Abstract

This paper entitled Legendary Composers from the Batak Land in the Eyes of Artists in Millenial Era is the result of research conducted since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, to be precise since April 2020. This research aims to determine the composers from the Batak Land during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia until the beginning of Indonesian independence day, the role of the composers in fighting for and defending independence, and the privilege of the composers in the eyes of millennial-era artists. Scientific publications through reputable journals so that they can be read, understood and interpreted by readers, especially connoisseurs of reading in the fields of history and art. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a historical approach through heuristic steps (collection of primary and secondary data relevant to the topic of study), verification (criticism of external and internal sources), interpretation and analysis using semiotic theory (Ferdinand De Saussure) namely content analysis (content analysis), in order to see the meaning and description of the features from the artists' works. Furthermore, drawing conclusions and then describing them systematically and communicatively (historiography) so that they are easily understood by the readers. Sources of data obtained through documents by using library research (Library Research), observations, interviews, and online media via internet.
