Abstract

The Lampung societies have many arts and cultures, one of which is a gambus tunggal. The characteristic of gambus that are played solely and has an original tuning system. A gambus tunggal style produces a melodic tone, accompanied by chanted poems that involve new romantic romance of Lampung, or parents’ advice to their children. This ethnography study aims to comprehend how the gambus tunggal artists maintain the existence in Lampung. The study applies a descriptive method with a qualitative idea. We have interrogated and field studies to gather primary data. A purposive sampling technique was used to interview a gambus tunggal player who existed for decades. The result indicates that a gambus tunggal artist is doing a collaborative struggle to support gambus tunggal and living sources’ survival. They need collaboration to keep the existence of traditional Lampung music. Gambus players have considered using social media as a promotional strategy. The local government’s role has a tremendous impact, for example, providing an opportunity to perform gambus tunggal at various events, festivals, and many competitions. Therefore, the tourism sector is the foundation of Lampung’s traditional music. It establishes policies to serve various performing arts.

Abstract

This paper aims to describe the Jaipongan drumming strokes in Lagu Gedé. Lagu Gedé is a type of song in Sundanese Karawitan that has a large embat (rhythm). This song includes a dish of drums vocals accompanied by gamelan pelog-salendro with characteristics that have tone, barrel, surupan, embat, gending, slow tempo, embat opat wilet, and bound by the standard rules. Observations were made by appreciating Jaipongan’s performances in Bandung and Karawang. Besides, the author conducts interviews with several primary informants who are directly involved in the arrangement of Jaipongan. Gedé’s point here is to look at it with a smooth, soft, slow serving. The Kiliningan genre has a specific punch motif name for Gede’s song.  The name of this variation is called tepak melem. Melem has a delicious or gentle meaning. Tepak melem to accompany Sekar Gending songs in Kiliningan genre. The phenomenon that happens that Lagu Gede is served in Kiliningan dish and used to attend Jaipongan dance. When Jaipongan’s work uses Gedé’s song, it generates innovations. Gedé’s song is no longer presented with a glued drum but with a tepak diteunggeul. Diteunggeul contains the meaning of being hit hard, powerful, dynamic, and fast. This research concluded that jaipongan drumming strokes in Lagu Gedé is realized that drummers and dancers must explore many spaces because it has the freedom to work. After all, they present it in an embat opat wilet (big rhythm). This affects the widening of the number of beats, the position of kenongan, pancer, and gongan. Artists have the freedom to do creativity in working on Gede’s songs.  The space of artists in their work can ultimately foster new creativity that impacts the growth and development of Sundanese karawitan.

Abstract

The characteristics of a region become an identity that is certainly inseparable from the noble values it adheres to, including religious values as the foundation for the formation of art of terebang gede in the Panggung Jati studio, Panggung Jati village, Serang, Banten. This study aims to describe the percussion patterns in the art of Terebang Gede both in text and context by using a qualitative paradigm with descriptive analytical methods. As a highlighted theory, ethnomusicology is used to analyze the existence of music in a culture, both from physical aspects and socio-cultural aspects. The data collection technique is done by interview, documentation study, and literature study. The data analysis stages are carried out in the order of data collection, data reduction, data organizing into a pattern, category, and description into basic descriptions that lead to the concluding process. The results showed that the percussion pattern of terebang gede is very simple. The percussion patterns on all existing musical instruments, such as the musical instrument of koneng, kempul, penganak (bibit), interlude, and bass (terebang gede), still follow the framework of the percussion “standard” which is hereditary from previous generations. Until now, this accompaniment without the development of rhythmic variations has been used to accompany syair or sholawat Al-Barzanjiwith with tones of Sundanese-style songs of the salendro type. Changes in accompaniment were not made because this performance was only performed on special occasions for Muslims to broadcast and support worship which was not intended as entertainment music.

Abstract

The study analyses the manifestation of structural change from the Bach Violin Chaconne (BWV1004, c.1720) to the Bach-Busoni piano transcription (c.1897). This article explores the use of two-dimensional music abstraction for vertical (pitch height) and horizontal (time) and its signal insignificant identified bariolage sections in music. Bariolage excerpts are chosen for they are implied sounds captured in repeatability and recontextuality. The first part of the article offers an excerpt of the Bariolage from violin at bars (113-120) and its parallel piano transcription at bars (118-125). Significant expressions of registral change utilizing different voice parts (Soprano, Alto, Tenor) offer a wider expansion with piano. These excerpts were chosen after reviewing the original Bach Chaconne and its essentials in analytical aesthetics for the projection of beauty in symmetry-asymmetry-chaos in composition. This study captures the aesthetics of the beautiful from the original score of the violin Chaconne at (bars 89-96) and (bars 113-120) for Bach-Busoni piano transcription. Further, there are recommendations for future studies to explore vertical spaces and mathematical sequences embedded in the music in other sections. The findings of this study were implied through new music analytical formats to be applied in composition, pedagogy, and performance practice.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the concept of balance found in playing techniques, tempo, and dynamics (ngumbang-ngisep) at Sekati Ririg Cenik gending in Tejakula, Buleleng Regency. The research is focused on the presentation using the barungan of Gong Kebyar gamelan, because at the time of handling the beginning observation, it was presented to accompany religious ceremonies at Pura Maksan Tejakula. This research is a qualitative study using several data collection techniques; observation, interviews, documentation, and literature. The approach used is a musicological approach using aesthetic theory. The results obtained from this study are the concept of dualism balance in terms of some of the forming elements in it, such as playing techniques on instruments pemade, kantilan, trompong, reyong, and ceng-ceng kopyak. These are some of the instruments that use the polos-sangsih system in their playing. Playing Technigue usually play parallel to the tempo, while playing technique sangsih is still playing against the tempo. Furthermore, the concept of balance at tempo can be seen from the speed with which gending Sekati Ririg Cenik is presented. The presentation begins with a slow tempo, then after several repetitions of the gending the tempo slowly changes to faster until it reaches the end of the gending, and the tempo is again set to slow. Likewise with the concept of dynamic balance which can be viewed from the loudness of the musical presentation. Setting the tempo and dynamics is intended to achieve balance and will not cause boredom in the presentation. These three things can be implemented in the Gong Kebyar gamelan instrument which is used as a medium in presenting Sekati Ririg Cenik gending by the community in Tejakula Village.

Abstract

The station of the cross is an event of the Passion story of Jesus Christ carrying the cross from the Pilate’s palace to the hill of Golgotha. On that journey, Jesus endured torture and humiliation, both from Roman soldiers and Jews. Based on this story, the objective of the research is to describe the process of developing a new compositional composition based on the story of the journey in the format of a choir and a musical ensemble. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documents. After all data has been collected, the next process is to determine the use of scales, instrumentation, and composition based on rhythmic and melodic motifs, time signature, key signature, tempo, and composition of song texts. The choice of musical signs is adjusted to the meaning of the lyrics used. The composition of the Song of the Station of the Cross which is composed is a combination of a mixed choir consisting of soprano, alto, tenor, and bass with a musical ensemble. The novelty of the composition of the Song of the Station the Cross lies in the use of the style of baroque passions (1600-1750), aria, and recitative combined with modern harmonies, namely the use of the seventh tone, the ninth tone, and the thirteenth tone of a chord, and the use of Indonesian as the whole text of the composition
