Gulintangan



a series of small "gongs" that are struck to produce


melodies/intonations. It is a main traditional instrument and plays a vital

role in an orchestral band. Without gulintangan, an orchestral band

cannot be operated.








A gulintangan note is equivalent as one octave of a


piano; White keys consist of the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B

and Black notes represent sharps.

Canang



is a traditional instrument that only acts as an accompaniment in an


orchestral band. Although it is not functioned to produce the main

melody, the absence of this instrument may cause dissonance in a

song that is played.






Canang Tiga also has its own note; C, D, E and is typically played in a


repetitive rhythm format. .










Canang Satu acts as a "time


marker" to ensure an ensemble is


playing at the right tempo

Tawak - Tawak


plays a role as "peningkah" and "peningkul" to respond to an

orchestral rhythm so that the sound of the music is not dissonant.









Its shape is a smaller version of a "Gong"


and slightly bigger than "Canang".

Gong




a traditional instrument that acts as an accompaniment

and diversify rhythms that is being played. Its role is


important in an orchestral band as it produces a "bass"

sound upon hitting it.

Gendang Labik





a percussion that acts as the main keeper of tempo in an

orchestral band. There are two ways to play this instrument:





1) Player can use their bare hands to play gendang labik

2) Player can use a "rotan" piece





















Typically in a gulintangan orchestral band, a player uses his/her bare

hands to play the gendang labik. When a gulintangan melody is combined

with other instruments such as "gambus" or a "violin", gendang labik is


plaued using a rotan piece.

IRAMA GULINTANGAN







TRADITIONAL GULINTANGAN RHYTHM

Irama Gulintangan (Traditional Gulintangan Rhythm)




IRAMA GULINTANGAN ORCHESTRA consists of a combination of

gulintangan, canang, tawak - tawak, gong and gendang labik. There are no


"nyanyian" (singing) in this rhythm. Some examples of Irama Gulintangan

are:





1) Raja Lalu - this rhythm is originally played when a king/Sultan has a visit


to Tutong district and the villages in that district. Raja Lalu is played upon

the arrival of a king/Sultan in an event or after leaving the event. This


rhythm can also be played to accompany the groom towards the bride's

house.





2) Sakai - this rhythm originally comes from a tribe that first lived in

Kampong Pebalat (now known as Kampong Saba) , Kampong Ayer. This


tribe has received blessings from a king to wear "gegandung", pisang -


pisang", "sapu - sapu aing" and "berpelampang" to honor their achievement

in discovering a place that is known as "Berunai".
