. Thanks.

I'm learning so much from everyone here. Thanks so much for posting these amazing videos, and all the comments surrounding timeless Khmer Classical dance and music.
Luckily, several original members from the "Vong Pleng Preah Reach'troaop"(Classical Ensemble of the Royal Treasury) survived the genocide and devoted their effort to help revive this unique Khmer heritage. I weep every time I watch and listen to these videos.

i dont now. i bet some take pleasure in it. the dance teachers are VERY mean. Especially when they still have the energy.
-
yeah i bet the teachers dont brutally hurt the dance students. i guess its just a warning not to make a mistake again...lol

Neak Menneang Bunnak was the primere dancer allowed to dance for the role of Sita and Moni Mekhala right? I know that the Prima Ballerina was Buppha Devi, though I've never seen her dance Sita or Moni Mekhala.

neak kru em theay is around sixty now, sadly, her house and all she had was lost recently along with manuscripts containing very rare articles to fire.
-
She is very old now so she is retired. Although I've heard stories of her jumping up during rehearsals to hit dancers who are practicing the movements incorrectly (it doesn't hurt of course and it's a sign of caring in the end).
By the way, can anyone explain the difference between pleng mohori and pleng pin peat please?

@tofoodood
i think pleng pin peat is more older and classical, much more in royal use. as for mohori, i think its almost like folk and wedding music. I'm not really sure if I'm giving out the right info though.
