Lesson 1: INDONESIAN MUSIC
What’s In
Do you recall your lesson about Philippine music in your grade 7 music
competencies? You have learned that Philippine music comes in variety of forms and
has many functions as related to culture and traditions and is composed of vocal and
instrumental music.
Though we also have to be familiarized with the music of our neighboring
countries for us to learn and try to compare and assess how music plays part on their
daily lives as compared to Philippine music. It would help you realize how we differ
in terms of music elements, purposes, and performances and even beliefs and
practices regarding music.

Activity 1: Picture Analysis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmlAZxha8P
Direction: Analyze the picture of the Balinese gamelan orchestra above and
answering the questions that follow:
xi
What Is It
Wow! That was a nice start learner. You have observed in the picture that
Indonesians sit while playing their musical instruments. They usually use mallets to
sound off their instruments showing that their musical ensemble is percussion
dominated. Though if you realized, the way how we play our “takik” ensemble is
different from how they play their own since our way of sounding the instrument
requires musicians to stand and dance while playing them.
At present, Indonesia’s contemporary music is famous not only in the region
but can also be seen and observed in some Southeast Asian countries. The
gamelan orchestra is the most prevalent music practice in Indonesia. Gamelan covers
many types but Balinese and Javanese are the most famous among all types. Balinese
is performed in Bali and Javanese in Java, Indonesia. Like other ensembles that you
learned in your previous lessons, gamelan performance uses variety of instruments
which mostly includes the metallophones, xylophones, kendang and gongs, bamboo
flutes, bowed and plucked strings.
Furthermore, you have to be aware that in Indonesian music culture, vocal
music is used as an enhancement to the gamelan which is considered as significant as
gamelan itself.
Now, here are the Indonesian musical terms that you have to know:
Irama- the tempo term in Indonesia
Pesindhen – a female vocalist who performs with the gamelan
ensemble
Gerong – A unison male chorus that sings with the gamelan ensemble
Karawitan – the term given to any kind of Java gamelan music
In addition to that,gamelan orchestras are played to accompany “Wayang Kulit”,
dances and songs. This is assumed to hold supernatural powers and that they
considered their instruments sacred thus stepping over the instrument is a symbol of
disrespect. Indonesians show respect to their musical instruments by performing a
bow before sounding them. How about you? Are doing the same before you play your
instrument?
You have to be aware that Javanese gamelan is known as court music and is
percussion dominated too. The style of playing this ensemble gives a solemn
character. Look at the following picture showing the placements of instruments in the
Javanese gamelan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfrOSJRCsfM

xii
On the other hand, Balinese gamelan is also known as sacred music which
consists of metallophone and mostly gongs. The rapid change in tempo and dynamics
are the basic features. Sounds produced are very brilliant and bright as well as the use of fast
and rattling sounds of cymbals make unique characters. Placement of instruments is shown in
activity 1 picture.
In the later part of this module, you will encounter a song from Indonesia. One of the folk
music of Indonesia is the “Burung Kakatua in ¾ time signature and is being sang in Bahasa,
Indonesia. The song pertains to a cockatoo that sits on the window sill as compared to an old
grandmother with only two teeth.
That’s all about Indonesian music. Thank for your time reading the text and you may
continue with your next journey.

Lesson 2: MALAYSIAN MUSIC
What’s In
Before we start with the next lesson, you have learned in lesson 1 the two musical
ensembles of Indonesia which includes the Javanese and Balinese. Actually there are many
types of ensemble in Indonesia but these are the common ones observed and practiced. As it
was discussed in lesson 1, vocal music is used as ornamentation to the gamelan and is
considered as important as the gamelan.
This time, we will also try to understand the Music of Malaysia. By going over the
activities that follow, you will be encountering the answers to the following questions as you
move on.
Is there a difference in the ensemble of Indonesia to that of Malaysia?
Do they have the same function in their culture?
Are the instruments similar or not?
What’s New
Activity 2: Listening Activity
Thumbs up learner! You are really moving well in this module. I would like
you to listen to the “Rasa Sayang” folk song of Malaysia and answer the following
questions about the music elements used. Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch.
1. Is the tempo of the song steady or changing from one point to another?
2. What is the texture of the song?
3. What is the pitch of the song?
4. What is the dynamics of the song?
5. Did you observe crescendo or decrescendo dynamics in the song?
What is it
In listening to the “Rasa Sayang” song, you have observed that it has a steady
tempo with a homophonic texture and a moderate pitch and dynamics. This is one of
the folk songs of Malaysia that was literally translated in English as “ I’ve Got That
Lovely Feeling” in 4/4 time signature and it denotes a happy feeling/emotion.
You are probably wondering how you can distinguish Indonesian from
Malaysian music. For you to do so, pay attention to what you read about Malaysian
music. Malaysia is divided into two regions which include the West and East
Malaysia. The country is said to be multi-ethnic and multi-cultural leading to its
culture and

music development with influences of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Iban, Dayak,
Kadazandusun and Eurasians.
It is important for you to know that the music of Malaysia is mostly based around
percussion instruments and believed to have foreign elements from Kelantan-Pattani
region with a touch of Chinese, Thai, Indonesian and Indian. Classical/Folk music and
Syncretic/Acculturated music is the two categories of Malaysian music. Classical
music was developed during the pre-colonial period and still existing. On the other
hand, syncretic music was developed during the post Portuguese period. It was
observed that Malaysian musical instruments are mostly similar to that of the Indians.
In addition, a touch from local and foreign elements was perceived particularly
those from Arabian, Persian,Indian,Chinese, and Western musical and theatrical
sources. After the country was colonized by the British, Western music took place in
their musical development.
Have you ever witnessed musical ensemble of Malaysia?I want you to look and be
familiarized with the following musical ensembles and performances of the country.
1. Kertok
This musical ensemble is composed mostly of xylophones played rapidly and
to the beat in accordance to Malaysian purposes.
