'Rumah Ginevra'
Composed by Arya Pugala Kitti @aryapkitti
Lyrics by Wirawan Cuanda

As the last song of the song cycle Emosi dan Sensasi, ‘Rumah Ginevra’ is the only song that is free from any dark background story. The poem was inspired by the author’s experience in the city of York, where his perception of place and people fuses.

‘Rumah Ginevra’ translates into Ginevra’s House, a pun of Ginevra House @ginevra.house, the name of Wirawan’s dear friend, who is also the co-composer of Bhishma, a song cycle for baritone and gamelan. The song paints the longing and sentiment evoked by sensory perceptions of various objects around the house when he lived there with her and @coates_frances , such as the Ethiopian music they hear in dinners, the creaking of the wooden floorboards, or the floating dust from their purple sofa.

In this song, Kitti focuses on word painting, imagining the sound world translated from the text. In general, the composition aims to convey warm, homey feelings, with glimpses of good memories preserved in the song. The song opens up with constant otherworldly tunes and twinkling chirps of ornaments, painting a quiet fantasy landscape.

Since Ginevra, the muse of this song, is also a gamelan artist, there is a sense of transformational process from diatonic to pentatonic material to reflect the gamelan tunes. There is also a comical sense after the dramatic building up on the phrase “terikat oleh tempe dan sambal”, highlighting how mundane things, such as tempe and chilli paste, unexpectedly lead to a deeper bond between the poet and the muse. The final phrase “yapapahuaa” is taken from her habit of vocalising the melodies that either is popping up or is being contemplated, and the non-metric, free rhythm piano sequence accompanies the voice to fade into eternity of the memory.

Performed by
Wirawan Cuanda, baritone
Daniel Adipradhana @danz_pianist, piano

It has been a month since one of the biggest chapters in my life finished, heralding the arrival of even bigger ones in the future.

This third recital is the final exam for my study in the UK. I am grateful for my progress so far, and I want to work hard for even more progress in the future.

If you missed the live streaming, here is the link to the recording:

I am thankful for everyone who is involved in and supported the performance: my co-composer Ginevra House, @kurisup @amanda_dc29 @jrpeas and Gamelan Sekar Petak.

Here are some snippets from the show:
Slide 1: the performers

Slide 2: the audience

Slide 3: the journey to the frozen hell with Charon, the oarman of Styx.

Slide 4: ngl I have a bittersweet feeling with 'Rivolgete'. I want to keep on working on it and perform it better next time

Slide 5: 'Se tradirmi' initially was just a fun idea between me and Amanda. This athletic duet definitely needs a revisit in the future.

Slide 6: I love the aria sooo much that it excruciatingly annoys me to this day how I was so careless at the crucial end despite the smooth practices. I want to sing it every now and then although it is not (yet?) suitable for my fach.

Slide 7: the dramatic opening of 'The Love of My Own', the first song of Bhishma, the song cycle that Ginevra and I composed.

Slide 8: transition toward the second song, 'I Remember Her'. The war conch horn was so brilliant, the Kodhok Ngorek pattern was so majestic, I just can't 😍.

Slide 9: transition toward the last song, 'Truth'. This was my favourite part of the song cycle. Ginevra ingeniously juxtaposed the chaos of warzone with the serenity of Bhishma's last moment.

Slide 10: the ending of the cycle. Bhishma's death was so peaceful, colorfully portrayed by the silence and the reverb from the gendér's last notes.

Feels like I have fully ‘milked’ my birthday week!
Full of gratitude to all the wonderful people in my life who shared it with me, and to those who couldn’t be there, who sent lovely messages.
The cards I received show my friends really ‘get’ me!
NB the one about social media/’your generation’ was actually from my bro who is only 14mths older lol.
Loved the present wrapped in one of my old show posters! Eco and thoughtful.
