Audio clip link (6:37) Hertz Hall April 28, 2018
This clip starts in a moderate tempo with music that accompanies a hero character dancing and strutting, then suddenly speeds up to an exciting tempo for a scene change, and just as abruptly slows to a sorrowful piece behind a short bit of narrated scene setting by the puppeteer (Ki Midiyanto). This leads into dual vocals between the puppeteer and our featured female singer (Heni Savitri), and finally ends with a small group of soft instruments accompanying the puppeteer in a hallmark vocal piece essential in Javanese shadow plays.
