What is it about?
This article examines a project of bringing together three distinct traditional music cultures practiced in Pattani, Thailand —Traditional Nora, Rong Ngeng and Digir Hulu, and Chinese drums ensemble— into one piece of music. The author used a different way of approach so that it both supports the intercultural work and remains unnoticed for the awareness of the audience. The working process consists of 6 parts:- (1). Introduction. (2). Orchestration. (3). The music: Hoamroang Sam Prasan. (4). Work Phase I: rehearsals. (5). Work Phase II: performance. (6). Conclusion.

Why is it important?
The music, conserved yet contemporary, supports the intercultural work and remains unnoticed for the awareness of the audience. It portrays itself as a new approach among traditional musicians to experience on their own music.
Perspectives
The contributions of the traditional musicians were essential to the piece —the trust, the co-operation, being willing to share different ideas and training among themselves. Aside from knowledge and experiences needed for the work, love and respect of the art is the key to all.
