Abstract

This research paper aims to discuss the Analysis of Textual Meaning and Musical Structure in the songs Ketabo – ketabo, Siboru enggan, and Balun – balun Bide, within the Mandailing – Angkola community in South Tapanuli. The research techniques used by the author are field work and desk work, as proposed by Bruno Netll. The author uses a qualitative method by conducting observations, interviews, and audio and video recordings. To analyze the textual meaning contained in the song, the author uses Ferdinand De Saussure's semiotic theory regarding denotative and connotative meanings, or figurative and literal meanings. To obtain the results of the Musical Structure Analysis, the author uses Bruno Netll's theory to describe the musical content found in those songs, namely, the scale, tempo, phrase of the melodic contour, intervals, and range. Research findings reveal that the songs "Ketabo – ketabo," "Siboru enggan," and "Balun – balun bide" tell stories about the beauty of nature, togetherness, and journeys.
