Since there are many kinds of Moslem musical performances, and that they have similarities between one another, this study is meant to find out how the form of composition and the mode of performance of the music are presented, and also to identify the form of the music as a whole. This type of music wasn't formerly so popular in Semarang as it is today, but it has been developing gradually through a long process of acculturation. This music was considered to derive from Moslem musical tradition called "rebana" that has been acculturated into a modem "kasidah" music in Semarang.
