Nhã nhạc
Nhã nhạc is a form of Vietnamese court music. Vietnamese court music is very diverse, but the term nhã nhạc (雅樂, meaning "elegant music" or "ceremonial music") refers specifically to the Vietnamese court music performed from the Trần dynasty of the 13th century to the Nguyễn dynasty at the end of the 20th century.
Nhã Nhạc
Vietnamese court music was performed at annual ceremonies, including anniversaries and religious holidays, as well as special events such as coronations, funerals or official receptions, by highly trained and skilled court musicians. Along with the musicians, a number of intricate court dances also exist (see Traditional Vietnamese dance). Both musicians and dancers wore elaborately designed costumes during their performances.
While the largest foreign influence on nhã nhạc came from the Ming dynasty court of China, later on there were also adapted a few elements from the music of Champa, which the Vietnamese court found intriguing.
Instruments
Instruments commonly used for nhã nhạc include kèn bầu (conical oboe), đàn tỳ bà (pear-shaped lute with four strings), đàn nguyệt (moon-shaped two-string lute), đàn tam (fretless lute with snakeskin-covered body and three strings), đàn nhị (two-stringed vertical fiddle), sáo (also called sáo trúc; a bamboo transverse flute), trống (drum played with sticks), and other percussion instruments.

Stormy clouds are gone away
The sun shines bright today
And I have to say

The kids they come out to play
People singing songs of melody
As they go about their way
The words of the song may some say
[Chorus:]
Everything 's gonna be alright so fine so fine

Everything's gonna be ok
So fine so fine
So come on don't you worry your mind

Hey you
What are you worrying about
What are you turning twisting and starring about
You got love
Then there's none not not worry about
Continuing with your business going about
I want to hear you sing and shout
Don't hold back now
Please let the words come out
I love to see when the birds come out
All those skettels? come out
Singing
