Klenengan Pujangga Laras

Year 9, #5

24 March 2010
Home of Bp. Rahayu Supanggah, Benawa, Palur

On Wednesday night, 24 March 2010 we had the fifth klenengan in the 9th fiscal year running. This klenengan was held in Benawa, Palur, at the home of Dr. Rahayu Supanggah.

The klenengan started at 8:15 and ran through to 2:00 am.  Mas Wakidi had actually planned the gendhing so that we could have an evening of relatively basic and popular classics, but which had never been recorded by Pujangga Laras (like Sinom Longgor and Alas Padhang for example). However, at the last minute Bp. Raji asked permission for ISI students to play from 7-8 pm to practice for an exam, and when the elders took over I think they didn’t want to be seen by the ISI students playing only basic and popular pieces, so they changed mas Wakidi’s line up of pieces a bit towards the end with Miyanggong and Lomanis.

We had a new sindhen tonight, Ibu Purwati, from Boyolali. She sings for Ki Purbo Asmoro—has been a long standing member of Mayangkara (his troupe)—and was invited by Ibu Yatmi to come along from Boyolali for the first time.

Also a rare addition (although he has attended before) was Bp. Mulyanto from Gombang, Bp. Karno, alm’s son (Ki Mujoko Raharjo’s nephew).
