25. Kombang Mara
This presentation of Kombang Mara is quite interesting. In reconstructing the process of composing Kombang Mara, I find a complex mind of the composer in creating this piece. The merong part, the first section of the piece, is composed based on the process of contracting or expanding phrases of a song of the puppeteer (dhalang), the sulukan Pelog Lima Wantah.
