Analisis Struktur Tari dan Hubungannya dengan Musik Martumba yang Disajikan oleh Siswa/i Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri 4 Pahae Julu Tapanuli Utara

Abstract

This study analyzes the structure of dance and its relationship with the music of martumba presented by the students of the 4th Pahae Julu State High School, North Tapanuli. Martumba is a traditional art of the Batak Toba community that combines elements of music and dance. The research methods used are qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through observations, interviews and recordings. The analysis of dance structures was carried out using the theory of dance structure by Sumandiyo Hadi who looked at dance by extending it into choreographic elements such as forms of motion, techniques of movement, and styles of movement. Meanwhile, the analysis of the structure of martumba music focused on vocal aspects, taking into account elements like tone scale, base tone, tone region, interval, melody formula, cadence pattern, and contour using the weighted scale theory proposed by William P. Malm. The results of the research showed that there was a close correlation between the structure of dance and music in the presentation of martumba. The dance movements are adapted to the hymns of the songs sung, creating their own uniqueness in the performance. The research also reveals the development of martumba as a means of preserving the culture and identity of the Batak Toba community, especially among the younger generation.
