			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I raise these hands up to you, Teacher, guru, of this song,
This melody, sung so long / Ago, before the Bo tree.

In your kind home you taught me / To chant Pali reverently,
Treat books with care, so gently, And to daily humbly pray

To the Three Jewels, our teachers / And all creatures, 'til the day
You and I must fade away, Die and decay, chasing peace.

<a title="Trent_Smot_English_02 by jinja_cambodia, on Flickr" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARGCio7T_dM"><img src="http://jinja.apsara.org/wp-content/themes/mistylook-101/scripts/timthumb.php?src=http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2695/4374071811_40abd8daa3_o.jpg&w=520&zc=0&q=95" alt="Trent_Smot_English_02"   /></a>

Above: <a href="http://jinja.apsara.org/2009/04/im-with-the-band-smot-music-in-long-beach/">Khmer Arts Academy Performance, April 2009</a>.

Last year when Trent Walker's teacher (<a title="Prum Uth" href="http://www.cambodianlivingarts.org/people/prumuth">Prum Uth</a> of <a href="http://www.cambodianlivingarts.org">Cambodian Living Arts</a>) passed away, Trent was moved to write a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARGCio7T_dM">song in English</a>, sung in the meter of Smot chanting.

Smot is sung in Pali and Khmer, and an English approach demonstrates its <em>vernacular utility</em>. (Trent will be the first to admit that he's not the world's premiere Smot singer. However, in terms of innovation, he's demonstrating some really interesting things about how we percieve this art form.)

Commonly, Smot is associated with funerals, but more broadly speaking it's religious music, used for ceremonies, consecrations, healing, gift giving ceremonies and more. Get the full details on <a href="http://ttwalker.blogspot.com">Trent's blog</a>.
