In Ladrang “Wilujeng”, is the singers’ text (soloist/choir) specifically related to the title of the piece or the “Wilujeng” melody? Explain your answer
What will be an ideal response?
• No. The text of both the soloist and choir is generic, not specifically related to the melody of the piece or its title. "To a great degree, Javanese melodies and texts lead independent lives. For example, one may sing a melody with a variety of texts or sing a single text in a variety of gamelan pieces."
