Paduan Suara Mahasiswa Ahda Gitana - Jaranan
Tri Setyo Mutiara, conductor

Arr, Lukas Gunawan Arga Rakasiwi
“Jaranan” (arr. Lukas Gunawan Arga Rakasiwi) is a dynamic choral arrangement of a traditional Javanese folk song that draws inspiration from the jaranan dance, a ritual performance featuring trance-like movements and strong rhythmic patterns. In this setting, Rakasiwi captures the percussive energy and mystical atmosphere of the tradition through vibrant vocal rhythms, layered textures, and dramatic contrasts. The result is a piece that not only showcases the power and agility of the choir but also celebrates Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage in a contemporary concert setting.

Concert in Bandung, presented by the Bandung Choral Society in collaboration with Parahyangan Catholic University.
22-25 January 2025, Gedung PPAG Universitas Parahyangan, Bandung, West Java.
