It aims to analyze and clarify the role of music in the rituals of Mother Goddess worship from the following perspectives: 1/ Exploring the Mother Goddess worship sites at Ha Temple, Thuong Temple, and Y La Temple in Tuyen Quang; 2/ Music in the program of the festivals held at Ha Temple, Thuong Temple, and Y La Temple.
