12020-09-14T12:10:23+00:00Introductory Material: "Imbauan Singgalang"11This item is used preceding a sequence of Singgalang songs.plain2021-06-29T23:55:21+00:00Translation of Title: "Introduction of Singgalang." Explanation: This is not technically a song, but the musical item used before a series of Singgalang songs, for example, at the beginning of the performance or after a break, where they often resume with a series of Singgalang songs. It is much shorter in length than a typical dendang. Composer: Unknown. Type of song: Singgalang. Place affiliations: Like songs with "Singgalang" in the title, this item is affiliated with the place, the nagari and mountain called Singgalang.
Nagari: Singgalang
Kecamatan: X Koto.
Luak: Tanah Data.
Darek or Rantau: Darek.
Structure: The presentation of this introductory material varies in length, depending on how many padendang participate. Sometimes it is just one padendang--an obligatory delivery of the material--and other times each padendang takes a turn delivering an utterance. This is a loose format. There are examples where it's stretched out considerably, and other times when it is succinct. Compare the two examples below by the same singer in the same performance.
