Tibetan ceremonial music is particularly renowned in the West for its two forms of multiphonic singing In both forms, each of the main chantmasters simultaneously intones three notes, thus each individually creating a complete chord. The Tibetans are the only culture on earth that cultivate this most extraordinary vocal ability. The Drepung Loseling monks' performances feature this multiphonic technique and masked dances together with traditional temple instruments such as cymbals, bells, drums, long horn trumpets, and high horns.
