  • Innovative Approaches to Melodic Elaboration in Contemporary Tabuh Kreasibaru
    INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO MELODIC ELABORATION IN CONTEMPORARY TABUH KREASIBARU by PETER MICHAEL STEELE B.A., Pitzer College, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2007 © Peter Michael Steele, 2007 ABSTRACT The following thesis has two goals. The first is to present a comparison of recent theories of Balinese music, specifically with regard to techniques of melodic elaboration. By comparing the work of Wayan Rai, Made Bandem, Wayne Vitale, and Michael Tenzer, I will investigate how various scholars choose to conceptualize melodic elaboration in modern genres of Balinese gamelan. The second goal is to illustrate the varying degrees to which contemporary composers in the form known as Tabuh Kreasi are expanding this musical vocabulary. In particular I will examine their innovative approaches to melodic elaboration. Analysis of several examples will illustrate how some composers utilize and distort standard compositional techniques in an effort to challenge listeners' expectations while still adhering to indigenous concepts of balance and flow. The discussion is preceded by a critical reevaluation of the function and application of the western musicological terms polyphony and heterophony. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents : iii List of Tables ....

Cohen Copyright© 2011 by Rachel Clare Donaldson All Rights Reserved For Mary, Laura, Gertrude, Elizabeth And Domenica ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would not have been able to complete this dissertation had not been for the support of many people. Historians David Carlton, Thomas Schwartz, William Caferro, and Yoshikuni Igarashi have helped me to grow academically since my first year of graduate school. From the beginning of my research through the final edits, Katherine Crawford and Sarah Igo have provided constant intellectual and professional support. Gary Gerstle has guided every stage of this project; the time and effort he devoted to reading and editing numerous drafts and his encouragement has made the project what it is today. Through his work and friendship, Ronald Cohen has been an inspiration. The intellectual and emotional help that he provided over dinners, phone calls, and email exchanges have been invaluable. I greatly appreciate Larry Isaac and Holly McCammon for their help with the sociological work in this project. I also thank Jane Anderson, Brenda Hummel, and Heidi Welch for all their help and patience over the years. I thank the staffs at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the Kentucky Library and Museum, the Archives at the University of Indiana, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (particularly Todd Harvey) for their research assistance.

  • "Recent Development of Ethnomusicological Studies in Indonesia After Kunts Visits in 1930'S" Abstract
    "Recent Development of Ethnomusicological Studies in Indonesia after Kunts Visits in 1930's" By Triyono Bramantyo (ISI Yogyakarta, Indonesia) Abstract It was a remarkable effect scientifically that soon after the late Kunst visits in Indonesia during the early 1930s that the development of non-Western music studies all over the world had had become so quickly developed. The name Jaap (or Jacob) Kunst is always associated to the study of the gamelan music of Indonesia for since then, after one of his PhD students, so-called Mantle Hood, completed his study on the topic of “The Nuclear Theme as a Determinant of Patet in Javanese Music” in 1954, the gamelan studies and practice has become developed throughout the world best known universities. Accordingly, in the USA alone there are now more than 200 gamelan groups have been established. The ideas and the establishment of ethnomusicology would not be happened if Jaap Kunst, as an ethnologist, had never been visited Indonesia in his life time. His visit to Indonesia was also at the right time when the comparative musicology have no longer popular amongst the Western scholars. His works have become world-widely well known. Amongst them were written whilst he was in Indonesia; i.e. the Music of Bali (1925 in Dutch), the Music of Java (originally in Dutch in 1934, last English edition 1973), Music in New Guinea (1967), Music in Nias (1939), Music in Flores (1942) and numerous other books, publications, recordings and musical instruments collections that made Jaap Kunst as the most outstanding scholar on the study of Indonesian musical traditions.

  • Performing Arts of Indonesia (Performance Education and Archive)1 by I Made Bandem
    PERFORMING ARTS OF INDONESIA (PERFORMANCE EDUCATION AND ARCHIVE)1 BY I MADE BANDEM I. INTRODUCTION Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world. It consists of roughly 17,000 islands, 6,000 of which, covering 60% of its area size, are populated. As expressed in the caption of the coat of arms “Bhineka Tunggal Ika” (meaning Unity in Diversity), Indonesia has extremely diverse population, with different historical and socio-cultural backgrounds. There are probably over 400 ethnic groups found in the island with over 300 ethnic languages. Currently, the population of Indonesia is about 220 million people. As a nation, Indonesia is bound together by one common language, known as Bahasa Indonesia.2 Due to the historical and socio-cultural diversity within the population, each ethnic group of Indonesia has developed their own unique visual and performing arts. Presently, there are dozens of style and hundreds of form of performing arts, which most of them have been survived and inherited over generation after generation, while some of them are newly created. Even though, they have different stages of development, those performing arts still in existence simultaneously. Additionally, there are many evidence of cultural assimilation between the Indonesian culture with some foreign culture such as the cultural elements of India, China, Arabic countries, Portuguese and Western continents. Through adaptation, these foreign elements blended themselves with local cultures in which enrich the original cultures. As a result the Javanese and the Balinese Wayang Wong dance drama is quite different from the Kathakali of India, the Sumatranese and Rudat dances of Lombok are not found in Arabic countries, and Keroncong music of Indonesia is only similar to that of Portuguese music.

  • Gong Luwang: Sebuah Gamelan Sakral Dari Desa Kesiut
    GONG LUWANG: SEBUAH GAMELAN SAKRAL DARI DESA KESIUT F.A. Woody Satya Danna StafPengajar Fakultas Seni Pertunjukan Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana Abstract Music is one way understand something social and society and there is no music types also which free of signified. Gong luwang kept in Kesiut village, Kerambitan sub district, Tabanan district, Bali Island meant as a type sacred game/an. Not merely the physical, the repertoire and the sounds appear from the musical instrument is signed as the sacred one. As an artifact, besides still be taken care of by area public Pura Batukaru, gong luwang which one of its component is pathet (modes) and the knobbed gong which made from metal will become medium to express its staging position in the music culture arena in South-East Asia. Keywords: Bali, gong luwang, game/an, sacred, South-East Asia music culture A. Pendahuluan Menurut I Made Bandem1 (1982: 1), di Bali terdapat kurang lebih 26 jenis gamelan yang masing-masing memiliki instrumentasi, orkestrasi, dan fungsi yang berbeda-beda. Dari jumlah tersebut, persebaran gong di wilayah ini tidaklah merata, ada sejum lah gamelanlgong/gambelan yang hampir dan sudah punah, dan ada pula yang berkembang pesat. Bahkan gam elan jenis baru terus-menerus muncul. Salah satu dari berbagai jenis gamelan yang hidup di Bali adalah gambelan Luwang atau sering disebut sebagai gong Luwang yang salah satunya tersimpan di desa Kesiut, kecarnatan Kerambitan, kabupaten Tabanan. Ada beberapa hal yang menjadi alasan ketertarikan saya memilih objek ini. Alasan pertama, gong Luwang adalah 2 gambelan sakral. Menurut Bandem , gamelan ini hanya tinggal 5 (lima) perangkat saja di seluruh pulau Bali, yaitu di desa Krobokan kabupaten Badung, Kesiut di kabupaten Tabanan, Tangkas di kabupaten Klungkung, dan dua di kabupaten Gianyar tepatnya di Seseh (Singapadu) dan Gelulung (Sakawati).

Carmencifa Palermo Date: 1 — ABSTRACT Towards the Embodiment of the Mask. Balinese Topeng in Contemporary Practice. This thesis explores the process of mask characterisation in Bali as expressed in performances and in the views of individuals. The polyphony of voices of performers, officials, cultural analysts and village audiences gives multifarious expression to a sense of cultural identity. This identity is in continuous flux, as topeng masked dance drama reflects the way in which Bali itself is changing in the contemporary world. Starting with an analysis of the performative principles of masked dance-drama practice, with each chapter I analyse a broader context of the relationship between these basic performative principles and daily life. The performers' voices interweave with written discourse on Balinese culture, depicted as in increasing need of protection.
