Abstract

This article is intended to find the answer to the phenomenon of and change in the musical compositions accompanying the performance of Surakarta style classical shadow play. Traditionally, the musical compositions were arranged in accordance with the scenes and characters in such a way that no change could be made arbitrarily; in other words, they were arranged permanently. However, new musical compositions have been recently created to replace the existing ones, meaning that what was permanently arranged was not absolutely adhered to. The musicological, shadow play puppetry dramaturgy and social approaches, and the theory of change were used in the study. The data were collected through library research and field observation. The data were textually analyzed. In addition, the data were also analyzed using the technique of playing gambelan instruments. The results showed that several musical compositions kept being presented; however, the identities of the others had been changed in regard to their pitches ‘laras’ and the way of performing the classical shadow play ‘garap’. The (internal) need for how the classical shadow play should be performed ‘garap’ and the (external) need for fulfilling what musical compositions were desired and selected by the viewers determined whether a musical composition was continued or changed. Keywords: Continuity, change, musical composition, performance, and shadow play
