Abstract

This paper aims to look at the form and structure of the music of Masamper which is the singing of Sangihe community. Using qualitative research on historical and ethnomusicology perspectives is used to dissect this problem. Through observation; interviews; literature review and analysis of Masamper's songs to the Sangihe community; especially in Manganitu; they become data sources. The arrival of Zending the E.T Steller in the mid-19th century Sangihe was able to plant new life concepts through the cultivation of the Calvini Pietism teachings. Steller founded a work-school called the Mountain school in Manganitu. This self-sufficient school educates students to study while at school. Music being the main subject in this school is accompanied by work education and character education. Meister singer German-style vocal music was applied by E.T. Steller; with the concept of Metrum; the style of singing syllables; and accapella in this school. This could encourage the emergence of creativity which is the creating ability to the students and the community in Manganitu at a later time. The new art of singing style at Sangihe is singing akapela choir. Likewise the structure of music with various rhythm patterns adorns new creations called Masamper music.
