Abstract

Taur-taur, as a form of vocal art expression of the Simalungun community holding a cultural richness that needs to be preserved. The main focus of this research is on five types of taur-taur, namely Taur taur bahtonang, taur taur simbandar, taur taur Balok ganjang, Taur taur urdo-urdo, and Taur taur tangis-tangis. Each type of taur-taur has unique characteristics whether in terms of melody, lyrics, or social functions within the Simalungun community. Through a qualitative approach, this study finds that taur-taur has distinctive features that set it apart from other forms of folk singing. Musical analysis using Crishty's theory and Merriam's ethnomusicology theory provides a deeper understanding of the vocal techniques and symbolic meanings contained within taur-taur. This research concludes that the preservation of taur-taur is crucial for maintaining Indonesia's cultural diversity. One of the preservation efforts that can be undertaken is to introduce taur-taur to the younger generation through music education.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the existence of Simalungun doding performed with inggou among the younger generation of Simalungun and analyze the factors that influence the continuity of this tradition. Using a qualitative approach, this research examines how Wallace & Srb's adaptation theory can explain the phenomenon. The results show that doding with inggou, as an integral part of Simalungun culture, has an important role in maintaining the identity and social values of the community. However, the existence of this tradition among the younger generation is increasingly diminishing due to the influence of modernization and globalization. The lack of understanding of the values contained in doding and the lack of conservation efforts are the main factors that cause this. This research concludes that strategic efforts are needed to revive the doding tradition with inggou among the younger generation, such as through education, socialization, and innovations that are relevant to the times.
