Abstract

Aesthetics is an observation of beauty, values, and judgments that view human works from the perspective of whether they are beautiful and not—Serat Sri Karongron by R. Ng. Purbadipura was written during the reign of Paku Buwana X, releasing a pulse of musical life in the Surakarta Palace, which implies the artistic content of the Surakarta Palace’s karawitan. Serat Sri Karongron explicitly mentions the atmosphere of the Seger sumyah karawitan feeling. The phrase Seger sumyah can be interpreted as something that can make someone feel happy because Seger sumyah refers to an excellent or delicious taste. Purbadipura notes that Seger sumyah refers to the gobyog karawitan presentation at the Surakarta Palace. On the other hand, Purbadipura reported that the gobyog karawitan presentation still refers to the karawitan presentation with three parameters of tan sora swaranira, rampak-rempeg, and sajanturing ringgit. The aesthetics of the Seger sumyah karawitan, which refers to karawitan composition with the nuances of gobyog, had a chance to live and develop during the reign of Paku Buwana X.

Abstract

Karawitan (gamelan music and singing accompanied by a gamelan) is an integral part of court activities. The very large role of karawitan makes the court karawitan an integral part of court traditional life. The large role of court karawitan is closely related to the traditional ceremonies. The importance of karawitan in the court traditional life finally makes the karawitan one of power legitimacy tools to confirm the king’s power and authority. Thus, there is a unity between the court tradition and karawitan, in other words, karawitan cannot be apart from the court tradition. In other words there is reciprocal and mutual relation between the king, karawitan and court tradition. Such relationship between king, karawitan and court tradition is called system. It is named system because there is a strong reciprocal relationship and the loss of one such element will harm the court traditional life survival.Keywords : king, karawitan, court tradition, system
