Important Means

The recognition of topoi, i.e. traditional formulae, is an important means of musical analysis. To illustrate this, the paper discusses the types of the battaglia and the pastoral in Bach’s Cantata Halt im Gedächtnis Jesum Christ, and briefly enumerates different types of allusions to jazz in 20th-century compositions by Stravinsky, Milhaud, Blacher, Tippet, and Zimmermann. Then it raises the possibility of an analysis of topoi in Bartók’s music in four main categories. It considers Bartók’s musical quotations from Bach to Shostakovich; the chorale as special topos appearing in Mikrokosmos, in the Concerto for Orchestra, in the Adagio religioso of the Third Piano Concerto; the topos-like employment of the tritone; and finally the idea of a Bartókian Arcadia in the Finale of Music for Strings, and the integration of bird song in the Adagio religioso.

AbstractThis paper is an analysis study on Dangdanggula Degung Song viewed with Antagonistic Dualism theory by Jakob Sumardjo. The song, textually, has a strong and dynamic character. To verify public views (especially the community of Tembang Sunda Cianjuran) that Dangdanggula Degung Song has a strong and dynamic character, the song has been tried to be analyzed from the point of ornament position and the contour of the melody. The result of this musical analysis study is then interpreted referring to the theory of Antagonistic Dualism by Jakob Sumardjo. Based on this interpretation, a paradoxical phenomenon was found as an illustration of Tritangtu pattern of Sundanese people. This is the subject matter to be discussed in this paper.Keywords: ornament, Dangdanggula Degung song, Tembang Sunda Cianjuran AbstrakTulisan ini merupakan kajian analisis terhadap lagu Dangdanggula Degung ditinjau berdasarkan teori Dualisme Antagonistik Jakob Sumardjo.

Structural Levels

The paper aims to compare musical language with verbal language, creating a new perspective on music and natural language. The three categories of linguistics, phonology, syntax and semantics are analyzed. Bernstein highlights the analogies between the linguistic categories and music, researching the same three components of linguistics in music. The possibility of applying the transformational grammar procedures to the musical text is studied. In the second part of the paper, the authors investigate the method of analysis based on harmony and counterpoint, differentiating several structural levels conceived by the theoretical musician H. Schenker. Schenkerian analyzes are a relatively recent appearance in the field of musical analysis, which proposes as an innovation in the field of musical analysis the structural vision of musical discourse.
