Abstract

The low level of vocal technique and choral harmony skills among students at Bahorok 1 Public High School made this community service activity urgent. Students had difficulty dividing their voices into soprano, alto, tenor, and bass (SATB), maintaining pitch accuracy, and understanding intervals, resulting in a lack of harmony. This activity aims to improve vocal competence, understanding of harmonization, and build cooperation and confidence among students through choir training. The implementation methods include initial observation, determining voice groups based on vocal characteristics, basic vocal technique training, training for each voice group using the drill method, and gradually combining all voices with guidance and guitar accompaniment. The results of the activity showed an improvement in students' ability to maintain pitch accuracy, understand SATB voice divisions, and produce more harmonious harmonization. In addition, students showed greater enthusiasm and confidence after being able to perform songs together. The impact of this activity not only improved musical skills but also strengthened discipline, concentration, and cooperation among students. Thus, choir training is effective as an effort to strengthen music arts capacity in schools and is recommended to be implemented continuously in extracurricular programs.

Abstract

This study explores the meaning of the song Towi-Towi, composed by Piet Harefa, as a form of social criticism against the customary marriage law (fondrakö) of the Nias people. Written in the 1960s and later popularized by Ayu Zega in 2014, the song reflects the social struggles of Nias women who face difficulties in marriage due to the high böwö (bridewealth) determined by bosi (social status) within the traditional system. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive method supported by discographic study, literature review, and observation. Schleiermacher’s hermeneutic theory serves as the analytical framework to interpret the composer’s intention and to uncover the symbolic meanings embedded in the lyrics. The use of personification through the towi-towi bird, a local symbol of good news, becomes a poetic device through which Piet Harefa expresses the anxiety, hope, and criticism toward rigid customary norms. The findings reveal that Towi-Towi functions not merely as entertainment but as a medium of reflection and social protest that exposes gender inequality, materialism, and the moral burden imposed by the fondrakö system. The song also portrays the paradox between cultural pride and socio-economic suffering, especially among men who must comply with the demanding expectations of the traditional marriage structure. As a cultural text, Towi-Towi represents a form of musical resistance that questions the moral and ethical relevance of traditional values in a changing modern context. Thus, the song embodies both aesthetic and socio-political significance in the collective consciousness of Nias society.
