Etymology of Angklung

The word angklung was originated from Sundanese (angkleung-angkleungan) that means the movement of angklung player and the sound “klung” that comes from the angklung instrument itself. Some other version also said that the word angklung was formed from two Balinese words – angka and lung. Angka means tone and lung means broken or lost! and angklung thus means an incomplete tone

The Angklung History

The angklung is made of bamboo and originated in West Java. It is a symbol of good luck that is used in spritual rituals (hand). The old angklung buhun, has tritonik (three) tones, tetratonik (four) tones and pentatonic (five) tones. The origin of this bamboo instrument is from spirit of Sundanese which is the myth of Nyai Sri Pohaci that lures Dewi Sri (rice Goodness) down to earth so that the rice plant and the people can thrive (Widyantika, 2014) reference from Journal of Public Pedagogies Number 2, 2017 from Yayan Rahayani, Bindi MacGill University Of South Australia

The bamboo tubes are bound with rattan cords and the tubes are carefully shaped and cut by a master craftsperson to produce certain notes when the bamboo or angklung was shaken or tapped. Players of angklung collaborate to create melodies that rely on cooperation through listening carefully to the harmony and rhythm of the group. As an enactment of public pedagogy this practise signifies social harmony and mutual respect (reference from Journal of Public Pedagogies Number 2, 2017 from Yayan Rahayani, Bindi MacGill University Of South Australia)
