Musical Accompaniment

Dolalak dance is highly dependent on the power of the song lyrics, so it can be called a lyrical dance. The dancers will not be able to do perfect dance moventents only by musical accompaniment; the displacement and combination of dance movements are characterized by lyrics that accompany the songs. Thus, song lyrics have a very dominant role in the arrangement of the dance movements. Dolalak dance has approximately 64 types of movements. A one-night staging, as an illustration, usually begins with 13 types of movements, followed by a trance dance, and ends with 7 types of movements as the closing. Song lyrics in the Dolalak dance are mostly influenced by the nuances of Islamic teachings. This is proven by the presence of a lot of words and/ or terms in the song lyrics which are very close to the. Arabic words in Islamic teachings. More interestingly, as a form of folk songs used in the performance of traditional Javanese arts, the Arabic words are widely adapted to the speech or pronunciation of the local language, especially the Javanese one. As a result, the origin and meaning of certain words or terms in the lyrics are difficult to trace. However, it is understandable since sometimes words in the song lyrics are preferred to adjust particular sounds.

Conceptual Meaning

The paper studies specific characteristics of the music videos containing a choreographic component. Different viewpoints on the notion of corporality have been analysed and its significance for understanding conceptual and axiological aspects of the song text, as well as specific features of contemporary dance from the angle of its influence on the audience. Further we give a general description of the study material, which includes 20 music videos in different styles. Then the researcher gives detailed analysis of the videos in which the choreographic visual component carries out the function of illustration, symbolically conveys the conceptual meaning of the song lyrics or is in the contrast relations with it. The research has also revealed the cases of visual choreographic component performing the complementary function by way of adding extra semantic aspects to the meaning of the song, as well as the function that can be called “providing a storyline”, where the visual component is characterised by absolute novelty in relation to the verbal component or the song lyrics. Such parameters as correlation between the verbal and the visual components of a music video, functions of the choreographic visual component and the specifics of conveying conceptual information by means of dance movements in a music video have been investigated.

This analysis of language use and legislation in globalization highlights challenges to and crossings of the borders of Indonesian nationalist ideologies and local language ecologies. Through the specific workings of language and languaging in situ, here explored through three brief examples of language use and ideologies in Central Java, I analyze university English majors’ discussions of the local meaningfulness of English. The analysis demonstrates that institutional language policies are simultaneously subverted by and influential in local language hierarchies. The discussions analyzed come from the students’ written Sociolinguistics class assignments while I was their teacher and from research interviews that they participated in with me, both in which I ask participants about the borders of what can be defined as the English language, and the borders of linguistic ideologies and nationalism in contemporary Indonesia. With an intent stemming from the very origins of language policy research to generate ideas for how state apparatuses might better serve their constituents (Fishman, 1974), this information is essential for understanding the limitations and opportunities that states are instrumental in creating among their citizenries.

The article consists of three excerpts from the book Czech Folk Songs from the 60s to 80s of the 20th century by Josef Prokeš. The publication maps out the phenomenon of singer-songwriting in Czechoslovakia. The fi rst two extracts – „Folk Song lyrics in the context of Literary Studies” and „The Folk Song Genre in the context of Music Studies” – deal with methodological issues regarding the ways of analysing folk song lyrics in a wider cultural context, and the possibility of situating folk music in the fi eld of Czech Music Studies. The third excerpt, entitled „The Status of the Czech Folk Song in national culture”, discusses the sources of folk music in Czech culture, the inspirations of major singer-songwriters, the development of folk music in the analysed period as well as its signifi cance during the totalitarian era in Czechoslovakia, and fi nally poses questions about its future in the context of national culture.

Important Position

Afrikaans popular music of a variety of genres and subgenres is currently flourishing. A very productive phenomenon is the re-interpretation of older songs, in particular folk songs. This article gives a short historical overview of the collection and publication of Afrikaans folk songs, followed by a brief description of various ways in which folk songs have previously been utilised. The collection of Afrikaans folk songs known as the FAK (Federation of Afrikaans Cultural Organisations) songbook earned itself an important position in Afrikaans cultural circles, but it was also stigmatised. Since the end of the 1990s, Afrikaans popular songwriters and singers showed a renewed interest in so-called FAK songs and a number of musical arrangements and re-writings of folk song lyrics have been recorded. A number of lyrics that either contain references to folk songs or are re-writings of folk songs, are discussed. Tension between the old, well-known words of the folk songs and the new songs often develops, while the intertextual references to older songs are used to comment on current situations. The importance of popular music in minor cultures is briefly discussed.
