Abstract

Using the Gamelan Degung Sunda application as an alternative instructional medium has proven effective in addressing the challenges posed by the limited availability of gamelan instruments in higher education settings. The demand for flexible and efficient solutions in developing performance skills for Gamelan Degung has driven the integration of digital technology into arts education. This study adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method, employing direct observation and in-depth interviews with students who engaged with the application as part of their learning process. The findings indicate that the Gamelan Degung Sunda application effectively enhances students' understanding of musical structure and fundamental techniques in playing Gamelan Degung Sunda. It also significantly improves accessibility by enabling students to practice independently outside formal classroom sessions. Moreover, the application fosters active learning, despite its limited content scope, which does not fully represent the complexity of karawitan (Sundanese classical music). These findings underscore that integrating digital technology into arts education is not merely a short-term solution to infrastructural constraints but represents an innovative approach to cultivating adaptive and participatory learning experiences. The practical implication lies in the application's role as a pedagogical aid within academic environments that lack adequate facilities. Academically, the study opens avenues for developing digitally-based arts curricula and further investigating the effectiveness of application-based instructional media within the context of arts education in the digital transformation era. Future application developments are recommended to include more complex instructional content and comprehensive integration within technology-oriented arts study programs.Digitalisasi Gamelan Degung: Aplikasi Berbasis Android untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Musikal di Pendidikan TinggiAbstrakPemanfaatan aplikasi Gamelan Degung Sunda sebagai media pembelajaran alternatif terbukti mampu menjawab tantangan keterbatasan instrumen gamelan di lingkungan perguruan tinggi.

Abstract

Gorompol is one of the sekar-gending repertoires that plays a significant role in Sundanese wayang golek purwa performances, particularly in the scenes of cabut kayon/gunungan, ibingan wayang, and murwa dalang. This study aims to examine the role, structure, and musical complexity of Gorompol within the context of wayang golek performances. The research employs content analysis with data collected through direct observation, audio-visual documentation, and interviews with both puppeteers (dalang) and musicians (wiyaga). The findings reveal that Gorompol is a distinctive piece commonly performed during daytime performances, characterized by a concise yet intricate musical structure. Its complexity is reflected in the flexibility of combining salendro and madenda laras systems during the murwa scene, the dynamic interaction among the puppeteer, musicians, singers (sinden), and vocal exclamations (alok), as well as the tightly regulated structural patterns despite its function as accompanying music. These findings highlight that Gorompol is not merely background music but a medium of expression that enhances the dramaturgy of the performance. The relevance of this study to contemporary performing arts lies in how Gorompol exemplifies collective creativity in preserving traditional continuity while simultaneously opening pathways for musical innovation in modern performance practices.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the pakem of Sundanese wayang golek purwa as formulated and documented by Mas Ace Salmun, a prominent figure in the codification of this traditional art form. As a cultural heritage of the Sundanese people, wayang golek purwa embodies profound philosophical values, with the pakem serving as the primary guideline in its performance. This research explores the principles of pakem in the art of padalangan according to Ace Salmun’s perspective on wayang golek purwa performances. The study employs a qualitative approach with a literature review method, tracing classical sources and textual documentation that specifically discuss pakem in wayang golek purwa. The findings reveal that Ace Salmun identifies twelve fundamental aspects of pakem padalangan, namely: Awi-Carita, Amardi-Basa, Anta-Wacana, Amardawa-Lagu, Parama-Kawi, Parama-Sastra, Kawi-Radya, Renggep, Sabet, Banyol, Engés, and Tutug. These twelve aspects function as a conceptual foundation that enables a structured analysis of Sundanese wayang golek purwa padalangan practice. This research is expected to enrich the body of literature on cultural and traditional performing arts studies while also contributing to the preservation of Sundanese wayang golek purwa. Accordingly, the study holds significance not only for academics but also for practitioners particularly dalang and broader communities concerned with safeguarding Sundanese cultural heritage.

Abstract

The song “Panghudang Rasa” is one of the musical repertoires in the form of sekar-gending that is often presented in Kliningan and Wayang Golek performances. Eutik Muchtar's work is known to have a high level of musical difficulty, especially in the kepesindenan genre. This research aims to uncover the song's musical uniqueness, which includes the use of multi-laras, complex surupan variations, and deep poetic meanings. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this research analyzes audio and video recordings to identify its musical structure. The results show that this song uses Dwi-Laras, namely Degung and Madenda laras, with nine surupan: Madenda 4= Tugu, Madenda 4= Panelu, Madenda 5= Tugu, Madenda 2= Tugu, Madenda 5= Galimer, Madenda 2= Galimer, Degung 2= Tugu, Degung 3= Panelu, and Degung 5= Tugu. The song combines vocal and musical aspects, resulting in a complex and aesthetic structure. This finding confirms that “Panghudang Rasa” is a work that is not only beautiful in terms of musical aesthetics, but also rich in philosophical values.

Abstract

Gending “Sungsang” is one of the gending sekar ageng commonly performed in Sundanese wayang golek purwa productions. It is typically presented at the beginning of the performance, earning its designation as gending jejer ngawitan. This study aims to examine the presentational form of gending “Sungsang” within the wayang golek purwa context, while also analyzing its musical composition and its functional role within the overall dramaturgical structure of the performance. The research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis. The findings reveal that gending “Sungsang” demonstrates notable flexibility in its structural presentation. Its distinctiveness lies in its two-goongan structure, which has long served as a defining characteristic of this piece. Initially, the gending functioned exclusively as an accompaniment for murwa or the dalang’s haleuang. However, its usage has since expanded, and it is now also performed to accompany wayang dance or ibingan. Consequently, gending “Sungsang” fulfills multiple functions as a gending jejer ngawitan acting as the musical prelude to the performance, the accompaniment for the movement of the kayon/gunungan, the dance sequences, and the dalang’s murwa. These variations in presentation enrich the artistic landscape of Sundanese padalangan. Therefore, it is essential for artists and scholars to continue exploring this gending through research that further investigates its specific musical and performative dimensions.

Abstract

The ongoing debate surrounding patet theory in Sundanese karawitan reveals a clear divergence in epistemic perspectives between formal music education and artistic practice. Within academic settings, patet is positioned as a theoretical foundation for performing the pelog-salendro gamelan system. However, many practitioners argue that the concept does not manifest explicitly in lived musical practice. This study re-examines the theoretical construction of patet through an ethnomusicological lens, drawing on practice theory (Bourdieu; Reckwitz) and the concept of embodied musical knowledge (Brinner; McKerrell). Findings demonstrate significant differences regarding nada pangaget and pancer: academics tend to codify both as fixed elements, whereas artists interpret them relationally, guided by musical intuition and performative context. The analysis confirms that patet continues to shape tonal orientation, dominant tones, and affective musical space. This study argues that patet should be understood as a dual concept normative in academic discourse yet flexible in artistic practice bridging theoretical frameworks and Sundanese karawitan performance.
