Drum ensembles are a feature of the traditional music that accompanies these practices. The Mandailing believe that ancestral and nature spirits are drawn like a magnet to the sound of cyclic drum rhythms that may be played on 3 types of drum sets. The “gordang sambilan”, a set of 9 tuned single-headed drums, has the highest orchestral status and was accordingly reserved for ceremonial occasions of the local raja/chieftain, including weddings and funerals. The very fast “Gordang Sambilan Irama Pamilihon” (‘Going Home Rhythm’) was recorded in December 1978. The piece is performed at the end of weddings, and other feasts, to accompany the departure of guests. Also included in the ensemble are kettle gongs (“momongan”), small cymbals (“talisasayap”), gongs and an oboe (“sarune” in Mandailing, and “sarunai” in the Malay and Indonesian languages).
