| dc.description.abstract | Manghuling is a composition based on research on the folk tale of Si Boru Deang
Namora. This folk tale originates from the cultural tradition of the community in
Huta Silalahi. The story tells about the life of a woman, who is a descendant of a
king, and her deep love for her stepbrother, Raja Tambun. Since childhood until
adulthood, Deang Namora took care of Raja Tambun with love and care as if he
was her own sibling. Various events happened in the story until Raja Tambun left
to search for his birth mother, Siboru Nailing, leaving Deang Namora with a deep
sorrow. This folk tale used to be frequently told by parents to their children,
especially those who are descendants of the Silalahi clan. However, nowadays the
story is rarely told and almost forgotten. Therefore, the creator wants to revive the
folk tale of Si Boru Deang Namora and retell it through a musical composition.
Manghuling, in this musical composition, is a sound that serves as a reminder of
the life story (folk tale of Siboru Deang Namora). In order to uncover the social
values embedded in the folk tale, the creator uses a theoretical approach and
analyzes the symbolic meaning through semiotics proposed by Ferdinand de
Saussure. As for data collection, the creator uses interview and observation
methods. Besides research methods, the creator also uses creativity to develop and
arrange the composition. The concept of music presentation in this work combines
traditional Batak Toba instruments and Western instruments. The result of this
research-based art is a musical composition consisting of three parts: (i) Mararga,
(valuable) (ii) Marsimbur,(drizzling) and (iii) Marpabue. (Yield results) These
three musical compositions are titled "MANGHULING." Literally, manghuling
means "to sound," but in meaning, it can be interpreted as a reaction that arises from
a strong emotional pressure or situation between two people. | en_US |
