Abstract

This research opens up a space for discourse on the existence of various perspectives of musicians and the community regarding the dominance of instruments. They believe that there is one instrument that has a higher 'value' than other instruments. In this case, ‘value’ can be interpreted as dominance, tendency, ‘primacy’, ‘existence’ and ‘position’ within a band or musical ensemble. The urgency of this research is to see to what extent this dominance is interpreted in a musical performance by musicians, the general public, and how this is connected to the concept of 'equality' from an instrumentation perspective. Something that becomes ‘blurry’ when an instrument is debated without a ‘balanced’ indicator or is diminuted from the character of the instrument.

Abstract

Trisutji Kamal is the first Indonesian female composer to work in the field of 'Indonesian classical music', and her works have become part of the repertoire of various musical performances, concerts, and recitals both domestically and internationally. His compositions are manifestations of personal experience, identity, nationalism, love and beauty, developed using various compositional techniques connected to various trajectories of Western music history. In this position, the author sees Trisutji Kamal as having entered a phase of providing novelty in composition, namely by discussing a 'new' compositional form. This 'new' compositional form has directly opened up a space for discussion regarding aesthetics, appropriateness, temporality, and also interpretation. The Cycle: Hope and Disappointment is a different cycle from those of Schubert and Schumann. Trisutji Kamal presents different times within the cycle and various themes, thus creating a distinct continuity. This certainly impacts the performance and the way the text is conveyed to the audience. According to the author, this is one of Trisutji Kamal's compositional strengths that has not been widely discussed in scholarly discussions and previous research. Through a qualitative approach, this research opens up space to see the relationship between Trisutji Kamal's work and Schubert and Schumann and to discuss different things as part of 'newness' in composition.
