It
is the first intangible heritage of Vietnam to
be recognized by UNESCO.
According to UNESCO Council’s evaluation,
“Vietnam’s royal court music has the meaning of
‘refined music’. It mentions Vietnam’s court
music which is performed at annual festivals,
celebrations and special events, such as the
enthronement ceremonies, funeral ceremonies or
official receiving ceremonies. Among various
kinds of music developed in Vietnam, only nha
nhac is considered the national music”.
For this reason, Nha nhac was recognized by
UNESCO as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and
Intangible Heritage of Humanity” in 2003.
