ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the melodies in today’s popular minang songs. In this article, researchers used two pieces derived from minang songs that have been circulating, namely, Minyak habih samba tak lamak from David Istambul and Tadayo Gurauan Sayang from Rayola. Both melodies in the music are analyzed with a musical approach and in a qualitative paradigm. The results obtained in this study are: first, the current popular minang song is a song that has a melody with good standards. The creation of basic motifs and their development is neatly arranged. The motifs are processed with some sequence processing and imitation of motifs that add ornamentation to the melodic lines. Both melodies on popular minang songs are dominated by stepping movements with 2nd major/minor intervals, then tucked in some Movements that jump at intervals of 3rd and so on. Stepping flowing movements give the impression of an eastern melody that is pleasant to sing due to the not-too-high level of complexity. Thirdly, two ornaments that always appear in this popular minang song are Garinyiak and Sayik, and these two ornaments are derived from the vocal and instrumental arts of the Minangkabau tradition, such as saluang dendang, Bansi, rabab, etc. In addition, ornaments have also appeared several times, such as appoggiatura, acciaccatura, and grupetto. Fourth, the vocal techniques in this popular minang song are pretty diverse but relatively easy to perform by any singer. Such as the presence of designs and dynamic signs of Legato, Glissando, and crescendo on the melodic path.
