Abstract

The authors aim to discuss the role of the saxophone in the presentation of Toba Batak traditional music in the city of Medan. The development of traditional music ensembles using the saxophone instrument is very rapid. This is caused by the large number of songs used that are popular music. The use of the saxophone instrument is growing rapidly in wedding customs and death ceremonies in the traditional music of the Toba Batak community as a carrier of melodies and 'bunga-bunga'. Usually, at Toba Batak traditional wedding parties, the function of the saxophone can be varied. There is the main melody carrier, carrying a collection of notes that resemble variations (flowers) and harmony with the various instruments used in the ensemble. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative method in which researchers conduct observations and unstructured interviews to obtain valid information. The research results show that the saxophone plays a role as power in the Toba Batak gondang ensemble for each song played. Especially when giving ulos to the bride and groom.

Abstract

The Lamuri Kingdom in Aceh has relics in the form of gravestones called "Plak-plieng" stones, which are concrete evidence and records of the history of the kings who were buried with these gravestones. This Plak-plieng gravestone is thought to be a gravestone made by local people during the reign of the Lamuri kingdom with a mixed population who emigrated from outside Aceh at that time. The Lamuri Kingdom was an Acehnese Hindu kingdom that existed in the 4th century, turned into Islam or a sultanate in the 9th century, and lasted until the 15th century. The Plak-plieng gravestone, which is characteristic of the Lamuri royal graves, was rediscovered in 1890. Based on the date written on the gravestone found, the Plak-plieng gravestone dates to the 12th century AD. Thus, the Plak-plieng gravestone was made during the Islamic era, or when Lamuri became an Islamic kingdom. The type of research in this study is research using a descriptive method. The descriptive method is a method used to look for elements, characteristics, and properties of a phenomenon. The method begins with collecting data, analysing the data, and interpreting it. This descriptive research tries to reveal and explain the problems that occur in society, especially the problem of searching for symbolic aesthetics on the Plak-plieng gravestones of the Lamuri kingdom of Aceh. The Plak-plieng gravestone contains various symbolic elements that we can find using Susane K. Langer's theory. The findings of the symbolic aesthetic meaning found are divided into several parts according to Langer's aesthetic theory. On the Plak-plieng gravestones of the Lamuri Kingdom of Aceh, symbolic aesthetics are found as a symbol of art. The implied value of this gravestone gives us an idea of the high artistic value that existed in past societies. In this way, we can see that the level of artistic taste of the people of Aceh in the past was very high. The discovery of the inscription on this gravestone also explains the glory days of a kingdom led by the owner of the gravestone. This day dates back nine hundred years. In this way, we can learn about the value of art in the past through the Acehnese civilisation and how they found materials for making sturdy gravestones and a variety of ornaments that were very complicated and beautiful.

Abstract

This study is entitled Continuity and Changes in the Presentation of Sikambang Art in the Community of Sibolga City. In this study, qualitative methods are used as a reference in conducting research. This research took place on Jalan Sisinga Mangaraja XII, Sibolga City. The purpose of this study was to determine the continuity and changes that occurred in the period before independence, after independence and the New Order era until now. In this study, researchers apply the theory of cultural change according to Herskovitz; cultural change can be seen from two points of view, namely, what happened in the past and the present. Based on the first point of view, they always use it in the term diffusion, which is defined as the transmission of culture in the process. The results achieved in this study are the dynamics of change in a period of 3 periods wherein the pre-independence stage, Sikambang art was still very simple, only played with Sikambang drums, and then in the post-independence phase, Sikambang art progressed with the addition of several instruments in its presentation. Then in the New Order phase, Sikambang art began to be eroded by the entry of new cultures, which caused a lack of interest in the new generation in maintaining Sikambang art. This can be seen from the loss of several songs in the Sikambang arts.

Abstract

This study investigates the transformation and adaptation processes of gondrang sipitu-pitu music within Simalungun society in response to social, cultural, and technological dynamics. Originally serving as a medium for ritual and spiritual communication in the context of Simalungun customs, gondrang sipitu-pitu has undergone significant changes in its musical structure, social function, and performance style due to the influence of religion, modernization, and external cultural forces. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, drawing upon Margaret Kartomi theory of transformation and adaptation, Jeff Todd Titon theory of musical style, and William F. Ogburn theory of socio-cultural change. The findings reveal that although modern instruments have begun to challenge the dominance of traditional ones, key musical elements such as rhythm, sarunei melodies, and ensemble structure remain preserved. The emerging musical style reflects the creative adaptation of traditional artists to contemporary performance contexts. However, this transformation is also accompanied by critical issues, including the erosion of sacred meaning, the influence of modern aesthetic pressures, and the commodification of local culture. The shift from sacred ritual to popular entertainment raises concerns regarding the authenticity and sustainability of cultural values. Thus, this transformation must be understood not merely as an adaptive process, but as a contested arena of meaning, identity, and cultural power within Simalungun society.
