Tari Piriang Diatas Piriang

Audio 3.3: Audio Example 3 in Chapter 3 of book: Margaret Kartomi, ‘Musical Journeys in Sumatra’, Champaign-Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2012. The Minangkabau region of West Sumatra is well-known for its harvest time plate dances (“Tari Piriang” in Minangkabau, “Tari Piring” in Indonesian), of which there are several varieties. The most common of these has dancers in kneeling position rotating both hands with a plate resting on each palm (secured when necessary by the thumb and the fifth finger). Another popular version has the plates on the ground and arranged in a circle. The dancers walk on each plate performing dance movements. This excerpt, “Tari Piriang Diatas Piriang” (literally ‘Plate Dance on a Plate’), recorded in December 1985, is an example of the music that accompanies that particular type of dance. The ensemble, led by Bp Amal Sahrudin, comprises large bronze gong-chimes (usually called “talempong” but known as “calenang” in the local dialect of the recording location), a tambourine, a double headed drum (“gandang”) and an oboe (“sarunai”) fashioned from a paddy rice stalk (“batang padi”) with a flared tube wound from lengths of coconut leaf. The “talempong” provides interlocking pitch and rhythm patterns. The “batang padi” player uses circular breathing to produce a continuous stream of melody. The other instruments provide jaunty rhythmic support as befitting the dance. Duration: 3 min. 22 sec.

音频3.3：本书第三章第3个音频示例，出自玛格丽特·卡尔托米（Margaret Kartomi）所著《苏门答腊的音乐之旅》（*Musical Journeys in Sumatra*），香槟-厄巴纳：伊利诺伊大学出版社，2012年。西苏门答腊的米南加保（Minangkabau）地区以其收获季餐盘舞闻名，该舞在米南加保语中称为“Tari Piriang”，印尼语中称为“Tari Piring”，拥有多个变体。其中最常见的变体为舞者双膝跪地，双手各托一盘（必要时可借助拇指与小指固定餐盘）并转动双手；另一款流行变体则将餐盘置于地面围成圆圈，舞者在每块餐盘上行走并完成舞蹈动作。本次节选为1985年12月录制的《Tari Piriang Diatas Piriang》（字面意为“餐盘上的餐盘舞”），正是这类舞蹈的伴奏音乐示例。该合奏由阿玛尔·沙鲁丁（Bp Amal Sahrudin）领队，乐器配置包括大型青铜锣编钟（当地通常称“talempong”，但录制地方言称“calenang”）、手鼓、双面鼓（“gandang”）以及以稻秆（“batang padi”）为管身、椰叶卷制扩音管的双簧管（“sarunai”）。其中“talempong”负责演奏交错嵌套的音高与节奏型；演奏“batang padi”的乐手使用循环呼吸法以实现持续不间断的旋律线条；其余乐器则为这支舞蹈提供契合风格的轻快节奏支撑。时长：3分22秒。
