Musical practice of Malay ‘traditional’ forms. Music SG.
Abstract
However, references to music can be found in the classical Malay text Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals) that traces the origins and descent of Malay royalty. Although the Sejarah Melayu is a work belonging to more traditional literary genre than history, it nevertheless provides some clue to what type of music could have been performed and heard in prior to the arrival of the British. Here, mention is made of the queen of Bintan, Iskandar Shah who is said to have been the first to use or instituted the nobat, which refers to both a drum as well as a royal orchestra that performs during a ruler's coronation, Bagindalah yang pertama nobat, maka diturut oleh segala raja-raja yang di bawah angin ini.1
