<<< Welcome to Angklung Web Institute (AWI)! This website is a medium of information exchange about angklung knowledge and competence, especially diatonic angklung in orchestral composition. The Father of Angklung Daeng Sutigna first created the diatonic angklung in 1938. Until now, angklung still has to face many challenges of identity to be acknowledged as one of world’s standard music instruments. One major problem is that there is no firm standard yet in constructing, tuning, forming, playing, and compositing angklung. Another problem is that until today, an angklung music community as a media of education and industrialization of the angklung music hasn’t been founded yet. Through this website we would like to ask you who have a great concern to the development of angklung to pass this piece of information to the world in order to support this developing music instrument. Through this website we would like to convey an angklung-ical activity to an angklung team or community and hopefully someday the industrialization of angklung can be realized. Last, it is our duty to raise our angklung to be appreciated just like the other world’s standard music instruments. Thank you.          <<< Welcome to Angklung Web Institute (AWI)!

KENALAN SAMA ANGKLUNG (Jalan Kenangan.Net) Print E-mail
Ditulis Oleh: Budi Supardiman   
Sunday, 01 January 2006
Angklung adalah alat musik tradisional yang dibikin dari bambu. Seperti bisa diliat di gambar, angklung terdiri dari tabung-tabung bambu dengan panjang dan diameter yang berbeda-beda. Maininnya dengan digoyang atau digetar sehingga menghasilkan nada tertentu. Dari daerah mana sebenernya angklung berasal, kurang jelas juga. Tapi ada yang bilang dari daerah Baduy di Jawa Barat. Yang jelas angklung juga dikenal di daerah2 lain di Indonesia, bahkan juga Malaysia dan beberapa daerah di Thailand (di sana namanya angklung juga lho).

Alat musik yang lama nggak berkembang ini mendapatkan sentuhan baru pada tahun 1938 oleh Bapak Daeng Sutigna, yang oleh orang Sunda lebih dikenal dengan Pa' Daeng. Ide beliau adalah biar angklung bisa dimainin dalam tangga nada diatonis, yaitu tangga nada modern yang kita kenal sekarang ini dan terdiri dari 7 nada (do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si). Karena jasa Pa' Daeng ini jugalah angklung jadi populer di Indonesia.

Pa' Daeng berusaha menggunakan angklung sebagai alat pendidikan. Mottonya adalah 5 M: Murah, Mudah, Menarik, Massal, dan Mendidik. Beliau juga sempet menggelar pentas di Konferensi Asia Afrika tahun 1955, bahkan ngajarin beberapa anggota delegasi dari luar negeri untuk main angklung.

Balik ke 5 M tadi, angklung emang relatif murah karena terbuat dari bahan yang murah (seenggaknya di Indonesia yah..), yaitu bambu. Mudah, karena buat mainin angklung kita nggak perlu punya keterampilan atau bakat musik yang ekstra. Menarik, karena kesederhanaannya, bunyinya yang riang tapi lembut, bentuknya yang unik dan bisa mainin lagu2 modern juga.

Angklung juga merupakan alat musik massal. Maksudnya bukan satu angklung dimainin rame2 (duh!) tapi buat mainin satu lagu diperlukan banyak orang. Biasanya emang satu orang pegang satu angklung, tapi kalo kurang orang (seperti yang pernah dialamin gue & temen2 sekampung di sini pas Indonesien-Abend) bisa pegang dua sekaligus, asalkan nada2 itu nggak muncul berurutan.

Yang terakhir, mendidik, ya karena selain belajar bermusik kita juga belajar kompak ama sesame pemain, sabar karena musti latihan teratur (dan kadang ada temen nyang rada2 lemot.. hehe..), disiplin & konsen. Makanya banyak sekolah-sekolah di Jakarta & Jawa Barat punya fasilitas angklung buat praktik pelajaran kesenian atau ekstrakurikuler.

Orkestra Angklung

Sekarang angklung sering dimainin di acara2 gede sebagai sebuah orkestra. Sering juga dikombinasi dengan permainan alat musik Barat seperti gitar, perkusi dll. Angklung emang bisa mainin hampir semua jenis lagu, dari lagu wajib kayak "Indonesia Pusaka", klasik seperti "Der Blaue Donau" alias "Blue Danube"nya Strauss, kontemporer seperti musiknya Yanni, sampe yang ngepop kayak "You'll Be in My Heart"nya Phil Collins. Angklung juga bisa dipake buat ngiringin vokal.

Orkestra angklung yang lengkap biasanya terdiri dari sekitar 40 orang. Ada yang pegang melody, rythme, bass, dll. Makin banyak pemainnya, makin bervariasi juga lagu yang bisa dimainin.

Aransemen angklung yang baik adalah yang bisa dimainin secara optimal. Karena tiap orang pegang satu nada, bisa jadi kita sulit dengan angklung mainin lagu yang gampang dimainin dengan piano misalnya. Tapi prinsipnya, aransemen nggak harus canggih dan rumit2 asal bunyinya "mengalir" alias nggak terputus-putus, pasti udah enak didenger kok. Makanya angklung bakal susah ngebawain lagu-lagunya Limp Bizkit.

Angklung dan Anak Muda

Buat banyak anak muda, alat2 musik tradisional seperti angklung ini sering dibilang "nggak funkéé!". Kedengarannya klise yah.. tapi menurut gue sih salah satu penyebabnya adalah kurangnya informasi tentang musik tradisional. Cuma ngapalin "alat musik X asalnya dari daerah Y" emang nggak bakal ngepek.

Kata sebuah lagu dangdut, untuk sayang kite kudu kenalan dulu! Nyoba mainin sendiri dan bereksperimen bakal lebih bikin kita cinta daripada cuma nonton dan dengerin doang. Sayangnya banyak sekolah yang masih mentok di fasilitas. Gue merasa beruntung karena pernah main angklung, degung, suling dkk waktu SD dulu. Tapi kan nggak banyak yang bisa begitu.

Kesan yang menarik tentang angklung pada anak muda bisa ditumbuhkan dengan aransemen yang ngepop, tata panggung yang funky dan kalo udah mulai ikut latihan, tentunya dengan gaya latihan yang rada2 informal tapi tetep serius. Kita bisa niru Vanessa Mae yang bisa bikin biola jadi populer buat anak muda, Maksim dengan lagu2 klasiknya, atau dalam konteks yang lebih luas, seperti Walt Disney waktu mempopulerkan karya klasik "Hunchback from Nôtre-Dame".

Contoh grup angklung yang udah ngetop misalnya Kelompok Paduan Angklung (KPA) SMAN 3 Bandung dan Kabumi UPI (Univ. Pendidikan Indonesia, dulu IKIP) Bandung, yang udah sering tampil di acara2 besar baik di Indonesia maupun di luar dan sering menjuarai kejuaraan atau festival. Kabumi malah punya cabang di Belanda dan Jerman.

Tapi sanggar angklung yang paling terkenal adalah Saung Angklung Mang Udjo di Jl.Padasuka 118, Bandung. Mang Udjo Ngalagena (alm) ini seorang pengrajin angklung dan sekaligus guru angklung buat ratusan anak dari sekitar tempat tinggalnya. Mereka bikin pentas di kawasan timur Bandung ini setiap hari jam setengah 4 sore (kalo blom berubah) dan udah berhasil memikat ribuan turis. Kalo kapan2 ke Bandung, mangga, mampir aja ke sana. Oh iya, kalo mo naek angkot, ambil jurusan Cicaheum yah!
