Year 12, #2
21 April 2013 On Sunday, 21 April 2013, we had the SECOND klenèngan in the 12th year running of Pujangga Laras. The klenèngan was held at the home of Ki Purbo Asmoro at Sanggar Seni Mayangkara, in Gebang, Kadipiro, Surakarta. Bp Kamso was responsible for the gendhing. (Unfortunately for this klenengan and the next one—Year 12 #3, 31 May 2013—and for the FIRST time in the 12-year history of Pujangga Laras—the records are totally lost. I don’t know what happened to my notes on who was there, pieces etc. So I just reconstructed a brief list of gendhing from the recordings. I didn’t take the time to listen all the way through to every piece, list the pesindhen, and try to guess all the instrumentalists by listening to their technique and patterns. I think that, considering it’s been 141 klenengan since the outset of Pujangga Laras and only these two records have been misplaced, we’ll just let it go, apologies! I remember that at the time I was trying to transition from handwritten records to digital ones, and for about 6 weeks, many of my jottings from all sorts of events were in fact in the end misplaced as I didn’t have an official book. Also, my recording did not work out so I borrowed this from a student recording and the volume was very, very low.) —Kitsie Emerson, Solo/Jakarta Acara GendhingGd Bn Pujangga Gandrung kt 4 kr mg 8, sl nem
