Flores island, Kabupaten Flores Timur, Kecamatan TANJUNG BUNGA, desa Waiklibang (Keywords): agrarian rite - polyphony - parallelism Nama nigi "difficult dance" (from haman "tread" and nigin "difficult") unfolds over a rhythmic cycle of sixteen times marked by the steps of the dancers. On this cycle, the singers alternate three melodic motifs, shared between two groups of duettists (opak and hodé'ana). Each embroiderer sings in a lower fifth. The pitch scale is tetraphonic (re mi fa sol). The “difficulty” (nigin) lies in the coordination between the cycle of sixteen beats marked by the dance steps and the melodic motifs. The song functions on an alternation between reciter (opak) and alternating duet (hode' ana') Alternation between two duets: two women and two men. The two duets sing at the same range. The male voice is placed upwards. The dokan gurun ("save, set aside, wrap") rite is done to store the seed in the attic. This seed is the body of a sacrificed woman. On this occasion, the myth of the origin of rice is recited all night long, while dancing in front of the koké temple, between the Maran clan house and the temple. See video, see publications. • This dance was recorded during the dokan gurun agrarian ritual (“enveloping the grain”). Nama nigi “difficult dance” (from haman “stamping” and nigin “difficult”) follows a rhythmic cycle of sixteen beats marked by the dancers' steps. On this cycle, the singers alternate three melodic patterns shared out between two groups of duettists (opak and hodé' ana). Each “embroiderer” sings at a perfect fifth below. The scale is tetratonic (DEFG). The “difficulty” (nigin) lies in the coordination of the sixteen beat cycle with the melodic patterns.
