Description: Martis told me during the performance [link to Performance: Pariangan] where we heard this song performed, that "Jambatan Tangah" resembles two other songs from this area, "Suntiang Patah Batikam" and "Tigo Giriak." They are similar in the particular style of ornamentation (personal communication, Feburary 10, 2004). The ornamentation used in these songs, then, provides a link between musical aesthetics and regional identity. This connection also suggests that a trained listener could hear a song and have a sense of which region it is from based on melodic content and other factors.
