JATHILAN DANCE

Jathilan adalah salah satu kesenian rakyat khas Yogyakarta. Selain itu,
tarian tersebut juga berkembang di beberapa daerah lain di pulau Jawa,
namun dikenal dengan nama lain seperti “Tari Jaranan” dan “Tari Kuda
Lumping”. Jathilan berasal dari kata “njathil” dalam istilah Jawa berarti
‘meloncat-loncat menyerupai gerak-gerik kuda dan menggambarkan kuda
yang sedang berjingkrak-jingkrak’. Properti yang digunakan dalam Tari
Jathilan berupa replika atau boneka kuda, yang dikenal dengan kuda kepang.
Tari Jathilan berkembang pesat, salah satunya digunakan sebagai hiburan
dan pariwisata. Ciri utama Jathilan sebagai pariwisata adalah durasi yang
lebih singkat dengan gerak yang dinamis dan variatif. Sekarang, ayo berlatih
Tari Jathilan!

KLOTHEKAN: AN INDONESIAN TRADISIONAL MUSIC

Picture 1. Children Play “Klothekan”

Music can be defined as sounds that are regular, rhythmic and harmonious. The
sound does not only come from musical instruments that we know such as piano, guitar,
violin, trumpet and others, but also comes from familiar objects around us such as a table,
glasses, buckets, gallons of mineral water, bottles, spoons, and so on. A question arises:
can simple tools around us produce a rhythmic, harmonious and interesting sound that
can be enjoyed? We will introduce you our traditional music called “klothekan”.

The term “klothekan” comes from the sound made from objects being hit or beaten,
causing a loud noise "thek-thek-thek" which people then call it “klothekan”. In some areas
in Indonesia, klothekan is also a hereditary tradition, namely the tradition of waking
people up by walking around the village using household appliaces such as buckets, pans,
gallons, and so on. Nowadays, klothekan is no longer played only to wake people up with
its noisy voice, but klothekan also has started to become a musical performance. It comes
with new arrangements so that the sound of klothekan becomes harmonious, beautiful,
interesting and entertaining.
Some musical elements related to klothekan music are as follows.

1. Rhythm is a series of regular movements that are the basic elements of music.
Rhythm relates to the short length of notes and the severity of the stress or accent
on the notes, as well as the regular movement. This regularity of motion makes the
song more beautiful to hear and feel.

2. Tempo is a measure of speed of a song's rhythm which is also one of the elements
of a musical work of art. If the song is played in a faster way, the higher or greater
the tempo value of the music. Tempo itself has several categories, namely, very
slow (largo), slower (lento), slow (adagio), medium (andante), slightly fast
(moderato), fast (allegro), faster (vivace) and the last one is very fast (presto).

3. Harmony is a combination of tones played in a piece of music or a set of tones
which, when played together, will produce a beautiful sound.

4. Timbre is a tone color (voice/sound) that is different for each vocal or instrument.
The timbre produced by a wind instrument will be different from the timbre of a
string or percussion instruments, even though the instruments are played
together.

At this moment, we will learn and practice how to play klothekan music using the
following tools.

1. Ember Besar (large bucket)
Ember besar dapat menghasilkan suara rendah (low) sehingga dapat
difungsikan sebagai suara bass drum dalam perkusi.

Gambar 2. Ember Besar (Large Bucket)
Cara memainkannya dengan cara memukul bagian bawah ember besar
menggunakan tangan.
2. Galon (gallon)
Galon kosong dapat menghasilkan suara agak rendah (low-mid), sehingga
dapat difungsikan sebagai suara tenor bass dalam perkusi.

Gambar 3. Galon kosong
Cara memainkannya adalah dengan cara memukul bagian bawah galon
menggunakan tangan.

3. Panci (pot)
Panci dapat menghasilkan suara tinggi (high), sehingga dapat difungsikan
sebagai suara.

Gambar 4. Panci (pot)
Cara memainkannya adalah dengan cara memukul bagian bawah panci
menggunakan sendok.
4. Gelas (drinking glass)
Gelas dapat menghasilkan suara tinggi (high), sehingga dapat difungsikan
sebagai suara triangle dalam perkusi. (Please, choose a thick glass.)

Gambar 5. Gelas (drinking glass)
Cara memainkannya adalah dengan cara memukul gelas menggunakan
sendok.
5. Dua Tutup Panci (2 pot lids)
Tutup panci dapat menghasilkan suara tinggi (high), sehingga dapat
difungsikan sebagai suara cymbal dalam perkusi.

Gambar 6. Tutup panci (pot lid)
Cara memainkannya adalah dengan cara memukulkan kedua tutup panci.
6. Beras (rice)
Beras dapat difungsikan sebagai suara shaker atau marakas dalam perkusi.

Gambar 7. Beras dalam botol
Cara memainkannya adalah dengan cara memasukkan sedikit beras ke dalam
botol kecil.
7. Vokal (vocal)
Agar lebih menarik, dalam musik klothekan ini ada beberapa anak yang
menyanyikan lagu tersebut dan musik klothekan berfungsi untuk mengiringi
nyanyian tersebut.

RAMAYANA PUPPET

Ramayana is one of the most famous historical story in Java. There are some
version of story about Ramayana. Long short story, it is believed that the Indonesian
version of the epic was written during the Medang Kingdom (732-1006 AD) in Central
Java. It is known as “Kakawin Ramayana”, as it is in kakawin meter in Old Javanese
language. At the time, Buddhism was dominant in Sumatra, West, and Central Java.
Through shadow puppetry (wayang kulit and wayang purwa), the story of Ramayana
helped bring about a resurgence in Hinduism. Of course, the story has been adapted from
the original and changed a bit throughout the centuries. The version that you get in
Indonesia is different from the one you might see in Thailand, and both are quite different
from the original. (Source: https://blogs.transparent.com/indonesian/indonesian-
