  • Analisa Gaya Lagu Klasik Gambang Kromong “Pobin
    JURNAL NARADA ISSN 2477-5134 Volume 6 Edisi 3 Desember 2019 ANALISA GAYA LAGU KLASIK GAMBANG KROMONG “POBIN KONG JI LOK’ Oleh: Imam Firmansyah Program Studi Desain Komunikasi Visual, Fakultas Desain dan Seni Kreatif Universitas Mercu Buana [email protected] ABSTRAK Keberadaan repertoar lagu klasik gambang kromong pada masa kini sangat memprihatinkan. Puluhan lagu klasik gambang kromong banyak berkembang pada akhir abad ke-18, akan tetapi di masa kini hanya tersisa satu lagu yang masih mungkin untuk dimainkan, yaitu Pobin Kong Ji Lok”. Ini pun hanya pemain-pemain sepuh saja yang bisa memainkannya. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka perlu dilakukan pendokumentasian yang disertai dengan analisa gaya musik terhadap lagu “Pobin Kong Ji Lok”. Analisa gaya musik dilakukan dengan mendokumentasikannya dalam bentuk audio visual, mentranskripsicannya dalam bentuk notasi, kemudian dianalisa gaya musiknya melalui elemen musik yang paling menonjol, yaitu tangga nada, harmoni, sistem penalaan, ritem, dan warna suara alat musik. Kata kunci: gambang kromong, lagu dalem, Betawi. ABSTRACT Nowadays, the existing repertoire of the classic songs of gambang kromong is very apprehensive. Dozens of gambang kromong's classical songs developed comprehensively at the end of the 18th century, but in the present, there is only one song that is still possible to play, namely "Pobin Kong Ji Lok". Even, as a matter of fact, this song can only be played by an old music player. Based on the aforementioned problems, it is necessary to conduct a documentation of "Pobin Kong Ji Lok" song, associated with an analysis of its musical style. "Pobin Kong Ji Lok" will be documented in the form of audiovisual, transcribed in the form of notation, then analyzed its style of music through the most prominent musical elements, including the musical scale, harmony, tuning system, rhythm, and the timbre of musical instruments.

    Bali 1928: Gamelan Gong Kebyar Music from Belaluan, Pangkung, Busungbiu 2 Introduction 6 A Sketch of the Time Period of these Recordings 11 Emergence of Kebyar 29 The Balinese Gamelan Recordings from Bali, 1928: a track–by–track discussion: 33 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Belaluan, Denpasar 46 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Pangkung, Tabanan 50 Gamelan Gong Kebyar of Busungbiu, Northwest Bali 57 List of Silent Archival Films 58 Acknowledgments 61 References Cited and Further Readings * Glossary on Separate PDF File1 1 The spellings in this article follow modernized Balinese orthography of dictionaries such as Kamus Bali Indonesia, by I Nengah Medera et.al. (1990). Although this system was proposed as early as 1972 it has been applied irregularly in writings on the arts, but we have chosen to adhere to it so as to reflect a closer relationship to actual Balinese aksara ‘letters of the alphabet, language’. For instance, many words with prefixes frequently spelled pe or peng are spelled here with the prefixes pa and pang. 1 Introduction These historic recordings were made in 1928 as part of a collection of the first and only commercially–released recordings of music made in Bali prior to World War II. This diverse sampling of new and older Balinese styles appeared on 78 rpm discs in 1929 with subsequent releases for international distribution. The records were sold worldwide (or not sold, as it happened) and quickly went out of print. It was a crucial time in the island’s musical history as Bali was in the midst of an artistic revolution with kebyar as the new dominant style of music.

  • The Javanese Gamelan Kyai Madu Laras (Venerable Sweet Harmony)
    THE JAVANESE GAMELAN KYAI MADU LARAS (VENERABLE SWEET HARMONY) A gift to the Faculty of Music from The Minister of Forestry of The Republic of Indonesia H.E.SUDJARWO JEREMY MONTAGU THE BATE COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL INSTRUMENTS UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD FACULTY OF MUSIC St.Aldate’s, Oxford £ 1.00 Sixth Edition Jeremy Montagu Among the earliest evidence for the Javanese Gamelan are a few instruments found archæologically and carvings on the eighth century AD Temple of Boro- bodur, which include bonangs1, sarons and gongs. Some instruments, including the rebab and the tarompet (a shawm which is displayed in the Shawm Case), were introduced with Islam in about the 14th century, and by the 15th century gamelans existed much as they do today. An increase in the number of instru- ments has continued, and the inclusion of a full set of kenongs and kempuls is comparatively recent. There are many varieties of gamelan in Indonesia today, consisting of different types and combinations of instruments, some with instruments made of bamboo, some with instruments of bronze, others with those of iron, and some with large numbers of instruments, and some with only a few. The Gamelan Kyai Madu Laras is the classic type of Central Javanese gamelan and is a full double gamelan of high-quality bronze instruments. It came to us from Klaten, a small town halfway between the two great centres of Central Javanese gamelan, Surakarta (or Solo) and Yogyakarta (or Jogya), as a most generous gift from the Minister of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia, His Excellency Sudjarwo.

  • Konsep Multikultural Dan Etnisitas Pribumi Dalam Penelitian Seni
    Humaniora, Vol. 24, No. 2 Juni 2012: 156 - 167 HUMANIORA VOLUME 24 No. 2 Juni 2012 Halaman 156 - 167 KONSEP MULTIKULTURAL DAN ETNISITAS PRIBUMI DALAM PENELITIAN SENI Victor Ganap* ABSTRACT Traditional arts are essentially public cultural expressions, not individual expressions. They are bound by the characteristics of their respective cultures which bring with them their local wisdom. While multiculturalism acknowledges the equality of all oral traditions that have been embedded in every indigenous ethnicity, any research conducted on traditional arts should appropriately be carried out by researchers who belong to the corresponding cultural groups and have a life time experience within their own primordiality. Therefore, new concepts introduced in research into traditional arts based on multiculturalism and indigenous ethnicity play an important role in maintaining truthful corroboration of the research outcome. Keywords: multiculturalism, indigenous ethnicity, traditional arts ABSTRAK Pada hakikatnya seni tradisi merupakan sebuah ekspresi kultural sebagai subjek kolektif yang terikat oleh karakteristik ranah budaya masing-masing sehingga identitas dan nilai kearifan lokalnya turut terbawa serta. Pandangan multikultural yang menjunjung tinggi kesetaraan budaya mengakui eksistensi tradisi lisan yang melekat pada setiap etnisitas pribumi sehingga penelitian terhadap seni tradisi selayaknya dilakukan oleh peneliti pribumi yang memiliki pengalaman seumur hidup terhadap ikatan primordial budayanya.

    GENDER BARUNG, ITS TECHNIQUE AND FUNCTION IN THE CONTEXT OF JAVANESE GAMELAN* Sumarsam In the gamelan of Central Java there are three types of gender: gender panembung, 1 gender barung and gendfer panerus. The construction of these three instruments is similar. They are metallophones with bronze, iron, or brass keys suspended by cords over tube resonators. Gender panembung has six or seven keys and a range the same as the lowest section of the gender barung* 1s. Gendfcr barung usually consists of two and one-half octaves. Gender panerus has the same number of keys as gender barung but is pitched one octave higher. As a result, it overlaps gender barung by one and a half octaves. Here we are going to discuss only gender barung (hereafter referred to as gender), its technique and function in the context of the gamelan.2 Gender is generally accepted as an important instrument in the gam elan.3 45 Gending (gamelan compositions) with buka (introduction) by gender are named gending gender. In other gending, except gending bonang, 4 i f the rebab is absent from the ensemble, gender is called upon to play buka. Either the bonang barung or the gender has the right to play buka fo r gending lanearan. 5 The pitch of genddr is in the low and medium range. It produces full yet soft sounds. If gender is ab­ sent from the gamelan, the sound of the ensemble is not as full and sonorous. Thus barung (verbs, ambarung, binarung) , the second half of the full name for gender, means playing or singing together in order to create a full sound.
