Revised: 2021-03-23. Accepted: 2021-04-26 Abstract This research aims to unveil the types, size, figures, and functions of musical instruments carved as reliefs of Kalasan Temple as a way to revitalize the music from the 8th century. This research implements heuristic methods with Panofsky’s iconology analysis in three steps, which are pre- iconography, iconography, and iconology to analyse the reliefs of the Temple. The researchers validated the findings through forum group discussion with the Cultural Heritage Preservation Board of Yogyakarta. The findings show that (1) the relief of musical instruments in Kalasan temple is located on the head of Kala; (2) the musical instruments on the head are two wind in- struments made of shells and a stringed instrument named vina; (3) there are two figures of musi- cians carved, which are two wind instruments players and a player of stringed instruments. The figures are depicted as heavenly creatures namedGandharva ; (4) the measurement shows that the wind instruments have 35.98 cm length and 12.85 cm width, another one has 23.13 cm length and 12.85 cm width. Meanwhile, the stringed instrument has a length of 92.52 cm and 12.85 cm width; and (5) the musical instruments were performed to worship the Goddess of Tara.

  • Terminology of Art Music in Ottoman Turkish and Modern Turkish Lexicography (19Th-21St Century)
    TERMINOLOGY OF ART MUSIC IN OTTOMAN TURKISH AND MODERN TURKISH LEXICOGRAPHY (19TH-21ST CENTURY). Agata Pawlina Jagiellonian University Abstract In this paper the author presents preliminary conclusions concerning changes in forms (in respect of orthography and morphology) and semantics of musical terms in Ottoman Turkish and modern Turkish lexicography. Selected dictionaries (including mono- and bilingual, general and specialized ones) from the period between the 19th and 21st century had been analyzed. This period of time is particularly interesting for establishing how a) Turkish lexicographic works reflect the Westernization of high- culture music of the late Ottoman Empire and the young Republic of Turkey and b) differences between art music of the Ottoman and European traditions are perceived nowadays. By presenting a terminological analysis of words considered to be not only basic musicological terms but also a part of natural language (‘singer’, ‘piano’, ‘kanun’) the author unveils some of the issues associated with the translation of Turkish musical terms into European languages and vice-versa. Those problems arise from the duality and hybridity which exist in contemporary Turkish musical culture. Its older part, the so-called classical/traditional art music (tur. Türk sanat müziği or Osmanlı/Türk klasik müziği) emerged at the turn of the 17th century, as a part of a Middle Eastern art musical tradition. Later on, during modernizing efforts conducted in the declining Ottoman Empire in the 19th century, European art music had been incorporated along with its international, translingual terminology. As a result of such duality, interesting phenomena are being observed in modern Turkish vocabulary concerning art music.

  • Music: the Case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY
    from Popular Music 1, CambridgeUniversity Press 1981 Cross -cultural perspectives in popular music: the case of Afghanistan by JOHN BAILY The problem of definition It is inevitable that the first issue of this yearbook will raise questions about the use of the term 'popular music'. I do not believe that this question is going to be easy to answer and, as a precaution, I think we should regard quick and seemingly clearcut solutions with suspicion. In fact, we may eventually have to operate with intuitive, poorly defined and rather elastic definitions of popular music. Before we resort to that expedient, however, the problem of definition must be considered and discussed from various points of view. The editors have offered the following two definitions (the number- ing is mine): (1)From one point of view 'popular music' exists in any stratified society. It is seen as the music of the mass of the people ... as against that of an élite. (2) From another point of view there is at the very least a significant qualita- tive change, both in the meaning which is felt to attach to the term and in the processes to which the music owes its life, when a society undergoes indus- trialisation. From this point of view popular music is typical of societies with a relatively highly developed division of labour and a clear distinction between producers and consumers, in which cultural products are created largely by professionals, sold in a mass market and reproduced through mass media. (P. i above) The first of these definitions is very general, the second very specific.

Natalia Djalilova*1 *Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts, Chishinau, Republic of Moldova Summary This article analyzes the piano Trio INO-3 V.

This article assumes to define first of all value of the considered Trio INO-3 in the context of all area of chamber-instrumental music of V. Rotaru, as the last composition of the composer in this genre sphere. The article also focuses on the neo-folklore features of the composer's style and their harmonious combination with the classical traditions typical of the trio of Russian and Western European composers. As for the classical traditions, the Trio is a three-part cycle with a characteristic tempo dramaturgy: I. Moderato II. Lento e molto lamento III.

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.
