Debut Internasional Pertama Bagi Nicholas | Staccato, August 2023

DEBUT INTERNASIONAL PERTAMA BAGI NICHOLAS

Liputan Staccato, Agustus 2023

 

Nicholas Patrick Wiranata lahir dan besar di Jakarta. Sejak kecil, Nick, begitu ia biasa disapa, sudah menampakkan bakat musiknya. Ia sudah mulai ber-beat box. Bakat ini disadari oleh orang tuanya, Bp.Wiranata Kemala Teng dan Ibu Evie Lukman. Mereka mencari guru piano professional untuk membina perkembangan bakat Nick dan mereka sangat beruntung. Melalui dr. Dario Turk Sp.OG, dokter yang membantu persalinan Ibu Evie, mereka diperkenalkan dengan seorang music educator terkemuka lulusan Jerman, yaitu Ms. Jelia Megawati Heru, M.Mus.Edu.

Dibawah bimbingan Ms. Jelia, bakat musik Nick berkembang dengan sangat pesat. Ia mendapatkan bukan saja hanya pelajaran berpiano, melainkan juga pendidikan dalam bidang musik. Baru 6 bulan belajar piano, Nick sudah ikut dalam konser siswa dan penampilannya sangat memukau para hadirin. 

Pada usia 11 tahun, Nick telah menyelesaikan ujian Classical Piano grade 8 dengan gemilang. Dia selalu mendapatkan predikat super distinction (bahkan nyaris sempurna: 99!) dan menerima empat Rockstar Awards untuk piano grade 5, 6, 7, dan 8  karena mendapatkan nilai tertinggi di seluruh Indonesia (high scorer). Selain kecemerlangan prestasinya, Nick juga berhasil meraih Juara ke-1 Kompetisi Musik e-Rockfest 2021 yang diadakan oleh RSL Awards Asia.

HOLIDAY MUSIC IDEAS: "Ide Musik Inspiratif Selama Liburan" - by: Jelia M. Heru (Staccato, December 2018)

“HOLIDAY MUSIC IDEAS”

IDE MUSIK INSPIRATIF SELAMA LIBURAN

by: Jelia Megawati Heru
(Staccato, December 2018)

Tanpa terasa sudah akhir tahun lagi. Siapa sih yang nggak butuh liburan? Semua orang membutuhkan break; dari rutinitas, tekanan, dan stress. Yay! Liburan memang menyenangkan. Namun apakah pada saat liburan, bermain piano nya juga ikutan libur? Walau sedang liburan, konsep liburan tanpa bermain piano sebetulnya tidak ideal. 

Mungkin berlatih piano di musim liburan tidaklah sama dengan berlatih sewaktu anak bersekolah. Bentuknya bisa saja berbeda. Namun musik seharusnya tetap menjadi hal yang disukai oleh murid, sesuatu yang familiar, dan menyenangkan. Sehingga tidak ada drama tujuh babak, atau kata “HARUS”, “WAJIB”, atau “TERPAKSA”. Begitu juga dengan penyakit yang tidak ada obatnya, yaitu MALAS! Andai ada vaksin untuk virus MALAS, pasti vaksin ini akan laku keras.

Sangat disayangkan jika di titik persimpangan momentum yang krusial untuk maju, justru murid beralih kearah yang berlawanan – tidak jarang ke titik nol, atau bahkan minus. Semua investasi waktu selama ini menjadi sia-sia. Sebetulnya ini adalah masalah bagi orang tua dan guru. Di momen seperti ini biasanya guru akan kehilangan muridnya dan kemungkinan besar tidak akan melanjutkan pendidikan musiknya lagi.

Boro-boro memainkan satu lagu, disentuh saja pianonya tidak, sampai berdebu. Jadi bagaimana memotivasi anak agar tetap bisa mempraktekkan musik selama musim liburan? Apa yang bisa dilakukan oleh orang tua dan guru? Simak tips-tips nya pada artikel kali ini!

DIY Christmas Treat 2013

DIY CHRISTMAS TREAT 2013

by: Jelia Megawati Heru

I couldn't believe it, it's already end of year again. This year for Christmas, I wrote the student progress report and I made some Christmas treat for my students. Hope they're not in shock when their parents read the bad report, so I think they deserve something sweet lol... Christmas in a bottle sounds great, isn't it?

My students seem like the Christmas treat so much and some of my friends asked me curiously how did I make it? So, I decide to make this post. Crafting is one of my hobby since I was little. Scrap-booking is even better!

Are you ready? Here we go...

UKRAINIAN BELL CAROL for two pianos, eight hands

"UKRAINIAN BELL CAROL"
(for 2 pianos 8 hands)
Rearr. Jelia Megawati Heru

Listen "Ukrainian Bell Carol" for 2 pianos, 8 hands HERE
 

Listen "Ukrainian Bell Carol" in youtube

BRIEF HISTORY

Ukrainian Bell Carol is written based on Ukrainian folk song, 

The melody was created for choir in 1916 by Ukrainian composer 

Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921) and titled "Shchedryk", means "bountiful."
adapted by Peter J. Wilhousky as a "Carol of the Bells" 

Based on an old Ukrainian folk song, 

the original lyrics describes the swallow flying 

into a household to proclaim the plentiful year that the family will have. 

The swallow is a herald of spring coming, possibly of pre-Christian origins. 

The folk melody was sung in many Ukrainian villages 

on Jan. 13 – New Year's Eve on the Julian calendar 

– usually by adolescent girls going house to house in celebration of the new year.

The title chosen by him "Carol of the Bells" 

was harmonious with the old Slavic legend 

that at midnight the evening Jesus was born 

all the bells on earth started to sound of their own accord in his honor. 

Since then the song has become a popular Christmas tune 

especially in the US and Canada where it is also known as "Ukrainian Carol"

PIECE ANALYSIS

Leontovych originally created the piece as an assignment for a harmony course.

He was taking by correspondence to demonstrate the use of a four-note known as ostinato. The ostinato motif, a repeated four-note pattern within the range of a minor third, is thought to be of prehistoric origins. a New Year's chant known in Ukrainian as "Shchedryk" [the Generous One]. 

The original traditional Ukrainian text used a device, known as hemiola, in the rhythm (alternating the accents within each measure from 3/4 to 6/8 and back again). 

This device however is lost in the English translations and rarely is used in non-Ukrainian or instrumental performances.The original work was intended to be sung a cappella by mixed four-voice choir. 

Two other settings of the composition were also created by Leontovych: one for women's choir (unaccompanied) and another for children's choir with piano accompaniment. These are rarely performed or recorded. 

The choral work Shchedryk was first performed by students at Kiev University in December 1916. When American choir director and arranger Peter Wilhousky (1902-1978) heard Leontovich's choral work, it reminded him of bells; so he wrote new lyrics to convey that imagery for his choir.
