  • Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and The
    Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Christina Sunardi, Chair Patricia Campbell Laurie Sears Philip Schuyler Meilu Ho Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music ii ©Copyright 2017 Joseph M. Kinzer iii University of Washington Abstract Bodies of Sound, Agents of Muslim Malayness: Malaysian Identity Politics and the Symbolic Ecology of the Gambus Lute Joseph M. Kinzer Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi Music In this dissertation, I show how Malay-identified performing arts are used to fold in Malay Muslim identity into the urban milieu, not as an alternative to Kuala Lumpur’s contemporary cultural trajectory, but as an integrated part of it. I found this identity negotiation occurring through secular performance traditions of a particular instrument known as the gambus (lute), an Arabic instrument with strong ties to Malay history and trade. During my fieldwork, I discovered that the gambus in Malaysia is a potent symbol through which Malay Muslim identity is negotiated based on various local and transnational conceptions of Islamic modernity. My dissertation explores the material and virtual pathways that converge a number of historical, geographic, and socio-political sites—including the National Museum and the National Conservatory for the Arts, iv Culture, and Heritage—in my experiences studying the gambus and the wider transmission of muzik Melayu (Malay music) in urban Malaysia. I argue that the gambus complicates articulations of Malay identity through multiple agentic forces, including people (musicians, teachers, etc.), the gambus itself (its materials and iconicity), various governmental and non-governmental institutions, and wider oral, aural, and material transmission processes.

Rebana dirancang secara manual dan ditera oleh pembuatnya dengan rasa jiwa dan perasaan mereka sendiri berdasarkan pengalaman. Indera pendengaran manusia dapat membedakan tinggi-rendahnya nada, namun tidak dapat mengetahui secara pasti jenis nada apa yang didengar olehnya. Hal ini sangatlah penting bagi seorang pemusik untuk mengetahui apakah alat musiknya sudah menghasilkan nada-nada yang tepat. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji karakteristik frekuensi bunyi pada rebana. Rebana merupakan alat musik tradisional yang belum mempunyai standar nada seperti alat musik lainnya. Tiap rebana yang dihasilkan memiliki perbedaan pada setiap penyelarasnya. Sehingga diharapkan hasil dari penelitian ini dapat digunakan untuk penentuan standarisasi pada alat musik rebana. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak berbasis android yaitu handphone android. handphone android ini telah dilengkapi dengan perangkat android audio frequensy counter yang langsung dapat menampilkan nilai frekuensi dari bunyi rebana yang diamati. Dengan melakukan penabuhan yang konstan pada setiap rebana maka dapat diperoleh nilai frekuensi resonansi dari langsung pada kolom audio frequensy counter. Frekuensi resonansi rata-rata yang diperoleh dari penelitian untuk rebana berturut-turut dari keplak, hadroh dan bass yaitu 750-1251 Hz, 681-1189 Hz, 630-1084 Hz, 503- 736 Hz, 270-448 Hz, 227,5-382 Hz, 146-332 Hz, 145-283 Hz.

  • Gender Implication of Qasidah, an Indonesian Islamic Music
    Gender Implication of Qasidah, An Indonesian Islamic Music Efi Latifah University of Hawaii at Manoa [email protected] Abstract This study investigates the gender contents of qasidah with regards to Islamic values in the performing arts. How are women represented in qasidah performance? How are gender relations expressed in the performance and lyrical text of qasidah? For instance, the Rebana Dor is a case in point for illustrating the gendering of qasidah. This subgenre is reserved for female performers. It is considered more attractive despite limitations in gender articulation. This restriction over female performance highlights the way in which the male gaze imposes a form of control over the female body. This control is supported and continually reproduced by the gender regime, most strongly exercised by the religious institution. Additionally, as Connell (2007: 66) implies, language is the greatest source of symbolic gender relations. An analysis of qasidah song lyrics therefore indicate that gender relations are also manifested in the “text” of qasidah. Here we can see that the image of an ideal woman is projected from a patriarchal viewpoint – that of a man. As seen in the qasidah song “PKK” (The Family Welfare Movement), the state as a larger scale gender arrangement also plays a role in gender construction. The gap between the woman’s perspective and her representation in the lyrics presents the question of whose voice is actually being represented despite the singer being woman. It seems that there is a tacit song-specification based on gender. For example, a woman is deemed unfit to sing a song that praises piety in women.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 . Latar Belakang Masalah Suku Jawa atau Suku Bangsa Jawa adalah suku bangsa terbanyak jumlahnya dalam populasi penduduk Indonesia. Menurut Badan Pusat Statistik dalam sensus penduduk tahun 2010 saja jumlah orang Jawa telah mencapai 41,7 persen dari seluruh populasi penduduk Indonesia yang mencapai angka 237,56 Juta jiwa. Di Provinsi Sumatera Utara sendiri populasi suku bangsa Jawa mencapai sepertiga dari 12,98 juta populasi penduduk Provinsi Sumatera Utara. Catatan sejarah mengatakan bahwa migrasi suku bangsa Jawa ke Sumatera Timur mulai ramai pada abad 19 dan abad 20. Tepatnya pada tahun 1863 dimana banyak para pengusaha Belanda yang membuka perkebunan- perkebunan baru di Sumatera Timur. Mereka bermigrasi ke-luar Pulau Jawa dikarenakan semakin banyaknya keperluan tenaga kerja perkebunan di Sumatera Timur. Awalnya para pemilik kebun mendatangkan orang Cina dari Pulau Pinang dan Singapura sebagai buruh perkebunan. Namun kesulitan-kesulitan dalam cara memperoleh pekerja Cina akhirnya menyebabkan pemilik perkebunan beralih menggunakan pekerja Jawa (Reid, 2011:192). Pada pertengahan 1890-an para kuli Jawa dengan cepat melampaui jumlah kuli Cina di perkebunan-perkebunan Deli (Reid, 2011:220). Salah satu penyebabnya 1 adalah upah kuli Jawa jauh lebih murah daripada upah kuli Cina (Breman, 1997:66-67). Gelombang migrasi orang Jawa pasca Indonesia merdeka kian ramai. Orang-orang Jawa khususnya yang berasal dari Provinsi Jawa Tengah dan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta banyak yang bermigrasi, merantau ke Tanah Sumatera Utara. Maka tidak heran jika banyak sekali berdiri kampung-kampung orang Jawa di Sumatera Utara. Salah satunya Desa Kolam yang berada di Kecamatan Percut Sei Tuan, Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Mereka, yakni orang-orang Jawa membawa serta kebudayaan dari daerah asal mereka ke tanah rantau ini, termasuk kesenian leluhur mereka.

  • Musical Practice of Malay 'Traditional'
    ARTICLE Musical Practice of Malay ‘traditional’ forms Malay Community Much has been written about the little that is known about pre 19 th century Singapore, among the recent works being the Singapore History Museum's Early Singapore 1300s - 1819: Evidence in Maps, text and Artefacts . However, references to music can be found in the classical Malay text Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals) that traces the origins and descent of Malay royalty. Although the Sejarah Melayu is a work belonging to more traditional literary genre than history, it nevertheless provides some clue to what type of music could have been performed and heard in prior to the arrival of the British. Here, mention is made of the queen of Bintan, Iskandar Shah who is said to have been the first to use or instituted the nobat , which refers to both a drum as well as a royal orchestra that performs during a ruler's coronation, Bagindalah yang pertama nobat, maka diturut oleh segala raja-raja yang di bawah angin ini. 1 The significance of the nobat lies in that it is believed that the ruler will not be accepted unless the nobat is played. More interestingly however, according to the Sejarah Melayu , Iskandar Shah was the mother of Sang Nila Utama, the founder of Singapore. 2 Excavations by historian and archaeologist John Miksic however has not revealed any musical instruments although Miksic does mention the limitation of his work owing to extraneous factors. Miksic also points out objects that have yet to be identified. Nevertheless, he does however suggest that Fort Canning was once the site of religious activity, craftsmen's workshops and a palace.
