Klenengan Pujangga Laras

Year 7, # 8

2 July 2008
Home of Bp. Rahayu Supanggah, Benawa, Palur

Dear Friends,

On 2 July 2008, we had the 8th klenengan in the 7th fiscal year running. It was held at the home of Dr. Rahayu Supanggah in Benawa. It started at about 8:00 pm and lasted until 2:30 am. As is normal, there will be 11 klenengan in the year, with no klenengan in the fasting month (October this year) so there are three more klenengan in this fiscal year.

The official organizer of gendhing this month was Pak Wahyo. Each month we are now appointing someone to organize the 2-3 gendhing that are planned. They choose the gendhing and organize the notation—or mas Wakidi organizes the notation if necessary. Beyond the 2-3 gendhing they organize, the rest of the gendhing are unplanned as usual. This month it seemed very possible that some other members of Pujangga Laras strongly influenced Pak Wahyo, as the gendhing don’t seem like his type of choices. So starting next month we plan to notify the gendhing organizer privately and let them plan the gendhing in private before announcing them.
