Procedures Part 1 – Setting the Scene Indonesia: One Country, Many Parts 1. In Part 1, we will explore the musical traditions of another country and culture. We are going to Indonesia. Using the MIM-provided map (ES_MU_Indonesia_MAP), we will have students identify the relative location of Indonesia. (Questions to elicit this information are: Who knows where Indonesia is? Indonesia is part of what continent? Asia. In what region of the world is Indonesia found? Southeast Asia. What type of land mass is Indonesia? Indonesia is an archipelago, a group of 17,508 islands (6,000 inhabited) stretching from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Now, among this group of over 17,000 islands is the island of Java, the focus of this lesson. Today, we are learning about Javanese gamelan. 2. According to interest level and time parameters, some geographic facts about Indonesia are provided below to be shared with the class. The point of this discussion is to familiarize students with Central Java, illustrate the cultural diversity of Indonesia, and place Javanese gamelan in its musical context—not to become sidetracked in requiring students to memorize all of the details. • Indonesia is an archipelago, a string of islands that spreads over 3,400 miles. • Over 200 million people live in Indonesia (242,968,342, to be exact). If we compare that figure to the United States, do we have more or less population than Indonesia? (The United States has the third largest population in the world, and Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world.) 3 ES_MU_Gamelan • The 3 largest Indonesian islands are Sumatra, Java, and Bali. Indonesia’s capital is Jakarta, on the northwest tip of Java, the country’s most populated island. 3. The United States of America has fifty states, each with its recognizable characteristics, and Indonesia is similar. Indonesia’s many islands have cultural and geographic characteristics that make each a little different from the others. 4. Similar to American students and young adults, Indonesians listen to and play all kinds of music. They have rock bands, hip-hop, jazz, and many other types of music, too. They go to school and attend concerts. Indonesians see movies and watch music videos just like we do. In fact, many Indonesians listen to the same music we do. 5. Also like the United States, Indonesia has musical traditions that date back hundreds of years. (Scholars have found stone carvings depicting gamelan instruments on a Buddhist temple in Java dating back to 800 BCE, some 2800 years ago, so we suspect the gamelan tradition is even older than that.) Among these musical traditions is gamelan music. While there are important differences in types of gamelan across Indonesia, we are talking about the type of gamelan that comes from the area of Central Java. We will call this Javanese gamelan. 6. The name gamelan comes from the Javanese term gamel, a verb meaning “to strike” or a noun meaning “hammer.” 7. When we talk about “gamelan,” we are referring to a set of instruments that were created to be played together for a specific musical style or genre. (Ask students to name other genres of music they can recall.) This ensemble, also called gamelan, is a unique combination of several categories of musical instruments found around the world. How they are used collectively in Central Java helps create Javanese gamelan musical culture. While gamelan began solely as an instrumental ensemble, over time vocal music became an important part of the gamelan experience. Soon, students will view the ES_MU_Gamelan_ppt. This presentation is an introduction to Javanese gamelan and includes images of musicians, musical instruments, and shadow puppetry, which are all an important contextual part of the gamelan experience students will have at MIM. 8. A Powerpoint presentation is available that prepares elementary school students to understand the geographical location of Indonesia; to preview the musical instruments of the world, in particular, the Javanese gamelan at MIM; and to view shadow puppetry in context. Photographic and sound examples shall include the gong, kenong, ketuk, saron, bonang, gambang, kendhang, suling, rebab, and siter. In addition, information regarding the wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) and the dalang (puppeteer) is included. 9. All the instruments you will be seeing at MIM can be categorized into families of instruments. We learned about these categories in the sound science lesson about musical instruments. The five categories were aerophones, chordophones, idiophones, membranophones, and electrophones. (If a review is needed, see ES_SC_Sound_ppt.) The 4 ES_MU_Gamelan educator writes the names on the board as they are introduced, reminding students that the categories were developed depending on how sound vibrations are created with each instrument. Elicit examples of each for review, drawing on what they see in the classroom. 10. Now that we have more background information about the location of the country of Indonesia, Central Java, and the Javanese gamelan, let’s preview our Powerpoint presentation (ES_MU_Gamelan_ppt). As you view this, you will see Javanese Indonesians playing gamelan. Look closely at the instruments they play. We will be learning some of the names of the instruments later. In the meantime, think about how this ensemble is the same and/or different from performing groups we are familiar with. We can discuss this point after seeing the presentation again. 11. The educator leads a guided viewing of the ES_MU_Gamelan_ppt. This Powerpoint presentation shows a short media

  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

One of them is deer head sculpture. Even though it is an imported culture, the deer head sculpture can be easily accepted by the Javanese people because references regarding deer story have been found since the old time. Even though related to deer are quite common, there has not been any research on the shift in the meaning of deer in the context of Javanese culture. The method used in this study is qualitative re- search with the paradigm interpretation. The results of the analysis found that the deer head sculpture, which was originally a preserved and displayed ravin at home as a symbol of prestige, has a connection with Hindu culture, Majapahit culture, Mataram dynasty royal regalia, and Javanese (commonner) Javanese culture. In the context of to- day's modern culture, deer head sculptures are displayed in today's interiors to present a traditional atmosphere and for the sake of nostalgia Keywords meaning, deer head sculture, Javanese house atmosphere of the past.

No one tends offhand to associate gamelan with MIT. but there it is. Professor Evan Ziporyn has been directing the gong kebyar ensemble Gamelan Galak Tika at MIT since 1993, and I was an active member from 1994 until 1997. Unfortunately the pressure of my studies at Wesleyan has not allowed me to play with Galak Tika as much as I would like in the past few years. For the three years of my tenure with Galak Tika we were blessed with the artistry of the Balinese husband and wife team of I Nyoman Catra and Desak Made Suarti Laksmi. The magnificent teaching and performance prowess of Evan, Catra and Desak formed the basis of my introduction to gamelan music. In 1997 I came to Wesleyan University to study for the degree of Master of Arts in Music, of which this thesis is a part. Here at Wesleyan I have had the great honor of studying with I. M. Harjito and Sumarsam, two Javanese artists. I sincerely thank them for broadening my awareness of the multifaceted natures of Indonesian music and for sharing with me the great beauty of the central Javanese court gamelan.

  • Secret Aerophones?
    Secret Aerophones? The extent to which the contained air inside the body of an instrument is a dominant, even a predominant characteristic of its sound is something that has been concerning me for some time. It is not, so far as I know, something that has been studied in any detail, save spasmodically in a few special cases mentioned below. For example it can be demonstrated easily that slit drums, although nominally idiophones, function as giant Helmholtz resonators. If one strikes the drum while progressively occluding the slit with the hand, the pitch will drop as one reduces the area of open hole. This was first established by Raymond Clausen in his fieldwork on Malekula, when the people he was studying tried to produce a drum with the lowest possible sound by making the slit as large as possible, and discovered to their horror that the sound was much higher than usual. Stamping tubes are nominally idiophones but the pitch they produce when stamped on the ground is that of the contained air column. This can be demonstrated, as well as by listening to the type of sound, by blowing across the open end. The same may also be true of tubular bells, a type of idiophone that has not yet been adequately studied. The better made English hunting and coach horns produce the same pitch when struck as when blown; this is presumably done to reinforce their sound. New Guinea dance drums are clearly drums, but it is clear to the ear that the pitches they produce are those of the contained air column, not those of the membrane and that they also function as stamping tubes.

Whereas in most societies musi- cal genres are in the first place classified by social criteria, it is undeniable that also the technicalities of the music play a role: audiences hear the differences between, for instance, jaipongan and degung kawih perfor- mances. This is because these musics are produced in different ways, using different instruments, tone material, musical structure, etc. Alfred Gell made an important contribution to the anthropological study of art by pointing out that the production of art is a technological process. He mentions that there are ‘beautiful’ things, like beautiful women, beautiful horses and a beautiful sunset. However, art objects are made ‘beautiful’ by human beings and this requires technology. He criti- cizes sociologists like Pierre Bourdieu, who do not really look at an art object as a concrete product of human ingenuity, but only elaborately look at the represented symbolic meanings (Gell 1999:162). In contrast, Gell proposes that anthropologists should look at art as a ‘component of technology.’ We call something an object of art if it is the outcome of a technological process, the kind of processes in which artists are skilled.

  • Forbidden Wealth (Pesugihan) by Tjitro Waloejo in Surakarta
    The Aesthetics and Meaning of Traditional Paintings: Forbidden Wealth (Pesugihan) by Tjitro Waloejo in Surakarta Rahmanu Widayat1, Mohammad Khizal Mohamed Saat2*, Sigit Purnomo Adi1 and Sayid Mataram1 1Faculty of Arts and Design, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta, INDONESIA 2School of the Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, MALAYSIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Published online: 31 December 2020 To cite this article: Rahmanu Widayat, Mohammad Khizal Mohamed Saat, Sigit Purnomo Adi and Sayid Mataram. 2020. The aesthetics and meaning of traditional paintings: Forbidden wealth (pesugihan) by Tjitro Waloejo in Surakarta. Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse 19: 29–45. https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2020.19.3 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2020.19.3 ABSTRACT At present, Javanese culture is increasingly less powerful in facing the changing times, where art that was once familiar in people’s daily lives has slowly begun to disappear. But Surakarta was fortunate to have Tjitro Waloejo, a traditional painter who died in 1990. He perpetuated the event of collecting illicit wealth (pesugihan) in the form of paintings as a life lesson portraying how some Javanese gathered their wealth under an agreement with Satan. The problem is what the paintings of Tjitro Waloejo are like, and what they really mean. The approach in this study is the concept of “wangun” (beautiful) which the writers explore from Javanese culture to study the art objects (barang kagunan). “Wangun” or beauty of the Javanese becomes (1) the form of “wangun” (beautiful) based on the perspective of the Javanese, (2) the appearance of “ora wangun” (not beautiful) or “aèng” (strange), (3) the form of “wangun” based on the king’s legitimacy or trend, and (4) the forbidden “wangun.” The important findings in the study of “pesugihan” painting reveal that there are perpetuated events of collecting illicit wealth (pesugihan) in the form of paintings as life lessons on how some Javanese gather their wealth under an agreement with demons.
