Abstract


Setiap medium musik mempunyai keistimewaan yang bisa dikaji seperti halnyapada musik klasik Barat dan musik populer. Norma daya tarik musik populeryang ringan dan mudah dinikmati tidak seperti pada musik klasik Barat atauyang sering disebut sebagai musik seni, namun demikian bukan berarti bahwamemainkannya tidak ada syarat artistik. Bervariasinya musik dan banyaknya pelakumusik mengakibatkan standar yang tinggi dan menuntut pemahaman terhadapdetail musik. Musik populer bertolak dari kebiasaan orang dan musisinya inginmemenuhi kebutuhan tersebut. Gambaran emosional yang muncul pada teksmenyebabkan kecenderungan naturalistik dalam bernyanyi. Melalui penelusuranasal-usul musik populer dan penelitian studi kasus di lapangan ditemukan bahwamusik populer beraliran soul serta R&B (rhythm and blues) mempunyai kesamaanunsur dengan teknik dan gaya bernyanyi klasik pada penerapan suara yang ratadalam rentang ambitus (even scale technique), penggunaan imajinasi dengan iramabebas, nada-nada hiasan, teknik vibrato, dan bahkan gaya bernyanyi Gregorianmurni dengan iringan ritmis yang dianggap sebagai suatu kebaruan dalam musikpopuler.
