Gendhing Mega Mendhung Jati Karang by Pardiman Joyonegoro.
This wonderful piece is an arrangement and reinterpretation of several classic pieces, with the addition of new vocals and a new structure. This piec e was a favorite of the musicians who felt taht the piece was very refreshing. Mega Mendhung is a prior “big gendhing” piece that is long and large. The meaning of the name is “Cloudy Sky”. Jati Karang, which means “strong rock” is a shorter version of this piece that is a much different reinterpretation that showcases a dignified and strong personality. Pak Pardiman also chose this theme to honor his home which is near the Karangjati street in Yopgyakarta..
