Tembang Bulanan — ‘Bukit Kemenangan’ by Djauhari

Описание: We proudly present the second volume of our monthly series, Tembang Bulanan—a magnificent virtual rendition of Djauhari’s ‘Bukit Kemenangan’ by Satriya Krisna and Felix Justin.

Directly translated to ‘The Victory Hill’, the piece portrays the war of independence—namely the Battle of Surabaya— that transpired after the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence in 1945. It commemorates the bombing of Surabaya by the Allied forces after commanding the surrender of Japanese weapons that the locals had seized, which is now immortalised as ‘Hari Pahlawan’ or National Heroes’ Day celebrated every year on November 10.

More to follow on this volume’s compositional background, poetry analysis, musical structure and beyond.
