Abstract

From the 1860's up to the 1940's, German missionaries under the leadership of Dr. I.L.Nommensen succeeded in converting many of the Batak Toba to Christianity, and along with the Dutch colonial government developed a Western education system in the Batak homeland. Following this, educational improvement among the Batak Toba helped foster the development of Christianity and the Church. As a further development, the Church has extended its reach from matters of personal life to the collective life of the Batak Toba. While introducing new values to the people, the Church seeks to eradicate traditional cultural values that are not in accord with its own, such as the gondang sabangunan and tortor (the ceremonial music and dance of the Batak Toba) and a number of ritual ceremonies. The Church's desire is today reflected in the book Hukum Siasat Gereja, which deals with the norms of Christian social life. Several articles in the book place restrict the musical activity of Christian Batak Toba, especially the performance of gondang sabangunan and tortor in the context of ritual ceremonies. Through an ethno historical approach, this article examines change in the functions and dynamics of gondang sabangunan and tortor performances among the Christian Batak Toba of North Sumatera. The study covers the period between the 1860's and the 1990's. Aside from discussing a number of social and cultural factors that have led to changes in the function of the ceremonial music and dance, several rulings on the performance of gondang sabangunan and tortor in the Hukum Siasat Gereja will also be discussed. The purpose of this last discussion is to show the extend of the Church's influence in the context of this change. The article also provides a discussion on the response of the Christian Batak Toba toward these rulings.

Abstract

Hadrah is a traditional Islamic music performance art that integrates singing in the form of praises and veneration to the Prophet Muhammad SAW with accompaniment from a percussion music ensemble. Percussion instruments such as rebana, bedug, kecrek, and others play the main role in this performance. This research conducted in the city of Medan focuses on analyzing the specific playing techniques used in the hadrah percussion music ensemble, especially the interlocking technique where the rhythmic patterns played by each instrument interlock with one another, creating a distinctive rhythmic complexity that characterizes the hadrah performance art. Hadrah performances are usually held during Islamic religious celebrations such as the Prophet's Birthday, Isra' Mi'raj, religious study gatherings, and other commemorations. The interlocking technique in hadrah percussion music performances shows similarities with the way traditional Indonesian percussion instruments are played. This research employs an ethnographic approach relevant for observing, analyzing, and understanding the interlocking playing technique and the function of hadrah musical instruments within the context of Islamic religious performances and rituals in Indonesia, specifically in the city of Medan. Through direct observation, the researcher aims to capture the essence of the hadrah performance art as an expression of the cultural identity of the Muslim community in the city of Medan.

Abstract

This study explores the diversity of musical genres is a multidimensional phenomenon in the realm of musical arts that reflects the systematic heterogeneity of musical styles, forms, and practices that develop in various cultural, historical, and social contexts. In a theoretical-musical perspective, this diversity is reflected through the differentiation of basic elements of music: such as melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, texture, form, and dynamics that form the idiomatic characteristics of each genre. This study aims to examine the diversity of HKBP church music genres used in performing songs in Sunday services, to examine the choice of musical genres used in church services in HKBP and to examine church policies towards HKBP church music. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach, supported by observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The theories used include the Theory of Music Diversity, the Theory of Cultural Contact and the Theory of Music Management. The results of the study show that the diversity of musical genres has undergone significant changes in the musical structure of each HKBP church, the use of modern instruments, but still maintains traditional elements such as hymn music (organ). The new music style (genre) that was formed was the result of Cultural Contact of HKBP church musicians with the demands of the times, the tastes of musicians or congregations and contemporary performance spaces. The music policy in each HKBP church is different because the musicians in each church are not trained and practices in the field are different, the leadership of the Pastor in the church does not all understand HKBP church music. For musicians accompanying Sunday services in HKBP churches, knowing the many music genres is due to the freedom to appreciate playing music because there is no written HKBP music policy but the policy exists through Oral Tradition. This study contributes to the development of HKBP church music policies that are adaptive to cultural and generational contexts, while preserving the roots of Lutheran liturgical tradition.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the policies of the Huria Kristen Batak Protestan (HKBP) Church regarding congregational singing practices during Sunday worship and to evaluate their implementation in order to identify an ideal model for improving the quality of congregational singing techniques. The primary issue addressed in this research is the prevalence of technical errors in congregational singing, such as inaccurate rhythm, poor intonation, unclear articulation, and uncontrolled vocal dynamics. These errors tend to occur repeatedly and systematically, which is suspected to be the result of oral tradition transmission without structured musical training. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a case study approach conducted in three HKBP church regions in North Sumatra: Tarutung, Pematangsiantar, and Medan. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that although the HKBP possesses a rich legacy of church music, the implementation of policies related to congregational singing training remains uneven and lacks structure. Vocal technique training has not yet become an integral part of church programs, and congregational singing ability is largely shaped by worship habits without adequate pedagogical intervention. Oral tradition plays a significant role but is not sufficiently supported by formal musical approaches. Based on these findings, this study proposes an ideal model for developing congregational singing techniques that incorporates theological, musical, and inculturative aspects—taking into account the characteristics of Batak music and Christian spiritual values. This research is expected to make a meaningful contribution to enhancing the quality of worship in the HKBP context, particularly in the area of congregational singing as an expression of faith and a vital element of liturgy.

Abstract

The public's need for natural medicines that can be consumed practically urges processed spice traders to continue to improve the quality and quantity of products marketed. The problem with traders of bandrek and traditional ingredients is the lack of equipment that supports the quality of the ingredients used as basic ingredients for bandrek and traditional Karo ingredients. Equipment that is very important in this business is a machine for grinding basic ingredients to produce a finer composition of ingredients. Apart from that, the packaging for bandrek products and traditional ingredients is more hygienic and attractive to support the sales appeal and hygiene of the products produced. Based on the existing problems, community service activities provide the necessary equipment in the form of a finer spice grinding machine with a large grinding capacity. Apart from that, there were also 1000 pieces of packaging for bandrek with the LPPM USU logo. The aim of this service is to help traders of bandrek and traditional Karo medicine so that they can improve the quality and marketing of production by providing assistance with flouring tools/machines. The method of socializing product benefits and demonstrating the use of flouring machines is carried out directly to traders of bandrek and traditional Karo medicine. This activity has an impact on increasing traders' awareness to maintain the quality and marketing of bandrek production and Karo traditional medicine through equipment modernization, so that it can provide profits for traders
