With expanded youth music scenes, an increasing number of acclaimed diasporic professional musicians who take the music back to India, and a broad network of students and teachers in the United States, Carnatic music has been firmly established in the diaspora. I argue that the decentralization of Carnatic music and persistent interactions built around its aesthetic mark the emergence of a Carnatic ecumene. I draw from interviews with musicians and personal experiences as a Carnatic musician.","PeriodicalId":43622,"journal":{"name":"ASIAN MUSIC","volume":"52 1","pages":"57 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/amu.2021.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45277589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholarship on khayal, which focuses on its construction as national and classical, has often rendered its social experiences in ways that suggest homogeneity across regions and quasi-autonomy from popular music. Elaborating on a contemporary instance—a television show that features Marathi popular songs—this article unpacks the relationship of khayal with popular music in the state of Maharashtra. In the process, the article reflects on the meanings that khayal has accrued in a regional context as well as on the nature of music categories and genres and their calibration.","PeriodicalId":43622,"journal":{"name":"ASIAN MUSIC","volume":"52 1","pages":"30 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/amu.2021.0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41807456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the instruments age and are played, the pitch of each component changes independently and the ensemble will periodically require retunings that can meaningfully affect its character. This article conducts a cultural analysis of how the tunings of two so-called American gamelan changed in response to their communities in the United States. My analysis shows that competing intonational ideologies and changing musical needs can be deciphered from the ways in which these tunings evolved, shedding new light on how twentieth-century American composers integrated Indonesian arts into their lives.Abstract:Intonasi instrumen gamelan secara bertahap berubah seiring berjalannya waktu. Seiring bertambahnya usia instrumen yang dimainkan, nada masing-masing komponen yang berubah secara independen dan ansambel secara berkala membutuhkan penyelarasan kembali dapat mempengaruhi makna karakternya. Artikel ini melakukan analisis budaya tentang bagaimana perubahan laras dua komunitas yang dise-but Gamelan Amerika sebagai tanggapan terhadap komunitas mereka di Amerika Serikat. Analisis saya menunjukkan bahwa ideologi intonasional yang bersaing dan berubahnya kebutuhan musik dapat diuraikan dari cara-cara di mana laras ini berkembang, sekaligus memberi penerangan baru tentang cara composer Amerika abad ke dua puluh mengintegrasikan seni Indonesia dalam kehidupan mereka.","PeriodicalId":43622,"journal":{"name":"ASIAN MUSIC","volume":"52 1","pages":"120 - 88"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/amu.2021.0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41797611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
