TSERENTULGA TÜMENBAYAR All the above proves that the tradition inviting deities and ancestors by appeasing them with music and song dated back to ancient times. Another vital work by G. Birwaa is the modern melody called Reciting mantra for 10000 times.” This song of pray includes the recitation of mantras (Skr. mani, Khal. maan’),*° spells (Tib. dmigs brtse ma, Khal. megdsem)*! and incantations (Skt. dharani, Tib. sngags, Khal. tarni)°? melodiously which can make not only the performers, but also the listeners to feel ease, harmony, understanding, care and compassion. B. Mönkhbold’s Activity The tradition was successfully inherited to B. Mönkhbold, the laureate of state prize of Mongolia, who created several works by adapting to the Mongolian morin khuur ensemble and to western chamber music. When creating those works, Mönkhbold used modern music style by considering musical technique, musical composition and sounds. In this sense, his pieces of work truly reach the hearts of the audience. Musicologist M. Mongonsitikh,*? National University of Mongolia, highlighted the Canto for Purification, the work for morin khuur ensemble ... sounds as simultaneous and monotonous™ reciting by several monks according to one general melody, but with various dynamics instead of being performed with various tempos and rhythms. Religious melody requires harmoniously set system of notation, and a fixed form of recitation. Generally, woodwind and percussion instruments have been used in religious rituals. However, the work Canto for Purification is very peculiar because it is a progressive beginning to provide the study of the preservation of Lamiin Gegeen’s melody, as well as its restoration and development, and inheritance with scholarly explanations and interpretations.
