In Ladrang “Wilujeng” what is the relative importance of the text and the musical elements (pitch and rhythm)?
What will be an ideal response?
• The use of a generic text interspersed with extra words and syllables whose meanings may be obscure gives greater importance to the musical elements such as pitch and rhythm. The words end up "serving primarily as vehicles for beautiful melody."
