  • Poetic Text and Melodic Text: Text-Setting in Two Song Traditions of Timor

    Philip YampolskyARTICLEAsian Music2022Cited by: 1

    Two traditions of unaccompanied singing in rural Timor—vaihoho duets of Fataluku speakers (Timor-Leste) and choral kananuk of the Southern Tetun (Timor-Leste and Indonesian Timor)—expand poetic texts by inserting vocables and extraneous words according to remarkably specific patterns of insertion and repetition. In effect there are two levels of text: that of the poem itself and that of a melodic text belonging not to the poem but to the melody. …

    Open AccessPhilip YampolskyARTICLEArchipel2015Cited by: 2References: 3

    This article identifies the principal musical traits of eastern Insulindia and investigates the extent to which these traits are also found in other parts of the archipelago. These traits include, among many others, an emphasis on vocal music (especially group singing) over instrumental music, singing in various polyphonic textures, the triple subdivision of beats, complex meters, and phrases of "irregular" length (not divisible by four). Referen…

  • Kroncong Revisited: New Evidence from Old Sources

    Philip Yampolsky, Philip B YampolskyARTICLEArchipel2010Cited by: 5

    This article looks at kroncong, the most prominent type of popular music in Indonesia in the first half of the 20th century. Though much of its history is elusive, some elements of kroncong apparently derive from Portuguese music of the 16th and 17th centuries. Earlier studies of kroncong have tended to jump straight from the 17th century to the 1960s, passing over the period of its greatest commercial success. This article concentrates on previo…

  • Can the Traditional Arts Survive, and Should They

    Philip YampolskyARTICLEIndonesia2001Cited by: 9

    What are we talking about when we use this term in Indonesia? Let me offer just a quick and simple definition here, so you know at least what I have in mind. I will phrase it (and most of this talk) in terms of music, because that is the art I know best, but I believe the essence of what I say could be applied to other arts as well. I imagine a continuum, at one end (the traditional end) of which is music that shows no obvious foreign (extra-Indo…
