ceremony at Sibolga with two main points focused on melody and text structure.
It is a folk song and defines as advices given to a married couple in traditional
Pesisir marriage ceremony. There are two parts of ceremony which dampeng is
performed namely mangarak marapule and mampelok tampek basanding. While
performing, it is delivered by singing without any musical instrument (a capella)
and classifying as responsorial style or call-and-response. The performer is a
group of men consists of 7-12 with two part of singer groups. They are solo leader
and group chorus.
The research of dampeng used two theories: semiotic in order to analyze
the text of dampeng, and weighted scale to analyze the melody of dampeng. This
research used qualitative method. For accomplishing it, some work processes have
been executed. There are literature study, observation, interview, recording or
documentation activities, transcription, and laboratory analysis. This research is
concentrated to the informants opinions in emic study context. Nevertheless, I
also support it by interpreting based on scientific principle in etic study context.
According to the methods and techniques mentioned before, 2 research
results are able to harvest. (1) Text of dampeng is singing by dampeng singers in
Pesisir language spontaneously. It is reserved with pantun form consist of isi
(content couplet) and sampiran (first two lines couplet). Generally, text contains
advices given to a couple married. (2) Melody structure of dampeng is classified
into strophic form that has the same melody or almost with new text or different
text. Therefore, it is called as logogenic strophic. Its scale is classified into
heptatonic (seven-tone) scale with 2 kinds of intervals. Its rhythm is classified
into isometric with 4 equal units. | en_US |
