Klenengan Pujangga Laras

Year 9, #12

20 October 2010
Home of Dr. Rahayu Supanggah, Benawa, Palur

On Wednesday, 20 October 2010 we had the LAST klenengan in the 9th fiscal year running. It took place at the home of Dr. Rahayu Supanggah in Benawa, Palur. Bp. Iyasa, penggerong RRI Surakarta, decided on the gendhing for the evening.

Our new year TEN will begin with a klenengan at the home of Bp. Saguh in Delanggu, sometime in late November 2010.

(After the suwuk gropak Bp. Wakidi, Bp. Wakidjo, and Bp. Yadi all called out for ada-ada in various ways/signs, but the gerong section were “ragu-ragu”—hesitant—and the gender player put down his tabuh and said the time of night “didn’t lend itself to ada-ada yet”, so it didn’t happen. To this DAY the 3 musicians mentioned above are bemoaning that it didn’t go on to a suite of palaran!)

(Different from the Lambangjiwa in pak Mloyo’s book, Bp. Iyasa got this from ISI—said it was something that Bp. Kamso had given him, and he said that the Mangkunegaran had done a siaran of it. I didn’t really have a chance to get the full story…)
