  • Does the Possession of a Kadazandusun Traditional
    Athens Journal of Social Sciences - Volume 6, Issue 3 – Pages 251-262 Does the Possession of a Kadazandusun Traditional Costume and the Capability to Play a Traditional Musical Instrument Differentiate an Individual’s Identity Orientation? By Getrude Cosmas, Agnis Sombuling†, Ben Anderson AK Melai‡ & Andrew Poninting The aim of this study was to examine the differences between Kadazandusun participants who possessed and who do not possess a traditional Kadazandusun costume in regard to the four types of identity orientation (i.e. personal, relational, social & collective). These differences were also assessed between participants who were and were not able to play a traditional musical instrument. A total of 242 Kadazandusun participants were enrolled, and the study used a survey questionnaire with two sections. Section A included questions about the demographic profile (age, gender, ethnicity, possession of a traditional costume, ability to play a traditional musical instrument, and education level), while Section B measured the four types of identity orientation (i.e. personal, relational, social & collective). We hypothesized that participants who possessed a Kadazandusun traditional costume and those who could play a traditional musical instrument had higher relational and collective identity orientation. The study revealed that those who possessed a Kadazandusun traditional costume had higher relational, social, and collective self- identity compared to those who did not own a costume. Further, those who could play a traditional musical instrument only showed higher on social identity orientation than those who could not play any traditional musical instrument. These findings showed that people’s identity orientation may differ based such cultural elements (e.g., possession of a Kadazandusun traditional costume and ability to play a traditional musical instrument).

  • Sources, Sounds and Meanings of Turali (Noseflute) Music in Dusunic Cultures of Sabah1
    Jacqueline Pugh-Kitingan 1 Sources, Sounds and Meanings of Turali (Noseflute) Music in Dusunic Cultures of Sabah1 Jacqueline Pugh-Kitingan Borneo Heritage Research Unit, and Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Heritage Universiti Malaysia Sabah e-mail: [email protected] Published online: 30 December 2017 Cite this article (APA): Pugh Kitingan, J. (2017). Sources, sounds and meanings of turali (noseflute) music in Dusunic cultures of Sabah. Malaysian Music Journal, 6(2), 1-28. Abstract The turali noseflute (also known as turahi among some of the Kadazan Dusun of Tambunan) is traditionally played solo as a form of personal entertainment and expression among most of the indigenous Dusunic societies of Sabah, the east Malaysian state of Northern Borneo. This instrument has the same basic structure and performance technique in all Dusunic communities where it is played, but can vary in length. In most cases, as among the Lotud Dusun and some of the Kadazan Dusun, its music expresses happiness and imitates the melodies of traditional songs. Among the Rungus, it can also be played by a novice priestess (bobolizan) to help her memorise the melodies of ritual chants (rinait) when practising alone outside of the ritual context. Its soft sound is also considered soothing when played at night in the longhouse. For the Kadazan Dusun in the central part of Tambunan District, however, turali music expresses melancholy and usually copies patterns in the stylised crying of female mourners during a wake. It is not played during mourning, but months or years later to express sorrow for a deceased relative. Drawing upon more than thirty-five years of research by the author, this article compares and contrasts different examples of turali music, discussing the sources, sounds and meanings of the music, and showing the transformation of vocal motifs and emotive patterns into melodies played with the instrument.

  • Creative Method
    Creative Method The U9 Xylophone: An Innovation in Music Classroom Teaching Jinky Jane C. Simeon Borneo Heritage Research Unit, Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Heritage, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, MALAYSIA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The native cultures of Sabah are rich in traditional musical instruments. However, through a recent survey of a few primary and private schools around Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, the author noticed that the musical instruments used to teach music are mostly Western. This observation raises an important question: Is it possible for local musical instruments to be modified for teaching music in the classroom? A careful observation of the kulintangan (set of small kettle gongs) and gabang (wooden xylophone) from the Kinabatangan area of Sabah allowed the author to create a modified bamboo xylophone, which she named the U9 Xylophone, since its target users are children under nine years of age. The U9 Xylophone set was specifically modified and tuned for three different ranges: soprano, alto and bass. This paper describes the physical structure, tuning system, mallets and performance technique of the U9 Xylophone set. In addition, it offers some suggestions for the use of the U9 Xylophone in teaching, including two music arrangements. The author thus hopes to promote the nationwide utilisation of local innovative products for the teaching of music to children under nine years of age. © Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2015 148 Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse.

  • An. EVOLUTION of SAPE
    EVOLUTION OF SAPE: FROM LONGHOUSE TO THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE Connie Lim Keh Nie* Faculty of Applied and Creative Arts, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Kot Samarahan, Malaysia Mohd. Fadzil Abdul Rahman Faculty of Applied and Creative Arts, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak Kot Samarahan, Malaysia *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Sape, a boat lute shape, plucked stringed musical instrument played among the Kayan and Kenyah people in Central Borneo and the Dayak in Kalimantan Indonesia. This musical instrument is often used as the symbol in promoting Malaysia in the areas of arts, culture and tourism. It is also the symbol of the state of Sarawak. In Sarawak, sape is the traditional instrument of the Kenyah, Kayan, Kelabit, Penan and other ethnic tribes of Orang Ulu community living in Kapit, Bintulu, Miri, Limbang district. Over the past 40 years, the instrument is brought to travel and perform in different parts of the world by different sape players. This shows that the sape music which is traditionally played to accompany dances during festivals and as a form of entertainment in the longhouses and villages is now performing at musical festivals such as the arts, cultural and tourism pro- motions in various countries. Hence, this paper aims to trace the development of sape in terms of its physical structure and the evolution of sape from the perspective of its performance practice and repertoire. Keywords: Sape, Musical Instrument, Evolution, Performance Practice INTRODUCTION Once the name of the musical instrument ‘sape’ is uttered, what came across the majority’s mind is the image of a guitar like instrument played by plucking the strings.

  • FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS of SOUND from SOMPOTON MUSICAL INSTRUMENT Ong Chen Wei & Jedol Dayou School of Science and Technol
    BORNEO SCIENCE 25: SEPTEMBER 2009 FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUND FROM SOMPOTON MUSICAL INSTRUMENT Ong Chen Wei & Jedol Dayou School of Science and Technology Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88999 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia ABSTRACT. 'Sompoton' is one of the most popular traditional musical instruments among local residents in Sabah. The sound generated by the instrument is unique and attractive and its architecture contains a gourd, which had been dried up with eight pieces of bamboo (pipe) inserted into it. A measurement has been carried out to determine the frequency characteristics of sound of the 'sompoton' in its original forms. Frequency values obtained from the measurement were then compared to the frequency predicted by using the closed-end pipe and open-end pipe model. It was found that the generation of harmonic frequency by the 'sompoton' follows the open-end pipe model. However, the generation of the fundamental frequency does not comply with any of the models. This has opened for possibility to the establishment of a new model for 'sompoton'. KEYWORDS. Musical instruments, frequency analysis, pipe model, harmonic frequency. INTRODUCTION Sabah is rich with local musical arts and instruments from different clans (Williams 1961). Music in Sabah have been an important part of most of the social activities for the indigenous people. Most of the musical instruments in Sabah are made from natural resources, for instance tongkungon, turali, suling and sompoton are made from bamboo. Musical instruments in Sabah have been categorized as membranphones (e.g. gendang and kompang), aerophones (e.g. suling, turali, sompoton and kungkuvak), codophones (e.g. biola, tongkungon, sundatang and gambus) and idiophones (e.g.
