Performing the Arts of Indonesia
From Agricultural Tool to Identity Symbol
For centuries the Islanders in remote Bunguran played pestle-and-mortar music with cosmological associations to lighten the chore of stamping husks off rice grain. Different villages developed their own musical syntax, terminology, and repertoire to play at domestic celebrations. Discovery of natural gas in the 1960s led to weakened communal life, while the subsequent stamping of corn and seeds instead of rice required less group energy for music…
Concepts, Terminology and Methodology in Music Performativity Research
A music performance may be defined as the live presentation of a music event by musicians and other participants or stakeholders at a given time and place, usually in the presence of an audience. The concept of music performativity, on the other hand, includes not only the artist's/artists' production of sounds and movements, persona (stage presence), competence, approach, and style, but also influential factors such as the acoustics and style of…
The Saman Gayo Lues Sitting Song-Dance and ITS Recognition as an Item of Intangible Cultural Heritage
The saman song-dance of the Aceh Gayo Lues people, who inhabit the central mountainous areas of the province of Aceh, is one of the most dramatic and famous of Indonesia's performing arts and a key symbol of Gayo cultural identity, yet it has not to date been a subject of ethnomusicological research
Musical Journeys in Sumatra
Although Sumatra is the sixth largest island in the world and home to an estimated 44 million Indonesians, its musical arts and cultures have not been the subject of a book-length study until now. Documenting and explaining the ethnographic, cultural, and historical contexts of Sumatra's performing arts, this book also traces the changes in their style, content, and reception from the early 1970s onward. The book offers a fascinating ethnographic…

Traditional and Modern Forms of Pencak Silat in Indonesia
Pencak silat (‘the art of self defence’) is a contemporary umbrella term used in Indonesia and Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia to designate the hundreds of traditional and modern martial art genres that are performed either solo or as a duel, and with or without musical accompaniment. The two components of the term designate the two parts of the one pencak silat genre: pencak, a performance art, and silat, a fighting and self defence a…
Play songs by children and their educational implications
In the broad enculturative process, children learn to sing and play the music of their particular cultural tradition, which is controlled by adults. In all cultures children are sung or taught songs by adults for children, including such songs as lullabies, nursery rhymes and songs of advice. Clearly distinguishable from this repertoire of songs for children, however, are songs by children. These are songs created by children at play for the purp…

On Metaphor and Analogy in the Concepts and Classification of Musical Instruments in Aceh
Artists, scholars and audiences in Aceh, the northernmost province of Sumatra, conceive of their percussive, wind and string instruments as symbolising Aceh's "glorious past" and attach a variety of metaphorical and analogous meanings to them. Implicit in the culture, and formulated explicitly by Acehnese scholars, is a classification that divides the instruments at the most general level into three main categories, or metaphorical socio-historic…
Some Implications of Local Concepts of Space in the Dance, Music, and Visual Arts of Aceh
Design in Acehnese dance, music, and visual arts is guided by four general concepts of space. Theupstream-downstreamconcept, governed by the centuries-old tendency to travel to the forests upstream and the coastal towns downstream, is associated with Animist-Hindu-Buddhist mysticism and commercial success respectively, resulting in methods of creating arts and crafts that belong either to upstream or downstream areas or both (in the latter case, …
Debates about and recent effects of globalisation on music in Australia
This essay takes as its point of departure a critical review of Culture in Australia: Policies, Publics and Programs, edited by Tony Bennett and David Carter (2ooi). Its cultural studies approach, particularly as related to Australian interests, makes this an important book for readers of Musicology Australia. I shall therefore recount the book's main arguments at some length, referring to other related literature by authors who have published on…

Catherine Ellis (1935–1996)
I first met Cath Ellis (née Caughie) in the late 1960s when she was working for the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies at the Elder Conservatorium, University of Adelaide. At the time she and her husband Max were making field trips to Ernabella and other areas of northern South Australia where the Pitjantjara people lived. It was largely her interest in the area that inspired my own interest, field trip, and subsequent publications on Pit…
