12020-12-11T14:11:02+00:00Repertoire: Sariak Laweh July 25, 201620List of repertoire at Malam Bagurau, Sariak Lawehplain2021-05-12T19:19:38+00:00This 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.
Musical Item: Imbauan Saluang
Musical Item: Imbauan Singgalang
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.
Song: "Singgalang Alai [New]": the tune was identified in my notes as "Singgalang Alai." I listened to the recording and worked on lyrics with Martis, who identified the tune in this way.
