The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians has only a few sentences on the subject of Vietnamese gong music. There are recordings of other varieties of traditional Vietnamese music available on CDs in the West where one can hear examples of music featuring the crossed d signàn tranh (the sixteen-string zither), the crossed d signàn t'rung (the bamboo xylophone), the tam thâcombining dot belowp lucombining dot belowe (the thirty-six-string hammered zither), the crossed d signàn bầu (the Vietnamese monochord), the nguyêcombining dot belowt cầm (the moon-shaped lute), and the sáo (the bamboo flute), as well as other less familiar musical instruments such as the pang gu lug u Hmông (a slide whistle), and the leaf of the blông tree, but few of these recordings include gong music. Exceptions are the CD compilations Gongs Vietnam - Laos (Playasound), Vietnamese Folkmusic 1 (Vietnam Musicology Institute), Stilling Time: Traditional Musics of Vietnam (Innova, also available as a download from www.innova.mu), Music from Vietnam 3: Ethnic Minorities (Caprice Records), and Vietnam: Musiques des montagnards (CNR)

The Gongs Vietnam - Laos CD has recordings of performance styles from different ethnic communities for similar ritual ceremonies. The disk has music to celebrate the inauguration of a new house from the Mnong Rlâm, Ê crossed D signê, and Ba Na groups, for example, buffalo sacrifice music from the Ba Na and Jörai Hrap, and funeral music from Jörai Hrap, Thái, Ba Na, and Mnong Rlâm villages. In addition, the CD has four separate recordings of performances addressed to the spirit of the communal house by Ba Na players. One can also hear music to summon spirits and to mark the departure of the deceased soul from the grave for the spirit world from the Jörai Hrap, and Gié-Triêng music to celebrate the new year and the end of the harvest

For a discussion of performative utterances, see J. L. Austin, How to Do Things with Words (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1962). For an example of performative gong music, listen to the Ê crossed D signê "Welcome Music" on Stilling Time, track 1; six male gong players and a drummer play energetic rhythmic patterns with improvisations while the head woman of the village shares a ceremonial cup of wine with the visitors. Listen also to the Ê crossed D signê welcome music on track 11 of Gongs Vietnam - Laos
