Penelitian ini membahas sebuah upaya pengembangan formasi ensambel gitar dalam rangka pencapaian suatu kesetaraan artistik terhadap penyajian sebuah konseto untuk orkestra dan solois instrumen tiup. Proses penelitian ini diterapkan dalam konteks pembelajaran dan pengajaran paket mata kuliah Koor/ Orkes/ Ensambel (KOE) pada kurikulum pendidikan tinggi musik di Indonesia. Permasalahan utama yang dibahas dalam studi ini ialah bagaimana menerapkan repertoar orkestra pada sebuah ensambel gitar? Tujuan dari pemecahan masalah tersebut ialah untuk memperkaya materi pengajaran ensambel gitar yang termasuk salah satu kelompok studi dari paket kelas-kelas KOE. Kontribusi hasil penelitian ini adalah rekonstruksi model pembelajaran ensambel gitar dari tingkat menengah hingga tinggi. Guna mencapai target yang telah ditetapkan, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan kombinasi metodologis di antara metode transkripsi musikologis dengan metode tindakan kelas yang diadopsi pada studi material dan proses belajar ensambel gitar. Permasalahan yang teridentifikasi disimpulkan dengan pembuatan prototipe aransemen baru sebagai alternatif materi pengajaran melalui proses pengolahan editorial. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keterbatasan gitar dalam menghasilkan kesetaraan terhadap kulalitas artistik orkestra dapat diatasi tidak hanya dengan mentranskrip reduksi pianonya tapi langsung dari skor orkestranya. Oleh karena itu, ensambel gitar dapat menjadi alternatif yang lebih baik dari versi pengiring piano dalam menyajikan sebuah konsert The Adaptation of Concerto on a Guitar Ensemble as the Enrichment Effort of the Ensamble Teaching Materials. This study discusses an effort in developing guitar ensemble formation in order to achieve an artistic equality to the performance of a concerto for orchestra and wind soloist. This is applied in the context of Indonesian higher music education’s curriculum for the class room teaching and learning of the choir/ orchestra/ ensemble (COE) subject package. The main problem discussed in this study is how to apply an orchestral repertoireire to an ensemble guitar? The purpose of this study is to enrich the teaching material of guitar ensemble, which is one among the COE classes. The result of this study is contributed to the reconstruction of guitar ensemble teaching model from middle to higher grades. To achieve the target that have formerly been set, this study has combined musicological transcription method and the class room action research which are adopted to research material study as well as guitar ensemble learning process. Problems that had identified was concluded by prototyping the new arrangement through transcription process from the concerto repertoire as the teaching material alternative, by editorial treatment. This study concludes that the guitar limitedness to result the equality with the orchestral artistic quality could be overcome not by transcribing from its piano reduction but directly from orchestral score. Because of that reason, guitar ensemble could be a better alternative to the piano accompaniment in performing a concerto for a wind solist, and at the same time it enriches guitar ensemble repertoire.

This critical review of Leonard Bunce Meyer's musical analysis theory is aimed at obtaining a basic understanding of an approach that seems uncommon in Indonesian studies of Western music. This study uses a speculative method with descriptive as well as critical approaches, where Meyer's analysis theory is depicted critically by conforming it toward Nicolas Cook's critical review which was based on the Shenkerian concept. The relevance application of this analysis model in the studies of musical form in Indonesia then is discussed. This study concluded that the psychological music analysis of Meyer was carried out by the foreground expectations of the tonal music linear and rhythmical analysis. Compared to the Shenkerian approach which gives greater attention to the harmonic reduction that focused on the harmonic background of tonal music, Meyer’s approach would be less practical in observing at large-scale musical structures. Meyer’s analysis would be valuable to the performers as well as music analysts if they also take into account their musical style concepts which mostly regarded as the area of aesthetic rather than technical analysis. For Indonesia, this method is appropriate for Master and Doctorate studies in Western Music.

This study examined the characteristics of Kunimatsu’s guitar arrangements in Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion by comparing aspects of musical form, melody, and harmony. As with other arrangements’ performances, the primary motif of Astor Piazzola’sOblivion melodic theme in Kunimatsu guitar arrangement has always been played differently from the original version. This performance phenomenon could responsibly risk blurring the identification of structural boundaries within its musical form. The purpose of this study is to prove the basic construction of Oblivion melody, including its form structure and rhythmic characteristics, by comparing Kunimatsu’s arrangements against the composer’s original score. This study uses musicological research methods. The approaches applied in studying this work are analytical, theoretical, and comparative.  This study compares the two data to reveal the musical forms and the differences in the primary motive rhythmic characteristics. The results of this study are findings of the Oblivion musical forms in both publications and the differences in primary motives rhythmic patterns in both sources. The difference in musical form is impressive, possibly caused by the insertion of auxiliary members. As a result, Kunamitsu arrangement includes using the two-part song form, originally a three-part song form. With the revelation of the original melodic structure that is clear from the results of this study, the musicians who will present the Oblivion will at least have the essential reference in their interpretation. This research contributes to expanding studies in classical guitar performance and musical forms and new approaches in textual musicological analysis that are still infrequent.

This study analyzes the musical structure of classical ritornello of Mozart’s Concerto in G for Flute, K.131. Problem that is discussed here is where the changing spots of sonata form’s main sections happened in this Mozart work? The purpose is to gain an understanding of the application of sonata form in early ritornello classical concerto. To achieve the goal this study utilizes the theoretic-analytical method. Analitically, subject is reconstructed into parts to understand their relationship that leads into its formal unity as a compositional work. Theoretically, analysis findings are confirmed to theories of musical forms. Through this theoretic-analytical method this study concludes that even though composed in ritornello style this work applies the standard sonata Allegro form. Kajian ini menganalisis bentuk musik konserto ritornello klasik dari Concerto in G for Flute, K.131, karya W.A. Mozart. Permasalahan yang dibahas ialah di manakah titik-titik perubahan seksi-seksi utama bentuk sonata yang terjadi pada karya Mozart ini? Tujuan kajian ini ialah untuk memperoleh pengetahuan mengenai penerapan bentuk sonata pada konserto klasik awal yang bergaya ritornello. Guna mencapai tujuan tersebut kajian ini menerapkan metode analitikal-teoretis. Secara analitikal, karya ini didekonstruksi ke dalam bagian-bagian guna memahami keterkaitan bagian-bagian tersebut  yang membawa pada suatu kesatuan bentuk sebagai sebuah karya. Secara teoretik temuan dari analisis ini dikonfirmasikan pada teori-teori bentuk musik yang relevan. Melalui metode analitikal-teoretis tersebut kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa walaupun terbingkai oleh gaya ritornello, karya ini menggunakan bentuk sonata Allegro.
