Year 10, #4

11 March 2011
Home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo

On Friday 11 March 2011, we had the fourth klenengan in the TENTH fiscal year of Klenèngan Pujangga Laras. It was held at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro in Gebang, Kadipiro, Solo. It started at 8:00 pm and lasted through to 2:30 am.

And come to think of it, it was a very calm klenèngan....maybe the first in a long time that I have nothing to say special or unusual about it! And no one fell in the pool like last time.

Pak Wakidjo was the one to set the first four gendhing.

(The first time around the sindhènan should have already been using dhandhanggula text and maskentar/subasiti cengkok, but no one had given any clarification, and even the most clever of sindhèn would have had a hard time guessing that aspect of the gendhing. Once it came around to the second cyclic repetition, mas Wakidi went over and whispered “maskentar” in Bu Yayuk’s ear, after which she knew exactly what to do.)
