This study aims to examine the contribution of Ananda Sukarlan as a composer who is serious about building an Indonesian identity through the use of various Indonesian musical elements as material in composing piano and vocal works. How composers arrange various musical aspects that can work in a composition is the focus of this research. The study of musicology is used as an approach to dissect various aspects of the musical used, such as; melody, harmony, texture, tonality, scale, rhythm, timbre. Archipelago musical elements are a fundamental aspect in composing works that have 'new values' and 'different tastes' because they have uniqueness or characteristics. The complexity of the compositional techniques used in the preparation of the work shows a high level of creativity in producing vistuosic works. His works have become a repertoire for recitals, competitions, and music concerts for Indonesian and foreign pianists and soloist singers. Studying the works of Ananda Sukarlan indirectly also understands the musical diversity, the beauty of the region and the rich history of Indonesian culture.
