Abstract

This study aims to examine the rangkep rhythmic pattern in Surakarta-style gending through an analysis of garap and the social meanings embedded in mirunggan performances. The study employs representation theory to understand how rangkep serves as a symbol of cultural values, alongside garap theory, creativity theory in karawitan musicality, cultural development theory, and rasa theory. Data were collected through a literature review, participant observation of mirunggan performances, audiovisual documentation, musical transcription, and in-depth interviews with pengrawit and sindhen. The analysis was conducted by relating the results of garap transcriptions of balungan, kendhangan, and vocal parts to emic narratives and the broader social context. The findings indicate that rangkep functions not only as a musical strategy that expands the scope of expression but also represents sacredness, collective identity, and solidarity within Javanese society. Its use in mirunggan performances demonstrates the interconnectedness of musical creativity, rasa experience, and cultural values embedded in the community. Thus, rangkep constitutes both a musical phenomenon and a cultural practice that reflects the close relationship between musical structure, aesthetic experience, and social meaning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the constituent elements of the angkat sèlèh technique in Surakarta-style sindhénan, positioning the sindhen as the primary subject in the process of musical interpretation and elaboration. The study views angkat sèlèh not merely as a normative vocal pattern but as a musical practice shaped by the interaction between the structure of karawitan and the sindhen’s performance experience. A qualitative approach was employed, using comparative analysis of recordings and sindhénan performances to identify angkat patterns, sèlèh duration, levels of improvisation, and their relationships with balungan, irama, and ricikan. A phenomenological approach was applied through in-depth interviews to explore the sindhen’s musical awareness, interpretive strategies, and aesthetic considerations. The findings indicate that angkat sèlèh is not formulaic but emerges from the dynamic relationship between balungan as the structural framework of the gending, irama as the temporal flow, and ricikan as a medium of musical interaction. Angkat functions to open musical space and guide expression, while sèlèh serves as a point of musical resolution that reinforces the structure and character of the performance. The novelty of this study lies in conceptualizing angkat sèlèh as an interpretive practice that enhances the flexibility of garap, musical sensitivity, and harmony between vocals and accompanying instruments in Surakarta-style sindhénan. These findings further affirm sindhénan as a dynamic, contextual, and practice-based musical process.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the need for developing interactive learning media based on Canva to support students' interest in learning Islamic Religious Education at the junior high school level. This research uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach by adopting the ADDIE model, but is limited to the analysis stage. The research subjects consisted of 33 seventh-grade students as survey respondents and one Islamic Religious Education teacher as the interview source. Data were collected thru a four-point Likert scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively thru the calculation of average scores and percentages, while the interview data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively thru data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that the current condition of PAI learning obtained a percentage of 78.03% with a high category, student learning interest obtained a percentage of 81.06% with a very high category, and the need for interactive learning media based on Canva obtained a percentage of 75.76% with a high category. Interview findings indicate that PAI learning has utilized simple digital media, such as PowerPoint, videos, and Canva displays, but has not yet been developed interactively and structurally. Therefore, interactive learning media based on Canva is needed to present PAI material in a more visual, engaging, concise manner, and to involve students thru features such as images, colors, simple animations, navigation buttons, as well as quizzes or exercises. This research provides a foundational basis for the development of Canva-based PAI learning media that meets the needs of students and the learning conditions in junior high schools.
