  Composer: Unknown.
  Type of song: Satangah Tiang but as Philip Yampolsky explains "Padang Magek can be either happy [gembira] or "half-happy" [satangah tiang, as listed here] but cannot be sad [ratok]. The pantun the singers choose make it half-happy in this performance" (Yampolsky, 1994, liner notes).  
  
  Place affiliations: 
  • Nagari: Padang Magek.
  • Kecamatan: Rambatan.
  • Luak: Tanah Data.
  • Darek or Rantau: Darek.
  Source: Te E's List of Songs, Mardjani's List of Songs.
  
  Song Structure: The pantun used for this tune are 4 lines in total, split into the two halves: batang and isi. Each half is 2 lines of text. The tune is somewhat unique in that each line of the pantun is repeated. The melodic line, however, is slightly different on the repeats. Either vocables are inserted or certain syllables of the pantun are extended, both are techniques to make the pantun fit the melodic line. 
  
  One other special feature of this song is that in delivery, it often involves an atypical method of delivery, where the padendang combine forces singing momentarily as a duo (see Rendition: "Padang Magek" on Night Music of West Sumatra) or the second padendang takes over mid-verse to complete the end of the last line (see Rendition: "Padang Magek" 07/29/16). 

  Lyrics

  As presented in Sekilas Lintas Dendang Minang (57-58). They are presented as stock verses, rather than accompanying any specific rendition of the song. 

  Pantun 1 

  Minangkabau
  Masaklah padi Padang Magek 2x
  Disabik anaklah tuan oi ndeh lai mudo-mudo 2x
  Kasiah sayang mintak dijawek 2x
  Kok lai di dalam lai tuan oi ndeh lai hati juo 2x

  Indonesian
  Masaklah padi Padang Magek 2x
  Disabit mak lah tuan oi ndeh lah muda-muda  2x
  Kasih sayang minta dijawat (diterima)
  Kalau ada di dalam lai tuan ndeh hati juga 2x

  Pantun 2 

  Minangkabau
  Nan manuai baduo-duo 2x
  Paneh mamanggang lah tuan oi ndeh lai tangah hari 2x
  Hati baralah kaibonyo 2x
  Yo nan baganggam lah tuan oi ganggam tak jadi 2x

  Indonesian
  Yang menuai berdua-dua 2x
  Panas membakar lah tuan oi ndeh lai tangah hari 2x
  Hati bukan main kan hibanya (sedihnya) 2x
  Yo nan bergenggam lah tuan oi genggam tidak jadi 2x

  Performance: Suayan, July 29, 2016
  Context: Malam Bagurau for a wedding
  People:
  • Padendang:
    • Gadih Santan
    • Si Sri
  • Tukang Saluang: Man PP
  Duration: 4.30
  
  
  Structure: This rendition has 3 pantun. Most significantly, the place in which the second padendang joins is different from the rendition on Night Music of West Sumatra. On that recording, the second padendang joins at the repeat of the last line and they clearly sing together. I expect this is clear because each padendang had an invididual microphone. At this performance, however, they shared a microphone, passing it back and forth. It is not clear that both are singing. In this rendition, the second padendang starts halfway through the last line, not at the beginning of the last line. The effect is somewhat similar, but not quite the same. Listen for the difference in sounds of the two padendang here: Santan has a sharper, more penetrating voice. Her ornaments are sharp and attacking. Si Sri, in comparison, has a smoother, more rounded voice and her ornaments are also more rounded. 
  
  Lyrics: to come later.
