Repertoire: Sariak Laweh July 25, 2016 20 List of repertoire at Malam Bagurau, Sariak Laweh plain 2021-05-12T19:19:38+00:00
This performance was unique in that of all the malam bagurau attached to weddings that I attended in 2016, it alone involved a mix of musical styles: saluang klasik, the reason I attended, saluang orgen (songs, many of which are from dendang repertoire, accompanied by saluang and synethsizer), and orgen (just a vocalist and synethsizer). If a dendang is performed on saluang orgen or orgen, it is from the gembira category, the synthesizer providing a consistent rhythmic backdrop. The timeline for this performance, therefore, has a few more categories. It represents style first and foremost so the user can appreciate the relative amounts of time in each style. Within the saluang klasik style, dendang are represented by their type. When the songs are performed in the style of saluang orgen or orgen, then the type of song is specified in the description. See the following page for analysis on relative amounts of time on each style and each type of song.
1. Musical Item: Imbauan Saluang
2. Musical Item: Imbauan Singgalang
3. Song: "Singgalang Induak"/ "Singgalang Alai [new"]: nobody identified the title for me so I don't know for sure what to call it, but as Sri was one of the performers and she used the title "Singgalang Induak" for the same tune a few days before, I expect that she would identify the tune that way.

Repertoire: Radio Republik Indonesia, January 26, 2004 9 List of repertoire at Bagurau di Udaro plain 2021-06-29T21:35:04+00:00
I recorded this performance but there were major technical difficulties (possibly interference with the radio signal) that makes the recording unusable and unlistenable. The timings presented here are purely hypothetical, except to indicate the start of sets, which I did note down. I suspect there were more songs performed than these titles (somewhat akin to the Repertoire: Radio Republik Indonesia, September 27, 2004), but I do not have record of them.
1. Introductory Material: Imbauan Saluang
2. Introductory Material: Imbauan Singgalang
3. Song: "Singgalang Alai [New]"
4. Song: "Ratok Pak Bawang"
5. Song: "Cancang Kambiang"
6. Song: "Pariaman Lamo"
7. Song: "Lubuak Sao"
8. Song: "Suntiang Patah Batikam"
9. Song: "Ramalah Hanyuik"
10. Song: "Tanjuang Balik"
11. Song: "Guguak Manitik Ameh"
12. Song: "Ratok Koto Tuo"
13. Song: "Ratok Bonjo"
14. Song: "Lawang Lamo"
This material involved an introduction to the program, reading a series of request, and three sets of dendang. I imagine the set-up was similar to the Bagurau di Udaro I witnessed some months later, where a series of request slips would be read, a set of dendang were delivered, more slips were read before the delivery of the next set.
