Abstract

The selection of repertoire on a musical ensemble is quite important, especially in the context of rehearsal in the non-professional string ensemble community. It is very common if there is a diversity of skill levels in each member. Such diversity will usually be a common obstacle when it comes to determining a shared repertoire. An overly difficult repertoire (advance) will be difficult for some members otherwise an easy one will create a bored atmosphere for members who are already proficient. Even the role of unbalanced work will make some members may struggle while others will become bored so that the rehearsal atmosphere is not conducive. The author observed that there is an interesting repertoire that is often used as an ensemble rehearsal material in the bowed string’s formation, namely Brandenburg Concerto no. III BWV 1048 Part III in G Major by Johan Sebastian Bach for 3 violins, 3 violas, 3 cellos and 1 double bass. This work is often used as an alternative work together in the community environment of string orchestras in Bandung, and based on the observation of the author of this work is often used in several workshops and ensemble learning materials, with a relatively balanced role, this complex-sounding work has techniques and finger positions that can still be reached by players in the skill range level 3-5 ABRSM. The authors collected data through observations, interviews and documentation on Unpas Music Study Program students who had played this work. After being described and analyzed, the authors found that this work had a significant role in improving ensemble skills playing in string ensembles that would indirectly also improve their individual skills especially for advanced entry-level string instrument students.

Abstract

This study employs a practice-based research approach to examine the Riung Gunung Festival from the perspective of its initiators, positioning the authors as active actors within the festival. Nusantara spices, long recognized since the 5th century as central commodities in global diplomacy and trade, provide the historical backdrop for this study. In Bandung Raya, tea and coffee later became vital colonial-era commodities, though land conversion and limited plant rejuvenation have weakened their position. The purpose of this research is to highlight the novelty of practice-based research in which the festival itself functions as a curatorial artifact integrating agriculture, gastronomy, and cultural economy. Data were collected through participant observation and documentation of knowledge dissemination sessions during the festival, in which the authors acted as participant observers. Notably, the first author served as moderator in one of these dissemination dialogues, further positioning the research team as insider-actors within the practice-based research process. Findings show that microlot coffee, premium tea, medicinal plants, and local gastronomy represent the actualization of traditional knowledge with both cultural and economic value. The study concludes that sustainable reinforcement of spice networks requires collaborative governance through the Pentahelix model, positioning the Riung Gunung Festival as a replicable framework for culture-based regional development.
