Sacred chanting and its accompanying instrumental music are vital elements of Tibetan ritual practice, performed in the context of consecration or empowerment ceremonies and rites of spiritual attainment, including communal offerings, protector liturgies and masked dances. This music is traditionally included among the arts, which constitute one of the five major fields of classical Indo-Tibetan learning, but its theoretical basis has rarely been explored. Sakya Pandita's Treatise on Music by Ricardo Canzio is that exploration.
